What's the last thing you bought?

[DemonGeminiX]

Technically, I didn't buy anything cause I didn't have to pay for it myself, but I won a $50 gift card to Bass Pro Shops and picked up a few boxes of Brenneke home defense low recoil 12 gauge shotgun slugs and a few boxes of Remington High Velocity slugger 12 gauge shotgun slugs. They didn't have anything else that I'd be willing to purchase. I can get the handgun and rifle ammo cheaper at Cabelas, and Cabelas doesn't have the shotgun shells that I picked up. And I'm not much for fishing or camping, so whatever... shotgun slugs it is.

I lost some weight so one kilogram of assorted cheesecake slices.

Been doing some research on the best office/gaming chair with a good value for a LONG time... because I suck at pulling the trigger. My current office chair has fake ass leather that's flaking off, and the wife has notice it getting tracked around the house

Finally pulled the trigger on this baby because it finally came on sale. They have about 6 main models designed primarily based on your height/weight, and within each model there's a few slight variations in the material, so I went with the higher end one for another $50. My buddy has one and it's insanely comfortable for the price, more so than the $900 office chairs they recently brought into our office.

Went to Walmart and bought about $60 worth of personal items (toothbrushes, deodorant, soap, shampoo, etc) to donate to the Houston flood victims. One of the local TV stations is doing a big collection at the Salvation Army on Wednesday and we're trying to help and do our part. It's not a whole lot, but you can actually get a lot for your money at Walmart.

There was a rattle on the underside of my car so I took it in to have it looked at. Something was rusted and it had to be replaced. I can't remember what he said it was. I just know I didn't hear him mention "catalytic converter". My A/C freon was low (.3), so that had to be recharged. I had my brake fluid exchanged since the manual says to have it done every two years and I've never had it done once (the car's a 2006). I finally got the windshield washer pump replaced. And my alignment was out of whack, so I had that done.

Total price for all 5 things: $520.

2 batteries for my smartphone. I've got 3 and 2 of them are currently bulging. So they must be replaced.

Bought an external usb tuner to hook my antenna to the laptop. Gonna try this route til next spring when hopefully the perfect AIO cord cutting solution is available.

So far so good, the Tuner works well, the software is just OK. Doesn't have an integrated Guide, you have to look at a separate guide and manually set up recordings. Fortunately Windows Media Center in W7 and W8 can be set up with a guide that has one click recording. I'm looking into using Plex to remotely stream live TV, DVRed shows and other Media from my house to the island using my home PC or laptop. Will post a review when I get it set up.

Boss Katana 2x12 100 watt. I was able to cash in enough hotel reward points that it didn't cost me anything at all, free shipping too. It arrived at the house today. Too bad I'm still at work for another week, lol

[DemonGeminiX]

Let me know how you like it.

Well, just got home this evening. Unboxed the amp, ran both my LTD and Strat through it. Didn't really play around with the built-in effects too much other than delay and reverb. Have to say, it sounds great to me. On the 0.5 watt setting, just about right for practice. 50 watt is way loud for home use, and 100 watt is just absurd. Pro guys could easily gig with this.

Right now, have it in the guesthouse /music room, running mp3 music through it at about 1/3 max output on 100 watt to break speakers in. Gonna turn it up to about 90% after the world series is over. First dislike is I have to download boss tone studio in order to turn on the noise gate. On lead or brown gain settings, noise is bad. Feedback city, but once playing, sounds damned good. Ran through my limited Malcolm Young licks. Very, very sweet.

Friend of mine had an old 100 watt Fender amp that shook the ceiling and fixtures in his house. He also had an original Gibson Les Paul original 1960 cherry sunburst guitar (which I got to play from time to time), so that probably helped with the overall pristine, beautiful, awe inspiring, LOUD sound that came out of his setup
