Seems like screen protectors are not easy to find in BB/CC anymore. I remembered when PDA was THE thing and accessories are easy to find. Now, they're relegated to a bottom corner of an mp3 accessories shelf.
BTW, I have no idea whether it's useful or not... but the label said it contains no adhesive, so it doesn't hurt to try.

I got it at Performance, and went with the Kodiak - Light. They also have the Kodiak, and Kodiam Therma Fleece if you want to be "really" warm

My old dial caliper finally crapped out on me so I ordered a cheap digital caliper this morning. I also ordered a bench buffer for polishing parts and components (my wife's jewlry too). I ordered them through Harbor Freight......their tools are dirt cheap, but decent.

I just got home with my new pair of Pearl Izumi Sugar Shorts. 
I hate the lighting in dressing rooms. So depressing to strip and have my mother's thighs staring back at me.

Hmmm, i got some PI arm warmers, a small patch kit (seeing how my recent string of flats has mostly depleted my current patch kit), and an Under Armor baselayer shirt all from REI... I suppose i should become an REI member now...

Just picked up a pair of rudy project sunglasses with rx from the optometrist. Now my car-driving friends won't recognize me when I block their lane and slowpoke up the hill.

Got the matte black Kalyos. ImpactX photochromic grey (non-polar) lense and a polar grey lense. Actually, I asked for a polar brown, but they mis-ordered.

Ill be curious as to how you llike them. Im kinda a sunglass **0** and Ive been eying these for a while now. I have a pair of Specialized Chicane's, they are alright I guess, but not worth the $140 purchase price.
