A gas tank for my Husky garden tractor.
In an effort to support our local dealer, I ordered it there first.....2 months ago. I went back in yesterday to pick up an air filter and spark plug for Mrs. 2LZ Stihl backpack blower....and it's STILL not in.
I got online this morning and ordered the part from an online dealer who had 11 in stock. Should have done this a while ago. It's leaf season here. I really need this little tractor to pull my sweeper.

Beer. I bought beer today, and a damn solid amount at that. The occasion? I’m off work until the Monday following Thanksgiving. Unless there is something out of my control, my ass ain’t leaving the property……. Leaves to mulch, limbs to trim and burn, and some meats in the deep freeze that need tossed on the smoker. The weather is supposed to be pretty decent, so me and my Beagle are gonna enjoy the last bit of Fall outside as much as we can!

Amazon is selling and delivering MI 8s now. I'm a Prime member so I didn't have to pay shipping.

A house... I bought another house. At least this one is for the Missus, Mutant and I to live in. Right across the street from the lake, too! I'll post some pictures of the inside after the carpets have a chance to dry. We had them steam cleaned before we pile all our stuff in there. Eventually they're going to be replaced, along with updating the rest of the inside.

Those two round things with the red dots in the center remind me of something, but I just can't place it.....

Thanks, Cheesy! I have to do some work in the garage/workshop. There are some really old and haphazardly (read complete safety hazard) put together shelves in there, and I'm on the fence about keeping the little office in there as well. It takes up very useful motorcycle room! The inside of the house is a nice layout, but very dated. The place was built in 1957, and we bought it from the original owner as part of an estate sale. It's obviously been well taken care of, but it also doesn't look like anything has been updated since then. I'll try to get some pictures of the inside today.

Bruces, I wish! I actually got a hangar at the local airport out here. I'm kind of on the fence between buying an airplane, and building one. If I build one, this is what I'm thinking of:

Today, from the comfort of my recliner, I bought the last of my Christmas gifts for everyone. First time I have ever been done before December, and what a great feeling it is knowing I don't have to run around like an insane person at the mall, Walmart, or anywhere else. This calls for a celebration, remember all that beer I bought a few days ago???
