Because I'm old and can't even turn a wrench or screwdriver any more, I picked up this 1/2" drive cordless impact driver for under $50 as an Amazon pre-black Friday flash sale a few days ago:

It doesn't come with a battery or charger, but uses Dewalt 20V batteries and I have a few spares. The specs claim that it does 950 ft-lbs as a breaker and 900 ft-lbs as a tightener, but I wouldn't take that to the bank.

The first use was to break bolt holding the almost-Mighty Freightliner's steering wheel to the column, which I couldn't break with a 12" breaker bar and cheater pipe because I'm too old and weak. It removed the bolt without much struggle, despite the factory using blue thread-locker during the original assembly process.....

Well the new kitties are here. Have to bottle them up in a small extra bathroom as introducing kittens to existing cats is a delicate process. The big one in the photo of the cat tree on the last page is a tad jealous so slow and easy does it. OK, here is Pumpkin (larger female) and Simba. Simba is a terror already.

Yes Scottish folds. We are currently in the stage of letting the kittens roam free and hoping the big cat doesn't eat one of them.

BTW they GAVE us the carrier with the cats.

Thumbs up

For my Cologne lovers... I own a few different related scents as this and this is truly the Season to wear them. Mancera is a incredible fragrance house and their scents are delicious! I also own Amore Cafe from them which too is exquisite.

Not the best pic, but it's a 77" LG C3 it was soopah cheap so I got it. Didn't realize how bad the paint lines are until I looked at this photo. I hate painting, bring back wood paneling already.

I picked up one of these guys. I had an orange one before that stopped working (I left it underneath a snow shovel over the winter. The water got into one of the pistons and stopped pumping). I ended up selling the old jack for what I bought it for

I probably won't use this thing that often. But, can't find a decent low-profile jack for $90.

I picked up the LG 77" C4. Picture is amazing. I have the C3 series in the bedroom. Of course, I had to pick up a new surround sound/sound bar and 4k blu ray player to complete the trifecta.

Nice! I was going to get either the C4 or the Samsung S90D but the sales guy literally sold the last Samsung to the person in front of me, so I didn't want to wait. I also got a new Nvidia Shield Pro because I hate the WebOS on the LG and the nvidia is better for managing apps etc.

Refurbed Canon EF 24-105 F/4L II

I sold my version I 24-105 several years ago with the intention of buying the version II. But I never did get one and I've missed it. So today they dropped the price of the refurbs in half and I grabbed one. Can't wait to start shooting with it again.

I understand that the V2 is much better than the first. Enjoy!

Hoping so, although the V1 was no slouch. Was definitely my favorite lens.

180 degree PoE cam. I can only mount one cam for the back yard at this point, so hopefully this will cover the whole area.

ShopVac I'm sure she'll be fine after the first espresso, cappuccino or latte, her next response may be "only if you're the one to clean it".

I don't have a picture of Chez Vreihen handy, but my DW and I went to the bank this afternoon with three shiny pennies to pay off the remaining balance on our mortgage to officially buy our house. The bank's app would not let me pay the entire balance online (hence still owing $0.03), because they needed us to come in and pay in person to sign papers and pay some title/transaction fees to remove them as a lien holder.....

Congratulations on being mortgage free! It's a great feeling.
