T Fiber Specials

When T Fiber launched here, they were offering 2 Gbps service for $70/month.

Once up and running that went up to $85/month.

Just got a flyer advertising $70/month again.

Autoweek: Subaru Celebrates WRX, BRZ Milestones With Limited-Edition Models

Personally, I think the Series.Yellow was a much better SE…

New WRX GD25 and BRZ ZC15 anniversary editions honor two performance icons with exclusive styling, chassis upgrades, and production capped at just 650 cars combined.

Subaru is celebrating two of its best-known performance cars with a pair of limited-production anniversary editions, with nameplates that draw from the chassis codes of their original US-market runs.

The 2027 Subaru WRX GD25 and 2027 Subaru BRZ ZC15 mark 25 years of the WRX and 15 years of the BRZ in the United States. Production will be limited to just 350 WRX GD25s and 300 BRZ ZC15s, with reservations opening later this year.

Don’t look for more power, though; Subaru says the exclusive models benefit mainly from appearance and chassis upgrades drawn from its performance catalog.

[ … ]

The BRZ ZC15 follows a similar tack in commemorating the debut of the rear-wheel-drive coupe in 2012. Named after the first-generation BRZ’s ZC chassis code, it wears an exclusive Ceramic White paint finish paired with matte bronze wheels, red Brembo brake calipers, and bronze graphics inspired by the 2020 BRZ tS.

Like the WRX, the BRZ remains mechanically familiar. Its naturally aspirated 2.4-liter boxer engine produces 228 hp, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission with an STI short shifter. Subaru also adds a black decklid spoiler and an underhood V-brace for additional rigidity.

The cabin receives exclusive black leather upholstery with Bordeaux red inserts and a numbered ZC15 plaque.

The two anniversary editions continue Subaru’s tradition of enthusiast-focused special model, but we’re sure many fans of Subaru’s performance heritage, while thrilled with the chassis tweaks, will nonetheless be disappointed by their limited scope of upgrades.

Subaru says the BRZ ZC15 will arrive first in early 2027.

MAKTRAK isn't just good for construction…

I needed a robust way to store and transport a pair of Shure BLX wireless microphones - receivers, transmitters, power cables, wireless headsets and a pair of XLR cables.

I looked at Pelican cases but decided to try a MAKTRAK T-90065 Deep Compact Organizer, and it works perfectly for the task.

What's the consensus on Winchester Mystery House?

It's pretty fun and the toys are cool, but layout-wise it reminds me a lot of the classic Bally The Addams Family, and not just thematically.

Whenever I play I keep expecting to hear Raul Julia addressing Thing. 🤣

Manual addendums for new Gen 3 nailers

A few owner's manual addendums to the owner's manual for the new nailers included as pack-in sheets.

u/kfjcfan — 1 month ago

Yes, the new framing nailer is a construction site power tool, not a car. Still disappointed by a scratched up magazine new out of the box.

Brand new 3rd gen NR 1890DRB QRY purchased about an hour ago, first Metabo HPT tool.

Disappointed at the way they apparently feel sending a gouged up magazine is proper QC. 😥

New nailers at Lowe's

For most stores you will have to find an employee to look in receiving as they are not on the marketing floor plan diagrams yet and there are no spaces in the cages for them.

Lowe's doesn't quite understand the "Cordless Pneumatic" designation for the new framers

What's the best place to sell wheels?

I've got a brand new complete spare tire kit with foam inserts and lock down bar as well as a set of four very lightly used Subaru black tS take-off 18" wheels that I purchased to use as winter wheels but I've gone a different route.

Facebook Marketplace has resulted in no takers for any of them, and they're not priced extravagantly.

Obviously shipping would be painful, so that somewhat rules out eBay as I've never had luck with local buyers on eBay.

Any thoughts?

Not trying to sell them here because it's against the rules, just trying to find a place to sell them.

DISH wants you to watch less TV.

This should be monthly at best, not regularly. 🤦‍♂️

I don't even know what they're doing; a Linux fsck is rarely needed and doesn't take this long…

Klein "Tough Meters" kind of… aren't.

I'm not talking about whether they survive drops or water, but rather the fact that even a light wipe of a smudge off the display with a high-end automotive microfiber cloth (not a scrub, a light wipe) will scratch it.

This was even on a CL810, one of their flagship meters.

Yes, I know it's not a phone or anything like that, but you'd expect the cover over the display to be a bit more scratch-resistant on what's meant to be a rough and tumble workplace tool.

No, I'm not going to try the same move on one of my Flukes. 😁

New MODbox accessory packaging

The original MODbox accessory packaging was largely open, allowing you to touch and feel the cup holder, belt clip attachment, storage box, cable clips, etc.

Klein is replacing them with entirely sealed boxes either to reduce shoplifting losses or damage to items that would occur on the shelf at the store.

Ordered a brand new 603-4B and this is what I got

New 603-4B Wire-Bending Phillips sold and shipped by Amazon, but when I took the rubber cover off the driver tip this is what I saw.

Poor storage conditions somewhere along the way or did I get someone's used return?
