Stupid rain. New Teku glass in the mail. Sierra Nevada/3Floyds beer camp "Chico King". yum.

I'm not the only one seeing a happy penis, right?

Nice collection! Passionfruit sour ale seems quite new too.
It's quite tart and delicious on hot days.

Got a vali+modi combo in the mail today.  Unfortunately I can't test it till Monday once my q701 shows up :(.  I don't even own a 1/4" adapter  :-[.  First step up since I bought my xonar dx+m50's years ago.

Also got a uni-ball KuruToga and jetstream 4&1.  I'm liking them both a lot but honestly I haven't used anything other than what comes in like 10 packs or those papermate mechanical pencils (which I used to think were awesome but expensive).

Yep, I know :D.  Though maybe I should buy an adapater just incase.  I'm sure they cant be that expensive.

Glad to hear!I really like how sleek and simplistic they look.  Though  I'm a little worried about getting the vali over a magni or o2 but the combo was only $160 shipped so I couldn't pass it up.  Hopefully it all works well together, otherwise I'll have to try and trade it.

I read earlier that Hoffman was getting someone else's order mixed with his to save on shipping.
Maybe one of those is the other guy's. But I really wouldn't be surprised if he got two.  :p

I kind of want the Valentine's set now just to match.

And I forgot to add, the case is painted with Montana Gold in Cherry Blossom.  The case came to me in really rough shape and I tried fixing it the best I could, hence why I didn't show many pics of it.

You went with the pink stems then - looks sweet :)

Yes, I am interested what you think of the pink stems Nubs.  I tried browns with Sprit's 68g springs.  It is pretty impossible to feel the bump, but the key fell away pretty nicely once you hit the bump.  It felt a little bit like light blacks with a hollow bottom (if that makes any sense).  I am currently building clears with 62g.  I need to find a way to get some pinks.  Maybe pinks with 65g?  :)

I'm thinking it will probably end up being 62g springs with it...and I hope I don't ruin a bunch of the tops trying to pop them off.  The ABO studio tops are a bit more brittle.  You can feel the bump right now, but it's not the best.  I'm typing this response on them and they feel almost a little crunchy if you hit them at the wrong angle.  I think the tactile legs may not be long enough or it could just be that they're so new and the legs not being lubed isn't helping.  I'm hoping some lube on the legs and a lighter spring makes me really like them. 

They could also just need some breaking in.  I seem to remember my Das Keyboard with Browns had a little bit of that crunchy feel when I first started using it.  I'm sure one they're broken in a little or lubed up, they'll be a lot better.  As it is now, I'm typing on them harder than I would on my Ghost Blacks board because of how crunchy they are.

So I'll make some changes in the "tuning" and play around with it a little, then do a review with my verdict.

Great, thanks for the detail.  When I got my browns I also felt like they were a bit crunchy to start with.  They are buttery now though...  Can you link or PM me where you got the stems?

It seems to be rigid enough.  It can just be difficult to remove some of the switch tops with it, but it does seem to provide enough support.
