What random non-firearm junk did you buy online today?

[Joe Link]

As I was buying a cheap car mount for the girlfriend I realized that I'm probably not the only one here who buys random junk online more often than I should. I put my entertainment to necessity ratio at about 60/40

Figured there might be some entertainment in seeing what random things you guys buy online as well.

EDIT: Realized we should probably have a thread for firearm-related purchases as well.

1st-world problems

 

[Member 34319]

I'm pretty bad. Since moving to North Plains and working in Downtown Hillsboro. I'm only really on One road and see it as a hassle to drive east to get anything from a store.

So I buy a lot on Amazon.

Last purchase was 4 bottles of lemon shine. I think the wife added some shampoo to the order.

Man the day the apocalypse comes. I'll miss the Internet shopping.

buy non-firearm stuff?

out of the stuff I bought recently, this was the most - 'non-firearm.' except it has a 1911 barrel bushing nut remover, a pin punch, carbon scraper, 6 piece pistol screw driver kit and 3 small allen wrenches.

Man the day the apocalypse comes. I'll miss the Internet shopping.

I'm actually looking forward to it.

Heavily fortified wigwam, wife by my side, maybe a stash of Glenlivet for special occasions (like Wednesday through Tuesday).

I'm almost old enough to appreciate boring

I was about to say...

He refuses to move past CD's - it took years just to get him to use those (big time vinyl guy). We've offered to digitize his music and go to some form of MP3 player, but he's too stubborn at 83 to change.

@jsparks747 after you make a few you will want to upgrade the type of steel you use. A36 is just not the best for blades. I mean it works fine but there are allot better, as you may know. I make allot of parts and a36 plate is just crap. But does work for certain applications.

Yeah. I am getting this stuff because it is cheap and I can use it to hone my skills before I move on to higher quality steel.
