We should definitely get together and do this again. Thanks for everyone making it out. Couldn't ask for nicer weather!

Guess we have a new place to park if we do another meet there.

Maybe we should do something bimonthly? It literally is 10m from my work.

I am okay with that! Like I said, I am there enough times and it is a walk from my work practically. Raganni is also in that plaza and it's okay Indian food. We should try Mexican as well some time.

What did you order? It looked awesome.

Hey, in the essence of networking what do we all do for work?

I work for a 'solar' company who manufactures solar inverters residential, commercial, utility scale, etc. we also have a DAS.

Just thought we could list our companies and in the rare chance there is some synergy between them.

Good to see you all, and i'm glad my custom made center caps did were useful.

Count me in for some Indian or Mexican.

Occupation: I am an IT Engineer (hence the t-shirt and baggy jeans) Anyhow my company designs system-on-a-chip solutions for mobile phones [cpu/radios/etc] and other high tech stuff like that.

ps: I did dig the custom center caps, can you post your DIY soon? I need me some.

I am jealous of everyone's lack of dress code

I am an accountant for Watts Water based out of N Andover. I will bet if you go to your water heater, you will see a Watts valve

[zero2sixtyZ]

IT Sys Admin for a small hedge fund named Charlotte Russe. Did I spell it right, Bo?

I can't work somewhere with a dress code (did that in the past at a financial company in seaport district) :P glad I don't have to dress up anymore especially when this weather comes around

I work in mobile software as a technical project manager for BlackBerry (hence the plate haha). We're a remote office off of exit 45 on 93 (less than 10 min drive from that Thai place we went to)...Glad to talk smartphones with anyone

I'm eligible for an upgrade at the end of this month. My plan would be to upgrade from my galaxy S4 to a galaxy S6, probably will not get the edge. But I want to wait for the Note 5 in October as the specs are insane: 4k screen, fast processor, fancy memory, etc. I feel if I got the Note 4 I would be behind technology wise from the start(which I don't want with a 2 year upgrade timeline) even though it was released last fall. So should I wait for the note 5? Is there anything comparable on the market right now to the Note that would technology wise be between the 4 & 5? I really want the Note 5 for business reasons. Email client looks great, easy to navigate and I can actually conduct business using my phone and don't have to be tied to a lap top. Opening up spreadsheets etc. on my S4 sucks.

I have an S4 and an iPhone5, but I've switched over to using my BlackBerry again full time because I had 3 extra batteries for my S4 and the thing would not last more than 6 hours. The iPhone lasts a bit longer but not much. Honestly a phone can be beast and have every bell and whistle in the world but it is useless to me if it is dead. My BlackBerry Classic and BlackBerry Passport last me 2 days CONSTANT usage. That is more important to me than anything else honestly and all the "BlackBerry has no apps talk" is bullshit now a days because I can run all Android apps on my BB fine as long as the app doesn't require google play services, which not many do. Email and messaging is more important to me as well. BTW, try opening a spreadsheet on a BlackBerry Passport, you'll fall in love . We don't play the specs game that Samsung plays with their phones so you're probably not considering a BlackBerry because you want to be up on the latest tech, but from what you are telling me it seems like it would be a perfect fit for your "business needs". I'm not a BlackBerry sales person btw and I realize everyone has different preferences for phones so to each their own. I am not a troll at all.

Anyway, I don't know much about the new Note device that is coming out but I find it hard to fit something bigger than 5" in my pants ()...pockets lol

From the look of the battery you have on your S4 though, I would hope the battery on the new Note is beast as well .

Also, are people still signing up for 2 year plans? I haven't since they got rid of unlimited plans. I am grandfathered in so now I buy all my phones off contract and as a result I am not tied into a contract which gives me more leverage when fighting with Verizon

Crusty calipers / hubs. Brand new center caps.

[Torgus]

You need some fancy lug bolts, not that stock crap. Lose 1lb per wheel!



Nice center caps, looks totally custom.

[MetsFan]

I need to check here more often. I work in Andover and Thai Sweet Basil is 10-15 minutes away from where I work. Next time.

They are heavy. Low on my list. Those calipers need to be cleaned up asap.

I've always said that if they want the wheels, they will get the wheels. Locking bolts/nuts aren't going to save you if they really want them. Best thing you can do is, park close to walls and make sure insurance is ready for a call.

[jor2cool4u]

yeah wheel locks just slow them down...just don't leave your car in lawrence lol

[Amonra08]

True enough. I view it as a deterrent, don't want to make it ez lol but I guess a wall is good too

Interesting. I always felt the locks were good because it means it will take a bit more time and that might be enough of a discouragement for the average thief.

I do agree if someone wants your wheels they will get them regardless:






I'm always paranoid about leaving my car at the airport as it would be so easy to steal rims there, especially in the early morning 2-4am when few to no planes are arriving.

[SLOWER]

I love your wheels. When are you flying again?

[Torgus]

Monday I fly to Minnesota

I assume the best way would be to use an air chisel on lock nuts. I guess the same would work on bolts right?

[Down_Shift]

No pics from meet ?? Aww
