Just bought a used Tern Node D8 when they still had 20" tires from a local rider. Gonna throw on some better tires, re-cable the whole thing, throw the folding pedals back on, switch from a grip shit to trigger shifter, maybe just change the front brake, and then try to change my into the city commuting routine. Really excited to complete my stable. I always wanted three bikes - one higher end flat bar urban/gravel hybrid, one flat bar more laid back fairly cheap urban basket go getter, and then one foldy. The Trifecta is complete.

Sony XM4 noise cancelling headphones for traveling. Finally seemed to drop to a Slickdeals-post level price ($200). Should be nice to try out with some flights I have coming up later this year and into next.

Looks nice. Does it also have electric assist? Folding bikes always seem like relatively great things to have in cities when cops don't give 2 fucks about bike theft.

I'm about to start putting in hardwood stair treads, so I "need" a miter saw. This came up and I couldn't pass it up for $189; the reviews are generally good and it has a shadow line, so why not. Anything better would be $200+ more.

I also bought a Freud 10" 80-tooth blade for it.

Having just done the stair treads in my own house consider getting one of these:


Makes marking treads / setting fence and stops a lot easier.

Also don’t be afraid of using some scraps to verify your cuts before hand.

I ended up using a miter sled and my table saw with I think the same Freud blade and it cut well.

I bought a plantronics voyager bluetooth earpiece about a month ago. It was listed at 79.99 but the Amazon price was 69.99 (from 79.99) - I'd seen it at that price for a bit as well. I managed to lose it already and went to buy it again, it's $59.99 now for Prime Day, but advertises it at 25% off lol

I knew Prime Day was scammy but funny enough I got to notice with the one single item I've had to re buy in a while.

It never ends. Have you looked into the newer robotic cleaners? Can't afford one right now but they look tempting. No more hose and fittings to maintain. I wonder how they hold up.
I've been looking at the robotic cleaners myself but yeah, pricey. We have the old trusty polaris 300(200?) cleaner but it doesn't do our steps, or else if it does get on the steps, it gets stuck.

I didn't just buy it, but I ordered a Bawls variety pack a couple days ago. Should be good looking forward to Quakecon.

I haven't -- something about an electric device IN the pool feels weird to me lol.

When the Polaris works, it does a great job. Third party parts are cheap enough and they're easy to repair -- it's really just the principle lol.

72 albums (64 hours) of Hungarian psychedelic music. About three hours into it now and so far it's been awesome.

Sounds like a bandcamp discography discount. Got a link?

As for me, I bought a year of internet service. Cost $395. It isn't as performant as my previous Tmobile based service, but it's much cheaper, and no hard limits.
