Everyone says that to me. But this is a perfect example of a situation where I'd be doing the exact same thing with an X3. SQUARE (not cubic) footage of cargo space is about the same as my 335i, and thus mostly-full of work stuff. I'd be putting the sink right on the seat or folding it down in an X3 just as I have here. While there are instances; rarely do I find the X3's bigger opening and TALLER cargo area all that beneficial.
Then there's the whole issue of SUVs usually not having the ability to put golf clubs across the rear of the cargo area behind the wheels, so they're actually less utilitarian for my typical usage pattern.

Great watch! How is that band? Is it easy to take on and off?
The Band is great and very elasitc, hence easy to put the wach on/off.
As an advice, you shoult try different sizes at the Apple Shop. Otherwise you will order the wrong size for sure.

Smaller ruck to compliment my current beast. It was a toss-up btwn this (Eberlestock F5/Switchblade) and a Mystery Ranch TDA. Both had a mix of features I liked and didn't like. Neither checked all the boxes but the F5 was simpler and had more flexibility. [Side note: Eberle's background is pretty impressive. ]

I also added on some non-Eberlestock G-hook straps to use for side compression.

Let me know if you have any questions about it. I'd be happy to answer. MR's 3-day assault was the runner-up. I like their main compartment zipper scheme better than the Switchblade's and I'd spring for the extra $ since it's made CONUS but the Switchblade won out because it was more subtle (didn't say "assault" on it) and had better partitioning for my use case(s). Coming from 7 years w/ a Blackhawk Hydration pack, I like multiple stash compartments.

Preordered already into March, thanks to Corona and the delay it arrived today.
Saw the insane prices at Ebays and glad to got one for a fair deal.

No, only Tiberian Dawn + add on missions and Red Alert + covert missions. Also MP and map creator. The new soundtracks are not mine, stick to the classics.
For my taste they'd increased the difficulty at the actual version, at legacy winning even on hard notch wasnt so tough.

I'm always trolling for new glasses and these checked all the boxes. I'll return them if I don't like how they look when they arrive, but that's unlikely.

Dig. Looking for new frames myself. After losing the weight, my frames are too big for my head now.

I'm not sure if you're joking, but I've lost at least 30lbs over the last year and I've noticed my hats fitting different but discounted it as the hats changing. I didn't think my head would get smaller! Lol

Not joking at all. I've lost 80 pounds. My fitted hats don't fit anymore either. The really messed up thing is that some of my boots fit differently now as well.

Something I didn't realize when I started this journey is that your body loses it's fat as a whole....as in percentage. If you lose 5%, you lose 5% everywhere. Plus side to this, it does make your package bigger as well. That in itself is enough motivation to lose weight.

Pretty sure that is just perspective Judi. Losing mass elsewhere just makes it SEEM bigger.
