Not my pic but I just dropped a bit of cash for this new lens. I love photography but really hate how much everything costs :D....:(

Yes, the Proraso Crema Liquida Dopobarba is quite reasonable stuff, but I think Truefitt & Hill's aftershave balm is better still. But Proraso is good value for money!

I haven't seen the tube of Proraso you posted, only the round-tubs (Sapone da barba con olio di eucalipto e mentolo). I quite like the dark green tubs of shaving soap, give a very fresh feeling.

No feather blades for me however! Not suitable for me, a bit too sharp.

My last purchase is below - the Garmin Edge 800. It's really cool. I got to try it out for a short while tonight before the last sunlight disappeared. :) Love it, and love the bike - huge, huge fun. :) I'm still a newbie to road-biking and got to some speeds that were quite unusual for me! :) I'm going to love getting out to the ring-road of one of the parks about 20min away and riding for as long as I can manage. :)


Its addictive. Trust Me. I have been riding about 8 months and averaged 130-150 miles a week this summer, and it was a blast. I am ridiculously jealous that you got the Garmin 800 already, Im just working towards the slightly less absurdly expensive Garmin 500.

Go find yourself a good group to ride with. At the beginning of the summer I thought a 20-25mile ride was long and averaged about 16mph. Not Fast. I started riding with a group from work two days a week, a group from the local bike shop one day a week and rode at least two more days a week by myself. Now I can average 19mph on hilly routes by myself for 20-25 miles and on a flat road can average 21 or so for the same distance. I got to the point where I was doing 40-45mile group rides and though nothing of it.

Also look into some charity rides. There are some great ones out there. I did the MIS 150 (75miles Saturday and 75miles Sunday). The charity rides are great for pushing yourself as they are fully supported should you run into trouble, and they raise money for a great cause.

Enjoy it, and quit posting here, go ride.

Hope you have as much fun with that lens as i do with mine, superb piece of glass.
Have to agree on the price, that one around here is about 800 euro... No wonder it toke me almost 1 year to make up my mind and get my beast (500mm f4 L IS USM, with delivery was 6299 euro)

Damn....that's a beast of a lens for real. I have my eye on the 70-200 f2.8 IS II USM next but I'm guessing that's going to take some time to get that one. But I guess that's what credit cards are for :D

Just received my cycling legwarmers that were supposed to arrive a week ago. Chatted with an amazon customer service rep online and he refunded my order. He said if the order arrives, I can just keep it. Well the order DID arrive, and I am keeping it! Need the legwarmers for early morning cycle-commuting.

I photoshopped out the background and my upper body. The following pic is me in cycling shorts and legwarmers. I tried covering my crotchal region with my shirt. I don't think anybody here wants to see my junk.

wtf

I get that you're excited about your tights but you couldn't find a stock image on the web somewhere?

Will do.

I got everything at once and some things were thrown in at half-price, etc. So it was worth it, and it meant I could get the 800 instead of the 500. :) Unfortunately I've injured my back somehow this morning - so that kind of puts paid to everything for a while. Hopefully it'll be good in a few days. Then I can be out on the weekend. :cool:

Ordered two new replacement subwoofer drivers for my old Klipsch Promedia 4.1.
$20 each directly from Klipsch, not bad at all!

LOL I'm actually impressed she held that with one hand. On the other hand, it is the 13" model.

How can you tell what's in her other hand? :confused:
