CZ Shadow 2

I've debated about one, but with being left handed I lean towards  ami  or converted to left..... I'very got my eye on a hkp30l  right now

I have a vp9 that I love, it is crazy how accurate that thing is. Ergonomics and everything, it is so smooth. If the vp9 is that good, I can only imagine how sweet the p30 is.

We have some rules and limitations  up here for firearms, things like pistol mags pinned at 10 and barrels longer than 4.25 or so.

I have this. It’s great. You can go on amazon and sign up to get new brush heads really cheap too.

Replacement chromebook for the kid.  Has to hit up Costco after learning that the 2 year warranty my in-laws got at Best Buy isn’t really 2 years if you have to use it.

Just got a Dillion xl650 I’m ready to do some hardcore reloading

Nothing right now- but given a FedEx (packages landed correctly) double header of lamb ribs and SRF Black brisket the past couple of days, I need to cool the purchases.  That said, eatin' well down-stream.

Left handed here and got the P30 when it first came out. The paddle mag release works great for lefties. By far the most ergonomic pistol I own.

Been watching eBay for a year for a good price on my first and probably last fine watch. Waiting for links to come in for steel strap.

Just bought another new spinning reel...I can’t get enough.

Also couldn’t wait till Black Friday...got a small instapot.

@BigreenGreg Something to consider- If you like decent to quite good watches, once you acquire the high-ender then you will feel compelled to no longer buy any of the great but perhaps slightly less quality time-pieces.  You will become self-prisoned by that time-piece.  As long as you are good with that, then buy as many as you will enjoy.  FWIW-

Edit:  I speak from personal experience as I am rolling into year 42 (yes, I'm old) with the same watch and it is a wind-up.

It’s definitely a slippery slope. I bought a good friend a Tag years ago for helping me do a bunch of work around the house. He’s got 25 Tags and 6 Breitlings now.

For 34 years I had to have a certain type of watch for work.  I believe 3 brands made the cut.  I also had to have it calibrated each year.  Since retirement I've not wore one, and I don't intend to the rest of my life.

@bucky925 How do you know the day of the week/date these days or are you wired to your phone??

Big fat paper = Sunday....count forward or backwards from there.  rofl

@DoubleEgger did you have a special service on demand enhancement with that watch??  Very nice gesture but dang.

I hope he is getting the remainder on the street corners of NYC-deep discounts right there.

Nah. He’s just a good friend who helped me out. His help was easily worth a basic $1500 Tag. No fakes for this guy. He’s done really well for himself and that’s his vice these days.

Finally got my chrome back and finished assembling my 1968 Koken President

A new alarm clock.  The current one is down to one working button.  Slow advance.  I hate all alarm clocks, but that basterd has seen its last days.

Don’t go stirring Bitterman up. He will go on a might about it. We need to just let it go. Prolly wasn’ digital either.

I get too much work related crap at all hours of the night.  I know there’s a do not disturb function.  Also, when I wake up thru the night I like to be able to see what time it is without Effin with picking up a phone.

An Amazon Echo replaced my alarm clock. Just have to make sure you specify AM or PM when you tell Alexa to set an alarm. Also like having "her" tell me the time rather than having to try and read a fuzzy, blurry clock without my reading glasses on.

@HeavyG surprised Alexa doesn't do a 24 hour clock...

I'm glad that works for you @HeavyG, but that whole echo/alexa thing is incredibly creepy to me.

Tried that.  I don’t like to speak to it when I wake up.  Also, too much noise from the box fan.

She might. I just assumed, incorrectly as it turned out, that when I went to bed at midnight and said to "set an alarm for seven thirty" she would be smart enough to understand AM was meant. When I woke up at 9:00AM I learned her IQ was not higher than mine (and I set a pretty low bar to begin with).
