What did you buy this week?

[Fuddyduddy1952]

I bought a nice vacation for us in North Myrtle Beach. A very nice motel "Bay Watch" and I lucked out getting an apartment instead of a room for wife & me. Two bedrooms, baths, kitchen, living room, laundry. One bedroom you could hear ocean waves off of balcony.
Really nice restaurants & great time.

A sun hat for gardening and a neck fan. I have 1800’ of sweet corn to hoe… and it’s 90+ degrees.

Throw in 100’ of beans and 256 pumpkin vines… I’ll be busy.

A pair of rear rotors for my 23 Titan from AMZN.

OMG we bought a mattress today for a price that would choke a horse

https://www.saatva.com/mattresses

Good luck with that saatva. I wound up with 2 (one taking up space in the garage)... wife bought one in CA that was OK, if a little soft & "hot" for my taste. When we bought a house in FL, ordered a second one based on the first. Could not sleep on it as it was way too soft & I could barely walk in the morning from back pain. Replaced that with a Sealy after about 3 months that is a little firmer, but nothing like the 50 year old Sealy queen in the guest room. Still like a rock slab after 50 years. I had the same reaction in the Mattress Firm store ... asked the salesman if for that price they provided a partner to use the bed properly. Why is everything "memory foam" these days? No ventilation, sleeps hot, & soft compared to the old "coil spring" set-ups I grew up with.

They have a wide selection of firmness and composition. The foam beds are the softest and the coil spring beds are the coolest. We got a hybrid. There also recommendations on their website for people who are back or side sleepers or sleep hot...plus a 1 yr return window. Reviews were good. Fingers crossed of course.

Did some garden tilling and weeding this weekend that I had put off due to rain for weeks. Made me remember the days of wanting to get out of having to hoe the garden, yet there I was with a hoe and nobody was standing over me telling me to do it.

I spent two days this weekend shirtless working in the hot sun all day long still building this massive pool she bought. I am as as red as a lobster and pretty uncomfortable right now. As much as I despise having an office job, times like this it pays off.

Been there done that. But...
So does a little common sense. Sunburn produces skin cancer

I have spent so much time outside as a youth that my shoulders use to bleed from sunburns. I spent a lot of time diving in the ocean as a kid. And I do usually try to stay protected as much as possible now but it has been in the 90's here with no wind and no shade, I couldn't handle a tshirt in that.

Refurbished Bose Acoustic Wave Music System II, which were made from 2006 thru 2017 as far as I know.

We've had a little 2002 Bose Wave clock radio in a book-shelve and it's time to move it to upstairs bedroom.
Pretty nice & compact design and we have mainly used it as a FM radio to listen old country music in the background!
