I bought 6 bags of driveway patch, just have to go pick them up.
With the heavy rains, comes the heavy damage to the asphalt.

Picked up a Harbor Freight McGraw 2hp 8 gal, compressor for $166. Decided to go with the 150 psi, oilless one, over the 135 psi oiled. I had the 2hp 8gal Black one, Pittsburgh or maybe Chicago Electric, but its acting up.

Just got one of these Bushwhacker ATV bags for the 2520. This attaches to the seat hinge rod and hangs right under the front of the seat. I needed a place to put keys, garage door opener, camera, etc. They make a couple of different models/styles of these for bikes and ATV's.

I bought this yard box on Monday for a good price since it is damaged.

I'm going to cut off the damaged top link apron and either fix it and put it back on or replace it.

A new kitchen faucet with pull out sprayer, and a water filler spout to go where the old pull out sprayer was located. The filler spout will be connected directly to the well water, before the soft water. Right now, the only way to get non-softened water is to go down to a spigot in the basement. Eventually I'll tap that same line for the ice maker.

 

[masseyrider]

Went to Costco earlier today.
Intention was probably aboot $4-50.
Ended up over $400.
That place sucks money out of my pockets like a large commercial vacuum.
Other than groceries and some bits and bobs their is nothing to get excited aboot.

Pillows. Not been sleeping well lately on my costco "down alternative" pillows. Figured it's worth investing some money in a good night's sleep.

Have $400 in pillows coming the next couple of days to see what the fuss is about with the expensive ones. It's hard because I'm a side + stomach sleeper, so basically need the firmest but softest pillow somehow :/

I had to take down some walnut trees the other day and I had them sawed up.
