What did you buy this week?

[LouNY]

I've found that often when it wouldn't take a correct address it was a syntax that it couldn't handle, ie. county road, Cty road., or street instead of road.

Or can you use your phone, bluetoothed into your radio.

Try formatting on your laptop/desktop first, may need fat32 or some other format type to work.

Yes, you see, that is part of the problem.
I have no idea what that means.
I read TBN and surf.
That's all I know how to do.

In all seriousness, find a kid to help you. And by kid, I mean someone under 40.

My wife was having some issues with Hulu through our allegedly smart TV remote. Our 32 year old grabbed the remote and showed her how to do the task pretty quickly. As a former I.T. nerd, I was proud of the kid.

Interesting little purchase which ended up requiring another small project.
Bought a Setpower Fridge/Freezer to carry in the truck for trips and grocery shopping. I thought my fancy pickup had a DC power outlet in the bed along with the bed lighting, but no it didn't.
So I bought a wiring harness that was plug and play with the pickup, it's a 5th wheel harness that tee's into the bumper trailer harness and parallels it so the bed mounted trailer connector and the bumper one are both usable.
Then I've ordered a power outlet to 7 pin adapter.

plug harness at the bumper,

Had to bore a 2" hole in the inside of the bed for the 7 pin connector and then route the harness up to it and plug it in. It was a long reach up in between the inner bed and fender area to plug in the connector.

Installed connector in the truck bed ready to go,

Just waiting for the fancy adapter to come in,

It is supposed to be a light checker and 4 or 5 pin adapter as well as a power outlet.

To simplify my TV viewing I added Roku devices to all my ‘smart’ TVs. One simple common remote & interface across three TVs. I highly recommend the ones with volume control for $10 more.

Looks really well integrated.
Does the adapter have a fuse?

I don't believe so, the fridge/freezer has it's own protection. It's a SetPower DT45. The power feed on the 7 pin has a 40 amp fuse in the trucks fuse block.

Deere 6120M with IVT transmission and 620R self leveling loader. Been hunting for a long time.

Went to Menards and got all the sch 80 pvc pieces and stainless steel hardware hopefully I need for the canopy. Sch 80 is pretty thick. The Surecan yellow 5 gallon finally showed up. Plumbersstock has the cheapest price if anyone is looking.

Canopy for what? Sched 80 will soften in direct sunlight

Wow! I could live in that thing. I'd probably have to in order to afford it.

A new wheel balancer came in yesterday. I ordered it three days ago. I haven't assembled yet but it's out of the crate. This is replacing an old Snap-on model WB-400 that's showing its age.

Hate to show all you guys up, but this was the buy of the week. Four diesel cans and one gas can (not shown). All like new WITHOUT the spring-loaded "non-spill" spouts and with vents installed. $5 each.

Top that!

You could flip the centers if you wanted to.
Nice looking machine even if it's green. hope it works well for you.

2019 low miles XT250. I will sell my old WR250R. The old bike just sits too high even with lowering adjustments and a Yamalink installed. I found as I got older I'm dropping the WR more. I'm farkle-ing this one up with a skid plate, tail rack on order and possibly heated grips if I can't get them off my old bike.

Regular old post hole diggers, the "cheap" ones are $40+, and i upgraded to Dewalt, heavier ones, dang $65. Seems awful high for plain old post hole diggers....
