I've got a whole pile of leftover Misumi 20mm square T-slot aluminum extrusions in my scrap pile of 3D printer design experiments, and coincidentally was testing a 6-foot programmable LED strip back in February that I have no other use for. Hmmmmm.....

She has had the blast and thanks you afterwards for you kind wishes.

That's fantastic! Or should I say "Das ist fantastisch!". I'm so glad she enjoyed it.

I might get two and put them next to the nightstands if it's good; i need to figure out lighting. Moved in recently so all lighting I have are the ones in the ceiling fans lol

Here you are sir. The price increased over night, but still isn't bad.

Here's one for $75

If you are still looking for simple lighting projects, I have these behind monitors and TV's. I don't really get down with the multi-colored themes, but a simple 6500k-ish hue coming from behind, adds a little something to the room. I really like mine.

Shark Cordless Vac

Just used it once, but I'm impressed. Picks up everything and is quiet as hell. Easy to use and empty. I just hope it's durable.

[TiMSport]

Shark is the shit man. Less expensive than the overrated Dyson IMO and their products work well. Customer service is really good too.

Those behind tv lights are great. I picked up some walmart ones for $10 and while it isn't pretty from the back it does exactly what I want it to do. Even lighting behind the TV

New drip coffee maker to replace the Cuisinart we’ve had for 10+ years that finally died. I like the design of the new one much better, especially the ability to remove the water reservoir to fill it, the way the carafe pours and the filter housing. Coffee is also nice and hot. However, still screwing around with water and coffee adjustments to get the coffee flavor just right. It’s ok and maybe I was just too used to the old one, but taking a while to get happy with the coffee the new coffee maker brews.

[M_Six]

Might have to go back to a drip coffee maker once I retire in a couple of weeks. Since I'll be home, I'll be likely to drink more coffee.

UPDATE: Just ordered the same coffee maker and a 6-pack of Cafe Du Monde coffee. I used to drink Cafe Du Monde all the time before our old drip coffee maker broke and we went to single serve. But the single serve is way more expensive and not as good as Cafe Du Monde.

Grabbed a phone mount for the bike, and a few accessories to use it elsewhere as well. So far I like it a lot.

Yeah I never found the single serve appealing, mostly because I don’t want to store or pay for all the pods / packets. I often let cups cool off and throw the coffee away for a fresh cup so pots are the way to go for me.

I haven’t tried Cafe Du Monde but may give it a shot. Our go to / everyday coffee is Dunkin. I used to buy some expensive Kona coffee but they stopped offering the blend I like and raised the prices too much on everything else,

Quad Lock is awesome. I've been using it for years and have a mount for all my bikes. I've dropped my phone countless times and it's never gotten so much as a scratch.

You can probably find a local place with Cafe Du Monde to try a can. I buy 6 at a time from their website and deal with the shipping cost because there is no place local to get them. We live in the cornfields. There is at least one store in Champaign about an hour north of here that sells single cans, but it's still easier to get them shipped.

Decided since I play golf 4-5 times a week I should walk a bit. But my back won't allow me to carry my clubs or even push a hand cart through heavy grass. So I ordered a motorized walking cart. Ordered Feb 15. Got it April 8. Defective and waiting for a "part".

[TiMSport]

Well now that it's official I suppose I can legitimately post in this thread since it is my most recent purchase (custom ordered M340ix arrived yesterday).

Sorry for bombarding the forums but its been a long wait! Next purchase will be some ceramic tint.

That is good to hear. I don't know anyone with the system and it was a little expensive. I am happy with how well it is built so far.

Bought this to hopefully make two Porsche 944 engines easier to get in the truck in the morning. Would love to use a trailer instead but I have to have somewhere for the 924s to go.

I was thinking of this post when I got a 10 piece Calphanon Signature today at Costco. We never had a good cookware set either. We still have some pots and pans from when before we were married living in a studio apartment in Santa Monica over 15 years ago. Now we have a complete one brand matching set for the first time ever!
