There are two closets in the Master bedroom and I already licked the smaller one. Well, I can dream.

You'd really say some bad words if you saw the original asking price when it was first listed last summer.

A one way ticket to OH to see some family at the end of the month... driving back in a 2003 Forester that Grandma is no longer using

Wonder how hard it will be to stuff a 2015+ 2.0l DIT engine/computers in a 2.5l NA spot... nothing wrong with the current engine (only 108k miles), just dreaming of Stu-tu-tu noises and 200 extra HP at the wheels

A minty John Deere 185... came in as a customer wanted it out of the garage when he bought a new one... hadn't run in several years... needs some tlc, but the initial blast with the pressure washer is promising, and i put a fresh battery and gas in and it fired right up...**EDIT** forgot to add that i got it for a whopping $50

I couldn’t help myself.

Feb. 1971 Canadian Coleman 576 campstove. Looks ugly but only required oiling the pump cup and putting fuel in it.

New battery from Harbor Freight for my daughters UTV. $35 and some change after I used 20% Off coupon. 10AH sealed lead acid battery. Stock battery finally died after three years. I think the cold snap did it in. Got into the 30's a few night in a row.

A set of used tires for the Kia for $150. Two are goodyears and two are firestones. Very similar tread to the Kumhos that were on it. The Firestones look like they have about 60-70% left while the Goodyears are about 50-60% at their most worn down point which is the center of them. My assumption given the wear pattern is that they were over inflated on the car they came off of and the firestones were the rears or non drive tires on the car they came off of.

Mrs. C and I went looking at IKEA, with no intention of buying, for a bed for the extra bedroom we are going to have. She found what she wanted and decided to wait until we are moved in before getting it, which was fine by me. She always haunts the As-Is section on the way out. Stupid me spotted the same bed in a damaged box for half price.

It’s still sitting in the Renegade and we found out how small the Renegade really is.
