I upgraded my 3D printer recently and bought a very fancy lathe.

Bought a Smith and Wesson revolver recently that I love. Eventually I’ll buy a Ford Raptor.

I ordered a brand new 2025 Sea Hunt 255 UltraSE yesterday, it comes in sometime in Sept. We have a condo in Perdido Key with a boat slip and lift. That’s where it will stay. If I didn’t have a place on the water I’d probably not own a boat. I hate towing and launching all the time. I’ve owned a boat for the last 12 yrs or so. Had a camp on Grand Isle before Ida took it away. Boat stayed down there full time unless I was having it serviced. Spend probably $2k a yr on maintenance if nothing is actually in need of repair. But I do love being on my boat, I loved fishing GI. In PK it’s more sandbar chilling and cruising. Fishing ain’t as good but I love it down there and always want to be on the boat.

I have a 40x60 shop with about 1/3 of it as a dedicated wood shop. I have a stock of birch plywoods, new and old cypress board and poplar. When it’s time to build I don’t have to go to lumber yard. I build for myself and family only. Never for money. It’s one of my happiest places in the world. I have a large dust collection system and all my tools have a spot so when I’m working in their I can stop, leave and comeback later and not have to pick everything up or move stuff around.

I play golf but don’t spend a lot of money here. I used to play a lot but I only really play now because my son has picked up the game and it’s a place to hang out with him.

I have a ton of crap 38hp Kubota tractor w/ loader. I love the tractor but with 2.5 acres is more of a 38hp wheel barrow. I do loan it out regularly to make sure it’s getting run.i have a Hustler SuperZ to mow my 2.5 acres. ?? bitch is fast, knocks it out fast. Wife says sell it and hire someone but I’m picky about my place looking good. My shop looks like a Yeti & Grizzly cooler warehouse! Not sure how I’ve ended up with so many?

You don't really have a toy until you have a rock bouncer. You don't really have a rock bouncer until you destroy a rock bouncer.

I mean... Technically I'm half the expected lifespan of a us male.

Every daily driver since 2012 has had at least mid travel suspension.

During my divorce I bought a 2000 dollar fuel efficient beater and put 4000 dollars worth of speakers in it because there was no one to bitch at me for enjoying my paycheck.

I really enjoyed the 40 mpg and heart thumping bass. For a few months.

Get a reel mower



That’s exactly what I’m saving for. Might I ask you what kind of reel mower you purchased?

Just remember the 3F rule…if it Floats, Flies, or F*cks, it’s cheaper to rent it.

I don't have one yet. Might get one for the next house.
I modified my Ego to cut lower and I'm happy with the results so far.

California Trimmer is entry level as well as a few new ones I've recently seen on Facebook groups.

I bought my first "Brand New" vehicle of my life.

I've been working for 30 years and finally decided to spend some of my money on me, I didn't go nuts just an F150 STX two wheel drive with a 2 " lift/level kit.
