Plaquers, peanut butter crunchy, with nutella.
 
I ordered a replacement purge bulb for my Shindaiwa T-262 string trimmer. $4.10 plus shipping. I ordered two while I was ordering. I'm certain I ordered two last time. It's good to have a spare if only you knew where you put it. :)
The purge bulbs I ordered the 19th of last month arrived at my local sorting facility. It is not listed as being out for delivery. It would have been delivered in three of four days if shipped in a padded envelope with a dollar stamp. Crazy slow delivery

I have a couple of items I ordered over the weekend that will likely show up before the bulbs. I ordered some bike brake mineral oil, two heavy duty tire tubes, and a replacement robe.
 
The purge bulbs I had ordered were delivered today. 15 days in transit seems a bit slow. They were shipped USPS Ground Advantage. I'm glad they weren't shipped disadvantage.
 
Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man.
Well, I happened to be married to the girl of my dreams. I'm dressing up because my daughter is getting married. I bought all this because I'm so happy to be father of the bride!

Okay, this was probably the most unique purchase we have ever made, or will ever make, at a yard/garage/estate sale.

We bought an entire brick wall.

The Darling Bride has some landscaping to do and wanted landscaping bricks. Big box hardware place wants $3 each for the 10-inch bricks with the scalloped, humpy top edge.

I stopped at an estate sale just to see what they had, in case the Darling Bride might see something of interest: but I noticed a stack of landscape bricks next to the garage door. "Are you, by chance, selling those bricks?"

"How many do you want?"

"How many do you have?"

She pointed to a WALL of them. Two for a dollar!

After consulting the Darling Bride, we bought ALL of them and disassembled the wall, brick by brick, and I made trips with my SUV. 300 bricks later, I think we have enough for her landscaping needs... and if we have a surplus, we can always sell them for a dollar each.

Twenty eight years ago, my sister and brother-in-law built a new home. I had just recently acquired a 32" school bell, it's yoke, and wheel. I was gifted the leftover bricks from my sister's home and I planned on using them to make some sort of surround / flower bed around the bell at some point. I managed to pour a concrete base for the bell and my son's football team carried the bell over and set it in the yoke. Fast forward to this summer... I finally moved the stack of bricks from my drive to the back of my home. I hope you have better luck with your landscape bricks @The_Chief 🤣
