Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

Trying to find a mouse that is comfortable with the new laptop, so ordered a 3rd one.

Also giving Donnie Yen another look...in these

^ I owned a bootleg of the Lost Bladesman years ago, and wasn't too keen on Yen as Guan Yu from a dramatic perspective. But noticing Yen's Rogue One co-star Jiang Wen is also in this and Andy On (who is the only youngish HK martial artist actor who I can watch without groaning.) Trying again especially since they were cheap enough for me jump.

^ *a.k.a. Kung Fu Jungle. This looks dumb as hell, but I couldn't resist seeing one of my favorite Shaw Brothers gents in a cameo, which will hopefully justify buying it.

There's a slew of other movies I am looking at, but I have to remain thrifty right now.

I'm confused. How come your Nike+ came in a square box? Mine came in a rectangular box. Or is this just another frivolous difference between the LTE version and the GPS?

Yes, I believe only LTE sport loop comes in a square box (and Edition models)

I may be mistaken, but I believe it comes down to a difference in strap. Sport loops in square boxes, and sport bands in rectangular.
 
I love Japanese steel I have used numerous Japanese hand made woodworking tools and had some hand made kitchen knifes. but I gave up on finding a folding knife that looked like it was practical for my fumbling hands. So I broke down and got this little guy. a little smaller then I pictured but it actually fits a hand well. I bought it as a utility knife to replace my benchmade. nothing wrong with the benchmade but even with the high end steel it does not get as sharp or hold an edge like I love to have. well this little guy sure does came past razor sharp. hand forged from hitachi white steel by a master japanese blacksmith here in portland oregon. Seems a good share of my knifes are made here bench made leatherman and now carter cutlery. I have one of his kitchen knives and love it. I spent more then I should have on this guy.I just loved the look of the dyed bone handle.

Deceptively simple but enormously attractive. Enjoy using it.

yes it just called to me. I would like a longer handle but it does work. I won't worry about dulling it like my benchmade. I don't usually get to buy the one thing that really is about the he best out there. I may end up selling my other knife I don't really collect things and I don't like tools sitting around and not getting used.

Well, if you enjoy using it - and if it 'called to you' and looks that good, sounds as though it is an excellent purchase. Do make sure that you enjoy it.
 
I always intended to get Apple Care for my new MacBook Pro, but I needed to spread the cost out and waited until I sold my old Mac Pro.

I definately want 3 years cover on such a high priced laptop, but wow, I could have just about bought a series 3 Apple Watch for what it cost!
