The "I just bought..." thread.

View attachment 83306 As I walked out of Micro Center yesterday with this I realized that maybe I should have had a heater on me in case parking lot thugs were waiting to score it rich.

Which GPU is this?

Decided to go all in on some milwaukee m18 yard tools.
Bought the M18 mower, m18 string trimmer kit and added the pole saw extension and the brush cutter blade.
Also bought the 14" top handle chainsaw.

Time to phase out some ancient desktops at the clinic. Ordered a mini PC to see how it performs. Really wanted some touchscreen all-in-one's that are VESA mountable but options are few and far between, so decided to grab a mini pc I can just hide behind the monitor.

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8 G ED Autofocus IF Lens {77} - used "UGLY" from KEH - $443, new sells for $1597. Looks and functions like new.
Got this delivered last Tuesday. A nice "upgrade" from the Tamron Auto Focus 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di LD (A061N) which I had for the D5200.

Nice, but don't you need an ~75-300mm FL lense now?

Yes, probably a 28-300mm with VR. Also a nice macro lens and camera backpack.

Ordered this, 6:59 am, got it delivered by 9:12 am. Was surprised it came so much earlier than I expected.

Amazon.com

Needed it since the Dell 3218HN (1080p, 60Hz) monitor I bought at the Flea market last Sunday for $5 didn't have a stand.



Tested it with a 4K UHD player, John Wick 4. Some light coming through the window, pic taken with a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G.

Beast of a lens!

Yes, probably a 28-300mm with VR. Also a nice macro lens and camera backpack.

I will say my Tokina 100mm f/2.8 macro is fantastic.
I have a Nikon 18-200 super zoom and I found the image at 200mm to be quite soft. Just something to watch out for on a super zoom like that.

Personally I want a 300mm or 400mm f/4 prime.

Just picked up an old jointer. Two hundred pounds of cast iron.

The Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer 2 Hoodie. A jacket I would never consider at $360, but my favorite color happens to be the only color on sale for $179, plus I had a coupon code to knock it down to $150. For over $200 off on sale, that is a steal of one of the best lightweight cool weather down jackets.

I just bought a DEC serial terminal. Going to put it in my office, connected to my server in the basement.

Got this simple led floor light with lots of brightness and color temperature adjustments. Really adds a perfect soothing white light ambience that's on the warmer tip, which will be perfect as it gets dark. It's the little things.

It was on sale for 60 bucks earlier this week. They had lots with color choices, but I just wanted different whites.

I just got the towels I ordered from The Turkish Towel Company. I ordered two of the 6 piece Zenith set in Slate Blue. They seem nice so far but I've only used them twice and washed them once when they first arrived. Hopefully they hold up.

Refurb 14" Macbook Pro. Woohoo!

A new stereo receiver. Most of my new music is digital download and my old receiver was straight analog so finding a way to have all the music in one place with minimum pain in accessing it was difficult. Now, everything is on a hard drive attached to the receiver and I can drive the thing with my phone.

Months late but a Giant roam. Not what I was looking for but old sticks in the mud want the same old mud and stick. Haven't ridden trails for 15 years so the shop guy was right about what I needed.

1x10, road tires vs the knobbies I'm used to. 29 vs 26. Paid for the fit. Just had carpal surgery 6/29 and the left hand is on 8/9.

3 bikes over 30 years is a cheap habit. This one should outlast my knees.
