Picture of Last Items You Bought (NO WEAPONS)

Josh-PA · 03-26-2021, 01:58 PM

2019 E450. My first Merc, so far very, very happy with it.

Edit: I tried 5 times to get the interior pic to not be upside down, but no luck.

Sounds like fun. Fingers crossed for ya.
So you got a refund from last year? I had the option to get a refund or hold the tickets over for this year. I also paid in advance for my accommodation which is called the "Moshtel". It's essentially one half of a 20' seacan (two separate 10ft rooms with a door and a window, a cot and a sleeping bag, a folding table and two chairs ). It's the single most expensive "hotel" room I've ever stayed in. It's about 1000eros for three nights. No toilet, no running water but you do get an outlet for charging phones etc.

I actually didn't spring for tickets last year, so this worked out great for me. This is one of the bands that has been on my bucket list for years. They played about an hour from me year before last, but it was a 3 day festival. I'm 44 and a homeowner, festivals don't sound fun to me in the least anymore. I enjoy a good show, but I expect heat/AC and a soft comfy bed after.

Picked up a new bike for my wife. It’s been 18yrs since she rode, so starting out slow.
It’s actually a pretty fun little machine.

colorado.e9x · 03-27-2021, 01:52 AM

Is that a 310? I was just looking at one the other just for a work commuter but then after looking at the 850's....all those creature comforts sound nice haha

Nice bike!!!

Buug959 · 03-27-2021, 10:45 AM

I had to retire my old multimeter. After at least 25 years of faithful service it is finally showing its age. Out of the blue it started giving random and impossible readings. I immediately thought battery since I couldn't remember the last time I'd changed it. Nope, new battery didn't help. No obvious signs of any components letting the smoke out so it's time for a new one. Meet my new Klein MM400 ($65CAD at Home Depot). It came with a thermocouple too. Don't know that I'll ever have a use for that but hey, I got it if I need it. I hope it gives me the same service as the old Mastercraft did. If so it will likely be the last one I'll ever need.

Have you tried the new meter's test leads on the old one yet?

My trusty 1980's Radio Shack digital meter occasionally has strange readings until I rotate the banana plugs in the sockets to clean out the oxidation. I also had to change out the test leads at one point, because one of them had some sort of loose connection near the probe end that would occasionally go wonky.

Funny thing is that I still reach past my Fluke on the workbench for the Radio Shack meter...because it cost me more in the 1980's than the Fluke did in current times.....

Not the Klein leads but I actually bought new leads about 6 months ago. Its worth a try though. Either way I'm going to keep the Klein just because I want to. Good idea though. Thanx.

Yeah a G310gs.
I have a f650gs twin(detuned version of the f800gs) and for just a commuter I would definitely go 310. Stock Suspension sucks if you are over 150#, but it’s a fun light bike.

Got a cruiser. Starting to be a tight fit in the garage...

I've been trying to find some olive green trainers for a while. Actually got a deal on these.

Send them back - you're missing a pedal.

I bought a clutch pedal from a previous generation of my car, because it matches my pedals on my automatic and it happens to fit perfectly over my e-brake pedal. Now, all my pedals match. I feel you on this purchase.
