Nope. It is factory stock and plenty quick for me.

Yeah it fits in the trunk floor storage space. What it doesn't show is it comes with 12 attachments so can be used on everything from a car tyre to a basketball to a lake floaty to a sledding tube. The sledding tube was why i bought it, we have a MASSIVE one that hogs the entire trunk so with this puppy i can squish it down and inflate it on location in 5 minutes.

Picked up a new office chair for my WFH setup. More comfortable and much better built than my old Humanscale chair.

Didn't even install my Bower and Wilkins M1 speakers before I returned them and upgraded to Martinlogan Motion series - 8i center, 4i fronts, 2i rears - and also returned the B&W sub for an SVS SB-1000. Wondering if I'll want to upgrade the SVS to something more powerful or not. It's my first 5.1.2, trying to do it justice but also probably won't appreciate anything truly high end yet...

I had to literally wipe the splattered brains of a relative off of their personal effects after a fatal accident because they were wearing an inadequate helmet. Trust me, I don't wish that task on ANYBODY! Even my bicycle helmet is certified by Snell, and I am so perturbed by upstatedoc's indifference to safety that I will gladly pay for a proper helmet just so that his family doesn't have to go through what I did almost 30 years ago.

On a related note, I bought a wooded lot on a motorboat lake down south last year. Every public boat launch around the lake has "Kids Don't Float" life jacket loaner stations, funded/maintained by the regional electric monopoly, the lake association, and several area churches. I joined the lake association just to support this program...and I don't even have kids or own a boat.....

I just got my vacation assigned for the year and my attempt to "buddy bid" with our best friends worked out (which is a small miracle).

So, the four of us are headed to the Maldives in September to do a week of diving aboard the Emperor Serenity Livaboard dive boat-- we got the last two rooms. The "how to get there" is a little fuzzy yet as we figure we'll let covid (God, I hope) wind down and get serious about travel plans in August.

Right now, best guess is Denver to San Fran to Singapore on UA, then Singapore to Male on Singapore Air. A few days in overwater bungalows to "acclimate", then a week on the boat, and then mosey back towards the States.

The other option is to go from Denver to Frankfurt on UA, then Frankfurt to Male on Lufthansa. But, that would put me right next to the Sinn showroom, and I'm pretty sure my wife is going to avoid that at all costs.

We have matching vacation in February as well, but no stakes in the ground as yet. Thinking a wine/food tour of Chile at the moment.....

(Sigh). Wish I was young enough to think I wouldn't run that off the first sharp corner.

I know what you mean. My age is catching up to me. But was extremely surprised my lower back wasn't bothering me on the 44 mile ride back home from the dealership. I guess I'll state the cliche about youth is a state of mind. At least I'm sticking with it as I'm 51, still riding these Medieval torture machines and doing track days.

I have a pair of these coming in another month or so. I have been an audiophile as long as I can remember. When I auditioned this Magico A5, I felt they were made for me. Can't wait to work through my entire library after they arrive.

I am happy to report that they are much easier to remove than I expected. And they are huge and keeps drinks cold for a long time without watering them down!
Super impressed and wish I had them much sooner...

After doing down a Youtube dashcam video rabbit whole I got scared into picking up 2 of these, one for the truck and one for the cayenne.
