My Apex's are 56.1mm and fit tight. Yours are 73.1mm, so hot dog down the hallway. I don't find them necessary but they are cheap and don't hurt anything if you want to run them.

Im assuming I need to get 56.1 to 73.1 hub rings.

You’re correct, they are cheap. Might as well just run them just to be on the safe side. Another thing learned today.

Have you checked out this guys youtube channel? He does a lot of dry age experimentation.

The ones (Steak Locker 150sl) I was looking at have humidity control and a UV-C sterilization lights. I don't really care about all the APP features though so it is probably going to be a pass.

On the cheaper end they have specialized vacuum-seal aging bags called "UMAi Dry Bags" that do it too. They are supposed to let air/moisture out but not in without killing your fridge.... No way I'm trusting it though. There is also the issue of me wanting to cash in on it with huge primal cuts of cow to make the investment worth it! I'm not sure I have it in me make some cured salamis/pepperoni though. Soppressata looks like a major pain.

No Guga- I already bought in to the whole Sous Vide steaks thing cause of him. Lately I've been watching PitmasterX. They are a foreign and as such they also bring some unique and new things to the table the regular 'murican bbq youtuber's aren't. Smoked shrimp?

They help when sapping wheels. Gotta be careful installing without or it could be slightly off center.
I use plastic for winter tires so al/fe issues when salt is added doesn't cause headaches. Aluminum on race wheels which get too hot for plastic.

I ended up going with plastic ones for the meantime. Once I get into tracking later this year or the summer arrives, I'll switch to Aluminum ones.

Called into work to day for the first time. 6" snow and still going. Drove around a bit until I almost snapped off my splitter from being a plow.

One thing we have in Idaho is beef. Lots of places dry age, including the Albertsons market. First is their locker. If I want to get real fancy I can take a drive to Sweet ID where they have a dry age locker lined with some fancy salt bricks.

Now you are talking. Enough with the raw fish stuff!

We have a lot of local meat processors in the area, I am surprised more meat markets don't dry age, there is one that I know of in the area. That's awesome you can just buy it at an Albertsons'.

Looks like a before-after pic.

you need a truck!

i'm off today as well. ran to the hardware store for some dremel stuff at 8:00, the roads were mostly unplowed, with a hefty dose of people creeping through it at 5-10mph, like they've never seen snow before.

nearing somewhere close to 12-14" here. still coming down, blowing a lot, so hard to tell how much we got exactly. there was a 18" drift in my driveway.

i blew the first 8" or so about 9:00 this morning. lol, my neighbor also likes doing my yard, he gave up halfway through the driveway, figured there's more to come i guess.

snow day speaker build!

simple goodwill boxes, half-convinced that they were hand-built, details and cut lines don't align with any corporate builds i'm familiar with. and there were resistors on the tweeters instead of the industry-standard capacitor that any company would use. the components are within a few pennies of each other.

and some leftover NIB infinity kappa components from the time i tried convincing my mom to let me upgrade her suburban's speakers...

sounds decent for what it is!
