Just placed the order for an Uberti 1885 High-Wall cal. 45-70 single shot long range target rifle.

Always wanted one of these and now I can afford it.

Its from a time back when target shooting was a gentleman sport and looked like this:

Brought home a '99 Miata today. 5-speed (of course - automatic Miatas shouldn't be legal!) and equipped with racing seats, aftermarket steering wheel, drilled and slotted rotors, and adjustable coil-overs. Sapphire Blue Mica, tan interior and top. Box-o-goodies that came with it includes original steering wheel with air bag (which I'll probably put back in - I don't want an injury claim denied because of "modified" safety equipment,) and the original brake rotors, along with touch-up paint, 30-11 cans of cleaners and treatments, and some other stuff I haven't even looked at.

Back in 2004 I had my son's 94 or 95 Miata while he was in Iraq, and the bastard took it back when he returned. I've wanted one ever since, and finally am able to do it.

I'm a big guy, and the seats, with those bolsters, are a tight squeeze getting in and out, but very comfy once settled in. They're just a couple inches too far forward, though. There's plenty of room behind them, they just won't go any further back in their tracks... Something WILL be done, as it brings my knee up into the steering column and interferes majorly with being able to heel-and-toe.

Oooooooh, nice purchase there @wfooshee. Much jealousy will be spreading me thinks.

Logitech G613 - Wireless Mech. Keyboard​


Always wanted to give it a try, seing that it has Omron Romer-G switches and it's obviously wireless, so it'll be interesting to see how the latency is or rather if there's a noticable delay.
Saw a deal on Amazon, being discounted to 90€ from 150€ and decided to take the plunge.
 
A 1:200 scale model of this. N661US, the very first 747-400 to enter commercial revenue service with Northwest Airlines in February 1989. It currently sits at the Delta Flight Museum in Atlanta.

Bought all this crap at a flea market a couple weeks ago:

(Ignore the 1/24 Z, along with the boxes it is sitting on as those were a friend's purchases)




And these 3 PS4 games on PSN in the past few weeks as well:

Needed new sneakers and I hate the flashy look of most of them. Enter the Puma Tazon 6. I like the glossy finish on the pattern while the shoe itself is matte. Reminds me of what some race car liveries do. Also Puma is a major sponsor for Ferrari F1 so I'm supporting my team.
 
Bought Ford floormats and 4 subframe bushings today.

Sega Mark III; basically a Japanese Master System that is backwards compatible with earlier Sega SG-1000 games, none of which left Japan (aside from a select couple of markets)

Well, the route to 4K starts here. Forced by the Marantz 7007 giving up the ghost. Oppo UDP-203.

Not my pic. Thoughts and my images to come in the home theatre thread.

Received my Xbox Design Labs controller today. Might do another one since this turned out pretty nice.

I got a couple flies in the house. Tried to be nice and set them free, but they are too stupid to fly out an open window or door. So I picked up this handheld electric bug zapper while I was at Menards:

It fries them pretty good, and it is much more fun than a regular fly swatter. :lol:
