What random non-firearm junk did you buy online today?

Had a Lowe's gift card that's been sitting unused for quite a while, so I decided to spring for a Dremel 8220 Cordless model. I've got 2 different corded tools, but there are times cordless is just the way to go. Lots of uses for these handy tools, it will be nice to go cord free for some projects.

I buy allot of truck parts, and in the past electronic gadgets.
Weird stuff, like a wireless volt meter, DB meter , natural gas meter.
Radiation detector. Portable Radios, door knobs, records and recently heavy duty locking door hinges, for a solid steel door, for a room I am building.

Truck parts?

Truck parts?

I have a 67 Ford F250 Ranger, and another truck if I hunt around have found some good deals on line.

Not today but I Cyber Monday'ed myself. I've been wanting to switch to an electric smoker for some time, pretty much because I'm getting/gotten lazy and haven't been smoking much lately. Ran across "Smokin-it's" 10 % off sale and got a little woozy. I must have passed out and hit the BUY button when my forehead hit the keyboard.

Same width and depth as my 36 inch gas smoker but about 8 inches shorter. It'll hold a 18 lb brisket/15 lb turkey and with another rack the same amount of jerkey, fish etc as the gas smoker. 3 yr warranty, made in the US, 100% 18 gauge 201 SS, fiberglass insulated and built like a tank! It burns split chunks rather than chips or pellets. It'll be here the 5th and I've got a pork loin curing now for Canadian bacon as a test run.


Then to make things worse I was thinking I might "need" a wireless temp probe and found the Thermoworks Smoke 25% off. Now I don't have to leave the recliner to check temps!

I acquired a ⅛ scale violin for my daughter. Her mother plays said instrument and she'll learn to as well.

Nice!
Sure that's 1/8th though?

 

[CountryGent]

Well, the one I ordered was ⅛ scale (among about a half dozen options), but that was the stock photo on the site. Guess we'll find out sometime this week.

Waiting for the Smurfey one to slap me up side the head here, i should have caught this, its 1/8 playable scales, but actually more like 2/3 physical size! Duh...........
I saw 1/8 scale and thought it was actually legit Smurf size! Lol

 

[CountryGent]

As pint-sized as the Smurfy-One is, the daughter is even more widdle. Though, man alive, how they grow so fast. But I digress, my friends.

Ok, Just set the credit card on fire, but I got this ordered the other day and it's on it's way! It's a good parts unit, all I wanted was the crank and case halves and external parts! I have new Cylinder Packs on order and most of the new parts I'm going to need! The Turbine is just to crazy, for what i'm doing! So it's back to 1930's High Tech! LOL

Looks fun, what is it going to pull up in the air?

 

[Ura-Ki]

New Intake, and separate oil sump, and brand new ACE cylinder packs complete!


They claim the total kit makes the old engine almost 60 pounds lighter, and should be able to make 100+ more HP then a stock IO-360!

I have and love it, I'm just not very educated in said subject.

 

[Ura-Ki]

Its almost the exact same thing as a Piper J-3 CUB with short Fuselage and the Super Cubs ( Pa-18) Wings, while being almost half the flying weight of a Super Cub! Makes for a serious Bush plane, and is super fun to fly! I have a 310 HP Turbo Prop in it currently and its a rocket, too much power, can never use all of what it makes!

This should give ya an Idea of how I get my Adrenalin Fix! LOL
