Since they were made to keep you warm down to -70F, they were a bit warm so I ordered some cheapie rubber shoes instead. Bonus, they were 40% off.New winter boots that are "Used - like new" on Amazon for $50.12 instead of the full price of $162.64. Couldn't pass that up.

We weren't planning on buying a new vacuum today but our old trusty Shark died so after some looking, my wife decided on a Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal.
The amount of crap it pulled out of the carpet on the steps is incredible.
That's what I used on the steps.Dude, try it again with this nozzle at full throttle. It took dirt out of seats and carpets that I have never seen in my life.

50 records is good...and oh boy am I a big cowboy bebop fanboy (actually wearing a cowboy bebop shirt as I type this)Grabbed a handful of things over the last couple of months.

I really enjoyed the first AI Somnium Files game (and of course a new one was announced during the final Switch 1 Direct), so I picked up Nirvana Initiative not too long after beating the original title. I've also never had a Wipeout game, and after spending some time listening to the soundtrack, I knew I had to give it a proper shake.
With the Blu-Rays, I don't really watch as much anime nowadays as I used to, but Black Lagoon and Samurai Champloo hold special places in my heart, and I've been wanting to re-watch both series for a while now. I thinking of picking up the DVD/Blu-Ray sets for FMA and Cowboy Bebop later down the line, the latter of which serves as an excellent segue...

I'm not kidding when I say that the last 5 times I've visited one of my local record shops, I see L.A. Woman, pick it up, only to find 1-3 records that I want significantly more while shopping around, and end up putting it back. However, I finally was able to supress my lack of willpower enough to finally grab it, alongside the "Ein Edition" of the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, in which the first vinyl is White and the second is the destinctive Corgi shade of Brown.
With these two, I've hit the 50 record mark, which also serves as a nice stopping point for now, as the record holder I bought this past October is officially full to capacity.
I have the exact same Weber BBQ, except with a stainless grill. It lives outside all year with no cover and still works a treat.View attachment 1450483View attachment 1450484View attachment 1450485
47cm Weber Barbecue. Cast iron grill, brand new cover and a starter. All for low price of 30 Euros.

50 quality garden tiles for the backyard. 60x60cm. These were free. 3 years old, and they were destined for the dump. If I had to buy these it would been an easy 1000 Euros excluding shipping.

"That trip you're looking forward to is going to suck. You should just cancel it."Prepare for disappointment. London is a ********.
To be fair, I’m not a huge fan of our capital, but I’m not big on cities full stop. Every city has its good and bad points and London is no exception in that regard.Prepare for disappointment. London is a ********.
For the time being, we're planning on sticking around the city.@TB are you planning just hanging in the city or venturing a little further out? I can recommend Brooklands out towards Esher about a 40 to 50 min train out of the city.
Prepare for a good time. London is a lovely place you and your wife will enjoy.Apparently I have to be careful what I say to my wife. Next thing I know she booked this.

That’s not what I meant, sorry if it came off that way. It’s just that expectations don’t meet reality in London."That trip you're looking forward to is going to suck. You should just cancel it."
Are you planning to do the Tower of London?"That trip you're looking forward to is going to suck. You should just cancel it."
I didn't know skipping it was an option.Are you planning to do the Tower of London?
I didn't know skipping it was an option.
Yes, we'll be hitting the tourist trap stuff. If anyone has suggestions for slightly off the beaten path, I'm all ears!
