What did you buy this week?

[tulenutn2o]

So finally got my plasma torches consumables in today as much as I dislike online purchases at least they give the "small fries" the time of day unlike a few local places. Plasma cutters good as new along with ordering extra consumables so mid projects I don't have to improvise .

I have gotten to the point where I am treated better by online sellers than locals too. It seems locals are indifferent to “small dollar”:counter sales. My favorite is, “we don’t have it in stock but we can order it”. I figure better for me to order it myself and save a trip back to pick it up.

The few stores I stopped at before going online never even bothered to call me back with prices or availability. I bought 2 of my tanks from one of those stores awhile back probably exchange or fill them elsewhere now.

edit:

Seal kits from earlier post installed on both Rhino tractors FEL cylinders, no more leaks on either machine - Very happy with that outcome.


Next, Should have bought one of these earlier.

FEL mount Chainsaw scabbard.

No more throwing the saw on top of the tools.



Also tired of, or more accurately Done buying expensive Keurig plastic pod coffee.

It ends up being stale even buying from different brands more often than not as of late.
Price has gotten way out of hand as well. .60- $1.00 a cup.

Fresh roasted beans should save about 70% or more versus the land filler K cups and also taste a whole lot better.


Going with a new Coffee machine, a Ninja "Luxe" Fresh ground beans every cup.
Latte-drip / espresso / cold brew unit. Got the three year warranty, really hope it works as well as the Shark vacuums we have had.

Last weekend was our 40th wedding anniversary, so I bought my wife a month of unlimited car washes.




(and some nice jewelry )

I ran into Harbor Freight today at work, cause I forgot a tape measure at the house... ended up with the 25 ft tape, and a 8 ton bottle jack. With inside track, it was $31 after taxes for a tape and the jack.

I have probably half a dozen jacks around, with varies things wrong or annoyances with them, at at like $19; I figured why not. It looks like it had a pretty decent range of travel.

Bought 3 500' string lines at hf for laying out Xmas tree rows and my new drip irrigation I'm installing. Compared to other places it was half the price.

I came to agreement with the neighbor to buy his adjoining 23ac.

Spare set of Gator blades for the ZTR. Nice to be able to swap them out, then sharpen at a convenient time.

I’m on strike except for a few Christmas gift purchases.

Slew of property taxes due that coincide with property insurance and auto registrations.

End September and early October I’m feeling kind of flush and then the bills roll in and reality hits home.

Nice pickup… don’t think I have ever seen one in person.

I get that same feeling this time of year as the large expenses on my rental ,properties all come in the first half of the year. I keep thinking "what have I forgotten to pay".

20# of boneless chicken breasts, 4 whole chickens, 10# of ground beef and some cookies.

Combine them all, make some meat flavored cookies

I have rocks, a lot of them, that have been hard to move efficiently. They are everywhere on my 240 acres. Some are as big as a Volkswagen Bug. I'd like to use them for retaining walls and other landscaping projects. My Kubota track loader works fine for some of them, the big ones I have had to just leave in place. This old Case 1150 came up for auction, and I threw a very low bid at it. To my surprise, I won it. It should move all but the biggest boulders on the property.

Stump Grinder, less expensive than renting or contracting out.

Bought a fuse amp meter tester from Harbor Freight.
I have a draw im trying to find on my dads truck and figured I'd give this a try.
Tested it on my BX work light circuit, I just added some led work lights and was curious about the actual draw.
Seems to work good for only $25

New blades for the JD x360.

 

[drumminj]

For some reason I feel like I should be buying some new mower blades...

For some reason I feel like I should be buying some new mower blades...

When I bought my Frontier GM1072R 18 years ago, I bought one spare set of blades for it. I'm still on the original blades and have not taken the spares out of the box yet.

For the Cub Cadet Ultima ZTXS5 54 I have three sets of CC high-lift blades, one set of CC mulching blades, one set of Oregon normal lift blades and two sets of Gator G5's.

Not sure what that means, just a fact.

 

[Too many Kubotas]

Bought a Dodge Durango.

New blades for the JD x360.

I bought new blades for the X500 last summer, new electro-clutch, and a new deck belt.

Recently noticed a lot of noise from the deck, so removed it. All the blades and spindles are fine, but the 2 pulley tensioner and both idlers are shot. Managed to misplace the parts manual, when I find it going to be buying bearings and since the idlers are riveted replacements for those. Seems like a good job for inside the garage when the snow is flying this winter.
