I installed a fountain in front of our house yesterday. Good times.

Obligatory CSB, since no one is saying anything in here

I don't have pics of it in front of the house, but this is the one we got, from Lowes:



Goes with the rustic theme of our house. It was on sale too,

I don't have pics yet. Finished the install at 930 last night and then a buddy came over to chill for a bit.

I know you were kidding chad. Otherwise I'd have gotten butt hurt and yelled some obscene words at you in retaliation. Makes me feel like a bigger man

and hey, I say the same thing to guys who spent close to 200k on a GTR Nismo. "You spent how much on just a Nissan? "

It's also not much of an install. I bought PVC conduit to run underground, junction boxes, electrical cable to extend the pump cord to the house, etc.

And then figured "why the fuck am I doing all this work?"

so I went back to lowes, returned all that stuff and bought a 50 foot extension cord instead

i buried the the extension cord about 6" deep into the ground, ran it through the siding at the corner of the house, and up to a plugin I have on the soffit. There's a switch inside the house that controls power to the plug in, so it's all good. If we move, I'll just dig the extension cord out.

Jeremy, yes, in fact I have. It's a wonderful car but it's a little beyond my price point. Maybe next year though!

Speaking of which... Switching between the TL and 370 is proving to be rather difficult. The clutch pedal feel is completely different. I drove the TL yesterday and I must have looked like I was learn to drive standard for the first time

Johnny, time to get back on the horse?!

Adam, I know that feel...between the spec stage 3 clutch on the tls and the oem s2000 clutch...it's night and day.

My new bike is halfway built sitting in the garage.. I have a really bad habit of not finishing projects. It's been sitting there since before I left to Florida I plan on working on it next weekend when I get back home
