Not huge on hard wallets, prefer just a nice leather moneyclip style. My current is getting a little worn as of lately, debating this one. https://andar.com/products/the-apoll...hoCsmgQAvD_BwE

SmartMouth mouthwash helps a lot more than anything else I have tried... also coffee really takes the taste/smell away from my experience.

I do hate the taste when I smoke at night and wake up in the AM, even with brushing and whatnot. Morning cigars are where it is at for me lately. A nice Connecticut with a coffee is hard to beat.

As for wallets - I have been carrying the same Louis Vuitton bifold for about 13 years now. Still going strong and I still really like it, don't see myself changing anytime.

Since my X3 doesn't have wireless charging, this is the next best thing. Apple CarPlay consumes a lot of battery...this helps! Anker Magnetic Charger for the curious ones...

You'd likely be happier with a 12v option, it will be lighter and smaller than even that.

Another thing to add to my list of things I didn't know I needed!

We've been in our current house for 9 years and have Schlage keyless locks on the exterior door. We have a friend of our daughter watching the house and the pets this weekend and I set her up a code for the door.

My wife and I were talking, the house keeper has her own code, over the last 9 years she's likely had 20 people use her code. Our dog walker in the last 5 years has had about 10 people walk the dog using her code, The basement door, the oil company and the AC guy have codes, Who knows how many different people they've used (although I turn their access off unless I know they're coming), the generator guy has a code so he can get to the breaker panels

And how many of my kids' friends have seen tham enter their codes?

I reset everyone's code to new numbers this week. It's surprised us how many people had access to the house

Did the same to the garage entrance. You are right it’s scary.

That's crazy and honestly great at the same time that you have that many people that you can trust. The girlfriend has a code/opener for my house, the kids have a code and my best friend has one.

My reference to changing my luggage combination was a Mel Brooks joke from Space Balls.

I'm still in the adjustment phase since it's 1 bulk card compartment vs the 4 card slots I had on my Tumi. I definitely need to order the cards better, though. I've only had it for a week and was TDY for part if that so my card needs were different.

I'm still debating if I'll ditch the slim coin tray on the Aviator. I don't carry change and don't want a key rattling around it it. Plus, removing it will make the wallet slimmer and more on par w/ my Tumi.

How many? Ridge can hold up to 12. Aviator can hold up to 20 but be adjusted for less.

Ridge has some cool finish options and a lower cost.

Also....this guy.

Multi-machine/multi OS, cut/paste/drag and drop files from one machine to another, app specific functions and it whispers soft words of encouragement ever so gently in my ear.....oh yeah, it moves the cursor thingy on the screen thingy too.

Just bought one of these for my boss and charged it on my desk.......gotta say I liked it. I have had the Performance MX Darkfield for years and took mine with me from my last job. This is the newer version of it and it fits my hand as well as my old one did.

Wondering if my soda spilled on this old one will finally kill it after 6+ years of faithful service.............. =)

^I'd be all over one of those if it had more side buttons. I've been using an MMO mouse (I don't play MMOs lol) simply because I programmed the 12 buttons on the side to do things like Copy, Paste, Refresh, Home, Fwd/ Back, File Manager, etc, etc. I got so used to using it that it would be hell to go back to a standard mouse.

Awesome! Glad to hear an opinion on it. It will be here Monday, kinda stoked. Just got back to the office after installing the optima in the middle of a baking parking lot. Fun story: They sold me the wrong optima battery (I found out after the install) removed new battery, he sold me another wrong battery inside the store, I caught it before I took it back outside this time, then he tells me it will be tomorrow before he can get one to me. All while my car is in the parking lot, sans battery and I'm supposed to be at work. While he is trying to find a battery on the computer, I found what I needed on the shelf. Two hours later.....finally back at work. I need something good to look forward to, I hope this damn mouse is as nice as it sounds.

I'm currently using dual MS Arc's. They're awkward at first, but I love mine. Ergonomics are great, but the scroll pad is terrible. I managed to actually rub the UHMW pad completely to nothing on my last one. Perhaps check out your pad, yours could be gone too!
