Non Flashlight orders/received

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

THIS ONE

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.

My first Ball Bearing Flipper: CH3507-G10.

Just received a nos Ever ready 1912 single edge razor, and two Arkansas stones for my straights razors, one black and one black translucent. 10”x3”x1” size. Gotta flatten and lap them now.

My speaker hoarding addiction has been kicking in more than my flashlight addiction lately. Just grabbed these leftover DCM TP160S bookshelves from ebay, possibly for garage duty…

Pete,

Those speakers look sweet for the money!

How did MTX get a hold of DCM?
Just bought out the name and remaining stock maybe?

I sold the DCM Time Windows back in the 80’s when they were considered the sheet.
People blew the heck out of the tweeters and they took forever to send replacements.
Thanks

From what I’ve found online, MiTek/MTX acquired DCM in 1999. Over the years, they shut down the original DCM manufacturing facilities and transferred production to MTX facilities. Many of the DCM models were also discontinued and replaced with MTX designs, but still sold under the DCM brand name. MiTek owns a lot of different audio brands that they’ve amassed over the years.

From what I understand, these DCM TP160S were an original DCM design, now discontinued. Someone bought the remaining stock and is now selling it on ebay.

Jump started my neighbors 6.5l diesel with a dead battery three times already and this battery pack is still displaying full.

I’ve been bit by a new addiction…

2019-2020 deer season opens tomorrow (archery) so I got a new toy for that! Gun week isn’t till December but I need to put some lead down range before hand to get used to her. Can’t make it to the range this weekend, got another full weekend of tree jobs but by next weekend my Skinner sights will be here and I’ll get them installed and get out to the woods.

For deer I’ll be shooting these 325gr hornady rounds but for fun I’ll be slinging 405’s!
