More Noctua iPPC fans. Channeling the childhood dream of becoming a jet pilot, or at least a frequent flyer.

I use three of the Noctua 120mm iPPC fans in a 4U Server chassis as the fan wall.  They are awesome and highly recommend.  They've run 24x7 since Jan 2019 and still going strong.

Bought a Nvidia Tesla P40 GPU for $170. Basically a Titan Xp with more ram and no display outputs.  Should be fun to mess around with in the Unraid Server.  I wanted more ram to allow for increased transcoding sessions and perhaps run a 2-gamer one system type setup in the future.  Really just something to mess around with.

Yeah I kind of wished I had offered lower but I'm ok with it.

 

I also just sold my 3060ti to a 15 year old kid for cheap because he's been working his butt off saving funds to buy a card and someone sold him a dead card on craigslist.

Bought two new ipad 10th gens for the wife and I. 256gb models.  Ordering the Logitech keyboard/case/stand outfits for both. 

 

Yep, the darkside is consuming me.  I want my tech to all work together and with the families.  Oh well, you can only fight so long.  Ha ha ha.

I don't know if it counts as a purchase as I traded in my old and tried with less confidence cameras in favour of a better one with the credit. Recently got the Panasonic GH5 II. So I'm down to one camera now. Don't think I'll miss the Olympus because the new camera can do a little more than both of them. Bright EVF, charges through USB, and detects animals along with humans. 😄

Just bought a new TFal xxl airfryer and instapot for food prep.  Make things easier when working.  The air fryer is running right now with two seasoned chicken breasts in it.  We will find out how they are in 15 min!  Will report back.

It's also known as Tom Ford strain.  It's an indica dominant hybrid strain.  REALLY good and relaxing. I use a vaporizer for my flower, so one full 5:00 run in the vape, and I am sittin down, listening to tunes or watching tv/movies and just zen!

Zen has nothing to do with getting stoned, bro - just saying ;) Didn't know this stuff was legal in Canada. It's really bad for adolescents and brain development, hope there are some age restrictions at least.

Yes, it's restricted like alcohol is up here.  between 19 and 21 before you can purchase depending on the province.  And zen has everything to do with getting stoned.  Sit back, enjoy some tunes, or movie and some tasty food.  ZEN!
