    Darn. I’ll look around, thank you!

Not as bad but they still get in the way lol. But if they work for you, more power to you!

    Hmm. I rarely have a drink in the car, usually it's a cup of coffee. the CC is automatic, so I set it and forget it. It doesn't bother me at all. YMMV.

    Any updates? I would love to get one of these cup holders. I would love to try and make my own, but am pretty sure it would be 10+ attempts before I got something usable.

    I’m sorry, have not done anything on it, been real busy at the job, at the end of the day, I am just spent, seems to be getting worst as I age more. Spent the whole day snoozing yesterday, planning on heading in to work some more today, my other day off...

    Thanks Jim. When I get my act together, I will be getting a bunch made for everyone on the list... you are one of them, you guys will be the testers. My own little private army...
    Harpoon Brewery, what a great brewery! Have not been to the one in Boston, but the one up in Vermont. Was up there with friends and family. Their beer garden is just the perfect place to hang out and savor some brews. They gave me that glass, need to order some more, so far, there was only a couple of their brews that I don’t care much for, but wow man! The rest are all good! Just not good for my problem with gout

    There's also this style. They popup from time to time. This one was a part-yard rescue!

    Snotty, I've been to both of them. The Boston one is big and was done over a few years ago. I've got two of their 2oz sample glasses.
    Have you had their Leviathan IPA? Very hoppy and 10%.

    Y'all need to stop drinking gallon-sized things in your e39s. There's a reason why Frisbee-sized cup holders weren't designed into them.

    The Leviathan! Yep, have had a whole bunch of those! My local grocery gets those and the Ghost King, and a few others, but when Ghost King are available, I grab 'em, been a while since I got those.

    Years and years ago, I used to fly RC planes and helis at a field that belonged to Old Dominion Brewery, out here in Ashburn, VA. I lived 4 miles away, the brewery was right next to the field and they would have their beer festival every July out on the field, the one week we couldn't fly there. I just loved it, I used to get out of work at 2pm, head to the field and fly. Wednesdays, and Thursdays were my favorite days, that was when they cooked the hops, and boy, did the whole area smell just like heaven!!! Just puts a very nice warm feeling into your soul, breathing that sweet beautiful aroma all afternoon long. We lost the field when the brewery got sold and was moved to Delaware.... So Old Dominion Beer is not made in the Dominion anymore. The field is now a massive Metadata server farm, but right where the flightline used to be, is the front door to my shooting club! Funny how time changes people and places, but gone is the smell of hops being cooked in the area, and to me, that is what changed the area the most.

    Snotty, forgot to tell you thanks for the cup holder offer, I'm gonna have to pass it up. I have a bank of switches in that location for the juice, meth, tank heater, etc. Can't relocate them.

    Ahhh, that's right, I do remember you showing all the switch gear in the past.
