Some Arizona Ice Teas for me. Regular even. 8)

Fate Zero Trial Deck for TCG/CCG called Weiss Schwarz and some card sleeves.

Oil change for my truck, which is just about to reach 100,000 Miles. Considering the fact that Deseri's long overdue for one, I think she deserves it. :)

Anyone know why this thread was moved down here? ???

Ask WorkTroll.
I just bought lunch and a ticket to see Wreck-It Ralph.

It would work if you had one of these crazy cross rams. I don't know why he wants to run this - it's crazy expensive to put it together. The plugs (6 of them) for the intake bolt access holes are $115. They are $330 if you get them from Chrysler. :o
The joke is that the plugs are the rear end inspection plugs off a 7 1/4 rear end
-
why are you inspecting his rear end? ??? :D :D :D
-
A new DVD player.
-
why are you inspecting his rear end? ??? :D :D :D
The rear end plug in your barracuda is worth more than the whole rear end ;)

A Cobra 24 CB after my Galaxy 949 crapped out. Turns out you can't just *return or exchange* a Galaxy, you have to ship it to their repair facility to get it fixed. >:( That means I'm out the radio until it makes the round trip.

Black Friday goodness:
Kohls: my wedding band, pair of pants, picture frame - 160 dollars, saved more than 500USD
PetSmart: Dog cage, leash for possibly second dog and a sweater for current dog (No hair on his stomach, and this is a drafty house, so prudence, etc)
Northland Proshop: Warrior Swagger goalie pants to replace the NHL spec KOHO's I've been wearing. (There's a failed plate in the left thigh area, and I can't get a new plate, being that the thing was custom made for Pascal LeClaire) RBK 8K Goalie stick, 27" paddle, Price curve (My Bauer One80 is looking a little risky, so I just wanted something on standby in case it breaks)

Diesel - $96.20

New HDTV. Nothing as the security guards didn't expect they were walking into a classic ambush. 8)

A few books for the second-hand Kindle I just got.
BTW, is there a way to transfer PDFs from my computer to a Kindle? It'd be a lot more convenient to have one Kindle at the gaming table than all my books.

I thought about that too. But I was going to wait a couple of months to see if any of the sales would start in.
-
I found that getting a hotel room near the convention was typically worth more than saving some money but risking getting stuck several miles from the convention center. The last time I went, I believe I'd reserved my hotel and plane tickets by the end of December.
-
Does anyone bother going through the GC Housing website to find a room? I tried it years ago ('85-'91!!), and found I could get a room cheaper - at the SAME hotels the Con was using - by contacting them directly. :P So basically, using the Con site for the "Special GC Room Rate" meant paying more for the room. Gee, how Helpful. ::)
NOT! :P ;D
I think I tried giving them another shot back in 2011, when I went for my first GC since '91, and the results were the same. I didn't even bother last year or this year, as I didn't see any point in it. Yes, I'm staying a few miles away rather than a few blocks, but the room is considerably cheaper also. I also take a cab back and forth and leave my car at the hotel all weekend, and consider it to be money Well Spent. I don't like driving in big cities, plus there's also the hassle of finding a parking spot, which you then have to pay for. No thanks. The cab drivers get me there Just Fine. O0
On Topic, I bought groceries last night, including Bacon Jerky!! [drool]
-
That's why I got a room a few blocks away- I didn't have to bother with driving or getting a cab, I just took the shuttle from the airport to the hotel and walked to the convention center. I thought it worked out great- heck, I could even go back to my room between games.

A Memory of Light, the last book of the Wheel of Time. Halfway through rereading the series in preparation for it.
-
The lab manual for my physics class.
Given that it's a print-on-demand book that's done on campus and the school knew how many people were enrolled in the class, I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that they were sold out before half the class could get one.

Either they didn't order enough(people make mistakes, after all), or somebody's looking to gouge the class in a way the bookstore couldn't. Just my 2 cents, and I could be wrong.

