01-14-2013, 04:08 PM #4I would have to say gambling and alcohol are pretty fun lol. But seriously I spend a lot of my free time at Starbucks. If I had more free time I would probably have a number of other projects done, such as fixing my sailboat up again, or maybe build myself a nice Telecaster. Or work on making a solar heater for the house, or maybe make an anaerobic digester since I enjoy alternative energy stuff

Have you seen Jiro Dreams of Sushi? As a fan of both fine and affordable sushi, the film opened my eyes as to how 2 simple rolls with the same ingredients can range from good to sublime.

Jiro dreams of sushi was awesome!
1982 300SD.. owner since 3 Nov 2012...
The internet.... The other 4 hours of the day I spend brewing my own beer, eating sushi (need to start making my own), working on everyone else's car but my own, learning to weld, wood working, and occasionally i can be bothered to throw on my acu's and actually go to work.....

01-21-2013, 03:45 PM #13Scopes are getting pretty accessible these days, price-wise. I'm using a teradyne pc based scope used at Ford dealers (not cheap but I have access). The PC part is convenient for screenshots, a great help with long distance collaboration. A friend just got a sub $300 dollar PC scope that will fit in your pants pockets.
