What have you bought lately?

[renaeden]

I bought a Tomy Tomica "Roads and Rails" playset. The first train set I ever had. Sure, I could roll my Hot Wheels on the roads, but it's a lot more fun watching the train go around the track, going across the level-grade crossing. It's really cool seeing the gates close by themselves when the train goes on the crossing. Maybe I have a new hobby?

Train sets can get really elaborate. Especially when you set up scenery and all that stuff as well.

I'm thinking of getting a bunch of the Tomica rails so that I can make a line spanning my apartment. (more than 20 feet of rails) And maybe a couple of playsets for the "destinations". This is going to be a lot of fun.

Post pics of the process?

Five two and a half inch hole saws

I had to use an old chipped tooth beat up 3" hole saw to go into an Al PG&E specced box at the beginning of this job. Now I have a ¹/₂" to 4" new KO set for the steel boxes and new 3" hole saws for the remaining cast Al boxes. 

English translation please?   

 :lol:

I ruined two of them today going through roofing shingles.

That's why I have a couple of the Harbor Freight sets. They work OK when you use generous amounts of gear oil as cutting fluid.

The required operation is more complex than most of the ones described in the book.

I have a team of Ninjas that can assist on my end of things.

Excellent. I'll just leave the object where I usually drop off counter-intelligence.

Poor me.  I can't wear skinny jeans.  Nothing about me is skinny.  I even wear fat socks.

$100 in gas for the van

[Phallacy]

Holy crap. When I was at Toys R Us browsing the Hot Wheels "Hot Ones", I found a "chase" car. A "Sunagon" VW van with redline tires. Those are rare and they're going for 20+ dollars on eBay! Lucky day this was! This is the first Hot Wheels car that I will not open and may sell at some point for an easy profit.

Did I boast about my coat already?

[lutra]

I bought a big 'net' of cob nuts/hazelnuts and a 2011 Beaujolais today. Opened the first already and going to rest the latter a couple of days. (which is a bit over the top for a young wine but.. )(hey)

Not sure. Why not do it again, just to make sure?
