What did you buy this week?

Ordered debris forks from ebay. Bucket measures 65 so guessing a 66 bucket in bean counter terms, forks for 58. Looking forward to trying them out. Unfortunately just hollow tubes but in a few years maybe I’ll try welding up solid tines.

Bought a straw hat, and an ice vest and a portable electric freezer to keep the spare ice packs in while working on my remote property.

Tested the ice vest out at home while mowing. Seemed to do ok at keeping me comfortable but not cool. However, I'm having trouble with the ice packs and the freezer.

The ice packs came flat with some kind of granules in it and you soak them in water and they expand and hold the water. Freeze them and they're good for supposedly a couple hours of cooling. Not sure yet what happens when they thaw out, but it seems like the water stays in them.

The portable freezer worked ok at freezing some candy I put in there to test. But when I filled it up with these water packs, it could not achieve freezing and began to frost up. I'm thinking maybe I overfilled it and it wasn't getting a good seal, so I thawed it out and I'm going to try it again with half a load.

Bought 5 japanese maples to plant. All different varieties. Now the fun part of debating where to plant them.

I love those trees, very unique.

The mistake I made here is planting things too close.

Been there ...still there. I even thought I spaced garden tomato plants far enough to get the tiller between the rows this year.

Two golf cart canopies.. going to try adapting it to my LS based on some threads on here. For $10 a piece got a spare. If your in the KC area they’ve got a good stack.

Philips ultinon H8/H16 led’s from AMZN for the Yanmar.

Edit: Had the tractor out at night to check the light intensity out. Very impressed; good beam pattern and strong illumination.

Been tagging along with wife on her business trip, so, dinner out every night for 3 nights.... First night was Outback, and I guess I forgot how much the chains had all fallen in quality, not bad, just kinda bla... 2nd night was a one off, country farm to kitchen place, very good, but Pricey. 3rd Night was, I think, a one off local steak house, got 14 oz Bison rib-eye, good, but maybe fell short of a $52 steak.

Outback fell in quality many years ago. Ive never seen a filet in my life that was only 1/2” thick until i ate at outback.

Give me Texas Roadhouse anyday for a great steak dinner at a reasonable cost

Give me free meals and "hospitality suites" with open bar for business trips.
