It is so worth it, after playing with it these past few days or so, it is like a second musclar memory to my right hand.
And I am lefty, subconsciously handcafted mice to my right hand anyways, a lot less distraction.

A new bus pass for March. $55USD.

I get mine through my work for US$50.

I put down the jack to secure a party room for a meet and greet at my local VFW. Do I dare mention it's for my 50th class reunion?

Cat or dog? How old is s/he? How healthy?

I've had two diabetic cats. If you're new to this and want to talk, I'm here.

I needed stamps. Like one sheet--which would easily last a year...but once I tried to decide on a design, well, here's the result:

I dare you to guess when I grew up. And you'd better not say the 1870s! I got the Transcontinental Railroad stamps because I love trains--not because I remember it being built!

This guy. He's 12 now and has a glucose level close to 600 before we caught it. I'm giving him 8 units 2x/day now and his readings are under 300. Thanks, but I'm getting quite good with the syringe.

Aw...he's cute. Yeah, insulin shots are easy-peasy, and quick! What's his target glucose level?

I'm just curious, was he peeing a lot, or losing weight, or was it found at a regular checkup?

I noticed it first when he had an accident in his crate. Then we noticed the drinking and the need to pee much more frequently. We really didn't notice a weight loss until I took him to the vet and they said he was 2 pounds lighter than he was at his regular checkup in December, which, for a 20 lb. dog is 10% of his body weight.

They want to get his fasting glucose level under 200. We do blood work twice a month until we can get things stabilized.

And now, back to the thread topic ...

My latest purchase:

Tempered steel wire for a little project I am working on.

 

[Bearsyzf]

Okay, I'm curious now

 

[lunatic59]

Okay, I'm curious now

So not to derail the thread any further, I'm going to start a thread which might draw some additional interest, but is not about purchases.

Post your inventions.

 

[MoodyBlues]

Thanks for the info, @lunatic59. I hope you'll keep us posted on his condition.

And now, back to the thread topic ...

Party pooper!

Is it me or do those shoes bring to mind something else?

 

[Bearsyzf]

@lunatic59 lol, they are the Jordan 13 2020 Chinese New Years.

 

[olbriar]

I would have never thought about you buying a pair of shoes @Bearsyzf. Work or dress? ...or just another pair for the collection?
Just out of curiosity, where do you keep your collection? Are the shoes worn on a rotation or are they kept in their box and stored?
I'm in no way making light of your obsession with nice shoes. I had a daughter very much caught up in shoes. With no children and living in a three bedroom home, she kept her collection in their original box with a card that had date of release, purchase date, price, and such all neatly noted on note cards in each box. They all resided in a spare room that had shelving just for her shoes. It looked much like a shoe store but she could tell you every little detail about each box and the shoes within.

[mikedt]

A brand new Commodore C64 computer.

 

[lunatic59]

Was that before or after you bought the Tardis?

 

[mikedt]

^^^^

After.

 

[lunatic59]

That's about $85 U.S. That's quite a bargain considering they cost $600 back in 1982.

I purchased an air compressor today. Between my mow trailer and all of my mowers it seems I am always in need of some air. I bought this same model last year for use at my cabin and home but it seems when I need it, it's at the other place.

Most of the smaller compressors like this one are self lubricating and take no oil. I've not had much luck with that type and purchased this model for it requires oil. Besides, the self lube compressors are super noisy.

These are for when I have to chain up (which is a last resort in my book), they help hold the chains to the tire and are supposed to prevent the chain from slipping off.
