Slight change of plans. Was walking back from taking my car to a service shop when I happened to walk past a metal waste skip in the yard of a small trucking company and spotted this on top, a couple phonecalls later it's home for free LOL. It's a dog and needs a thorough rebuild, the front scoop and the wheel axel's bent from being thrown on the pile and the engine's frozen solid but even if I change/repair all that I reckon I can still make a working plow out of this for less than 300 with a brand new engine. Already took it apart and the powertrain's in full working order just needs a new heart. This will go to mom once rebuilt and I'm keeping the Toro for myself as we only have a double carport to clean vs a big yard.

I get it. I'm not a coffee snob. Coffee is nothing more than a caffeine delivery system, not a social event that needs to be discussed, at length. Same reason I drink Miller Lite. To me, it's the best of the Big Three, affordable, and is available at every store.

Not today...but much like cheesy, I bought plane fare to JAX. Hopefully after Ian, we'll be able to land.

Careful! I just put a new rear tire on my DRZ and got a little squirrelY in one on the first tight twisties, taking it easy. That 50 mile scrub-in is "no kidding".

Bought one of these. The little tail bag I have on the DRZ is nice, but it's good for 2 beers and a baseball cap. Had one of these on my V-Strom I sold and loved it. It will hold two beers, a flannel shirt AND a baseball cap!

Went looking at Restore for a small shelving unit for Mrs. C. Didn't find one she liked but I found a top o' the line Craftsman solder gun with a whack of replacement tips for $12. As it was Senior Day Wednesday, I got another 10% off.
I've been noticing something at the different Restore shops I visit. There are now a lot of bench mounted jig saws coming available. When I was setting up my wood shop, I looked for weeks before I scored a beat up Ryobi. Took a year before I found a second one, a Dremel, for the barn. Yesterday, there were five at the Restore we were at. Two of those were top line machines. The prices have climbed, too. I don't have $50 in my two but you couldn't get out of the for less than $65 for one. There was a Dremel, same as the one I got for $25, going for $85. I'm guessing building birdhouses with kids is going out of style.
