Ok so I didn't technically buy it as I did not pay for it, but I did get it recently. If you don't know what it is it's some fancy schmancy bluetooth mug that is suppose to keep your beverage warmed up to the temp you set.

It's honestly one of the most ridiculous and useless things I own and I own a lot of stupid shit. While it technically does keep my coffee warm, it hold such little coffee that there's no point in trying to keep it warm because it goes down in a couple sips. I believe they make bigger ones, but I ain't spending any $$ on that.

6 tickets to an event supporting local police explorers. Seems I'll be traveling in time and space to Havana Friday night! Open bar, local distributors with their wares, finger food, and cigars. All covered with the price of admission.

I don't believe so although we rarely use the dishwasher. It has a power button and metal charging stuff on the bottom.

Gorilla Ladders 5.5' step ladder. I have a smaller version that's mostly for indoor use, so when I saw this one at Home Depot, I grabbed it. The strange thing was it was shrink wrapped and in a bay behind a cable. I ask one of the store guys if I needed someone to get this for me or if I could just grab one and he said the cable was there to keep them from tipping over into the aisle. He said to just go ahead and grab one myself. So I did. Brought it up and had one of the checkout folks scan it and off I went. I got home and cut off the shrink wrap and bigger than shit there were two ladders inside. I knew that had to be a mistake. Then I saw a small sticker on the shrink wrap that said "Ladders Sold Separately." So the store folks apparently didn't realize this 2-pack was meant to be split up before selling them. Being the honest person I am (another thing learned from my parents), I went back to the store and paid for the second ladder. I'm keeping it for my brother who got me hooked on Gorilla Ladders in the first place.

Funny Father story - when mine was still alive - be bought a blu-ray player. The reason? Because he kept accidently buying the blu-ray version western DVD's from the bins at Wal-Mart, so he just gave up and bought a cheap Blu-Ray player. Of course the non-high tech redneck that he was - he could not get it to work. So I went to set it up for him and it had some weird wiring deal (I can't recall) because he of course bought the $17.59 blu-ray player being the tight old man he was.

So I say - Dad, give me the receipt - I'll take it back and get you a decent one and pay the difference for your tight ass. He gives me the receipt - it's not on there. He'd only been to Wal-Mart once in the last month, so this was the right one. As I got questioning him - he used the self check out. LMAO - he didn't scan it and walked right out with it.

I had a good story for the returns lady...........

unluky, let's hope your username doesn't come back to bite you...those employees at Walmart are on top of their game, right? Perhaps sell it on Facebook, Craigslist or eBay and then go back and upgrade!

I bought a 14" diameter bar stool pad to go over it. I hope it helps. Right now the ~$35 bar stool I bought at Walmart is more comfy to sit on than this $160 beast.

Shame, my roller stool craftsman was like $30 at ace hardware and is super comfy to sit on.


Now that my sons JCW r53 we bought as a project 3 weeks ago runs right with no check engine light, I removed the non working MINI iPod adapter to get the factory Sirius back working on it and installed an aux jack last night. On the way back from returning him to his mom’s for the week, I stopped by Walmart and got a 3 foot aux cable, lightning to headphone adapter, and this $10 magnetic /pop socket mount that comes with two plates, small for iPod and larger for phones.

In addition to the non-working iPod adapter, His car also came with a pre broken MINI accessory cup holder, so I used the remnant as a base and removed the threaded stud part from the vent mount. Combine the two and…

Tada! A useful upcycle that only cost me 15 minutes to make, $10 in parts and at least looks like it’s conceivably a period dealer accessory.

I bought a 14" diameter bar stool pad off Amazon and it fit perfectly and makes it much more comfy. Still, for that kind of money, you'd think they could have included more padding on an otherwise rock solid stool.

I know it says no weapons and with my inept home gardening and cleaning skills these might be skirting the edge of that limit but I'm testing the mods.

Got two of these.

Also bought my airline ticket to Thailand next January. Dayum prices have risen. But I found one non-stop from Vancouver and had to try that. One looooooooong (15 hours) flight versus two long flights.

It's from Amazon, I'll add link below. The chair is pretty good so far. Kind of a pain to put together alone because it's heavy but was able get it done. It seems very sturdy and says could hold up to 400lbs. I'm 180lbs but liked the idea of the footrest, tilt back and the build seemed quality. It's pretty comfortable as well.

I'm happy with this model but thinking I maybe should have gotten the one 9291 with the diamond quilting as that can lay back like 180 degrees where this one is like 170. I sound like a diva I know but still it seems cool. This model does have perforated holes which I think could be good if it's hot and not sure If the other model has that.
