i need to do a better job of keeping up... here's what happened under the "christmas" gifts to myself - not pictured are plastic casters for my aeron, a "replica" yellow alpine band for my apple watch, and a lenox light-up 9" level

if you couldnt tell, i found my PSP in the drawers i usually despise battery packs, but it was $11.01 shipped, so i couldn't refuse on a year old phone.

Wasn't sure where to post this. I didn't buy it, my daughter gave me for Christmas a set of Irish linens, made in Ireland. Here is one that displays Irish families and where they lived in Ireland. I am half Irish and my family name is among them.

Instead of buying a whole new car for the winter, I invested in a $35 undercarriage pressure washer attachment.

European style mirrors; having learned driving overseas I'd always found it lacking that the cars here don't have the "wide angle" mirrors. Was a long time annoyance and I finally found a feasible set for really cheap

Bought my son some LED light strips for his room. Installed them yesterday.
8m very impressed with the fit and finish and output of these inexpensive lights!
It came with a remote but also has a mobile app.
He loves them!

Logitech K480 multi-device keyboard. I can use it and my new Logitech M720 mouse to switch back and forth between my MBP and my Dell box. Gone are the days of clunky KVM switches.

Wall mount for one of the TVs in my Pain Cave. I needed to be able to see it from my rower seat. Used to be on the bookshelf there, but obviously not ideal for watching it while rowing. Now it's perfect.

Rolling stool for the garage. My tired, old back can't take bending over or kneeling down to work on the car or tidy up the drawers in the tool chest. And forget trying to get up off the floor. So this cheapo Harbor Freight special will work for now.

I have a similar one but round. It's used 99% of the time for wheel cleaning and detailing.

I then purchased a pair of nice cooling mattress covers, and new set of Bamboo Sheets. Gonna be sleeping like a hibernating Bear this Winter!
OK... I know someone asked me about my new mattress purchase. Especially being my first entirely all foam setup coming from a inner spring traditional setup.
I am happy to report that after the initial couple of weeks, my wife and I are thoroughly enjoying this bed! She got used to it even quicker than I. But she's only 125lbs. I'm 225. It has definitely relieved some shoulder and hip discomfort I was having. It sleeps cool. It doesn't have that quick sand feeling like some memory foam beds do, but it is definitely plush.
Next up I will be ordering adjustable bases with remote control and massage.
Ahhhhhhh....

First time I used an impact driver to drive in a screw, I was stunned at how quickly and easily it sunk a 4" screw through a sheet of plywood and into a 4x4. Think hot knife through butter.
