Gray seals, apparently inspired by shark week reruns, are now serving up "corkscrew" specials on the seal menu. 🍴🔪 But don't worry, you can't read the details without enabling #JavaScript and cookies—because who needs security when there's a seal buffet to discuss? 🙄

@John The #corkscrew is a perfect #corncob holder.

Pt. 3 — Smoke, style, and some surprises 💨
Blue wide-body 190E throwing angle, Drift Cave’s yellow C5 hunting down a checker-liveried ute, and the iconic Falken teal Mustang doing Falken things.
Caught a wild moment too: an Ioniq 5 N camera car chasing a black coupe—the smoke is all from the lead drift car, not the SUV.
Wrapped the session with tandems from @justinpawlak13 × @forrestwang808, plus a mix of E46s, Zs, and a purple ENEOS S-chassis lighting up the hill.

Sometimes you get lucky. I was searching eBay for something else. I've previously searched for a Le Creuset upper-end leverpull, the heavy, durable types like this, so it suggested new listings.

I've avoided replacing one like this because it is typically $100+, used. I'm not even sure they make them any more. And durable is relative considering the price.

Suddenly, this shows up at $50. New. Sealed box. Sold!

OK, so Tuesday had a small thrill. 🍷
I'm shallow.
