After 5 months of waiting, I finally got my locker to add on to my rollcab. Threw some LEDs to rear fir dramatic affects.

Nothing as fancy as some recent posts here, but I needed a ladder for use around my house where the ground is not level. This ladder has self leveling legs. You can extend each leg by as much as 7" by stepping on the lever at the base. It also opens up to make a straight 20" ladder, although I doubt I'll use that much.

On sale now at Home Depot for $179 if anyone is looking for something similar.

Lightbulb

Decided to replace my Xenon bulbs in the 7.
I've had the old school Osram Cool Blue Intense that have served me very well over stock bulbs.
Now these Phillips are according to all reputable sources, the new king of HID Xenon bulbs. We shall see.... Literally.

Didn’t take too much convincing. She likes go-fast things. I planted the seed that the n5x stock had almost more power than her old car had FBO. Plus she drives my car enough to feel the difference, and saw how easy I got it from stock to its current state. (Which is still really conservative for an n54). I had shown her a few 1ers and 2ers since she likes short stubby things, which is why she’s with me

she also knows I like wrenching on bmws too so she thought it’d be a good way to have a diet project car for us to work on together.

New cam with color night vision to replace one of my older, less capable cams. Works very well. Nice clear image in full color at night.

First time I've seen this model under $110. That's why I decided to try one. It's PoE, too. I just unplugged the older model and plugged this one in. Same mount. Piece-o'-cake.

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.
