It is!

I'm sure i'll get less worried about it the more i ware it.

Hmm it's interesting you say about being worried about stretching it - I never really thought about that... Other than that would you recommend for daily usage? Can the strap be adjusted for small wrists.

Sorry for all the questions!

Scratching* sorry ah.

The strap goes fairly small, i've got pretty small wrists and its fine.

Yeah its easy to read, its not massively expensive. So yeah, i wear mine every day unless i'm going to my workshop in the evening.

My wife purchased this for my birthday. I love my wife. This device is called Auto Tamp. It is a lever style tamper that is calibrated at 35 foot lbs. This compresses my beans flat and even, which gives me a nice strong coffee drink. Apparently I live about 30 minutes South of where this is made. My wife called Todd up and asked to drive up and purchase one for me. Todd adjusted this tamper to my port a filter and calibrated it to give the standard 35 foot lbs. Me like.

Thank you, they are the "Rawlins". I found them at my local Nordstrom Rack (I know, StyleForum people would crucify me). They are AE "seconds" with a very small blemish in the leather that is anything but noticeable. MSRP $335, paid $89.90! Totally worth it in my eyes.

That's pretty cool! I've never seen one of those before. Who makes it?

A guy named Todd invented this and is selling them through his web site. I just happen to live close by.

Thanks, here's after installation. I'll probably put the stocks up on Craig's this weekend.

That looks absolutely fantastic! I approve!!!

I traded in the Camry and got this and drove it off the showroom floor. 2013 Chevy Malibu LT. The Camry was burning a lot of oil and could not figure out where it was going. Took it to the dealer 3 times and nothing. No leaks, No smoke from the exhaust, No oil in the radiator, nothing. It only had 157,000 miles on it. I do not think Toyota is making a quality car anymore.

Looks nice enough, but after owning multipiece wheels, I doubt I will go back to monoblocks, they just look cheap. Just my opinion....

You did in fact downgrade. Unless you are burning quarts a day I don't see why you'd sell a car simply because it was burning oil. But hey good for you! Enjoy!

That's a downgrade for sure and I'm appalled by the Malibu. But as long as you think it's better than your Camry, good for you! Not saying Toyota hasn't got its fair share of quality control problems they're made in the USA, but in general you can't go wrong with a Camry.

Further along in the kitchen renovations a new sink:

A Barazza Level 1 3/4, as well as the newly installed bench tops (laminate as my Wife didn't want stone ) The cupboards are recently painted in pure white laminate paint and new handles, brushed stainless steel.

Next is the floors, it will be a dark grey slate, then the walls and trim which will be close to a white, walls in flat and trim in semi-gloss.

Can't wait to finish.

I do not understand why people keep saying they do not like the Malibu or I am appalled by the Malibu. Every review I have read has been positive. Have you driven a Malibu? It is a very plush car compared to the Camry. The suspension is from a Cadillac and the engine has been re-engineered to run super quiet. The ride is quiet and the suspension makes the pot holes disappear. Please tell me why you are appalled by the Malibu?

I don't agree with this statement one bit. The current GM offerings are very, very nice cars compared to the previous generations. In fact, the Generation 3 ECOtec engines are world class. There aren't many 4 cylinders today that can touch them in terms of refinement, durability and power. There are many 200-300k mile ECOtec's that don't burn any oil. These engines are direct injection, with variable valve timing, and a timing chain (longer lasting than timing belts). A complete timing set replacement for an ECOtec is close to $500.00. Timing chains cost more for OEM's to use on engines, that's why some cheap out and go with belts instead, which require the owner to replace every 100k. By the way, I'm not saying the Camry or other competitors are using belts today as I haven't investigated that.

I had one of these for my iPhone, but needed a new armband for my GS4. With the charging back panel on my phone, it's a REALLY tight fit. Still, fits the arm nicely.

And to go along with it, some new running shoes. We'll see if they are gimmicky or not.
