A Mt. Dew bottle of zero sugar,
a few dishes, Chiplote for lunch vegan style, the guy did not order any more chicken,
what else did I get on my vacation, mostly just food.

Tires. Four of them.
I'm not sure how, but I took a nail in the sidewall. Not repairable. I'd had these tires on my Explorer for 90,000 miles and still had 5/32" tread... which is borderline replacement time.
Thankfully, Costco has an incredible tire program. $80 off the set, plus 5 years of road hazard warranty, plus lifetime rotation & balance, plus nitrogen. Installation included. Ordered the tires and they were on my vehicle the next day. Just under $1200 for the set of Bridgestone Alanza AS Ultra tires and they ride like a dream.

It's too bad that I don't ride my bike in your area. I would have all of the nails picked up in short order.
Congrats on the new tires!I ordered some more electrolyte drinks last night.

I added another tool to my Ryobi 40V collection: a cordless wet/dry vac
That sucks
... and blows!
I bought a new 4x6 American flag. The weather has frayed the existing flag. They last about a year in the Kansas wind.

Awesome man, I have not bought any flags at all currently.
I've always flown our flag. There was a mount on the house when I bought it and I used it for years. It finally broke and I put up a flagpole in the yard. It's a 20 foot pole so I can display a 4'X6' flag. I see quite a few flags while out riding my bike. Makes me smile.
Looks like my desktop's 2TB C: drive SSD is quickly giving up the digital ghost. I had to choke down money for a "cosmetic imperfection" one from Amazon. It will be here tomorrow: hopefully I can clone the data off the old one without having to start all over again.
Update:
After about 20 minutes I got the computer to the desktop and ran diagnostics on the drive. I looked up the SSD purchase on Amazon and was surprised to learn that I've had it for 8-1/2 years! Yeah, I think this one has earned its retirement... new one will be here tomorrow.

A can of monster energy drink.
Picked me up some summer hats.
The wife came home with some sort of bake me Mexican dish with beans and rice and chicken from Costco. I asked her to get something but I had no idea what. Something that Treb was bragging up. Chicken Enchiladas. They are baking in the oven now.
In thirty years of mowing, I'm now on my third Aussie Breezer
One should be retired that I wear daily, one is in worse shape and hangs in my trailer at the river, and my first breezer blew off my head and got mowed.
I've got a few wide brimmed hats that I'll wear in cold weather. Im liking the short brims more these days.
I like the cut of your hats. I wear the wide brimmed hats to keep the sun off of my ears while mowing.
I had to buy ANOTHER SSD and return the one I got yesterday.
I plugged it into a SATA adapter and ran a S.M.A.R.T. test on it. Pre-fail, old-age, absolutely worn out! I suspect it was used in a crypto mining rig, worn out and sent back within the return window... and Amazon just repackaged it as an open-box return without testing it. I started the return; included a sticky note on the drive explaining that it's ready for recycling, not resale; and ordered a brand new SSD.
Lesson learned: never trust "used, like-new" flash memory of any kind.
