Was in a sale for 39,95. I couldn't resist, even though I have to glue the remote control sensor back in place again with something stronger after 2 days *lol*

 

[mclarensmps]

That is pretty awesome actually. That's a ridiculous price

 

[Shawn]

By the location of all those books, I'm guessing they only ever get taken down for a dusting... right? :lol:

Are those volumes of an encyclopedia? They all look the same.

New 350 dollar laptop for my wife so she can stop writing her book out on half a dozen notebooks and actually type it all out.

 

[Der Stig]

Got Red Dead Redemption as well. Good fun, despite some things are broken and wonky.

Those are cases for something called VHS cassettes. I suppose you're too young to know what that is

But I have an encyclopedia, too

Yeah, way too young. I also don't know what dial-up internet is. :lol:

It's just that they look leather-bound so I figured they were volumes of a dictionary or encyclopedia or the like.

That is 350 USD which is like 700 err 500 359 CAD.

It's for Internet and writing doesn't need to be fancy but wanted something more full sized and not a netbook.

 

[mclarensmps]

Oh, don't get me wrong. The purchase is great! I just think writing a book on notepads is fabulously awesome.

Bought a decent, if inexpensive 29er all-terrain bicycle http://www.walmart.com/ip/29-Men-s-Mongoose-Impasse/13398137 though, not from a Walmart but from a bicycle shop so it doesn't have shitty components, and I get a warranty.

And a pair of these for the Yamaha: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-...rcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5d28e64601

And some new hiking/off-road boots to go with the bicycle.

 

[melbournian]

a MAC lipstick...which I *maybe* didn't need, but I'm feeling celebratory.
I'm going to wear it to the 5 Series launch at Docklands tonight. Which I should probably get dressed for in a minute.

That Red Faction cover is WAY better than the ones we got here.

I got these for ball hockey. Can't beat $90 for $40 shipped, cheaper than anything I can get here that is semi-decent quality. They maybe ugly, but that is what I wanted.

 

[jedd_kenobi]

saw these in Tesco in their "buy 1 get 1 free" offer and just had to get them.

[mclarensmps]

Good deal!

Wheels and tires
Included 3/4 of me in the pic as a bonus

It's nap first, THEN ride.

I just purchased some raep from the VW dealer. Having them do a brake fluid flush and possibly change a headlight bulb. I'm estimating the bill to be $250, at least.

Short couplings for my toy trains

Below are standard couplings and the green cars have the short couplings. Looks cool, I think.
