Hey I know jack squat about these things, didn't even know they existed til I spotted the sales ad, just parroting what I've found on the internet LOL.

Slight change of plans. Was walking back from taking my car to a service shop when I happened to walk past a metal waste skip in the yard of a small trucking company and spotted this on top, a couple phonecalls later it's home for free LOL. It's a dog and needs a thorough rebuild, the front scoop and the wheel axel's bent from being thrown on the pile and the engine's frozen solid but even if I change/repair all that I reckon I can still make a working plow out of this for less than 300 with a brand new engine. Already took it apart and the powertrain's in full working order just needs a new heart. This will go to mom once rebuilt and I'm keeping the Toro for myself as we only have a double carport to clean vs a big yard.

Auto drip coffee maker. I'm just not a Keurig guy.

I get it. I'm not a coffee snob. Coffee is nothing more than a caffeine delivery system, not a social event that needs to be discussed, at length. Same reason I drink Miller Lite. To me, it's the best of the Big Three, affordable, and is available at every store.

Bought one of these. My old one died last week. Digital meat thermometer for the grill.

Furnace filters. That time of year again.

Free float handguard and charging handle to finish an AR build, and an extra mag for my Marlin XT17.

I bought a jack today, too. A 2 ton bottle jack from Restore in Elgin, IL for $12. I also picked up five cards of five Ronson lighter flints for a buck a card. I always lose the package after I refill the striker. I figure I can at least refill the striker five times before I lose them all. They also had some K&S metal tubes and sheet for a buck a card, so I stocked up on those, too.

Not today...but much like cheesy, I bought plane fare to JAX. Hopefully after Ian, we'll be able to land.

New back tire for the Savage. $165 mounted, balanced and so on.
I put the back wheel back on this afternoon and got her off the jack.

Careful! I just put a new rear tire on my DRZ and got a little squirrelY in one on the first tight twisties, taking it easy. That 50 mile scrub-in is "no kidding".

2LZ · 10-06-2022, 12:45 AM

Bought one of these. The little tail bag I have on the DRZ is nice, but it's good for 2 beers and a baseball cap. Had one of these on my V-Strom I sold and loved it. It will hold two beers, a flannel shirt AND a baseball cap!

Went looking at Restore for a small shelving unit for Mrs. C. Didn't find one she liked but I found a top o' the line Craftsman solder gun with a whack of replacement tips for $12. As it was Senior Day Wednesday, I got another 10% off.

I've been noticing something at the different Restore shops I visit. There are now a lot of bench mounted jig saws coming available. When I was setting up my wood shop, I looked for weeks before I scored a beat up Ryobi. Took a year before I found a second one, a Dremel, for the barn. Yesterday, there were five at the Restore we were at. Two of those were top line machines. The prices have climbed, too. I don't have $50 in my two but you couldn't get out of the for less than $65 for one. There was a Dremel, same as the one I got for $25, going for $85.

I'm guessing building birdhouses with kids is going out of style.

Heated Gloves for those cold morning rides into work. I caught them on sale for $35. Nice and toasty https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...TF8&th=1&psc=1
