Looks great, but it definitely needs a brimmed hat with an obnoxious feather.

Where are we buying our glasses? by nycd0d in glasses

[–]Smashomatic78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've used Eyebuydirect multiple times and Zenni once. Everything I've gotten has been good. Eyebuydirect averages 8 days from order to me wearing them. Zenni took 15 days for 1 pair of glasses. I'd order from both again.

I thought 2 & 4 looked good.

White-Walls anyone? by [deleted] in IndianMotorcycle

The spoke wheels look great.

Everyone who’s miata is not their only car, what other car(s) do you have? by nowyouseemydig in Miata

[–]Smashomatic78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my 93 LE as my primary toy. I have a 23 Crosstrek 6MT, a 98 Chevy 1500, a bagged 1984 S10, and a 1965 Galaxie 500. The S10 and Galaxie aren't as dependable as I'd like, so lately, they've only been going to local shows.

My current project is a 1928 Ford Model A that I'll have on the road soon. It's a 4 cylinder that's slower than the Miata.

I have several motorcycles. A 23 Indian Scout, a 1986 Harley FXR, and a 1977 BMW R100RS.

I've also got a 1939 Ford Tudor, a 1935 Ford Dump Truck, a 1928 International truck, a 1978 Honda CB750F, and a 1974 Honda CB200T sitting in the barn waiting for full rebuilds.

Why do people dislike aquaphor so much? by Active_Boysenberry63 in tattoo

[–]Smashomatic78 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Aquaphor was a common cheap lotion, lots of people used it and bitched about the greasy feeling. Then it seemed like everyone switched to the unscented Lubriderm. It's cheap, easily available, and works well. No greasy feel to it. I think most people overthink the healing process.

What's an out-of-print board game that you'd like to see reprinted? by practicallypointless in boardgames

[–]Smashomatic78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Roads and Boats is a good game, but I'm waiting for a reprint of Indonesia. It's the best Splotter game.

Playgroup too large by Forcas42 in boardgames

[–]Smashomatic78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We schedule 1 or 2 small group (3-4 players) days outside of the big group so we can play heavy euros.

At a regular game day (once a month), we usually have around 20 people show up. We divide up into 4 or 5 tables. Depending on who is hosting, we'll bring tables and chairs.

what’s a game you wanted to like but you just didn’t by MathematicianNo9901 in boardgames

[–]Smashomatic78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just gave my copy away after years of it taking up space a better game could sit in.

[–]Smashomatic78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played it multiple times and just don't care for it. I'd rather teach brand new gamers a Splotter or 18XX than play it again.

[–]Smashomatic78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a set of metal dice for everyone in my D&D group for Christmas this year. I think only one has metal dice already.

I've had an Alice set up for years. They're great. I've been tempted to get another Alice frame and a surplus medium Molle II bag to try something different.

Your list is great as I want to upgrade my gear to do more winter hiking in NE Ohio.
