That WOULD be awful, though.

That would have been funny. Bodily functions - always funny.

I bought some kick-ass BBQ today. Brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, and some spicy - and I do mean, spicy - mac and cheese. Always nice to stumble onto a place that looks like it was clearly something like a Der Wiener Schnitzel or an A&W but is now what would otherwise be considered a hole in the wall BBQ joint. They rarely disappoint.

Finally ordered a new short shop stool. I've been wheeling around on my ancient HFT unit with all the bearings falling out of the casters, for years. Tired of almost turfing it all the time when I change directions.

New Illannoy drivers license. The $1 service fee to do it online is worth it not to stand in line at the DMV.

Certified copy of my scooter title for 2 bucks plus postage.

It's getting closer to the time I get serious about dialing in the suspension settings so time to get another massively pricey part domestically for what you get but cheaper than a bag of chips from China.

I wonder if they are copying Amazon who now that I gave their subscription the heave ho try to tell me it will take incredibly long to get my purchases and please subscribe again to get it early. Then when I tell them no, they end up delivering it a day after they said the subscription would get it to me. Usually China shipments are a month +/- a week or so.

I finally got some steel toes. Endurance is cushy but heavy and expensive. Pit Boss a hard and heavy. This one "flume" is lighter and flexible. I will be able to climb a ladder in these

Oh, and I bought brisket and a rack of spare ribs. Smokin' time!

Last week i invested in a new pair of Keen hikers for work, about tge only boot that doesnt exacerbate my knee pain...

Was looking on Gumtree.
craiglist/fbmarketplace etc...

For a backup generator in case of a power outage emergency.

Came across this beauty for $350 Aussie dollarydoos.

rated 6kilowatts. 3 plug outputs with a 420cc chonda engine.

Also has a legit LPG/Propane carby adapter fitted.

Tank is clean, the guy had the crank battery on trickle charge when I turned up... Electric start and pull start...oil clean probably from used on LPG.

Anyway we were looking around his man cave garage for a spare carby he thought was about but then offered me a Yammie 1 plug Generator taking up space on his work bench...I was like "sure, I'll free up some of your workspace" He was take it for free...."ok" I replied.

Anyway long story short I wanted a backup gen and he wanted more space in his shed and was not experiencing enough "emergencies" to justify keeping it...

Win/Win I suppose.

If i get the Yammie fighting fit i might recoup $150 back...

A good start to Wheelin'n'Dealing 2023.

post edit update: Yammie has sweet FA compression. Has spark and fuel pump works... Not worth sinking time or money into it...offload it as a "for parts only" I'll see if it will shift for $50.

More suspension bits for the Lexus. Damn near fully adjustable rear end, now. And almost everything all new for the front with high-performance bushings.

And a Jensen CAR710W head unit and backup camera for the PT Cruiser along with some new speakers. Had to modernize the ol girl. lol. Once the f150 is up a going again, the cruiser will either go up for sale, or I'll give it to my friend that I was gonna play financier for.

Been getting bashed by storms here so I got up early and ran to town before the feces struck the fan. Groceries, Lowes, Staples, etc. Paid just under $10.00 for an 18 pack of eggs today. Volcano Joe, our local egg guy, closed up his egg business last month after 25 years. We're all thinking about getting him a new batch of hens.....whether he likes it or not.

**cheesy** · 01-04-2023, 07:03 PM

A bottle of Lot 40 rye whiskey for my son in laws' 40th birthday.

2LZ · 01-05-2023, 01:01 AM

I chat with a small sip of Mr. Seagram's most evenings, over a game of dominoes with Mrs. 2LZ. Makes for low blood pressure.

Magician16 · 01-05-2023, 02:41 PM

Bought 2 bottles of bourbon. My favorite Elijah Craig and a big bottle of Evan Williams.

Falkon45 · 01-07-2023, 09:07 PM

A hecking huge metric tap and die kit... Because the paper instructions for my big brake adapters said I had to tap a hole bigger. Didn't have that on the freaking Internet instructions.

Harbor Freight was sold out of the meeting kit that had M14. Lowe's was a joke, but I got tin snips and two more kobalt batteries. Had to make the 45 minute drive into Savannah to go to northern tools. Thankfully, they had the kit. Sun was down by the time I got home.
