Are you getting yourself a gift this year?

I plan to get this for my garage. https://www.petrolvibes.com/products...85c60f4c&_ss=r

Cheesy yes but I know my significant other won't get it as I asked for a few tools so I can be more productive at work.

Going to get myself an electric corkscrew. Don't know which one yet. Anyone bought one that they like?

I've never tried one and will be interested to hear what you get and how you like it.

I think I've tried all the non-electric types over the years. I've been using a waiter's corkscrew for the past decade or so. It's a German model (such a coincidence! ), and its geometry, I guess, works better than all the other waiter's models I'd tried before.

I bought myself a new radio control transmitter for my 25 aircraft fleet. I also bought a new Rainbird irrigation controller with WiFi to replace my 12 year old controller.

I think I'm going to get cross drilled and slotted rotors and new pads for my car b/c brakes are important and my wife would likely prefer me to not have brakes so doubtful shes getting me them

I'm getting myself 128 gigs of RAM for my computer. I've been slowly building my dream computer over the last 2 years and this is the last piece I've been wanting to upgrade. So I figured I'd get for myself as a present.

How much do you have now? I run 64GB and have never been able to use it, and I do music studio with lots of plugins at 96khz, photoshop, video editing, gaming, astrophotography image integration, the latter uses the most, I hit around 45GB ram usage when processing data…. But that’s it. With windows taking another 10GB, still leaves lots of room without ever swapping to SDD.

My thought is you might get more bang out of really fast 64GB and leave the other two slots open? Unless you know you would use 128GB.
