Sweet! Don't forget to take a pic after it's installed. Haha

For sure! I'm guessing I'll have it by the weekend.

Wife and I cruised Bear Creek Rd. today. Nice day for a drive, just very very windy!

@overlookedx I tried that Refuge Brewing Grapefruit IPA yesterday. Not bad but not worth $3/16oz can, imo.

Damn. Give it to me then. I only have one can left and I can't find it anywhere.

I'll trade you my Grapefruit Sculpin IPA for it cause I don't really like that one as much.

Clipdat · 06-12-2017, 03:07 PM

I found it at the BevMo in Orinda! They had a bunch.

I drank three cans last night (maybe I thought it would get better if I had more? It didn't..)

Speaking of Sculpin, try the new "Unfiltered Sculpin" they just released, it's excellent.

Damn, once again. Harsh review. Well I like it and I'm going to BevMo to buy more. Thank you for the info.

No problem. We should grab a beer sometime at Peet's in Danville, they always have a solid selection. Haven't been out there for a long time.

For sure, I haven't been there in a long time either.

Also, I think you mean Pete's haha, unless you want to grab coffee at Peet's too. It is just down the street...

Clipdat · 06-12-2017, 04:26 PM

Oh whoops, hah, yeah I meant Pete's.

We could get coffee instead though if we're gonna be driving after! Although I usually go to the Starbucks out there because they have a Clover machine!

Just noticed while I was on my lunch time walk... Tesla model S's have the same size rotors front and back (maybe even larger in the back?)... DAT WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION YO!

Also, two rear calipers, which I'm guessing is just the parking brake.

The more you know lol

I had a Boulevard Show Me Sour today and have to say I was let down. I did have high expectations as I like Boulevard beers in general, I like sours, and I like things that are barrel aged but this was just kind of boring. At least it was only $4 on tap.

On the opposite end of the spectrum I have been incredibly impressed with Dionysus Brewing in Bakersfield. Great flavor and variety for a small brewery that's just over a year old. I just wish it hadn't taken me a week and half of being here before I found it.

I forgot how far back the drain plug is! I lifted the car to the point only the driver side tires were touching the ground, and I barely managed to squeeze under the car. I had to take the drain plug out by feel still! lol.

And I think the ECU calibrated itself from 93 octane to close to 101 octane since there was plenty of kick/response when I went around the block.

Clipdat · 06-14-2017, 01:36 AM

What tune are you running? I was under the impression that the stock tune can't "calibrate" higher than the fuel it was intended for: 93 octane.
