This for my gerd and a bunch of groceries.. apples, and a few healthy snacks... BURP
 
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.
 
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 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).
 
I have another pair of Keen sandals ordered. I love these shoes and almost exclusively wear them in the summer months. I have a pair that I consider dress shoes. I have a pair for every day wear. I have a pair that are my bike shoes. I have a pair that are my mowing shoes but they have finally worn out. They are too slick to get up and down the ramp to my trailer. I hate to replace them but it's time.

I ordered a couple of new garden hoses today. I mow for a guy that has these hoses and I've had to roll them up to mow and put them back out in the yard when I'm done a couple of times. I admired how easy they were to move around and not kink or tangle. I asked and was informed he bought them on Amazon so I now have a couple hoses arriving tomorrow.

Just be careful with the ends, they pop off way too easy. If you get any drag pulling from the end, let go and untangle whatever it is hung up on. :(
