I am VERY interested in this exact setup! We currently have a high dollar traditional memory foam over box springs mattres. Both my wife and I are having either hip (her) and lower back (me) pains lately. I am not convinced that an entire memory foam mattress setup is the solution though...?
Do keep me posted buddy! PM me.

Some plain T-shirts. This is exactly the kind of purchase that I make sure is Made in America. These are from American Giant. I have their hoodie and it's unbelievable quality, so I figured I'd try their shirts.

In that note... If anyone is looking for arguably the best hoodie made, check these guys out. I love the fit of their hoodies because they're fitted and not all loose and baggy.

Depends on one's sizing but their hoody is solid. Well constructed and worth every penny. I'm between sizes and went with the L but don't find it too loose or baggy. Not fitted either but that's just me.

I switched to an organic latex foam mattress (about $2K) five years ago, and it's been a great experience. Like sleeping on a cloud.

It's not quite that time to check my ytd spending on Amazon but my curiosity got the better of me. With COVID this past year I know my spending online was up, so I compared Jan-Oct 2019 and Jan-Oct 2020.

2019: $2835.04 for 61 purchase

2020: $5510.46 for 137 purchases


The results were not unexpected. More than double the amount of purchases, but less than double the amount spent. Makes sense since I purchased a lot of smaller items on Amazon this year than before, when it was easier to just drive to the store for small items.

I think I am about average to above-average for an upper-middle class family living in the suburbs. Anyone else got some crazy numbers this year?

PS:
If you are not familiar, you can generate a CSV file through the Amazon Business Analytics page. I'm not sure how to do that with a consumer account, but I'm sure there has to be a way from the "Your Orders" page. Open it up with excel and just sum the "Order Net Total" column.

I bought a 1/18 scale model of my BMW F31 Touring. I was contemplating sanding it and painting it mineral gray to match my actual car but honestly not all my model cars are the same color as my real ones and I couldn't match the interior.

Ready for winter...well, not ready, just ready.

Quick test fit on these, just came in today. ESA SR08's in dark bronze with Toyo snows, should do.

Car's slightly jacked up, so no need to discuss wheel gap here...this was just a quick fit to make sure they clear the brakes...and yes, the garage is dirty.

Nice! FYI you don't need to sand the paint off. Just use some Kwik Strip and it will fall off. Follow up with a soft wire brush to get into the creases. Then you can sand working your way up to 0000 steel wool for a smooth finish.

Got this to match my old F80, haven't found an M3 CS model yet though.

Nice!! Where are you sailing? Raced a trimaran on lakes in the past and had a blast with little Hobies. Had I not met my wife, I’m fairly certain I’d be living on a cat right now...

Had our Queen size mattress about 11 years now, it's 10'' depth and one of those in between soft and medium with a foam memory topping.
Very comfy and now lying in the middle close to partner to even out the wear rate!
