Logitech K480 multi-device keyboard. I can use it and my new Logitech M720 mouse to switch back and forth between my MBP and my Dell box. Gone are the days of clunky KVM switches.

Wall mount for one of the TVs in my Pain Cave. I needed to be able to see it from my rower seat. Used to be on the bookshelf there, but obviously not ideal for watching it while rowing. Now it's perfect.

Rolling stool for the garage. My tired, old back can't take bending over or kneeling down to work on the car or tidy up the drawers in the tool chest. And forget trying to get up off the floor. So this cheapo Harbor Freight special will work for now.

I have a similar one but round. It's used 99% of the time for wheel cleaning and detailing.

I then purchased a pair of nice cooling mattress covers, and new set of Bamboo Sheets. Gonna be sleeping like a hibernating Bear this Winter!
OK... I know someone asked me about my new mattress purchase. Especially being my first entirely all foam setup coming from a inner spring traditional setup.
I am happy to report that after the initial couple of weeks, my wife and I are thoroughly enjoying this bed! She got used to it even quicker than I. But she's only 125lbs. I'm 225. It has definitely relieved some shoulder and hip discomfort I was having. It sleeps cool. It doesn't have that quick sand feeling like some memory foam beds do, but it is definitely plush.
Next up I will be ordering adjustable bases with remote control and massage.
Ahhhhhhh....

First time I used an impact driver to drive in a screw, I was stunned at how quickly and easily it sunk a 4" screw through a sheet of plywood and into a 4x4. Think hot knife through butter.

Right? I'd been wanting one for a while and always thought they were $300-400+. Had one of our guys help me with some door stuff on site on Friday, and used his impact a few times and I knew it was time. Plus the week before my "drill" failed to drill through 1" particleboard ikea desk at one go (had to go from both sides to drill the hole).

Checked online, $100 for the impact and two batteries, another $40 for the bits, plus ~15 mins to the nearest home depot later:

I got mine on sale in a 2-tool kit with a 2-speed drill and the impact drill. Plus a charger and battery. I was amazed how inexpensive some of the Ryobi multi-tool kits were.

New Suit. I try to get a couple of new ones every year or so and rotate out my older ones to charity. Nothing like a nice suit and sharp pair of shoes.

My Dewalt Hex drive impact is going on 5 years with heavy use and no issues. Highly recommend getting a drill chuck/hex attachment for it.

Right here. They're even on sale now. About $10 less than I paid. You get two of the wall units and 6 hangers. I believe there are four of the long ones and two loop-hooks. I may grab another set at this price. Get the 6-hook version. The 4-hook version is crappy. The 6-hook version is cheaper now anyway.
