Welp. Bought a 2009 Chevrolet LTZ Impala. 85k, 3.9L V6, insurance isn't too expensive. Not a serious gas hog. Previous own bought it new and is a life long family friend, all problems it ever had went to the dealer.

Now to start saving money again. Glad I still live with my parents.

Now to stalk plane tickets.

Pulled the trigger on flights tonight as they finally dropped to a decent price and weren't absolutely abysmal times. Still not overly pleased with leaving at 5am but at least I don't have to drive to MSP.

And since the flight is booked, I moved on to renting the car. For some unknown reason an XTS is $5 less than a Versa so since I've never driven a Cadillac for more than 45 seconds at a time, it was the obvious choice. Unless there's an interesting option for the "or similar" on the lot.

85k for a 10 y.o. car? I guess you mean 85k miles?

Sony DT 4-5.6/55-200mm SAM lens for my A58. Picked it up used for 56€ bucks. New price: 225€.

Edit: just ordered a CPL filter as well.

So, picked up 2 e-tickets for me and @magdeleyna to see Predator at the cinema as we missed the OG release

Also bagged a new BD of “Flight Of The Navigator” which is from a new 4K scan, so hopefully pretty good.

And last I picked up 3 bottles of Oud. The larger 6ml (right) is a dark Oud with Patchuli, the (middle) is a 6ml which has a lot of Rose in it so a little more feminine in smell and not really for a 6’.2” bloke

and the small 3ml bottle is a pure Cambodian Oud oil which is very pure and if you’ve never smelt it before is a love it or hate it smell. For me I love it.

Pixel 3A

Rather disappointed with it actually. Battery life is pants, no notification light (really!), speaker is not loud enough for my taste to name a few...

I have a thing for squishables. Didn't know they had a budgie, so I had to have it when I found one at the local game/music store.

That kind of sucks, my 3 (not the A) ticks all the boxes for me.

Picked up an Akai MPK Mini II LE

A decent little midi controller as I’m getting back into music production and felt the need for a little hardware to help with the software side of things.

Suppose I should make an appearance somewhere other than the daily race thread. Considering I'm in love these things, this is a good way to start.

New boots (the brown one) Sendra may very well be my new favourite boot brand. Black boot behind is a Red Wing 2944 Harvester.

And some CEP run compression socks 2.0

Thought I'd give this a try from Wal-Mart.

No, no, no, nooooo. Don't start shaving. You don't know what you are getting yourself into. It will grow back, you know. It is a never ending cycle and you don't want that. I made this mistake and I'm still shaving. :ouch:

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Because I've become disillusioned with GT Sport, I have got back into PCars 2. I'm loving it again so I splurged on this. It's expensive yeah, but it's a thing of beauty and the build quality is just excellent. Using it with my PS4 Pro...

Nice.

This sounds interesting:

We ship from within EU (no additional taxes/duties are applied when trading within EU)

Re-watching LGR's Thrifting videos made me want to pick up some games I missed out on. Went to the local used game/music stores to find these. (Probably paid a little more than eBay prices?)
