I was wondering about you 2. I was away for awhile and when I came back — no mention.

I'd say that was your best "purchase." (not that she can be bought :D)

First time in my life I’ve paid for a dog. The girls got ahold of him and played dress up. He’s super macho otherwise.

Recently I got a big set of the Williams (snap on industrial brands) black handle screwdrivers. Holy smokes why didn't I get these years ago? Way better bite than the weras I replaced and far more durable so far.

Wow...impressive looking horse ya got there
....how old is he?

Bought a replacement fuel tank for my F-550. E-bay purchase guarantied free Thur. delivery.
Thurs....nada. Fri.... nope. Get an e-mail that they don't know where the tank is. Do i want a refund or do i still want a tank? Send me a tank.
The following Fri. i come home from work and have not one but two fuel tanks on my door step.

The tank was a perfect fit and am happy with the purchase........but now i have to deal with returning the other tank.

7. Thank you. His name is Major, because my s/o said wow, he's a major horse.
Sold for 98k the last week of Keenland as a yearling. Didn't really have race speed, won his second outing but not much after (raced 6 times). He's too sweet, racers need fire. His canter, though, is impressive. Adoptotion fee was only $600. He had really nice training for 4 years with a lady who has too many fusions to ride any longer. He's only been with me a month, quite a change from my 14.3 Arab.

Didn't know it was for sale:confused: Gonna have to save that eBay search!!

I use this saw all year long, every year for the last 10, and save about $3000 on my heating bill each of those years. I finally figured out how to properly sharpen the chains for aggressive, long life. When you have a sharp chain, you feel like superman with this in your hands.

OLED? I just got the 65" c8 and freaking love it in my media room. Highly recommend.

Have loved OLED from day one but really want true 240hz

AFAIK, true 240hz OLED is not yet widely available in a TV and (of course) will initially be stupid expensive. Fast motion (sports...) will be the technology's true advantage but like so many things is chasing 10/10ths.

Yes, still Satisfied:

I don’t do a lot of cutting down trees/logs. But I ended up getting a dewalt battery powered chainsaw. I’ll never use my gas one again unless the battery goes dead. I have 4 so very little chance of that happening. I was so impressed with the dewalt line that I bought the hedge trimmer. Weed wacker and contemplating the lawn mower. My yard is about 1/4 acre. So two batteries should do it. You just can beat the torque from DC power.

My Stihls will EAT those wimps and clear a LOT when an ice storm knocks out power....to each their own...real tools don't have batteries imo.

100% satisfied with my ego 56v trimmer as well, never going back to 2 smoke infernal combustion unless I get 20x larger lot. Makes trimming 100x more pleasant and plenty of power for my residential lot

I've been very pleased with my Thorogood workboots. Made in the USA, on my second resole and they feel like I'm wearing slippers to work. I walk 5-8 miles a day so they have earned their keep....

Have you tried one?
DC power is far greater than anything gas or pneumatic can offer.
Be a believer.....

Not my purchase, but my wife bought a Kevko baffled oil pan for the Cobra. Great customer support as well.

Bought some Medeco locks for the exterior doors for a home remodel. Every time I slip the key in there, the smoothness of the mechanism makes me smile.

Are you still pleased?

I am looking at the 20" and 12" versions. I have three other gas powered chains saws (Stihl poles saws and a wood master) but am looking for a more convenient solution for small jobs.

I have a lot of other DeWalt battery powered stuff and so I have a lot of batteries and charging station.

Thanks!

Grabbed one similar to this while at the lumber yard a couple weeks ago, just on a whim (this is a stock photo). It was on sale for $25 and I'd ever had one before, thought I'd try it. The concept is GREAT! This one works fine, but I've been looking into them now and they are priced all over the map - 7 or 8 dollars up to over $100 for a rechargeable one. MrsWD grabbed it and uses it for sewing when I'm not using it in the shop.
I'm thinking of getting a more powerful one for myself, as I could use a little more light than this one puts out. Anyone else use one that they recommend?

I upgraded to a $12 Milwaukee utility knife.
I threw away all my $1 HF plastic ones.
Comes in very handy in the garage.

I have three. My one gave me on a few years ago for Christmas...it wasn't something I would have bought for myself.

Love them!

I was feeling real sluggish Tuesday so I went to the grocery store and picked up a bottle of prune juice.
I am 100% satisfied with the product.

It's not a terribly recent purchase, but I've been playing the crap out of it lately and fell in love.

I used my birthday winnings in Vegas to get a new motorcycle jacket. While I like my icon textile jacket, I felt it was time to move to leather. Still breaking it in, but much more enjoyable on colder rides in the morning or evening. The fit is much nicer too, feels like it conforms to me, vs. just floating in a jacket.

Wife decided she didn't really care for the way her new Brother machine embroidered so we got her this at the end of last year. It hasn't been back to the shop so I'm happy as a clam. Her old machine (Pfaff, not the Brother) spent more time in the shop than at home. Hopefully her new Pfaffs will be better at staying home.

I've also been really satisfied with this purchase too.

It's not a purchase - I'm only fostering it for a few months - but I have to say this is the best damn stuffed squirrel I've ever had. It's durable and sufficiently life-like to scare the hell out of MrsWD's friends when they come over. It's on the mantle now, but who knows where it might appear in the house tomorrow. :D

Great locks. Why did you go so high end? Just out of curiosity. I assume a medeco isn't any harder to kick in than any other lock. They used to be considered pick proof, but even thats not the case any more, not that the 99.99% of burglaries are done with following any sort of lock picking. Then there's a broken window as a point of entry which bypasses the door locks entirely.

I like the idea of hinge pins to secure the hinge side of a door. They won't really stop someone, but slow them down. It seems to me that what is really needed is a steel reinforced frame with screws that go into the studs around the frame. That would ensure that folks trying to get through the door wouldn't do it with one swift kick.

That fella looks like he's seen better days.
