Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

We need new end table lamps. The one's we have now belonged to my parents in the 70's. But end table lamps these days all seem to be weird stick-like things or round balls or some other such thing. Ugly.

Just make your own.

I retired 2 weeks ago and have spent many a hour since, in the shop and making lamps.
So far, I’m up to 4 made from anything from a guitar neck, old tube radio, tube testing equipment and a pine log.
Then I started to restore my great grand fathers hand wood working tools. Have to decorate the shop as well.

Kudos on your retirement.

I've been growing my smart home setup. It's a bit of a rabbit hole, but it's fun. I just added a permanent display for my weather station. Made from an old iPad that couldn't be used for anything else. Always fun stuff to do in retirement. I've been retired 2-1/2 years now and I love every minute of it.

I now know what my DW is getting for Christmas one of these years!!!

Back before we were married, I made a floor lamp for her out of a brake rotor and a 5-foot diesel camshaft from some sort of industrial generator or locomotive that wound up in a friend's junk yard. She put a metal hubcap on top for a lamp shade, and we still have it to this day next to the couch in our living room.....

I have two of those Diumunt floor lamps. They work just fine.

I wanted a lamp with a bit more character but the better half was not up for it....

It was time to update my home network. I picked this stuff up Sunday and today. The modem was a PITA! The router was very easy. I hope I get the speed I’m paying for.

Needed some new jeans. Went to Buckle. Had to ship some out of stocks. Should be set for awhile.

Hahaha! You sure should.

I also have a few graphic tees from there called 'Sublime'.

Haha. There were more i liked, but figured 10 pair and that total was sufficient. Haha. That sales person got a nice commission

I love their jeans!!

Hmm may have to check that out. I’m more boring with graphic tees. They had a bunch of jacket/pullovers I liked, but I have one side of my closet that is nothing but those. Need some like I need a hole in the head. 🤣

Amcrest 5MP PoE cam. Normally I have 8MP cams, I want one for the garage and shed interiors. No sense sticking an 8MP cam in those tight spaces. This 5MP cam is half the cost of the equivalent 8MP cam with the 20% off.
