    ...let's hear it

    I got myself a couple of things:

    1. Leatherman Wave, it's too nice to abuse I wish I'd gotten a cheaper Gerber instead
    2. Gearwrench serpentine belt removal tool
    3. Lisle bearing packer (the kind where you fill grease into a cup and press)
    4. 3 legged oil filter wrench ( http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_02820523000P )

    Well lets see I got myself a new Domke F6 camera bag for some of my gear, a few other photography related items. I was just eye balling a new Weatherby rifle that was on sale I might pick up.

    Do not fear, my surge has stood up to loads of daily use and abuse. I was just talking to a fire man today that has his blade chip bad. He called em up and they said send it back, no receipt necessary. They reeealy stand behind that 25 year warranty. :D

    New Mechanix gloves for the wifey and myself and possibly an Iphone. That plan will change if indeed I did just burn up my wifes car, then Christmas will be spent shopping for a new winter beater.

    A D6 always worked for us at Cal Poly for the anual Dual Sport. Owner took it to the top of a bush / tree covered hill near his own track and pointed down. Made an awesome hill climb for those who were brave enough.

    I stopped at Cabela's on Thursday for lunch and saw in their advertisement they had Carhardt Jackets for $39.95.

    So after the sales lady and I couldn't find one single jacket, she asked me if I wanted to substitute another coat and she pointed to a $110.95 jacket. SOLD.

    And I ordered issue #2 of the Japanese Nostalgic magazine.
