Post Your Last Purchase XXVIII

Checked the mailbox after my morning walk, and inside was my recent kickstarter purchase.

It's the most recent Kickstarter project from the artist who started Inktober.

Can't wait to find a place for that sticker on my iPad Pro Magic Keyboard case.

As close as I can find to a trenching shovel. Technically it’s just a narrow shovel head, and who knows what the Chinese use it for but it’ll (hopefully) do for my purposes.
 
Some leaves have already started changing. 😭 This just dropped $50 so I bought it online for in-store pick up. Now all I need is more beer for the assembly.

Because it was something I wanted to do and it was fun through the whole process. Also if i went with NZXT or maingear, I would have spent about $500-$600 more.

Got it, yeah it is fun. I’ve built a few PCs in my life before joining the Light.

I’ve got a Raspberry Pi Windows 10 build in my future myself.

I noticed that here the other morning too, and some had had the nerve to fall onto my lawn!

But I'm not going to do anything more expensive than get a new set of garden gloves to ward off blisters from when I start leaf-raking later on. Your idea (well without the assembly challenge) does sound like more fun in the longer run. Anyway the new half of my cheapskate leaf management option looks more like this.

Looks like someone had to import some leaves for that pitch, no? Every autumn, I have enough leaves on the ground so that the best approach is just clear a space to lay an old quilt on the ground and then rake bushels' worth of the stuff into the quilt, bundle it up like so much laundry and tote it out to a compost area (some rabbit fence arranged in a circle with a diameter of about 8 feet and pegged into the ground temporarily). Rinse, repeat and then do it all over again about a month later lol. Add grass clippings and water and veggie scraps in the next growing season, turn now and then, and a year or two later unpeg that leaf-corral and reap the harvest of "good dirt" for the gardens. By time I'm done with any of that, I always figure I've worked off some calories from the potato chips I somehow sneaked onto my shopping lists meanwhile.


And so of course my latest purchase this summer has been not leaf management tools but... yeah, potato chips, or crisps for you folks on the other side of the pond.

During the coronavirus pandemic I am relying on delivery of perishables and assorted contraband snacks, and since I live in a rural area I'm lucky I even have two supermarkets near enough to have engaged Instacart for shopper-driver services. I usually order ridged or plain potato chips just featuring "potatoes, salt" since those are the ones most likely to be in stock. They go well with plain nonfat Greek yogurt....

Truth be told I’m yet to find a flavour of crisps (chips to you) I don’t like.
