Putting shinko 777's on my vtx, to replace the 12 year old stockers. I've checked them often this summer, no checking or dry rotting but it's time. They only have 8400 on them but the fronts pretty well shot.

I bought a soundbar. Polk magnifi max to replace the terrible speakers on the projector. They are 10x2w but the sound quality is terrible, as to be expected.

It was yesterday, but I bought a new carb for the snowblower at the new place. Fourteen bucks from Amazon.

As an aside, I do wish people weren’t so stupid. Accessing the carb is a PITA because of all the guards and covers on the engine. Yes, mufflers get hot. Don’t touch them when the engine is running, nitwit.

Sir Fromagé, some of the shrouding is actually to keep warm air around the carb to improve runability, and to keep snow out of the intake, sinve theres no air filter. I work on the dang things all day long this timw of uear...i feel your pain...LOL

That part I get.
I deal with rail road safety devices on a daily basis. Some I scratch my head on and others are “You’re fcuking kidding me, right?”

Sometimes I wonder how I survived my childhood on the farm.

Bought a bunch of crap. Receiver, sub, 2 floor towers, 2 bookshelfs and a center channel. Tired a sound bar and it died in 3 days so decided to just do it right.

A Craftsman hammer drill because I didn't have one and I need to drill holes in bricks to hang Mrs. C's TV.

Went to HF and picked up two 4' LED lights for the shed that were on sale. Got tired of changing florescent bulbs that only worked half the time. Got my 4 in 1 free screw driver too.

Lights was so bright I ended up tearing down all my air tools and cleaned them up. It was nice being able to see what I was working on. Lol

Speaking of lights....I have been researching and researching for LED lights for my shop. I think my ceiling is 13 or 14 ft. I did get some shorter LED lights over a bench, I think the mrs got them from Costco. I have to get away from the old school lighting syndrome. Lots of deals this time of year.
