Just bought some galaxy buds pro 2 for a great deal on Amazon. Usb c headset wasn't working correctly (right ear) so I bought new ones and they don't work. A lot of people are having similar issues. So just bought the buds pro 2 and am happy with the purchase.

Also bought a computer desk for the oldest daughter and a day bed. Now need to look for new mattresses.

Just picked this up at harbor freight, with my 25% off labor day coupon it was perfect timing as my old craftsman impact (also pictured) just doesn't have the muscle for something I am working on right now.

This thing has 1,200 ft/lbs of break away torque and 1,000 continuous.

Even on the lowest setting, it has about the same, if not more grunt than that old Crapsman. I think that one was around 500 ft/lb breakaway and around 350 continous. However, it still had struggles against some of the really rusted frame bolts I was trying to get off. It ripped one in half though. :D

I bought this for the newer burb. While I would like to do as much of the entire frame and stuff as possible, I at least want to get the drivers side rail and protect all brake lines and fuel lines. One of the things plaguing the old one is that it is rusting away underneath and it is killing things (two burst brake lines and one fuel line). I am going to have to dump it soon because it's getting so bad.

I received new seat covers today. I tried several brands but didn't like them much. Some covers didn't fit well, other wore out fast. But after my wife started using wetokole covers, I understood that there really exist quality ones. It is easy to wash and put them on and off. And it has to be noted, that wetokole offers covers for almost all car models, so you have a high chance to get those that fit your car seats perfectly. I finally have such covers and I'm happy.

Good luck with that, you shoulda bought a used Aeron like I recommended.
I guess its better than what your sitting in now though
I love my Steelcase you gave me. Fucker is comfy as hell and let's my butt and balls breathe with nice cool mesh.

Little sentimental back-story here:

Adopted as a newborn. Adoptive mom died when I was 3 of Hodgkins. Her mom, my Nana, moved in to help adoptive dad raise me and I was super close through my whole life to her. I moved from Alaska to Chicago in 2003 because her health was declining and I wanted to be there with her. I had the wedding ring that my Nana wore and then gave to my adoptive mom to wear.

Well, over this past weekend, my wife and I took that ring to a jeweler and removed the diamond to place in a new setting. I picked it up after transferring stone and resizing down to a 3.75. We both could not be happier with how it turned out.

Going to re-propose to her in a “renew vow” kinda way.
