This on a smaller scale. A DIY project.

Going to use a Conex box?. They are great for this type of thing and you can get a decent 30' for around $3k.  We use them for tack and stuff.

@Ozzie_Isaac Haven’t even thought that far yet. 

Some outfits will even cut and modify them for you.  We just have them delivered and droppee off.  Add racks and stuff to the insides.  Water tight, mostly vermin proof, easy to lock up.  Can add multiple for larger sizes or more storage.  Like Lego blocks for adults.

Stuff I actually needed on clearance...

Went to the dark side and bought the new IPhone 12. 

This is the best/worst time to buy outdoor equipment here in MN. Most people want outdoor stuff gone so they don't have to store it for another winter. Like lawn mowers in the fall and snowblowers in the spring. Pressure washer go into the fall category. I came across this Honda pressure washer on Craigslist that has been listed for 3 weeks at $75. That just shows you how it's the best/worst time to buy outdoor equipment. Assuming they didn't want to store this thing over the winter season I offered $50. They said come and pick it up! 



The previous owner went electric and didn't have any use for it. He said it runs and everything works. I figure I was only out $50 if it was a complete pile of garbage. It had oil, air filter was clean, and no visual leaks. So I took it home. 

Once home it took 3 pulls and it fired right up. The previous owner said he started earlier this fall to make sure everything worked. I don't think it's seen any real abuse. The only petty issue I found was a small leak on the wand. I took it apart and found a torn o-ring. I replaced the o-ring and was back in business. It should be a nice little pressure washer. It's far from anything commercial wise. Not too many bells and whistles with it and only being 2400 PSI. It should work for light duty cleaning around the house. I already cleaned the dirt bike,  Karubecue, and egg grids with it. Now I'm the one who has to winterize and store it....

I ordered some stupid plastic oil bottles for the kitchen.  I've gone thru at least 3 metal oil cans, all leaked, and the plastic squeeze bottle I got at the Asian market also leaked, around the screw-top.  It can't be that *%^#! hard!
 
Oxo Good Grips had a two-bottle set for $9; their stuff is usually bulletproof, I hope so.  

Ceramic is way to go I think. 

My Oxo's arrive tomorrow, I'll let you know Tues if I go ceramic.  

Ordered a Thermapen MK4,  hope its more accurate than my Javeline duo pro.  had it for two years, started getting random readings so I put new battery and no change.  Figured it was time to buy the MK4 since everyone seems to be using them.

I've had a few Javelins for a few years. No problems (that I didn't cause at least) so far.

Is it still under warranty? I had one of the original pocket size models fail at about a year old and they replaced it hassle free.

I sent them an email about it to see if they will warrant it if I get a replacement that would be great but I figure I got my money out of it in two years time because it certainly gets used almost daily.   Bought the thermapen with reward points from bank card and they gave me 10% off for signing up for emails.  Pretty good deal I thought.
