Somewhere on my key ring is a 'T Key' that will let me open any lock on the Boston system.

An old compilation LP from WCFL AM1000 called Winter Gold. Muzak from when I was a teen and WLS and WCFL were the top o' the heap for R&R in the Chicago area. Five beans at an antique store.

I bought a Coleman Powerhouse Dual Fuel Lantern, and a Coleman Dual Fuel two burner camping stove. I have a single burner Dual Fuel stove, and I absolutely LOVE it. I figure that now I'm back in a place that isn't trying to broil me alive, there's going to be a lot more camping in my future, and most of it will likely be with the Ural, so space isn't as much of a concern.

Good choices. I have an earlier Coleman dual fuel lantern and the 533 single burner dual fuel stove for Ural camping along with an MSR International for a second burner. I bring them so I don't need to bring a can of Coleman fuel along. Makes more room for food. Because of the additives in auto gas, it wouldn't hurt to run a tank of Coleman fuel through them every now and then to flush them out.

Tamforce automatic welding mask to replace my ten year old Masino that apparently hit it's best before date and stopped both clearing all the way and properly darkening. Apparently it's been a gradual degrade I only picked up on when my eyes started hurting when welding, whoo boy what a difference it makes to actually see what you're doing! As a test I just welded a ceiling mounted chin-up bar to the garage and seems to be working fine!

One of these for the Wee-Strom. The stock exhaust is so quiet, combined with my old ears, I literally have to watch the tach to shift. This should help with the girth of the stock pipe as well.

An old Triumph mountain bike and an old no name pressure washer. As well as an 8 hp motor for the old Allis chalmers ride on lawnmower.

I acquired a used HP M602n with duplexer and it has served me well. It produces beautiful printouts in black and white when I need them check reviews at printerhow.com, and it prints 50+ pages per minute for everyday use.

There's no color, but there's a tank, and it has a built-in diagnostic function that lets you see how worn the parts are and how much toner is left before you buy it. My current toner cartridge has about 14,000 pages left out of its original 20,000 page capacity. The total cost of the setup, including shipping, was around $240.

Not bad considering how overpriced they are new. we have about 20 m6xx around here, they last quite a while normally.

New jacket at lil peep store https://www.rockymountainatvmc.com/p...venture-Jacket

New work flashlight for tool bag

That BattleBorn jacket appears to be quite durable. I have the First Gear Kilimanjaro 37.5, which is one of my greatest purchases of all time. It's comfy, long-lasting, waterproof, has excellent ventilation, and, in my opinion, looks beautiful. If you're interested, I could get you a great bargain on one.

All kinds of stuff today and all of it has to do with the Wrangler in one way or another.

From HF: 6-ton bench mounted hydraulic press. (Another effed up front axle u-joint).
1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 wobble extensions because whoever designed the exhaust system hates mechanics.
Dogbone creeper because my other one just plain sucks.

From Amazon: Four of the special nut and bolts for the aforementioned exhaust system designed by a sadist.

I'm replacing the rear main seal, well, because it's a 16 year old Jeep with a 4.0, and it leaks like an old Triumph. In order to drop the pan, one must drop the front exhaust pipe which consists of three, count 'em, three catalytic converters and two O2 sensors. The whole thing is held to the exhaust manifold with four bolts and what best could be called big freaking speed nuts. Because I'm on vacation and, of course, one broken bolt, or a broken big freaking speed nut, will turn a 20 minute job into a three day ordeal, it took three days to remove the pipe.

Jeez, the seal itself was easy.

Two fully reflective shell jackets one for work another for jogs. Actually ordered them last saturday, received a tracking code last sunday but the code still after a week says the packet has not yet been received for delivery. Two email queries sent, no answers. As a private entrepreneur myself pisses me to no end seeing massive ad campaigns about supporting your local small companies instead of faceless multinational ones during COVID and this is what you get when you do!
