What did you buy this week?

[MossRoad]

My swim ankle straps arrived and I've been using them for a little over a week now. They work great! 24' pool makes it hard to do laps! Three strokes, hit the wall. Repeat.

So I bought these. I hook them to the deck railing and off I go. I started easy but quickly got up to 1/2 an hour at a time. Very nice. The cord is long enough that I can stand in the pool to put them on or take them off with a couple feet of slack. I can do breast stroke, free style and back stroke, so lots of versatility.

I also bought a version that is a waist belt VS the ankle straps. That arrived yesterday. Will try it out this week and see which one I like better.

That does nothing to/for the ethanol in gas. It's just more alcohol to absorb the water that ethanol has an affinity for.

I haven't used it yet. But my buddy who is a excellent mechanic with lots of old equipment swore by it for preventing the problems caused by ethanol gas in small engines.
In the last year I have replaced the carburetor in a weed wacker, a lawn mower, a rototiller. We don't have Ethanol Free option in CA. Enough is enough.

Thanks for the link. I’m going to try some.

2026 Kia EV9. Yes, it's all electric. Replaced my wife's 2017 Expedition EL Platinum. This one is not the higher trim level, but it is the long range model. They say 300 miles on a charge.

Somehow I feel a little snooty with this vehicle.

My wifes Equinox EV has a projected range of 307 miles, I'd say not to take it to heart very much.
Hers does good in the summer but the AC does suck it down a bit.
I expect that being in Louisiana winter weather won't be a real big issue but up here when it gets quite cold the range drops real fast, 100-120 mile round trip is the maximum we will attempt with her car. Now that is only charging to 80% and planning on being home with 20% left for just in case. About like not letting a gas vehicle get under a 1/4 tank.

Got this from my Exmark dealer today to demo for the weekend. Looking to upgrade from my Exmark Quest. Comes with a 2 bag ultravac, 450 hours used at the local community college. It’s a Radius S series 48. I think I’m going to buy it.

Wow. 25 pounds is a lot of peppermints.

Maybe he has a problem with bad breath.

Bought 5 japanese maples to plant. All different varieties. Now the fun part of debating where to plant them.