MIB BD Rifleman. I think I've got about 6 of those little guys now, although this is the only one that's MIB. ;D
I'm not sure why I didn't post it earlier, but I also bought my dad's property Monday. It's 92 acres (70 of it wooded), with the large house he lives in, the small one I live in, plus his large workship and a few other small buildings. That's not counting his 3 deer stands either. ;D I are now a Property Owner! Which means I'm the one that gets to pay all the taxes on it at the end of the year. Yay. #P Well, at the end of 2014 I guess, since I didn't actually "own" it on 1 January.

Oh, I'm Sorry to hear that. Wait until you read them, then you'll understand why I say that. I've got 1-6, plus the Annual, and the best thing about the lot are the first 2 issues, plus all the covers. The story and art in the first 2 are the only ones that are worthwhile, in My opinion. The other's suck you in with the covers, then kick your feet out from under you with what's between them. :P I Hope the Seller didn't steal too much from you! ;D

The following old XBox games: Predator Concrete Jungle, The Terminator: Dawn of Fate, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Turok: Evolution. Of them all, Turok was the only one "New", still Factory Sealed, though the other 3 were Supposedly "Tested and Work", so I guess I'll find out when they arrive. :-\ All are also Supposed to be Backwards Compatable with the 360, but I've bought a couple in the past that were on that list and couldn't get them to work. :P
-
Predator: Concrete Jungle sucked. I hope you didn't pay more than a buck or two for it.

Got the LARGE Lot of BT Crack I won recently, full of Old School Goodness! It might not have every 'Mech from TRO 3025, but it's got most of them anyway, with 2-3 each of the Unseens. >:D The bad thing is, there's also bits and pieces of things in the box, that I've got NO clue what they go to. I've even found a few lower legs and upper torsos that have me confused, not to mention various arms and miscellaneous bits. :-\ I guess once I finish pieces together the things I know, I get to start trying to figure out the "Mystery 'Mechs"! :D

Some minis!
Only "Some" minis, or Many minis? :D And which ones? ???
I just bought a CD - San Patricio by The Chieftains. They snuck it out when I wasn't looking! :P (Back in 2008.) I'm also looking at getting the "Deluxe Edition" of Voice of Ages (also by The Chieftains, from 2012), but I'm waiting to hear back from the Seller. The "Item Description" says S&H in the US is Free, but the "Shipping and Payments" tab says S&H is $3.00. :o

Yes trying! The clowns that are making it keep pushing out the day it's available. Looks like I need to wait another three weeks :'(
You'd think at $2075 they'd be going a little faster ;D

Ahh, like 25 or so, from all over the place. Mostly secondhand stuff that's been archived but quite a bit new from IWM as well. Finally saved up some enough to do some splurging. For awhile I had everything built but about 15 or so NIB Clan mechs. That's been rectified :)

Man, last time I was there, the Jihad wasn't even officially underway- I played in a WoB vs Wolf's Dragoons canon event.

A Weber Performance Platinum grill. My gas grill would have cost more to repair than buying new. I missed live fire, so I went with the charcoal, with a propane jet for faster ignition. And my wife and daughter bought me a grill gazebo as an early Father's Day gift, so I grilled all weekend in pouring rain. Which I would do anyway, but this way I was dry...

this year it was various Snord's Irregulars events
-
Nice. Actually, the events I played in there were where I got my first taste of running vehicles... by surprising a Zeus with my Mantaffel' Prime's 5/8 movement and giving him a full six rounds from my RAC straight into his Center Torso Rear. Good times.
Anyway, to keep things on topic (in the Mechwarrior Hall? That's crazy talk) I just bought a Philly Cheese Steak for dinner. Not an authentic one, but it's not exactly easy to find authentic Cheese Steaks this far from Philly anyway, and it was still pretty good.

A set of RJ45 crimpers. And a didgeridoo.
Why?
Why wouldn't someone by a didgeridoo is the question!

But do they make a digitaldidgeridoo? :D

Digitaldidgeridoos don't stand up to analog didgeridoos in recording setups larger than a four track.
I'm totally guessing. O0 O:-)

But do they make a digitaldidgeridoo? :D
Yes, they do. http://www.goana.pl/home/ Not that I am going to run out and buy one. I am having enough problems explaining to my wife why I bought this one...

