Thanks to @Botch's tool thread in OT, I got the fever and ordered some tools after going down some rabbit holes....

Lottery tickets. 

Coworker scratched off 2,000,000.00 a couple days ago. I’ll start looking for his replacement Monday. 53 with vested pension available at 59 1/2. I’m thinking his motivation has likely left the building. Good for him. 🥃

Very cool!  Perfect age to hit the loto.

That's not enough to quit if your coworker hasn't properly prepared for retirement. This could get them back to what they need plus pay off house, kids university, kids wedding, etc.

He’s already whole and has a pension coming in 6 years. It’s plenty in his case. Plenty.

I had a neighbor/ sisters best friend family hit the lottery at $180,000,000. With that much money you don't have to worry about your current wife, your kids, or any future weddings. The Dad bought a new Corvette, a new wife, and a brand new house on a premier lake in northern MN. 

$2 million sounds about perfect. Hell, I'll take $20 dollars.

Just picked up deboned meat from doe I shot last weekend. Slaughterhouse calls, your calf is ready……I might be buying a new freezer

SWMBO is planning a Disney trip. Reservations are being made. I poured a bourbon and asked not to be told what the final damage is.

Please everyone knows you are @JohninNola. (Nola means New Orleans, not the member you twisted people)

nolaegghead

We don’t know who that is.  Robin’s alter ego, probably.

Smart man.  Enjoy the the trip.  Knowing the cost is irrelevant now

Funny, I just bought a bag from the local Ace.

lousubcap

I took advantage on the on-line sale.  I may have stretched my "simplifying my life approach" a bit.  The nearest Ace for me is 15 miles away.  So, I just use the on-line option.  Besides the carrier is UPS so there's that!

I certainly could use it, but at $2 million I'm not quitting my day job. I would keep my mouth shut about it and live comfortably.  $180 million, I would let the money work for me.

Post tax, a lot of folks ain’t burning the bridge. This guy included. Pay off all debt. Travel for a month. Back to reality and live comfortably

I pulled a @nolaegghead , went looking for a GShock at REI and saw this BM Carbon Fiber Bugout with SV90 in the display case.  It was an "open box return" complaining about the release sometimes catching.  Well I looked it over, blade was centered, grind looked good, and action was completely smooth.  For $100 off, I was pretty happy.  Most annoying thing was they marked the CF scale with a paint pen so it didn't get mixed in with the new knives.  Not sure best way to clean it, but since this will be my new EDC it may just wear off.

nolaegghead

Nice.  You can’t hurt those scales.  Steel wool, sandpaper, whatever it takes.

I scored what I believe to be a Hobart Kitchenaid mixer for $20. It's missing a knob and the front attachment cap. (I believe I have a spare) The mixer itself is really clean or should I say will clean up nice after going through it. It will need new grease and a scrubbing. She purrs just like my other Hobart Kitchenaid mixer. (It's real quiet. I won't know if it's a true Hobart until I crack it open but it's identical in sound and the color is an almond. Hobart color area)

The most I've ever paid for a vehicle and hopefully the last time I'll ever have to buy a full-size SUV. 2022 Ford Expedition Limited. Now just a 3 month wait....

Shopping the www. /making lists for dall sheep hunting. I've been kicking the tires for about a year on booking a trip. I have slight anxiety about the hiking and elevation changes I’m very much a flat lander 
Re-visiting the gym, continuing with the Jiu jitsu for cardio and fully committing to quitting the sodas and other junk food…
also motivation to quit going up in pants sizes

Tuxedo shirts. Pleats, no pleats. Geez. I just need a shirt!

lousubcap

Pleats-much more styling with the pleats!
Edit:  I have always been a pleats tuxedo shirt guy but I am old so factor that in to my above comment.
