Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

M_Six · 01-25-2023, 09:18 AM

I bought this snow thrower attachment back in the fall, but finally got a chance to try it out. It attaches to the same base handle/motor as my weed whacker. It worked ok. It's able to throw 3" of heavy slush, but only straight forward, which is a bit of a pain. I tried angling it a bit and that worked to a degree, but the crosswind today sort of negated the angling coming up the driveway. And it throws the snow so far forward that I had to lower the garage door and let the snow hit the door, then clean it up after. Still, it beat shoveling. I guess I just need to develop a good technique for throwing the snow at a reasonable angle. They're priced at $149, but I think I got mine for less during a sale. Not bad for the price, but if it snowed more often here, I'd opt for a larger snow blower.
(The clearer area I just did with a shovel. It's still snowing, so there is snow where I used the thrower already.)

I approve. Assume I'll be seeing you on the GenesisOwners forum

Love the bugs - Genesis update their app that allowed my wife to lock the car, but not open it. Had to go out an rescue her the other day.

Lol, maybe. I barely have enough time to check on this forum and MBWorld, but I’ll definitely have to check it out.

That is a funny bug. I find most of the phone apps annoying across brands. Since the key already has remote start on it I think my wife will probably just use that.

Super Mario wrist band for the new Nintendo world at Universal Studios. Now you don’t only need a park ticket/pass, you also need this to do all the Nintendo stuff at the park. LOL!
It was worth it.

That just makes it more secure, no?

Trek Domane+ LT. I ordered this bike in August 2021. It finally arrived yesterday. Still in the process of being built. Hence the protective foam and lack of pedals. Of course next week is going to be frigid cold and windy here, so it'll be a while before I get to actually ride it. But at least it's real now and not "awaiting delivery."

Parts for my wife's sewing machine. . .

Was the super hairy arm free, or was that stock?

I'm going for my daughter's birthday (Harry Potter mostly) in a few weeks. Did you get that on site?

Yea, at Nintendo world you get them out of a vending machine..

The Harry Potter part of the park is great.

We went on a Wednesday, rides that normally have an hour+ wait or some that need reservations had no line. I think the longest line was 25 minutes. They do close earlier though. Still plenty of time to go on every ride maybe 3x.

bucketfoot · 02-02-2023, 09:13 AM

New desk and keyboard for my home studio DAW setup.

I replaced the loveseat that was the back row of my home theater seating, since it had become more of a junk collector than seating!

20 years ago I shudder to think how much a similar home setup would have cost. This is an area Tech has definitely improved.

That's for sure, 20 years ago I was using a good old 4-track Fostex cassette recorder.
