$800 worth of cabinetry because Mrs.C can't leave well enough alone.

2LZ · 03-16-2023, 11:55 AM

More Royal Enfield bling.

GypsyR · 03-16-2023, 02:07 PM

Some vinyl for fabricating new stickers for the Templar. I hope. This is metallic silver and gunmetal gray. Which I guessed were a match. Black and transfer tape I'm sponging off a friend. Now if I could find the time...
Box is a new battery for an old Snap-On 14.4 volt cordless drill. So old the dead battery is a Ni-Cad. The new one is NiMH and a big improvement. The OEM charger won't handle lithium batteries but handles NiMH just fine.

TominMO · 03-16-2023, 02:26 PM

The Blu-ray set of the two Top Gun movies. Now of course I need pizza.....

**cheesy** · 03-16-2023, 04:01 PM

I found an Ascent Fluid Trainer at ReStore for $15 and a GSI kettle kit at Sierra Trading for $20.

Jamaican Jerk Shrimp.
We tried the new Jamaican place in town for lunch today. OMG. It was delicious. Not to mention spicy. My sinuses should be clear now until the pollen flies.

I think we bought a headache with the cabinets and they are going to be returned. Had I known they were in kit form, I would never have agreed to get them. I can get better crap from Ikea, with fewer missing parts and more legible instructions for less money.

Mrs.C knows I am beyond pissed about this, so she's being very quiet.

I have been wanting one of these for a while. I finally got one.

The thing comes with adjustable swingarm rests (width of the swingarm), but if you have a pass thru rear axel like the Templar X has, you can lift it by the axel. I am not sure I will bother finding a 20" rod to lift it by the axel. It is very stable as is.

Using the swingarm rests (not axel) is NECESSARY if you want to remove the rear wheel.

The rubber wheels make it so easy to lift

***This would be useful with no kickstand, or kick stand too long after lowering the bike.

Just purchased a 1993 Honda Nighthawk 250. Supposedly completely rebuilt about a year ago. Odometer shows 20K. Bike looks like it's been mostly garage kept and is in really good condition including newer tires, battery etc.

Also - Today I installed the Royal Enfield Low Ride seat on my wife's Royal Enfield Classic 350.

GypsyR · 03-18-2023, 10:48 PM

About $300 worth of floor repair stuff for a sagging water damaged bathroom floor. I've had plenty of warning and preparation time though. An unexpected kink is that our old-school floors are an actual 3/4". The ONLY panels that might be used for floors in the big box stores sell these days that are truly 3/4" are MDF. Not really what you want for a bathroom as MDF like a close second to toilet paper on being good at absorbing moisture and self-destructing. Why do things have to be so difficult? I swear.

An absolute crap-ton of coffee and two new mugs. This is from Bones Coffee Co. They're absolutely fantastic, and they have amazing flavors!
