lucky for some....

I have airline credits on my tickets to Thailand that I could not use..
they have to be used with in 12 months of the booking date..
But I booked them last October so have to be used by this October..
not holding my breath on that one...
And if that's not bad enough I bought a new scoot there in Feb I think
it will be a while before I get my ass on it's seat...

Tail light assembly for the pop up camper formerly known as Chez Fromage Lite. All I really wanted was a socket, but noooooo, can’t get just the socket. Only able to get either just the lens or the whole thing.

Bastards.

About to go pick up a new project in a couple hours. An '86 Nissan D21 "Hardbody"

CSC San Gabriel 250

Yea....that didn't work out at all...

1st it was not a D21 but a 720.
2nd it was too far gone to be worth it.

TIMCO (read:bottom feeder) stick/TIG machine, couple disposable 1L Argon bottles, valve etc.

I have a very good MIG rig and am actually not too bad with it but never even held a TIG torch, however need to learn the skill in order to be able to fabricate all the custom parts needed for my next project I'm planning (Honda ST1100 naked cafe racer/powercruiser w/turbo)

I always wanted a TIG setup. I've used one a few times and was easy to learn.

TIG is easy to learn. My problem is that it has been over twenty years since I’ve had the opportunity to do it. My first major purchase next year will be an Eastwood unit.

i got an aph alpha tig a few years ago. Been useful to have, ac/dc 200a with a pedal for $700.

This is DC only with a thumb trigger. My main goal is to TIG stainless exhaust/intake stuff so didn't see the benefit of over doubling my budget for the ability to weld aluminum since I currently have no need nor desire to do so.

I just bought a Mercane Widewheel electric scooter, dual front and rear 500 watt motors, it will do about 26 mph with a range of about 20 miles in the fastest mode. Lots of fun!!!

My new mud tires came Friday (after being out of stock for a month) and I was a little overzealous and pulled the wheels off, not thinking that it was a holiday weekend and my cousin Jeremy's local tire shop wouldn't be open till Tuesday. Well the Hawk and the Scrambler are both tore apart so that meant I had nothing to ride the whole sunny weekend. :doh:

Had a stowaway chicken yesterday as I was headed to town to get my new quad tires mounted. Halfway down county rd 2 I look in the rearview and see a hen trying balance on a tire with her wings at 45mph. Now mind you this was after I had stopped and filled up the tank. She held on for a good long time too. I guess she decided to abandon ship because she wasn't in the bed when I got to the shop. 😄😅

I bought a motorcycle jack / stand, a new helmet, some boots a low pressure air gauge and since I am still hurting from the crash some body armor. I also bought an ammo box for the back rack to carry a couple of tools and nic-nacs

A Dairy Queen bacon cheeseburger and a lemon-lime Misty Misty Freeze. I’ve been jonesing for one of each for a couple weeks.
