Technical last purchase was some gas because I can't stay out of my new toy...2020 GTI. Love it so far. After I make sure its not a lemon it will be going to the tuner for some APR love!
Got that LG V60 ThinQ I've been wanting for a good bargain. It's gently used. Got my case in today, the gold flecks are super pretty in sunlight. You can't see it as well in a photo unfortunately.
I’ll always have a soft spot for VW. My seconds car was a 2012 mk6Technical last purchase was some gas because I can't stay out of my new toy...2020 GTI. Love it so far. After I make sure its not a lemon it will be going to the tuner for some APR love!
Gti manual. Really really fun car. AND Practical! So fun to take the car on mountain roads and you can really push the car with the xds electronic differential. But very comfortable.

They do limited runs, so check their "garage in-stock" section for what they have.
Just got this beauty. I have been debating it all day, and finally caved in.
Have you seen the 2021 Tiguan? It looks amazing, I might go back from my X1

It's an Apple kind of day....
Picked up my pre-order 12 Pro Max from my mobile carrier, and on the way home went to the early Black Friday sale at a local electronics retailer for the AirPods Pro. My original generation AirPods were only getting 15 minutes battery life, so it was time for an upgrade.

Was going to use my 12 Mini naked, but I work in light fabrication using aluminium, so went in for a leather MagSafe case and Belkin screen protector.
A new Kinesis keyboard, plus the tilt supports and Mac-specific replacement keys.
Should arrive sometime next week.

I think it would take my brain years to get used to something like that. But that’s because my brain is faulty!
I'd return it, it's already broken
I was concerned about this also. My approach was to purchase a Perixx ergonomic keyboard, as a low-cost ($36 USD) way to try out the concept. It did, in fact, take some adjustment; but having my wrists in a more neutral position is definitely worth it. Based on that experience, I decided to go to full-on split mode, so as not to be locked in to a fixed angle or amount of separation.
The Kinesis also takes up less room, due to the fact that it lacks a dedicated numeric keypad. This allows having the mouse closer to the centerline, which I expect to be a significant improvement.
Plus, it lights up!
It looks cool but I’m doing mostly numbers work so would always need a numerical keyboard.I was concerned about this also.

There's always the dedicated numeric keyboard.
I’m sure I’d not. I’m not a great typist. Being dyslexic I’ve never learned to touch type.
It's better than the melted keyboards Microsoft used to sell in the '90sI'd return it, it's already broken
I wouldn't go with APR. They did away with their stage 2 tune.Technical last purchase was some gas because I can't stay out of my new toy...2020 GTI. Love it so far. After I make sure its not a lemon it will be going to the tuner for some APR love!
4 budget tyres for Mrs AFB car. Apparently cracked tyres and a nail don't improve grip. Who knew!
