I'm sooooo excited. Not pleased with the new TV format and that I can't watch xfinity due to CW not having a streaming platform but I can listen to it on Sirius xm. Loved the clash location this year too.
Valentines day = Daytona baby.
Sticking with Chastain this year. But not hopeful. Something tells me Tyler Reddick is going to be big. I hate Austin Dillon.

Love me some Chastain! Just a shame they made the wall-ride illegal after 2022 :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: Hoping we get to smash some watermelons this year though!

I'm a Kyle Busch guy, but since he hasn't had a car worth a crap in years, have been caught rooting for Ryan Blaney on occasion as well ;)

I do miss the Tony Stewart years though..

I miss the Bill Elliot Dale Jarrett Mark Martin years. Ryan Newman was my favorite for a long time. Got to see him win the 50th running. Live. That was the best trip I think I ever took.

Yep all good times there! It'll never be like those days again unfortunately. Loved me some Newman as well. Truex is one I'll miss this year too, I was at Dover for his first cup win in 2007 :face-with-tongue:

Story time. Mike and I went to the race in Phoenix gosh 7 yrs ago? Anyway we were walking down pit road pre race and the pi crew for Chase Elliot had an old ammo box on pit wall with a 3x5 card taped to it that said beer money. They were selling old lug nuts for 1$. It still has the glue on it.

must work wonders for the concentration when you're on the 'ole CPU.

Did great. Ordered 2 spools. Grey and a pretty multicolored one. Grey is for general stuff, pretty is for fun stuff. Which is the reef safe kind?
Probably neither of those. PLA is supposed to be Reef safe but it can break down in saltwater over time causing potential structural integrity so use for decorations and stuff. The Grey is probably ok (likely PLA).

PETG and ABS are less likely to break down so for structural things they're better choices.

Silks and rainbow spools can be treated so they're more of a "at your own risk" filament.

I thought petg would be the one for the reef. Thanks for the confirmation! Just want to do a couple frag holders and a mangrove clip.

Did my first download and slice the upload and run. I think I am really going to like this. I ordered a dryer last night too just in case. Also just realized that alot of the different colored ones are just different parts printed separately with different filament colors and the snapped or glued together.
