What's your latest purchase?

Just spent some coin of movie posted fabric and acoustical foam for my theater room….the wife is gonna love it!

 

Do you have one of those 'authentic' movies style popcorn makers??? If not, and if she enjoys popcorn, it's a must have in any theater room. They are kinda a bitch to clean out completely, but one of those and a couple of movie posters and you're good to go!!!!

 

Yes we actually do but it lives outside since it make a heck of a smoke/steam mess in the basement. Funny thing is my wife is a popcorn fiend (has it 6 nights a week) so her brother found this at a garage sale for $20! Cart included. I ended up disassembling it and doing a deep clean, replaced the kettle for $100 and it works amazing. Probably worth $900

 

Cool

 

Congrats!

 

Found these down the road for free. Gonna mod up the wrangler with some faster motors and gearbox for the kids this winter.

 

Purchased 2 sets of 2 inch seat risers for this bad boy. No more doing “the lean wayyyyy back cruising position”.

 

Tool set for the truck at 50% off.

 

Stocking up for the prairie dog's.

You don't hunt prairie dogs, you fish for them. I may have posted this before, but many may not have seen it.

For the uninitiated, prairie dog fishing is easy, fun, and profitable. Just get yourself a good deep sea fishing rod and real. Use about a foot of steel leader (they’ll bite through the soft stuff) and a good treble hook. Bait it with a piece of greasy pork or cheap bacon (prairie dogs are carnivorous and love pork when they can get it) and cast it out into the middle of the prairie dog village. They’ll run away at first, they’re pretty skittish, but after a short while the smell of the pork will get to them and they’ll start inching towards the bait. Be patient, any movement will send them scurrying back to their burrows. After a bit, one of the braver (or hungrier) little rodents will run out, grab the bait, and stuff it in his mouth. Being the greedy little critters they are, he’ll take off running and swallow the bait whole to keep it away from the others. Give him plenty of line and time to get up a full head of steam. When he’s swallowed it and is running full blast, set the brake and yank back on the rod. This’ll pop him inside out and you’ll have a nice fur lined moccasin. Keep fishing and once you have a nice pair for yourself, you can sell the rest to the tourists.

... an unplanned speaker upgrade <sigh>. Never thought I'd ever get rid of my tower speakers, but these are just simply superb! Music has never sounded so good in my setup! Worth every penny.

 

Guess I’ll join in the fun.

 

I love mine!

 

some hacker tools

 

Need (want) this. Love all my M18 tools.

 

I take any chance I get to use my M18 tools. Over the weekend we took down some shelving in the garage that we no longer wanted and cut it all down (mostly 2x4s). Busted out my M18 Hackzall reciprocating saw and went through it like butter.

 

New to me Coleman propane coffee maker

 

It’s quite a nice piece. Can’t stand framing with my compressor while indoors. This gun is surprisingly very heavy though!

 

Yes it's a little heavy but not a ton more than a air framer. The bump fire feature is just as fast as air also without the damn hose getting stuck on everything.

 

You will also be wanting the finish nailers now. Lol
