Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

[Mr. McMac]

I can get small easy things done when I have to. But I won't even begin to compare myself with your skills because I have very few in electronics.

I started building electronic kits as a teenager by Heathkit, Dynaco, etc. in the late 60's. That's how I started off. Made mil-spec circuit boards for the aerospace industry in the early 70's. Then worked in a Stereo Store as a technician for a couple of years. After that, I serviced Printing Press electrics/electronics up until I retired 2 years ago. Now I fix stuff around the house including electrical, plumbing, just about anything that needs to be fixed or replaced.

if anyone is looking for a cheap daily drinking wine, this is hard to beat. bought a case yesterday and will probably grab another one today as this sold out in a weekend last year at costco.

I like to buy maps of places Im going, so Ive just bought this Ordnance Survey map of the Isle of Man in preparation for my visit next week to the TT race..

 

[Mr. McMac]

Got 2 26650 Li-Ion IMR rechargeable Batteries for the new Convoy L6 Flashlight I have on order.

The Convoy L6 with XHP70 LED Emitter (3800 lumens) added to my vast collection of flashlights

A short clip of it in action. Not entirely happy with the Genie but I like the way this came out.

When did they start doing the light show on the opera house? Is it a nightly thing? that's insane! Wish they did it when I visited

Toolcart and tools

They do it every year around this time. Not just the Opera House though, it's through the city and some other suburbs. Some really clever people.

A few days late, but picked this up earlier in the week - I've had a lot of fun so far. Looking forward to when the competitive mode releases and how it plays out.

Even though I just gave a friend a couple bucks for these. He would have gave them to me for free but he had to drive from Belgium to Germany to give them to me. Best beer I've ever had, and many people would agree with me.

I thought that beer was in Belgium? I was told of a monk beer where you need to call and place an order. That's suppose to be the best from what I've been told.

Front doors installed today. The wife needs to pick out new sconces now.

I want your house.

I love maps, as well.

Both old and new.

It is in Belgium.

And yes, that is the legendary beer that - in general - you need to call and place an order in advance as supplies are limited and usually for sale only through the monastery.

Production at the monastery is strictly controlled, and is only increased - and thus, a little more widely available - if they need the extra income for, say, repairing the church or monastery roof.

Well, once in your life.......such a financial risk may be worthwhile.

Recently, I tried a stunning fruit beer (with natural fruit, not chemical substitutes) which exceeded that in price. Now, it will never be my daily drinking, but it was wonderful to taste and try.

What is completive mode going to bring to the game. I have been on the fence about buying this game but it looks like it will get boring fast

(apologies for correcting your quote. You may have misread)
Simply it's going to add thrill. Quite a few people including me enjoy playing competitively. Also PvP games tend to get boring way less than pve. Finally the best part comes if you find friends and play together with them. Blizzard integrated voice communication which will add a lot to the fun.
p.s. I really like the business model of this game. No payed DLC, no season pass. You pay once. If you get bored not a big deal.

I've been putting revising my AK off for quite a while now and decided to get some things for it, and some other stuff I needed. I also needed to take some weight off of it and upgrade from rail, to m lok. Still waiting on the grip, have to mount the switch, need to paint the trigger red and install it, aaaaand I think that's it. Anywhere, her it is for now.

 

[BoneDaddy]

And what it is so far.

I have to find a way to mount the dual switch without a rail, or zip ties, so it's back to the momentary on, for now. Other than a new break, It's done.

A couple of these for some of my sad looking pots in the garden. Hopefully some bees will find them attractive so I can photograph them.

so good-looking, if it only had one more port . Maybe at WWDC when we get a 14" Retina Macbook.

Still waiting on the zombies. I don't count.
