Hey, Gerbers under 20bux each if you spring for 2 or more.
Flashing for 21.something, and 10% off for ordering 2+. Total’s 19.something each.
Finally received my upgraded CPAP machine after more than 5 years with the ResMed S9 model which is discontinued. Medicare balked after a sleep study reported that I probably wouldn’t die from sleep apnea. My pulmonologist tore them a new A-hole about quality of life and my previous A-fib surgery possibly being related to the sleep apnea.
The newer AirSense10 Autoset just came today. It seems a bit more plasticky, especially in the water chamber which I’ve seen online has leakage problems. I’ll give it a go tonight after a turn in the SoClean 2
Iffn you gotta get old, get good doctors.
I used to have sleep apnea, and I had a CPAP machine that need to be replaced.
I had to do another sleep study to get a new CPAP machine, and it turned out that I no longer have sleep apnea, and my insurance would not cover another CPAP machine.
I had to buy my own CPAP machine with my own money!
I chose the Fisher & Paykel ICON Auto for $510 in 2014.
It seems to get the job done, so I think it was a good choice.
Got the Fireside Friend with a 4 lb head.
My wife way like that. Right now she just kicks me in the back to start me breathing again when I do an apnea. 
Picked up this little mosquito zapper / lantern:
Picked up these cheap little Dayton speakers. I needed something small to fit on my TV cart beside the TV. Even though they have only 4” drivers, they sound more musical than my old DefTechs. Right now I have them crossed over at 80 Hz to the sub - still need to do some more listening and tweaking. They are not very efficient and have 4 Ohm impedance, so they give my old AV receiver a bit of a workout, but I have plenty of headroom since it’s a fairly small listening/viewing area - no need for very high volume. For $70 bucks, I’m happy.
My 10yr old Vitamix is still going strong, but the 64oz container had seen better days. Ordered a new one.
Ordered a Seagate USB powered Backup Plus 5TB Portable Hard Drive with Rescue Data Recovery Services from Costco for $99 plus tax. With all the media I have, it’s cheap insurance if my house got robbed or burned down. I already have a few backups but this is a guarantee I will never lose my data. I will keep this hard drive in my safety deposit box I have at my local bank. Better safe than sorry.
I have a bunch of these, in different colors.
They're my hard drive of choice. 
Picked up a small Nespresso machine for those times when I’m in a hurry or don’t feel like firing up my big Breville manual espresso rig.
Pete, looks great! What is the model #?
Had LeafFilter installed on my gutters yesterday. They will prevent debris from trees from clogging up the gutters and leaders which can cause water leakage into the house. I know from experience.
Essenza Mini. Amazon currently has it on sale for $76:

I think some local stores such as Target may offer it at similar price.
Pete, thanks! I’ll order it from Amazon. I have a Prime account.
Cool.
Between Nespresso and Keurig, the taste of Nespresso beats Keurig hands down, IMO, although Nespresso capsules are a bit more expensive. I’ve heard Peet’s capsules work well in these machines and sometimes go on sale for a lot less than the original Nespresso ones. I’ll be picking some up next time they go on sale.
My multi-tool has finally arrived. I like it. It looks well made.
Got myself a Wifi mini router : the GL.inet GL-MT300N-V2
(not my pic)
Only ~22€, runs OpenWRT and it is software upgradable, unlike most cheap junk in the same category!
Got a cheap replacement rear master cylinder from Amazon, this one has an external reservoir and is supposed to be the 2005 upgrade to the 2004 Arctic Cat I have. This one was $25… Much better deal than the $260 OEM one that’s known to seize! Got it mounted, thought I got it filled and bled, still no foot brake.
Guess I get to pull the caliper and do a restore on that too. Putting these machines away for 5 years wreaks havoc! But that’s how I got it for a Benji so maybe it ain’t worth complaining about! Lol
Picked up some new pods to try in the Nespresso machine. These seem to be getting very favorable reviews as a viable alternative to original Nespresso ones, and they sometimes go on sale.
