Lightbulb

Decided to replace my Xenon bulbs in the 7.
I've had the old school Osram Cool Blue Intense that have served me very well over stock bulbs.
Now these Phillips are according to all reputable sources, the new king of HID Xenon bulbs. We shall see.... Literally.

Didn’t take too much convincing. She likes go-fast things. I planted the seed that the n5x stock had almost more power than her old car had FBO. Plus she drives my car enough to feel the difference, and saw how easy I got it from stock to its current state. (Which is still really conservative for an n54). I had shown her a few 1ers and 2ers since she likes short stubby things, which is why she’s with me

she also knows I like wrenching on bmws too so she thought it’d be a good way to have a diet project car for us to work on together.

New cam with color night vision to replace one of my older, less capable cams. Works very well. Nice clear image in full color at night.

First time I've seen this model under $110. That's why I decided to try one. It's PoE, too. I just unplugged the older model and plugged this one in. Same mount. Piece-o'-cake.

After years of wasting money on a storage unit, we finally got a storage shed for the house (could have bought several for what we've paid in rental fees!)

Still have to paint it to match the house, but at least it's here.

Nice. My one regret about buying our shed is that we didn't go bigger. I'd love a shed twice the size of the one we have. But back then (~20 years ago), it seemed well suited.

Too big is never quite big enough when it comes to sheds or garages.

That's a very nice example!

The old man was a field geologist early in his career; your specimen reminds me of the samples he collected in the late 40s and early 50s.

I don't THINK these are considered weapons although they are projectiles.

There were on sale for about 45% off the original price so I snagged them.

Idk how I'll "syle" them with dress clothes but we'll see

I hate buying things like this online and sight unseen. Last time, I bought a Fortress Californian and decided I didn't like it shortly after the return period expired. Hoping for much better luck this time.

Never played these, obviously you like them. How do they compare to other major brands?

They are similar in feel and play to a ProV1. At half the price. And I really like the fact I can tell my ball at a glance cause they are GREEN. Not yellow. And not the matte green of Callaway. Nice to know if you are on the green and only need bring your putter.

Note they do come in other colors.
