The weight room is also not likely to have wasps, yellow jackets, flies, and other nuisances. If it were me, clearly I'd choose the weights, but then my vision and lack of coordination pretty much rule out baseball. Your circumstances could be very different, especially if your interest is more in recreation than fitness.
 
So on our way back from lunch, My mom let me drive the car from the park to the house...my 18 year old bro was terrified and the salt levels in him are high right now lol (If you know what I Mean)

I did well 😀
 
D34th - I think velcroing it would be fine.

Anyway, this old guy was tailgating me and I pointed that out and my bro is like "Cuz ur driving to slow!!"

Actually, I was at the speed limit of 40.

Second, he said I was tense...Why would I? Im getting better and driving is normal to me now. My seat was too close.

Finally, haha, I called him Kid while we were driving as a joke cause we call eachother while we game and he got salty cause he thought I said that only cause "I think im cooler cause I drive" hahahahah
 

Bug everyone you know to get a drill :)

On the same idea. I even cut a hole in the case foot

The foot looks dirty and it is, but the camera makes it worse than it is.

You can do anything with a Dremel tool. I literally cut the exhaust system off an early 90s Buick with a Dremel tool and about 20 cut off wheels. Took forever but it worked. Everyone should have one.
 
Yeah, but I'm already in hot water as it is and I'm still not asking for anything. Sorta pissing off my mom even more when I tell her there is nothing I want(Besides a new computer, but that is out of the question, I already tried that)
 
Morning. Stuck here working on a Saturday lol D:

What is everyone's preferred method to apply thermal paste? I have been doing the pea method for a while now, but I have heard that the line method is also works well. Been thinking about trying something new, or keep it the same.

I made the mistake on trying to downgrade my heatsink to a hyper 212 evo, from a NH-D15 (Size reasons) but I saw the temps go up that I wasn't comfortable with. Put back the D15, and temps went down. I'll save CM cooler for something in the future.

I ran out of my favorite paste, so I'll need to buy some new arctic silver 5, or try the MX-4.
 
DAMNIT TINY, you Jinxed us. Mom called me right now(7 AM) while going to work and saying that a battery light just came on. >.>
What now, the battery isn't giving enough voltage or some crap like that??!
 
Electrical issues man. Sell the car. You'll never get them all the way tracked down. I got rid of my GLI because of similar issues.

Is the battery new? If the car is driving and the battery light comes on, the alternator is probably not charging the battery properly. Have the alternator checked. If it works, then you have a loose ground, which is almost impossible to find and will cost MANY hours of shop time for someone to fix.

My GLI had (I believe) 2 loose grounds. I donated the car to charity and took the tax write-off as opposed to trying to find them.
