Cheese curds, smoked string cheese, frozen hash browns, Jay's, and spicy soy sauce at Woodman's.
Found an old pair of Ridell roller skates at ReStore for $10. I got them for the wheels and trucks. Kind of wish the boots fit me, they're really nice. This was a high buck pair of skates when they were new.

I got this for my main motorcycle. But this electric mini bike can also benefit from it. None of my local brick and mortar stores carry this, I can buy it in other cities in stores just not in my city.

I think I did okay with the value of the Riedell skates. The barely used 62mm Sure Grip +Plus wheels retail for $155, less the bearings. The Sunlite trucks and plates go for $90. The boots, which I'm having a problem identifying, could be the $400 boots or the $800 boots.
Somebody took their skating very seriously.

You got the plan! I'm a fool for chips and dip.
It's been doing nothing but storming here so I bought WAY too much online. New shoes, oil lines for the BSA, LED floor lamp for the shop, and more crap for Mrs. 2LZ office. I've named her home office "The Chunnel". It's way over-budget, and way behind schedule.

If you're looking for behind schedule and over budget names, I'd like to add, in no particular order, O'hare ATS. Honolulu Rapid Transit System. Tren Maya. Artemis. Beaufort. The Diesel Project.

Yah, but The Chunnel is easier and rolls off the lips. It's what we used to call our daughter's bedroom. "Go clean yer room!". It was way behind schedule, and way over emotional budget!

HuRT is short for Honolulu Rapid Transit.(Jason added the 'U' because that outfit is more effed up than Beaufort)

More wheel weights for my tire balancer. I've already gone through most of the 0.75 and 1.0 Gram hammer on weights. I also got some black stick on weights for the rims on my little sisters car. She has black rims, and the inner lip is hammer on, but the outer location is only stick-on. The rim doesn't have a lip on the outside, so no hammer-on weights for her! It's amazing how expensive those chunks of metal are...

A Powersonic Hypersport Lithium battery to do a Motorcycle battery conversion to the MGB to shave a bit of weight and bring it up a bit on the tech side of things. LEDs will be next on the list for that car.
https://www.plpbattery.com/products/...-ytx24hl-53030 This past weekend i also looked at a '98 Ranger regular cab to potentially replace the Toyota van. At least replace it as a daily which will allow me to pull it off the road for much needed repairs but not nickle and dime myself fuel wise while driving the C10 by using that truck as a DD.
