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

[Dr_Grip]

Two LPs.

 

[IceBone]

On purpose?

 

[Spectre]

To replace a similar kit ruined by brake fluid:

*checks photo* *reads post*

Huh? Wouldn't the tool designed for brake bleeding be built to survive the characteristics that brake fluid is made of?

 

[GRtak]

Brake fluid is nasty stuff. To make it brake fluid proof would probably triple the costs and make it a pain to maintain. There is a canister that is easy to overflow and it doesn't take much in the hose to work it's way to the pump.

 

[Spectre]

Yup, and that's what happened to the last one. Obviously the PVC frame is impervious to brake fluid, but the metal parts inside were not made to be exposed to brake fluid. I could rebuild the one I already have, the kit is $14-20, but this one was listed on CL for $20 and I can use it immediately instead of spending a few hours doing a rebuild.

 

[Dr_Grip]

On purpose?

Yep. Bob Wills is a legend who has been a major influence to artists as unlikely as Fats Domino or Bob Dylan. And the other one is a field recording of Appalacian coal mining songs, which range from bluegrass to blues and tell stories about mining accidents, black lung and unionizing.

A saw, on a stick! I have tall trees that need attending to.

Hm, I thought they only made motorized tree cutting tools

(i'll stop now...)

 

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Ouch! That reminds me that I can buy an extendible chainsaw-on-a-stick attachment for my trimmer.

It is a well respected tool at a reasonable price. The last axe I bought would not hold an edge and it gets old sharpening it all the time.

 

[CrzRsn]

Heard good things about this book, so why not

 

[MWF]

To replace the similar thing I had which I was using the last couple of years at Ringmeet which broke and is now discontinued.....

 

[MacGuffin]

This bottle of sparkling wine...

...for 21,159 Euros.

 

[MWF]

Subtle.

 

[MacGuffin]

Isn't it?

 

[Adunaphel]

Lemme guess, they threw in a car for free?
