Mine is titanium because but it was still only $60 and I've never taken it off so I guess it's fine.
December wedding though?

Hmmm, good to know about the sawzall!
I've fully converted. Im blown away with the cutting capacity of the sawzall compared to my old makita. The entire line up is impressive. I even got their large blower which is very although it is by no means the BEST elec blower, it works well and I keep the same battery system

I LOVE my Ego outdoor equipment. Fully acceptable alternatives to gas powered things. I'll probably pick up the blower soon.
I wish DeWalt would make a sawzall like the Milwaukee one. I'd buy it today. I'm still using the corded cheapie I got from Harbor Freight because I can't justify spending more for the same thing from DeWalt.

Curious how you end up liking Milwaukee, I’ll probably get an ecosystem going in the next 6-12 months.

CPO Tools sell new and factory reconditioned tools for cheap. When I worked in construction I bought from them a ton.

Yeah, they sell all of the major brands in individual stores.
The handle can screw into either side.
I'm balls deep into Milwaukee ecosystem and couldn't be happier. I have both M12 and M18 stuff. The variety of tools is what sets them apart for me.
I really like Makita too but the just don't have the variety

Dropped some cash on some native Nikon Z mount lenses this week. Also bought some drop in filters and a Nisi filter holder.
Now I can sell my F mount 50 1.4, already sold my 85 1.4 to an employee.

Thanks!
She was a bit nervous at first before we headed out to the , almost wanted to back out of the whole , but once she drove it she started feeling comfortable with it almost immediately so she then started being happy. Today she drove it more and started to learn how to use some of the features, like BT. Her old car had a crappy BT that would never automatically sync to her phone so she never used it.
I'll write up some impressions and relate the whole purchase story in the car thread.

Interested in your reviews of thisCorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 12:48 pm So, after recent events and realizing how important sleep is, I bought a new bed last night.
Ended up getting another Sleep Number, but this time one that raises/lowers your head/feet. Also bought a few accessories like the custom sheets and one of the temp controllers to make the bet warmer/cooler. Came in at just over $11k
It has the whole SleepIQ setup that works with your phone/tablet and monitors your sleep/restlessness/out of bed time, heart rate and more and tracks it all. The manager at the store showed us his personal last many days report, pretty cool.
