  • 2 cat l, 2 dog house: I have the Ryobi dual roller from this list and if you’re in the US, the $250 sale price is a bargain with the 4ah battery and charger (don’t be fooled by the single roller variant).

    Then you have a battery that can run all kinds of other tools or gadgets you might want in the future.

    I will say that if your primary use is handheld, then it is a bit awkward. But it’s way better than the Dyson v8 we have upstairs.


  • Cousin had a 1.5h hellfire and brimstone service with an altar call in an unairconditioned church on a weekday afternoon on the Midwest prairie on a hot August day 120 miles (~192km) away from my house.

    Weak perkolator coffee, grocery store sheet cake, and bite-size sandwiches (limit 2) served in the basement afterwards.

    We were asked to clean up after ourselves and break down the tables and chairs after 30 min. Church doors were locked and we were ushered out after another 30min.

    Last cousin wedding I went to.






  • $100+ USD for a 6oz A5 wagyu steak. Certainly changes your perspective on the heights of quality for steak. I also paid $65 for a sashimi grade tuna Benedict at this place for brunch. No ragrets.

    $60 for a 1/2 pour of an $1100 bottle of bourbon (rabbit hole amburana). It was a novelty and surprised me a lot. Definitely phenomenal, but a taste was all I needed. No ragrets.

    Sam adams utopia (think it was $220 for the 750ml bottle of “beer”), not worth it, but a fun experience to share with other beer nerds.

    There’s an apparently $1200 bottle of wine from a small napa vineyard with a wait-list for their wine in my basement right now we got as a gift. We’re gonna need to find a pro who can help us taste that. My wine taste tops out at about $30 a bottle.

    One day I’ll do Omakase at a suitably awesome sushi place and wreck the credit card.
