Want to go in on two?  We could each split the savings.

The specs on that thing are kind of insane.  I'm not sure what you're planning to do with it…

I’ll openly admit, this is far more computer than I need (photo editing is as deep as I go).  What was the critical spec for me?  The physical Width!  It is over 14” wide.
It’s replacing my eleven-year-old MB Air, 13” screen (12.5” width).  That damn thing kept slipping between my legs, to the right or left, for eleven years and I really got tired of it (I’m 6’5”, 240 lbs, 37” inseam).  The 16” Pro will sit ON my lap, not in it (a 16” MacBook Air would’ve been perfect for me, but they don’t make one).  
First-world problem?  No doubt.  It will serve my needs, both as a laptop and a desktop “brain”, for hopefully another eleven years, by which time I should be dead.  I’m making more money now than when I was working, so I have to spend it on something.   . 
The larger, XDR screen will also be of great benefit to me, editing photos (and battling aging eyes); the high-def screen on my newish 13” iPad Pro has been amazing to me.

New MacBook Pro.  16”, M1 Pro chip, 1 TB SSD.  Owch.

Does it have the ability to download bbq forum pictures?

Comes with a photobucket subscription.

Just ordered some Xtratuf boots for fishing, duck camp, etc… I've heard these are pretty comfortable!

Freezer for 1.5 beef cows.   Thanks for closing one of your stores Tim Hortons!

Did Timmy sell their freezers too?

It is a freezer that they let an appliance Tech keep as the store was ceasing operations.  I bought from the tech.

That’s good to hear, how’s the insole support?? Wondering if I need to add some new insoles.

Not sure, I haven’t paid much attention to insoles in general, I must be lucky.  What can tell you is I can put them on without bending over and assisting. That was exactly what I was looking for.

Just ordered a "drinks-by-the-dram-advent-calendar-bourbon-american-whiskey" as a Xmas present for my oldest son.  Tried a domestic supplier but that company did not ship to Kentucky??
Ended up going thru a company based in England.

Someone is planning quite the hootenanny. Brisket camp, I presume. 

Welcome @ForumDestroyer

At the optometrist, will be ordering new glasses before I leave.

Nice! Big fan of the inforce light and you can’t go wrong with Magpul 

All mounted up. The Magpul rail sits a little high, I think. It puts the light a little far away from my finger to be comfortable. Might buy another Sig rail and see if it cuts some of that down.
