What did you consumer fucks buy today?
- Thread starter neosapien
- Start date
no and I wanted one. I got the best I could get that was in stock locally. I actually wanted a Bradford White with recirc then I'd have to put in a bypass but I was ok with that. Unfortunately Fergusons couldn't assure me of a delivery date and it was a minimum of a week out and I wasn't willing to not have hot water until then. So I went with a less expensive 9.5 gpm with no recirculating pump as opposed to the 11.2 gpm with a recirculating pump but no definite delivery date. So far with it's first full day of operation today I don't notice any difference in heating time compared to my old BW 50 gallon tank. But you can put a pump externally too. We'll see, early days for me with a tankless.

I forgot to update what I did about the engine I pulled from the silverado.
I changed plans and bought another donor 2500hd. Same truck same year
. Same engine(6.0) same trans(4l80e) engine only has 130K and the transmission was just rebuilt. Crazy because my 4l80e lasted 380K which I just had rebuilt. But anyways it makes more sense to “freshen up” the LQ4 from the donor truck, which i’m currently doing, and throw that in the silverado. Sell the spare trans/transfer case and have shitloads of spare parts for my truck.
I’m going to build up the LQ4 from my truck into a stroker all forged rotating assembly. New heads and cam blah blah blah and throw it into a pre-smog K5 Blazer i want to build out.
The donor truck was 2400. I’ll get 1000 easy for the spare trans+transfer case. I make out like a bandit.
i fired up the engine in the donor truck before buying of course.

Back in the spring I had ants in the riverhouse. They were going after the sweat in my clothes. I know now what they mean by antsy after putting on my underwear in the dark. No real damage to me, but they cut lots of little holes in my favorite pair of walking underwear. They still work, but the wife was always on me to buy new ones. She went as far as looking up some on Amazon. They were Hanes like the old ones, they looked the same and had the right amount of Spandex, so I told her to go ahead and get them.
So they came. A three pack in red, blue and black. And on the outside they did look like my old pair. But on the inside around the "pouch" there was an elastic fence. You have all seen the old Westerns where they put the unbroken horse into the corral for the first time. That's how I felt. Anyway, I am able to wear them inside out, but they still are not comfortable.
The good news is that I found a pair of New Balance underwear at the thrift store last week. Really like them a lot. I also got two pairs of Michael Adams. Too much cotton but would work in a pinch.

For a moment there I had hopes you were illustrating "ants in your pants"! I admit I did think that was sort of an odd thing to buy but I'm accepting

Time for a camper shell?
I'm going in the other direction with transport costs. We are giving our 2015 Prius to Sister. The wife hasn't drove for a couple three years, and it has sat in the same spot for at least a year. I used to crank it to cut the grass. But it got to where I was having to jump it off, so now I cut around it. Anyway, that will be about a grand a year in savings. That will take us down to two vehicles.

Couple of weeks ago we ordered a set of Cuddl Duds, tops and bottoms for about ten bucks. About half price. The only drawback is they had to be the same size. I need the tops to be XXL and the bottoms to be M. (because I have long arms and no ass at all) So we compromised and got Large. The wife got the top and me the bottoms. I just ordered another top in the right size. I forget the price on that, but it was less than ten. Anyway the set came in a few days ago, and the other top got here today. And I have already used it. It's cold down here.

2 pack Ocifer arrived yesterday (Cap Junky x Rosetta Stone) directly from the Fairy Tail place. HEKA is another Cap Junky cross and it is so powerful
Takes longer than anything for the Vapor to thin, Ms Wife and I both start our sessions about 10*f lower than most. Lots of Vapor to extract.

Sister has been doing that for a while now. This year she is keeping a one year old and has had them delivered. So far she is happy with the service.
My buddy buys everything and pays the bills and gets no sex. I told him a while back, "Dude its you're bday, gonna get you're dick sucked". He shook his head now lowered it and almost started crying. He lives with his wife and 2 kids in her parents big house and they have him pay for everything or he did when his wife wasn't working for 3 years bc of crohn's. Hes the best puppet ever. Made him pay for a 12k john deere mower when they already had 2 smaller ones hahahaha.

Eight or ten years ago I bought a 32 Degrees Cool shirt at a thrift store. I fell in love with it and it quickly became my everyday next to my skin walking shirt. About five years ago my wife started trying to get me to throw it away. If there is one thing I'm good at, it's procrastination. But the neck was really stretched and there are a few holes in it, so last month I started looking at them online. I found out they also make a long sleeved Heat shirt with the same basic materials. So I am now the proud owner of four Cool shirts and two Heat shirts. Around 25 bucks for the four pack, and 20 for the two pack.
Also last hiking season there was a lot of talk about fishnet base layers. There are pictures of Hillary wearing one on his little mountain climbing adventure in 1953, so it is not new by any means. There is only one company from Norway that is selling the real deal in the states. But a top and bottom will set you back 150 dollars. So I shopped for see through mesh shirts instead. One of which I bought for about 10 bucks and wore for the first time today, paired with one of the Heat shirts. It was really toasty. I did not work up a sweat, so don't really know if it's as good at wicking as advertised.
