With the k’s now approaching very close to 1200km (~11xxkm) it about time for tune \ud83d\ude42 Last time I was driving NZM018 a miss had started to develop although only light and at lower revs it’s now very heavy and almost constant.<\/p>\n

I assume it’s fouled a plug so I plan on inspecting and changing them this weekend. After installing the breather setup below, I done something to my back so I haven’t touched the car since then.<\/p>\n

My fianc\u00e9 has been on my back for a long time about my sunglasses complaining that they are passed their use-by looking very very well worn, scratched and dirty – they even have bite marks from my dog trying to eat them. I got them second hand in around 2001. I’ve been protesting saying they work just fine and when they break I’ll replace them. <\/p>\n

They are already sporting their second set of lenses after being sent off to Oakley a few years ago to have replacements sourced and fitted. So on eBay yesterday I for the first time come across a pair that would be a candidate fit to replace them. I told Jess, she was over the moon and asked me to send her the link right away to check them out – She rang back in a few minutes laughing her face off…<\/p>\n

A brand new pair of 1999 Oakley S2 Eye Jackets!! Like there could really be any replacement except for a brand new pair of the same model \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

My computer monitor at home has been having some intermittant issues with colours failing like I’m on acid, usally while mid combat in BC2 ensuring extra rage after dying. It’s a HP w2207 and been serving me well for 3+ years and have been trying to find a suitable replacement with a gloss finish screen. There isn’t much street cred for a gloss finish screen so a replacement has taken a little longer to find, mind you most people that look at it like the image it presents, I describe it as a ‘wet look’. Turns out HP made a w2408 version of this monitor, identical except does full HD & is 24″, I found one on eBay a couple of months ago but someone wanted it moar. Auction was at 150 or so, I tried to snipe it for a bit over 300 and lost. I haven’t been able to find anything else until I came across a HP 2509p, 25″, gloss finish but I think has a lower colour gamut @ 72%. It’s primarily for games, so I’m hoping I don’t notice. It’s native is 1920×1080 up from my current 1680×1050, so I’ll see how the 4890’s respond to that, I’m a little worried and have already started looking at 5870’s.<\/p>\n

Of course within just a few days of purchasing this this, there are no less than 3 w2207’s monitors for sale now… always the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