Though it means payments for the next five years I managed to get me a replacement vehicle after the last was suicide attacked by a deer (or maybe a small sasquatch). Sat. June 29 I drove off in a 2007 red chevy cobalt. Mighty satisfied with its performance so far.

Last year it was about 20 of us, and came to (roughly) $3,444.12. I'm waiting on an Invoice for this year's stuff, before I'll know how much a lot of the Bits cost. Someone got a bunch of WOB Celestial Omni bits, that aren't in the Scrap Yard, among others. 8)
I started doing this in 2011, and it was only for about 12 of us then. It EXPLODED last year, then got bigger yet this year. :o #P

A few CDs on discount at Hastings including Dio's best hits, Cherry Popping Daddies Forever Album and Survivor's Eye of the Tiger Album. :D Also got a free old piano keyboard (was my younger brother's and it's not a weighted keys model, but still not bad) that will let me get back to pretending to be a musician.

Not sure about next semester books yet. That is the next big purchase. Most of first semester books came from Amazon. Some used, some new and one rental. Saved a couple hundred total. Lucky enough to have some gift cards. Family gets them for me and my youngest daughter because we read a lot.

I recently acquired a MINT RP Assault Lance box set, still in the shrink wrap. O0 Sure, I paid a LOT more for it than I needed or wanted to, and I've already got a few of each of the minis separately, but now my collection of the old OOP Lance Sets is complete! 8) I'd like to get another of the Regimental Command Set, since the one I've had for 25 (or so) years is open, and the Atlas has been painted. :-\ Still, if I never get another one, I've got my open set anyway.

See, people like you aggravate the Hell out of me. #P I've had some Pretty Good deals on my BT Buys over the years, but I've NEVER gotten an "AMAZING!!!" deal like that, or like some others I've heard of. :( I've paid At Least "Sticker Price" for each of the Lance box sets, for instance, including the original old Clan box sets. Some of the OOP, Unseen Lance sets I paid double (or more, like this Assault lance!) the Sticker price. #P I'll just say I might have been able to buy a RPUK Mackie for what I paid for this Assault Lance. :o
Yes, "Ouch!" is right. :D
And aside from the Regimental Commmand Set and 1 Recon Lance set, all the others are still sealed, including a 2nd Recon Lance Set. I won the open one first, then eventually got the sealed set. :-\

I got lucky when I stumbled over to game store that I knew of in So Cal. They were having a going out of business sale of 90% off. BT blisters were 73.5 cents. I bought it all.
Over 700 blisters.
I had been in this store over 10 times but they never had this inventory out on the floor.

AWESOME Score! O0
Makes me wonder 2 things about the store though.
A. Before their "Going Out of Business" sale, how much more inventory did they not have out on the floor?
B. If they would have had said inventory available for sale, would they have stayed in business? ???

They must have had a mad bonehead doing the ordering and stocking the product.
They had two dropships and a ton of Battletroops that were never on the floor. I think I ended up with 9 Shootist minis. WTH?

Just bought my GF a 2007 Nissan Ultima LE. She was in an accident and they totaled her Rodeo out. Just this morning I found seasons 1-5 of Ancient Aliens on amazon for 46 bucks AND free shipping! Happyness is laughing every time I see this. ;D

Sorry to hear about the accident. :( Yeah, sucks when the insurance company decides to declare a vehicle totaled. But at least you where able to get her a new vehicle. :)

Got tickets to see Alton Brown when he comes to town next week (early Christmas present for both myself and a high school buddy from our wives) and tickets to the 3D simulcast of the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special for my littl' Whovian's 10th birthday.
The Alton Brown guys night out may also include a cheeseburger served between a pair of Krispy Kreme donuts. I haven't decided if I want to commit to that level of indigestion. :D

