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

[sobo]

I buy a lot of bulk food plus make sausage, smoked cheese etc. Burned up my Foodsaver the other day and
decided to go with a chamber vac. $50 off all their sealers until the 29th.

I'm totally new to this Foodsaver/chamber vacuum sealer thing. Does this thing work for perishable foods? Or do such foods still require freezing/refrigeration?
Are the chamber vacuum sealers just providing better protection against oxygen intrusion than Foodsaver? Is that the main draw towards having one? TIA.

$350 seems like a lot to invest in this machine for a single guy like me that rarely produces leftovers that last more than a week...

We pretty much only use our foodsaver for game meat.

You still have to freeze everything. I think they do a better job than a Foodsaver and are more reliable, plus faster to use. With the bags being so cheap compared to, it'll pay for itself over time if you use it a lot. If you wouldn't be using it a lot a Foodsaver will do fine for you.

Thanks for the info, NW! Much obliged...

Trolling plate for my boat, got the one that folds if I forget to pull it up before hitting the throttle. Went on easy, I left work early to install it but was done within 15 minutes, that leaves an extra 3 1/2 hours for beer thirty! We'll see how it works tomorrow out in the lake, the boat idles at close to 4mph, hoping to slow it down to 1mph or slightly less at idle.

A 1944 WW2 M2 pocket transit/compass made by Wm. Ainsworth & Sons in Denver, Colorado.....for $20!!!!!

The compass is in almost unissued condition and as a bonus still has the original felt lined M-19 carrying case (worth $20+ just by itself). Cool piece of WW2 hardware and another addition to my compass collection.

Star pattern Allen key set. Great for optics and mounts, as many brands use different sizes of star-head bolts. Very happy with it so far, much better quality than my current Allen key sets.

Lawrence of Arabia... Omar Sharif, the scene at his well in the desert, early in the flick...

NICE touch, ILG!

I love my beer. Thus I found a 4-71 GMC blower for my flatty, needs a rebuild and I still gotta get the intake adapter.

A friend of mine once put a 4-71 on a Mazda Rotory. It was pretty darn cool.

I bought a new set of wheels to replace the 22" kaleidoscope-y looking hoops that were on my F150 when I got it.

I was thinking about buying an MGA. A 4-71 would go on there nicely
