The "I just bought..." thread.

Some stuff via Prime Day: ANC headphones for my wife and a Zojirushi rice cooker

And I guess if you consider a hotel room as something you can by, a few nights in Kyoto for next spring (partly covered by some Hyatt points).

Never been to Japan but would love to go. Kyoto would be at the top of my list as places to visit while I was there. The culture and history of the city is amazing from what I've read.

For sure. There are going to be tons of things to see.

We're doing a few days in Tokyo, one night at a nice ryokan with private onsen in Hakone, a bunch of days in Kyoto with potential day trips(s) to Osaka, and one more night back in Tokyo. It's going to be an awesome trip with tons to see; just trying not to overload it.

I also had enough rewards points and miles that got us PE tickets on JAL for our flights, to further keep the costs down. May even be able to upgrade to business if they release the seats in the 14 day window before we leave.

It'll be a nice capstone as my wife ends med school and prepares to start residency.

Patagonia Peak Mission Tights - heading on a bike tour and the weather will be enough of a range where these will come in handy on the trail. Key feature is the anti-microbial and anti-odor properties which come in handy over a 4 day trip. Almost got an overnight pair of under armour for $30 via Amazon, but they would probably become bothersome. Only other option was REI.

Bought a chair mat that I can extend under my desk in the PC Gaming room. Didn't really need it as the rubber roller blade stye wheels on the Gesture kept the floor from getting marred. Stuck a memory foam foot rest to the end of it with 3M automotive emblem tape. It's not going anywhere.

It really ties the room together.

Nice setup there.

edit:
It's funny. your first pic looks like the loneliest desk in the world. It makes more sense with the rest of the room shown :^D

 

[Red Squirrel]

That's a neat setup, I had tried to see if I can game in the living room off the couch but just couldn't get ergonomically comfortable enough to play keyboard/mouse based games like that. Never thought of still using a desk. Not practical for a living room but definitely cool as a dedicated room.

That looks like if a prisoner was granted a nice AV room but no money to give it any sense of space, any vibe.

It's soulless with sterile light, just like the ghoul you are.

Didn't really want to spend this kind of money but my KVM at work died, these are the best KVMs I have found so far EXCEPT the ports seem to randomly die, well blew the 3rd port on the one at work rendering it useless. I contacted the company to see WTF is up with that and if there is some sort of fix, because I have 3 and all 3 have had it happen over time. They didn't really acknowledge whether or not it's a known issue but did say they have a brand new model that uses a different process. So that tells me that yes, it was a known issue, and maybe they fixed it.

They'll also give me a discount on it. Considering I bought if off Amazon and there's no warranty or anything, I'd say it's decent customer service so I'll give them a 2nd try.

What is it like to have politics on the brain 24/7? Now that's the ghoulish nightmare.

Not really. You're politics are your fundamental values. You have established your lack of basic human decency and morals, and thus you simply are. You have been categorized correctly, it simply just is.

Your propensity for personal attacks on these forums is well known. I will not participate.

You already did. Try not participating in the future.

Needed new tires on my Impala, so I bought new tires. That is all.

Bought 2 choker chains. These chains are used to wrap around a log to drag it and the hook is made to let the chain slip so it tightens around the log to grasp it better. Only recently learned of these while looking into a safe way to do this with the ATV. Grade 70 chain. Need to buy some chain too but they sell it locally so I'll get it another time.

Portable Winch Choker Chain, Model# PCA-1295

This Choker Chain from Portable Winch is made of 1/4in. steel and equipped with a special C-Hook for quick, secure installation and removal.

Hoping to bring the ATV out to my property and start processing some of the tree pile to have firewood ready for next year.

Weather has really dropped and it's raining a lot now so I may not get a chance to go but at least I'll be ready if I do get the chance to. Also got a new chain for the chainsaw since I accidentally hit a screw with the old one, whoops.

You don't need all the teeth on a saw. If a couple are wrecked, pretty them up a little and keep on going. If I have messed up teeth that'll eventually be good, I sharpen them about the same number of strokes as the good teeth, knowing they'll be "dead" for awhile. Eventually, you'll sharpen all the crap out of them, and they'll still be the same length as the teeth that were good all along.

 

[Red Squirrel]

Yeah I will keep the old chain and try to fix it up, just wanted extras to have on hand anyway.

Please buy something better for your safety!

Too late. I'm beholden to the tires falling apart at the seams! FML

I took a deep breath and hit order on an external USB CD burner from Amazon. $18, I'm a big spender.

What are you gonna do with it? I can't remember the last time I burned a disc.

two ball bowling bag. Also got a belt clip so I walk around with them swinging back and forth between my legs. I was going to get the see-thru bag but I'm pretty sure they still arrest people for public exposure.

 

[MrSquished]

Imagine moving to the woods, then clearing it out so you have to worry about sunburn. WTF is wrong with some people?

I did a bunch of cd ripping tonight at 1411kbps because when I plug a 128 gig flash drive into my car the tracks sound much better than Sirius or BT over the phone.

Ordered another Warhammer 40k Joytoy Blood Angel Space Marine figure and it shipped from China almost two months ago... but has been stuck with the US customs in Dallas for nearly that long!!!!!

In the spirit of the consumerism thread, I did get get this small North Face sling bag to carry my new mirrorless camera around (and maybe a few other knickknacks) when I go on vacation and be a tourist and don't want to be carrying a full backpack (given that some places have backpack restrictions and whatnot)., or to have something to collect small souvenirs.