Picked up my Prestige Edition copy of COD: Ghosts from Best Buy today, along with the strategy guide.
I then went to Target, Just to look around, and wound up buying four Christmas CDs. Between the 4 of them, I've got 3 versions of White Christmas (Bing Crosby, Andy Williams and Lena Horne), 2 of Silver Bells (Johnny Mathis with Percy Faith and his Orchestra and Doris Day), 2 of Sleigh Ride (Bing and Ella Fitzgerald), 2 of Winter Wonderland (Bing and Dean Martin), 2 of The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) (Mel Torme and Doris Day), and 2 of I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm (Dean Martin and Bille Holiday). So yeah, the Youngest of any of the singers is still a Senior Citizen. ;D Now I won't have to wait until Thanksgiving each year to hear them! :D
Christmas CD Titles (In case anyone cares):
Winter Wonderland: A Traditional Christmas - Volume 1
Silver bells: A Traditional Christmas - Volume 2
Romantic Christmas
A Crooner Christmas: Baby It's Cold Outside

I got a new 39" Envision TV last Friday, because my old 26" was going out on me. I can now read the messages when I'm playing video games! I can also see the "mini map" at the top of the screen when playing COD:Ghosts now also! I also got the CD "Bad Meets Evil: Hell the Sequel", with Eminem and some other guy. Mr. Porter? I'd never heard of him before, but I like Eminem. ;D
As for the Christmas songs, none of them are the more "Common" versions you hear on the radio these days, covered by whomever the newest pop group is. #P As I said, these are by Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Wayne Newton, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Eartha Kitt (Santa Baby, of course!), Mel Torme, Nat "King" Cole, Frank Sinatra, and several others from the 50's/60's. You know. The GOOD versions of the Christmas songs. O0
Although I have to admit, when I hear Wayne Newton I'd swear it's a woman singing. :-[ :o The songs were OBVIOUSLY recorded early in his career! :o
I've encountered a problem when I ripped them to my HD though. I can't find the correct "Media Data" for ANY of the 4 CDs. :P I had to "Edit" the info for nearly every track for 2 of them, 2 have no "album cover" picture, and the other 2 have the wrong pictures. ::)
-
Gah, it's too early for that, man!
In general I agree, but since they wanted to start selling me Great Lakes Christmas Ale already I'm willing to oblige on that front. ^-^
-
Acquired a FASA-era Clan Wolf insignia patch
-
Just bought some BattleTech minis.
-
A pita and some paint strainers. Turns out zinc coated bbs still rust in acrylic paint... I can save most of them but I need the strainers to move them to some of my hundred or so IWM paint bottles I got at Origins last year.
That'll be fun... :/

Going low on purchases lately - working on hammering my mortgage

Doll for one niece, doll for another niece, and a small Lego set for one nephew. Had to limit my purchases to a $25 cap, and I still got one more nephew and my folks to buy for.

I actually got my hands on an XBox One: Day One Edition at the local Best Buy today! I got my days mixed-up when it was released, and was going to be there at midnight on Friday night (the 22nd), but it was released at midnight Thursday night (the 21st). #P Fortunately, I stopped in earlier Friday evening, and when I asked an employee how crazy they thought it would be at midnight, they said "Oh, that was last night". Doh! :o Another employee said if they got any in during the week they'd have to hold them to sell on Sunday, because of their Sunday Ads. I figured that Sunday (the 24th) was out, so I thought I'd try my luck this morning, and they had 4 of them. There were 4 guys in front of me, waiting for the doors to open, but they were wanting the PS4, and when a clerk came out and asked if anyone was waiting on anything in particular, he told them they (Best Buy) didn't have any PS4's, so they left, to head to the local Target. Now I get to wait until I see my buddy Widow Maker down in Memphis in order to update the stinking thing, before I can play anything on it. :P Yay.
I also got the new paperback SW book, Scoundrels, 2 new SW comics, and the newest issue of Jonah Hex. O0 I can't help but wonder, after reading SW: Dawn of the Jedi: Force War, Rancor's aren't bad enough, they had to make Flying Rancors? :o Rancor Dragons? Holy Hell! ;D Luke had it EASY!

A Christmas Tree.

