SEMA 2024

[Setec Astronomy]

probably last year's haircut. this year's could have ceramic. you'll have to tune in to find out.

I guess I was thinking of Mort from Bazooka Joe, but Nick's hair looks nothing like that. It looks like some cartoon character to me but I can't place it.

 

[DFB]

Interesting design I guess…but so was the UDOS.

It took over 50yrs, but that polisher took a look at the Apollo LEM and said “hold my beer”lol.

 

[Setec Astronomy]

So Dr. Beasley's has a new product that will be introduced tomorrow (Day 1 of the SEMA show), it's a small bottle with a sprayer, I guess we'll see what that is.


Mike Phillips said he will be showcasing "the Dr. Beasley's NSP Primers and our new product". I'm not sure how to parse that, I know in passing a couple months ago Mike said he was using an un-released NSP on something, so I'm not sure if there is also going to be a new NSP.

The past 2 years we went we stayed at the Trump Hotel (no casino, no smoking and a good restaurant made it our choice, not political reasons).

Wonder what that will be like Tuesday?

I’ve stayed at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas as well. It’s nice but could use a casino.

He didn't do too well in the casino business here in NJ.

 

[MisterSnoop]

But does anyone really want to go to Atlantic City anymore?

The Trump Plaza hosted WrestleMania 4 & 5. That alone makes it go down in history as a monumental success…

Macho Man Randy Savage & Hulk Hogan both won the Heavyweight Championship of the World at the Trump Plaza. That’s a pretty big friggin deal brother. Lol.

Btw I stayed at the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas back in 2009, it had bearly opened the year prior.

And it wasn’t exactly by choice… I had originally booked the room at the Luxor, but my gf got on Expedia or one of those websites that give you these “great deals” on rooms except you don’t know what hotel it is until you commit to book for the listed price and star rating of the hotel.

So she was on the computer and got up all excited telling me “we’re staying at TRUMP”!! It was hilarious actually. Lol.

And as soon as she said that I killed her buzz by saying “the Trump?! They don’t even have casino there! And it’s off the strip!”

All that to save a measly $40 bucks! Lol.
Worst part is we actually spent like 80% of our weekend at the Luxor! Lol. We went to dinner twice, breakfast once at the Buffet, and went to see Chris Angel show, all at the Luxor. Smh.

Unless it uses Dewalt batteries I woulda went with a different color.

[Setec Astronomy]

Well, Dr. Beasley's new product is Gloss Builder, which is something you apply after you polish but before you ceramic coat, and it's supposed to improve the coating adhesion, and also increase the gloss. They say for best results use a Dr. B's NSP primer polish...which I thought the purpose of was to...improve the coating adhesion, so this Gloss Builder just seems like an unnecessary extra step. I will wait for Mike Phillips to explain.
