The "I just bought..." thread.

Sweet!

Also, whatcha workin' on with all those EPROMs and the Digi-Key box?

Looks like an arcade board.

Yea this is my little work bench desk that is also now my actual work on the other side lol.

The digikey box is just for storage. I have soldering stuff in there.

And then I have 2 Egg Venture arcade boards. Both of them aren't working but for different reasons and before my son was born I was trying to get a working board out of them but haven't been messing with it in a while.

Bought a griddle a few weeks back. Absolute favorite purchase this year. Can't recommend these things enough! It's like a 3' long cast iron skillet!

Wrong! You can not season a griddle with meat fats or it will go rancid. You need to use vegetable fats. HA!

Fun project with those: they make FANTASTIC jukeboxes. People are putting NAS boxes in an enclosure with those old touch screen PCs, installing jukebox software, and going to town.

Here's an example:

New PC "monitor" .. LG CX 48 OLED to prepare for 3080 day next week. Playing games at 1440p 120 Hz in the meantime and it is fantastic. No more gaming monitor and secondary color accuracy monitor because now they are combined (once this is calibrated).

Went to Harbor Freight to return my jack stands and got $63 in store credit. Put it towards this guy:

3 Ton Long-Reach Low-Profile Professional Floor Jack with RAPID PUMP, Blue

Amazing deals on this 3T Long-Reach Lp Pro Floor Jack, Blue at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

They didn't have the green version in stock, so I went with blue.

It's huge and way overkill, but totally worth it.

At least its color-coordinated with your tarp & bucket though!

It's like the same exact color which is pretty weird.

I want big property so bad just so I can buy toys like this. I see stuff like that on Kijiji pretty often. Sometimes even defunct heavy equipment for super cheap, would make fun projects to learn how to fix up stuff like that.

Maple cream cookies. Those things are delicious, but cookies are the last thing I need to be eating. I made an exception to celebrate summer fucking off for a few months. A little early, but it's time. Seriously, FUCK OFF!!

great now I am getting aquarium stuff just because my brother has some baby guppies he wants to get rid of.

The new Spyderco blades are coming soon.

Knives Coming Soon - Blade HQ

These are knives that have been announced for the coming year and that we will have for sale at some point in the future.

www.bladehq.com

The bug and bee are tiny knives which are great to put on a keychain, and I'm glad they were reissued with a black coating, because the bare steel versions rust easily.
Also they have more products with the new LC200N steel which I like. Its rust proof same as H1, but much stronger.