A large BT Box Set collection, including a COMPLETE BD Box set. 8) FINALLY! Sure, the minis are assembled and the counters have been glued to comic board, but at least the sucker's complete! O0 I got a LOT of other things with the Lot that I didn't need, but I was tired of waiting for a Complete BD Box Set. #P
I also got Red 2 and the Collector's edition of The Wolverine, both on Blu-Ray. I also got XCOM: Enemy Within (Commander Edition) for the 360, a 5 CD collection of Jimmy Buffet albums, a 5 CD collection of Styx albums, a CD from Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Dreams of Fireflies (On a Christmas Night), then the CD Trace Adkins: The Kings Gift (Celtic Christmas Collection). I wasn't sure at first of the last one, because I've NEVER heard of him singing anything Celtic, or having any sort of Celtic connection, but one of the songs (I Saw Three Ships) has The Chieftains on it, so I couldn't pass it up. O0 He also does Silent Night with Kevin and Lily Costner, so that should be interesting.

A bottle Rittenhouse Rye. Great, spicy flavor; 100 proof; and cheap. With the cold snap out here, I have Sazeracs on the brain.

1971 Dodge Challenger exhaust system - mufflers, resonators and over axle pipes - $400

Baldur's Gate complete and Baldur's Gate 2 complete from Good Old Games. I just installed the Baldur's Gate Trilogy mod right now, which lets you run BG1 & Tales of the Sword Coast using the BG2 engine, now I'm installing some of the extra content mods.
Edit: Blake's blood! I didn't realize that they were the standard editions of the games rather than the Enhanced Editions, which is what I was trying to get.
-
Nothing just bought, but Lin was very pleased with the holiday haul that included Brave on DVD, a Grumpy Cat T-shirt, caramel coffee cake coffee and various candy for stocking stuffers. O0
-
Well I still have to decide on the final list but I got $50 that can only be spent on Steam. So hurray?
At least the gift card dollar value is under $100 this year.
-
Steam huh? Aw, I'm Sorry. :(
;D
As a dialup user, I've got NOTHING nice to say about Steam. :-X I'd heard about the Enhanced versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, and thought of getting them, but after hearing they were "Steam only" . . . :P
I recently got my all-metal Millennium Falcon bottle opener from Think Geek! O0 Sort of a "Merry Christmas to me, from me" thing I guess. ;D I'm a little bummed that the upper quad turret is barely recognizable as such, but aside from that, it's got some nice detail to it. It's only the upper half of the Falcon, and there's 2 small magnets on the bottom. They're not strong enough to hold it to my PC case though, so I Hope they'll hold it to my fridge. Then again, I've got a bobblehead Boba Fett "Monitor Topper" sitting on top of my PC (my monitor is too thin for him to stay up there), so maybe Han and Chewie were too nervous to hang around with Boba looking down on them? :D
-
I can understand your frustration. For a good long while even the supposed "broadband" connection we have here wasn't good enough to let me get along with Steam very well either. The connection has since improved and I've largely forgiven Steam simply because it means I don't have to find the damn CDs, don't have to fight with my barely functional DVD drive, and it is not the most obnoxious form of DRM I've come across.
So my net loot has come to the total of Dawn of War Dark Crusade, Dawn of War Soulstorm, Dawn of War II Retribution, Europa Universalis III, and FTL.
What can I say there are things about both Dawn of War entries that I like that are not present in the other and I got fed up with not being able to find my Dark Crusade CD and never got to try Soulstorm either so why not since I had $50 I could only spend on Steam anyway and I already have most of the games I care about anyway. Sales tax did mean I had to chip in an extra $2.22 but considering everything I nabbed that ain't bad.

An Icom ID-880H and an Alinco DR 1200. The later's going to be converted into a 9600 baud packet station. Why? Cause I'm friggin crazy, but not crazy enough to dissect a brand spankin new radio. :D
Even if said radio can be used for packet. Sides, I've got an old router I want to test, and if it really is kaput, no biggie, just buy a new one and slap the proper cables onto it. Of course, I doubt I'll ever get to utilize the full 9600 baud, since everybody in this neck of the woods is using 1200, #P but it doesn't hurt to have that capability. BTW, full disclosure, I'm a n00b when it comes to packet.
