The "I just bought..." thread.

Are you supplying the local firestation? lol that's a lot of pit-sticks

Local stores stopped carrying unscented deodorant. If I wanted to stink, I would just not wear any. Ordering by the eight pack is cheapest and by ordering two packs, free shipping. I'm set for quite awhile.

Yeah that I can understand, unscented deodorant is hard to find on shelves. Anti-perspirants-only sure, but not with deodorant.

I was looking at those ... the ancient Logitech 2:1's on my 2ed PC are about to die so I need something to replace them and don't need a sub.

How do you like them so far?

They got delivered today. So far I think they're great. I haven't setup BT from my phone yet, using headphone to RCA cable from tv to speakers, and they sound great so far. No humming when I crank them.

I would be them for PC if / when the Klipsch 2.1's finally die.

Main TV might get a beefier pair someday, like I said, still using a car radio and salvaged aiwa speakers.

They still make stuff they CALL "unscented" but far as I can tell 99% of them have a mild scent added despite this. (I use Mitchum roll-on unscented and it certainly does.. also it is an AP/Deodorant combo)

Pretty sure the problem is that without something added they'll smell like a chemistry-set.

 

[ch33zw1z]

Oh man, the topic of antiperspirant deodorant. Pandemic ch33z stopped wearing any back in October. Come June 2021, it started to catch up with me.

I decided to give this a shot (after 20 minutes of reading labels at cvs)

one of my best purchases in a while, the upgraded front basket to the Wald 137, plus a the Sugarloaf bag made to fit it perfectly by Swift Industries in Seattle, made with XPAC material and a waterproof zipper, plus a simple and nifty way to secure it to the basket. No more sweaty back for rides when I take the beater out, and so much easier to access things when just making a quick stop. Now grabbing that flask for a swig is much more convenient. Taken it for about 40 miles of riding so far, works like a charm.

I received the prints, and just got back from picking them up from having them framed.

The Wolverine one got damaged being framed, so the only option I had to where you can't see the damage was to have the white matte go all the way to the image on the sides.

She was really nice and felt really bad about it, and she ended up pretty much giving me everything for free concerning the charges for the Wolverine one. I still think it turned out good, but when I first came back to pick them up, the last thing you want to first hear is "I damaged one of the pictures". It definitely gave me a bit of a scare at first.

Well I didn't buy it myself, but wife bought it for me for Father's Day last weekend.

Visited my favorite/nearby Saver's Thrift store 2 miles from my place. Paid exactly $57 (after tax) for all of these items. Cashier (Rahma) asked me I had a emailed 30% off coupon, darn it.
If it was a Monday, it would have been 50% off. But that place is always packed on Mondays (long lines outside before they open 9AM) and long checkout lines too.
I'm just glad that you are no longer required to wear a mask if you've been covid-19 vaccinated.

Price I paid ---Varying prices; new and used condition obviously..

1.$12.99 -----Ride Free Forever : Harley-Davidson, the Legend - Thriftbooks.com- $8.09 ; $ AbeBooks - $9.17; eBay - $11.30/$35.00/$350.00
2. $7.99 -----TI-84 Plus - $ 69.59; $88.99; $122.98; $149.00
3. $ 7.99 -----TI-84 Plus CE - eBay - $75.00; $109.99; $129.98
4. $3.99-------Targus TBS005US-11 15.6" Slipskin Laptop Sleeve - Best Buy - $22.49 (sold out)
5. $15.99------GreenPan Chatham 12" Cermic Non-Stock Open Fry Pan - BBB _ $39.99; Macy's $49.99; Kohl's - $39.99 (64.99)
6. $2.99 -------EF american 3000 Permanent Marker - $19.90? price for 11 according to UK website. (This one looks like a fake copycat).
--------------
Total $51.94+ 9.75% tax = $57.00

The accidental order came today.

I'm not going to lie and say it isn't really nice, I just wasn't paying enough attention when I was preordering a Star Wars statue.

It's almost 22" tall, and based on the size and weight of the box, I'd likely be out $100 in shipping charges (the box is huge) if I tried to return it. So I guess it's just got to stay here.

These came in the last couple weeks. A rigging block, and a USN rigging knife...

Its actually starscream... well those of us who grew up as kids in the 80's remember it as, and not the raptor version the movies showed us.

Just got an Ecobee 3 Lite, to swap out the simple digital thermostat in my current apartment. Thanks to Massachusett's energy incentive programs, I'll be able to get a $100 rebate on it too, so <$50 for a smart thermostat with good reviews and features.

My Swan M200 MkII set died after 14 years. Just went mute suddenly, didn't lose power.

Replaced them with
Klipsch R-51PM Powered Bluetooth Speakers

. . . hope I don't regret it, and they last just as long. Don't have a lot of faith in the brand - just wanted some forward/bright/detailed high freqs. Think the Swans projected better at lower volumes, though they were an inch smaller.

I used to love Klipsch.
You were the cool gamer if you had Klipsch and not logitech or creative labs / cambridge.

But i hear lately for the bookshelf market Audioengine or Edifers are the real way to go.
But let me know how those Klipsch sound.

No, I'll admit I have plenty of those kind of purchases.

This one was really a mistake. I hadn't been ordering any new toys for a while (the stuff over the 6 months were just older preorders coming in).

I logged into my account to pre-order a Star Wars figure that had been pretty much sold out when it was first announced in December, and at some point in the past, I must have added the Starscream to my cart since I was considering it the time. Well, I found out their system is like Amazon's and must save it in their system, because I got a shipping notification for it the next day.

I rushed to checkout before the Star Wars figure sold again, and I simply didn't notice the Starscream got added back into the cart.

Its actually starscream... well those of us who grew up as kids in the 80's remember it as, and not the raptor version the movies showed us.

Yeah, I can kinda forgive Michael Bay for a lot of stuff (cough, King Arthur, cough), but the movie version of Starscream just sucked on so many levels.

I did have to purchase a full set of new tires (4) for my vehicle because one of the tire had a tear along the sidewall due to the rubber was old (made in 2012). The whole thing after tires + fees + tax + shipping + installation + this + that = almost $600 USD.

 

[aigomorla]

LOL i remember my friends had that toy....
Then i bought my Macross VF-1S the next day.

Yeah, you can tell what was more popular. lol...
Man i wish i kept those in Mint condition....
I had the VF-1S and VF-1J along with the full clip on armor...

Ahhh i miss my childhood...
