What's your latest [non-technology] purchase?

[NoNeedForAChestWig]

(with hamster for size)

There's an obvious image modification that can be made for a cheap joke, there.

Nah. Just put Hammond behind the wheel of one of those cars and you won't even need to doctor the photo.

8 packs of these:

In various flavors. Not the healthiest thing for lunches at work, but they are dirt cheap (10 for 10) at the supermarket. So it works.

These for my wheels, which you could pick the paint off with your hands :lol: A good refurb is needed. And yeah I went for generic Halfords paint; can't be that bad can it?

Unfortunately I don't really know how much of each I'll need. I know 1 coat of primer and a few coats of paint and lacquer, but I don't know how much that will be in ml/cans.

Also some black silicone adhesive filler to fix the leak in the car. Currently curing.

As with any applied coating, preparation is the key. Clean surface, correct anchor profile and correct film build up. Translation: Clean the damn things properly, get rid of any oil/grease/water etc. You may need to rough up the substrate/old coating or remove the old coating all together. And finally, multiple coats, not to thick, not to thin is the best avenue to take.

Table, now I need to find the matching chairs.

Kershaw Skyline. Bought it off a friend for 25 bucks.

I wanted to buy them in a store, but it seems that's impossible in Connecticut, or at least a secret. Should arrive next week.

They arrived yesterday, and despite being a half size larger than the ones I tried in the store(largest they had, and wrong color), they're considerably tighter and unwearable. Now I have to send them back, wait, wait some more, then probably get the wrong thing back. I may just return for a refund and have the store in the mall order some, that way I can try them on the spot and not have to wait for return shipping if something is still wrong.

Online shopping for shoes sucks Even more because there are virtually no *cat pumas sold anywhere in the stores here.

 

[maxtortheone]

And they're snug fit shoes so that makes it hard to find ones that fit even if they had them.

 

[IceBone]

My Drift Cats were a bit tight from the start, but they stretched out. Leather does that.

 

[Adunaphel]

Brodit holder for my phone, plus vent-mount for my car. Should arrive tomorrow.

Received $110.7 for serving on a jury so I decided to purchase a few things.
