I think they must be AI, like Jonesteave or whatever its name is.

@Botch Opened in Luling. I haven't been to one.  We don't have them out here in West Texas.

luling?    Seem odd since they have one in Bastrop.   I’ll check it out next week.   

Yeah, was on the local news this morning out here.  lol

Sweet!    I’ll still do my best to check it out when I’m headed up to your area mext week!

Not my area!  lol we don’t get much out here in West Texas. 

Hahaha no, sorry, I’m headed to WTX next week but will check out the new Bucee’s on my way.

Upgrading my despised, old, worn out handheld mixer.

That should break up any clumps.

@DoubleEgger why did you dislike the old one so much?  Is the new gal that much better?

It was just worn out. The beater locking mechanism is in marginal condition at best and one of the beaters started to get a wobble in it. I called it the Hamilton Beeyatch 

I am looking forward to the coated beaters on the new model. The standard beaters are rough on bowls and too loud. Also, it has some balloon style beaters that will whip cream in two minutes. That’s faster than I can get the stand mixer set up. 

I’ve been on a mission to replace any crappy kitchen items that I have just lived with for some time. Life is too short to be pissed off at your kitchen tools.

I didn't realize they came in different flavors.

I ended up scoring some cheap ammo that I found on clearance for the range. I bought the last 3 boxes that were available. While the .22 is a cheap round from the start it's hard to pass up for 3 cents a round.

15 foot market umbrella

Just bought and replaced a car battery (preventive buy). The cost went up 33% in 4 1/2 years.  I figured the maker was jacking the price.   I then hit up the BLS inflation calculator and found where that increase tracks the inflation driven cost rise.  I did not think it was that high.  Ouch-

Is it Friday?

Somehow two pictures got selected. The first is by the road in my front yard. The second is a book that I found at a bookstore. I put it back because I have plenty of cookbooks. Then I found that today was 40% off on Amazoid. So it will arrive Saturday.

We eat there or get take out there almost weekly.  One time at the cashier for ordering I said about trying the special “I am sure it will be great, everything I have ever eaten here has been good.” And she laughed and said “well yeah isn’t that the point”. And it is so true at face value it wasn’t even arrogant.

No I didn't buy it, but saw this ash can w/drawer when I was looking up something else on amazon, and thought it looked pretty cool, $60.  The second video gives a good idea how it works.

Sheet music. My wife is a great sight reader and can play just about anything at first glance. Love listening with a cocktail. Only downside is that I pretty much need to twist her arm to do it. 

I waxed her piano this morning though, so I don’t feel too badly about it.

@GrateEggspectations If it was a Friday night one might think you were priming the pump with that comment “Waxed her piano”😉

Ozzie_Isaac

Totally dig Lana Del Rey …. can’t figure out her back story but love the moody, bluesy, jazz type pop music.

DoubleEgger

A capacitor for the AC condensing unit. Funny how AC units like to sh!t the bed on the hottest of days.
