those arent bad at all but I was given the complete waxer set. That new impact is :tits:
What in the set? I already have a lot of M18 stuff. Just "needed" these for light duty work hung some gutters with it and it works great on the 2.0 battery

Broke down and bought a Blackstone griddle today. Spent a few hours seasoning it and I would say I'm only about 1/2 done.

I posted up my old stove on crangslist for $400 & it actually sold at asking... (not sure how old it is to be exact, since it was here with a cracking membrane/touch panel when we bought the house). It was a fridgidaire gallery series and served us well. If it was new when the house was built then its 18yrs old but at least 10.

Either way it's gone this Thursday and made a deal on a new Gallery Induction top for $2k plus tax CDN funds. I'll pick it up in the GoRf tomorrow. ImageImage

Thanks! The "look" of our current stove is what drove its sale and I think i will have the option to plac this quickly/easily if I ever need another one.

Same brand and spec as ol' reliable but 15+ yrs younger. I figure get out of my current stove while the getting is still there. I am kind of worried about the $900 induction top failing so I am paying for the extra 2 yr warranty for $100.

If my basement weren't already finished then gas would have been the right play. This is kind of a compromised buy in the end.

Saw one of these in the wild while home shopping. It was their daily driver. Theirs was green.

:fuckyeah: I've read a ton of great reviews on it, and since the center console is pretty deep this should work out 5/7.

I bought a phone case.

Element Case - Rev for iPhone X; was going to originally buy it at $34.99, but decided to not. Found it on clearance at Target last weekend, with a sticker for $17.48, decided I wanted it and when I scanned it, it rung up as $10.84

I've got it too and will give it 4/7.

My only complaint is that I wish it was about 5-10mm deeper. I keep my phone in there along with a FastTrack (commuter/bridge RFID transponder) and I have to situate them just right so that the armrest will close and that it won't hold the power button down on my Pixel 2 XL, causing deep reboots. If the divider that runs from front to back was shorter, or not even there, it would be 5/7 perfect for me.

Otherwise it's perfect.

I know. I was so good about keeping my one and only case from when I bought the phone.

Still have a 3 week return period so I will pretty much test drive the bitch

It looks like something that would come from the factory. A really nice piece.

This is one of my most epic failures when I was in bedazzling. HUGE missed opportunity.

Oh, interesting. I always use android auto so my phone is out and plugged in. I guess I could plug is into the console, :doe: :mindblown:

What?

Don't you need to plug into the console USB for AA to work? I tried the one on the dash and it didn't see my phone and change the Projection button on the MyLink..

I always use the one on the dash (in the "cubby" below the switches with the AUX and APO are) because we switch between my phone and wife's constantly. Plus I'm too lazy to open the center console and I'm more likely to forget my phone in there. Works fine on AA for me. :iono:

CarPlay works from the USB on the dash. I haven't even tried to use the console one yet.

Okay, I need to go try this again... It didn't connect the first time so I assumed to try another port and the console port worked.
