My wife had a desire for a couple of bookcases for a bedroom. She shopped her local options but we resorted to Amazon for the specific size she wanted. They arrived Friday, were well made with all things considered, easy to assemble, and came with extra fasteners.

Finally got my hair cut today wooo..
I ordered two 128gb flash drives from Amazon. I only need one but storage is so cheap nowadays I thought I will duplicate my backup on both drives. I can remember when a 100mb drive was huge. 🤣
I bought a desk chair from Costco. It sits so different than the worn out chair it is replacing that it's awkward to sit in. I will build up some great leg muscles trying to get this thing to tilt back. Adjusted to have the least amount of tension, it still feels like the tilt is locked. 
At least I can sit on it without slowly sinking to the floor and there is some cushion to sit on and some lumbar support.

I picked up a key keeper and some g-biners.
I have an addiction with keychains and keyrings.

I have many key rings with many keys. Most of them I have no idea what they go to now. I went through those rings of keys in search for the spare keys to the locks on my mow trailer. Three locks to deter theft of equipment and my gas can. The mow keys are on the mow keyring but I can't find the backup keys. Not good. I think they were in my truck that was totaled and now are gone. However, I can't imagine leaving them in the truck when I grabbed up the other multiple keyrings. I'm afraid it's new locks or new duplicate keys asap.
I just bought a Yaesu FT-7800R mobile VHF/UHF transceiver from the daughter of a silent key (ham radio operator who passed away). It's an emotional transaction for her, because this was the last of the ham radio gear of his to sell. I assured her that I would give it the honor and dignity it deserves and be a worthy successor of his vehicle's radio. All I need now is a good antenna for my Explorer.
That's not a bad radio. I've had a few Yaesu's in the past, an 8900 and a couple of 8800's. The main difference is that the 8xxx models were dual-receive so you could have simultaneous reception on two frequencies on either the same or mixed bands. The 7xxx is single-receive so only one at a time. It only matters if you have a need to monitor two channels. Nowadays my mobile and base radios are Icoms.
Plenty of antenna options, depending on whether you are willing to drill a hole in the body and what your communication needs are (local repeaters, simplex etc).
