After years of wasting money on a storage unit, we finally got a storage shed for the house (could have bought several for what we've paid in rental fees!)

Still have to paint it to match the house, but at least it's here.

Nice. My one regret about buying our shed is that we didn't go bigger. I'd love a shed twice the size of the one we have. But back then (~20 years ago), it seemed well suited.

Too big is never quite big enough when it comes to sheds or garages.

That's a very nice example!

The old man was a field geologist early in his career; your specimen reminds me of the samples he collected in the late 40s and early 50s.

I don't THINK these are considered weapons although they are projectiles.

There were on sale for about 45% off the original price so I snagged them.

Idk how I'll "syle" them with dress clothes but we'll see

I hate buying things like this online and sight unseen. Last time, I bought a Fortress Californian and decided I didn't like it shortly after the return period expired. Hoping for much better luck this time.

Never played these, obviously you like them. How do they compare to other major brands?

They are similar in feel and play to a ProV1. At half the price. And I really like the fact I can tell my ball at a glance cause they are GREEN. Not yellow. And not the matte green of Callaway. Nice to know if you are on the green and only need bring your putter.

Note they do come in other colors.

I've been looking for yellow-toned bulbs for my outside lights. Something that wouldn't attract too many bugs and not be annoyingly bright, but still cast some decent light around the door areas. My goal is to use my cams in full color mode instead of B&W/IR mode. I gave one of these a shot today. On the cams, it looks brilliant white and allows the cam to stay in daytime mode. But to my eyes, it looks yellow, like the other bug lights I have. And it doesn't seem to me to be any brighter, yet the cams really work well with it. It remains to be seen how long this will last, but if it lasts a few months at least, I may replace all my outside light bulbs with one of these. $12.50 at Home Depot.

I have the same bulbs on our patio, but the other end of the spectrum (bright white 3,000K) for a different application (maximizing light).

How long have you had them? I'm hoping these last a while.

We got them late last year (I believe Sept / Oct). We don’t use them daily, but if most other LEDs we have are any indication, I expect them to last several years.

Lights, anyone?

Not my picture, the Fitorch P25 Little Fatty LED Flashlight in red (anodized aluminum, I believe) with 3000 yes 3000 lumens!!! Actually, the beam is pretty wide with the four LEDs, so it doesn't seem that bright, but it's a neat form factor and I kind of collect flashlights.

Hard to tell from the picture, but it's a short stubby flashlight that easily fits in the palm of your hand. The included battery is rechargeable.

Since most LED flashlights come in black, I tend toward the colored ones now.

FibraMent pizza / baking stone with metal flame diverter for use on the grill. Test drive tonight. Still have Emile Henry round and rectangular stones but the round one is really difficult to clean, despite its “proprietary glaze” that is supposed to make it easy to clean and allows cutting right on the stone.

So I've been rocking a Beard for the past year. And being the consummate, well groomed metrosexual that I am, I've made sure to increase my arsenal of beard utensils. These 2 items have worked wonders and I highly recommend them to all my beard guys.
