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

[Jasonanddeonna]

A leather satchel I bought online came in today. It is kind of handy:

But, what does it contain? Books, computer media, who knows ...

Around these parts we call that a purse:

Here's hoping medical science advances to the point we can help such individuals figure out the difference.

Just ordered a new MacBook Air.

A Johnny Depp western, great film. On VHS of course, I strive to keep my living room firmly in the 90s. Tube tv, laserdisc, in the cabinet is the vcr, nintendo and playstation.

Bought a used 10" Skywatcher Flextube. Overall it's still in great shape. Not sure which is a more expensive hobby.........but they both bring the same amount of joy.

My new work laptop only has a 13" screen so I ordered a dual monitor stand and two 22" monitors. I have not received my new laptop yet but my current work laptop drives the external monitors as well.

Well I got this, and it isn't that bad. https://www.coldsteel.com/pendleton-lite-hunter/
The pic shows a convex but the one I got was more of a scandi grind.
It's crap stainless but its a good lunch box knife.
There about $18 on Amazon, the Mora Companion is a better knife IMO.

The newer 38" or larger curved monitors are a game changer. I will never be able to go back to dual monitors.

I saw it and needed it.

Picked up my, unused but opened, drill press this evening. Tomorrow I'll put it together and mount it.

Edited for an assembled pic

Day-yammm! A band saw and a drill press? In just over 24 hours apart? Yowza!

That pretty much sux, man. I hope you can replace your toys for what you sold them for.

A new US flag to replace the one I fly 24x7x365. I buy high quality flags that will hold up for this purpose and my tradition is to replace them on Independence Day each year. Same goes for my thin blue line flags, but only get six months out of them, so it's January and July for those.

Push sticks so I can use my router table to joint some maple boards as a replacement for our worn out cutting board.

Construction string to help level a new wider gate I'm hopefully installing in my backyard fence this weekend.

I hear ya! I also proudly fly Old Glory 24/7/365 from my home. She's positioned such that anyone who comes up the walk must pass beneath her to get on my front porch (see image below). That's done intentionally...

I also buy the high quality flags with the thick nylon fabric, stitched stripes, embossed stars, brass grommets, and the thickened heading along the hoist. Get a replacement flag every Flag Day (June 14th), and I dispose of the old flag, folded into a yankee tricorne, in a solemn campfire ceremony while camping in the woods somewhere over Labor Day weekend. It's a tradition...

My Liberty State flags flies to Old Glory's left, as prescribed by our national flag etiquette. The Liberty State flag is a much thinner cotton, and only lasts about 6 months, same as your TBL flags.

This is what the front of Château Sobo looks like most times (clicky to embiggen)...
Pic was taken in January two or three years ago, shortly after the Liberty State flag replacement ceremony.

Outstanding! My flag is set up so you MUST walk underneath it to enter my house!

Here is a picture from a few years back. You have to walk under Old Glory then turn left to enter. Shrubs and trees prevent you from doing otherwise.

Huzzah!

It appears that Old Glory and the TBL banner share the same facade from which they fly.
Pray tell me, surely Old Glory flies noticeably higher than does the TBL flag, yes?

 

[Alexx1401]

Fly both USA and Thin Blue flag on my front porch proudly. Have been pleasantly surprised at how many positive comments I get by people passing by. Living in a VERY blue state its nice to see so many have no lost their damn mind.

Absolutely! The perspective in the picture makes them look even, but from the front it's visible. If for some reason I had something other than a US based flag where TBL normally resides I would put it in the second portion of the holder to lower it further.

When I moved here I was the only one. Now almost everybody flies them ay least on holidays with a handful that fly 24x7x365 and all of those are lit as well.
