1987 Daihatsu Charade brochure. Would probably interest @eiriksmil too ;) Couldn't say no for $1.

Appliance combo!

My LG vacuum dies last week so I picked up a Bissell "Pet Hair Eraser" yesterday.

After a go-round on the rug in the living room, it pulled out an astonishing amount of dog hair. I'm impressed and, bonus, it was half the price of the stupid Dyson my wife sad a coworker recommended.
Vacuum the dog. No more dog hair on the rug. No?

Looks like a complicated piece of machinery. Is it silent? Because my "a little bit older" Dyson model is very loud. I need earplugs when I vaccuum. :P

I can't speak for @TB's vacuum, but I have a Bissell that sounds like a jet engine. It does do a fantastic job, though.
 
Ordered a couple of these soap dispenser lids to replace my old ones that were rusting. These ones are painted aluminum and won't have that problem.
 
Not strictly a super-recent purchase, but since I've been using it so much lately:

Like that, but in blue. I'm finding it fantastic, to the point I'm always keeping it with me. I've been aiming for 2L of water a day, and having the lemon zest in there, even if it's only a bit after each refill, helps. I also sprinkle a little bit of salt in there to try to hit my sodium levels for the day.
 
Having nothing but issues with my Draytek routers, the wireless ap works flawless, but the ethernet boxes just don't like living in my house. 3 times I've returned it and in the time they were gone I used my old Linksys 320 something and that old hot running thing easily managed the speeds it's supposed to deliver. Time for space age material:

TP-Link Archer C7. Ordered it minutes ago and will be delivered before noon tomorrow. I love the Internet.

Edit.

Almost forgot. 40 euro discount because coupon for regular customer.

It has been almost 7 years since I've last painted my walls, and it's showing. And using a 7 year old paint roller didn't work. All the threads got stuck on my wall. :lol:

So,

A.C. Tion delivers. For the grand total of 8! Euroos.

Completely forgot the light bulb that I initially went out to buy.

This is why I'm given an 'allowance' and not a bank card.
 
Ys pls.

Found a NOS Mamiya RB67 ProSD + WLF+ 90mm f3.8 + extension rings + 120 SD film back. And then I found 1x another 120 SD film back + 1x SD motorised 120 film back (rare-ish).

All for less than a new entry level DSLR.

It was time for a new gas grill. Our old one lasted a good while (8 yrs or so), under heavy use. I decided to step up to a Weber this time. I spent a couple hours putting it together and will try it out tomorrow, I'm too hot now and feel like sitting in the AC.
You won't regret that. My dad got his Weber a few years ago for Father's day, and he says his is one of the best grills he's ever owned. Ours has been beat to hell from a lot of summer use and still operates like we babied the thing.

Ours lasted 3. I'm hoping it lasts the season before the frame give way to rust. Then I'm going back to a proper charcoal grill. I prefer it over gas.
That looks like a nice, and sturdy, grill though. Enjoy!
