I went to Goodwill with my granddaughters this morning and scored a near new Moose Racing XCR jacket for $13. Considering it listed for $249 new, I think I did okay.

Every once in a while goodwill has screaming deals.... few weeks ago i scored an epic golf deal, a set 5-AW (7 clubs) Epon japanese forged golf irons, from the Infamous Endo Foundry (they have forged the likes of Srixon, Mizuno, Titelist, Callaway, Nike, etc) brand new these would be sold as club heads only, at $350 a head, then add in your premium shafts and grips on top of that for each club, so, on average, about $420-450 a club depending on how you spec them out...

Good deal. I was looking at an upper end armored riding suit for twenty bucks, but it was 4XL. I don't think I could have made that fit.

A couple of new flannel shirts and an Ugly Christmas sweater from Costco. Working on tossing out my old worn out 'work' clothes that Mrs.C is tired of looking at and I've never owned an Ugly Christmas sweater.

My old boss had a 36 foot sailboat in San Diego. He told me that boat is actually an acronym for Break Out Another Thousand

Prong Test

Tested the Prong.


pulled up some weedy saplings and a native ginger clump, easy.


I've snapped spade and mattock handles attempting the same task.



Very happy with it, would recommend if you have any land to maintain.

Finally bit the bullet and bought a new fob for my scanner. Cost as much as a nice pit bike. (Dammit) But "easy financing" and deductible business expense, right?
Companion part to this setup and replaces one that's a giant "soap on a rope" corded thing.

Four new Bridgestone tires for the eff one fiddy and an 8x10 'garage in a box' for the lawn tools. Maybe shove some of the bikes I'm not too attached to in there while I'm at it.
