Floor mats for the X5...

bosstones · 05-22-2025, 12:05 AM

An assortment of cap-related things and extra oil for a pending oil change (note: I hate it when they change the packaging from what I already have....makes me think I ordered the wrong stuff).

Newest purchase. My loppers and personal strength can't handle some of the bigger branches. I supposed I could ask my pool boy but I don't have a pool.

New Pots & Pans for me to continue "Crafting in the Kitchen"...

Great minds think alike, I got a great deal on a set of Calphalon Stainless Steel which is a nice change from my Non-Stick from them.

Nice!
I have another drawer of stainless cookware.

I picked up my first set of progressive lense glasses. I never had glasses before and It really suck’s getting old. They are the Oakley Rafters in matte black.

M_Six · 05-23-2025, 08:06 PM

Ubiquiti 24-port switch. Boring to look at, but the Unifi system it runs on should be listed as a controlled substance. It's addicting.

How do you like the progressive lenses? I could never get used to them myself and just have the normal bifocals.

Also had cataract surgery in both eyes many years ago which helped quite a bit.

Esteban · 05-23-2025, 09:12 PM

^ Good looking glasses, btw.

Marmugmotleocay · 05-23-2025, 09:15 PM

I have only been wearing them for about 4 hours now and so far so good. I just have to remember that my nose is the pointer for sight. I also have a pair of Oakley progressive lense safety glasses on the way so no more readers at work.

I also tried them and hated them. I had to go back to regular bifocals; I tend to look a lot out of the corner of my eyes when I drive (among other times) and the progressives just didn't allow for that. When I do wear glasses; RGPs are my correction of choice; I much prefer the bifocals.

No PoE on the main switch. I don't need it. Just normal gig ports.

I tried them once and was nauseous after a few minutes. I tried to fight it for a hour or so, but it got really bad. The eye doc said to give it a week and I'd get used to it. I thought, "A week of being nauseous? No thanks."

Went back to bifocals.

Went back to bifocals.

My wife, who is extremely nearsighted, can't get used to bifocals and has to have a separate pair of glasses for reading/up close so I guess we should consider ourselves lucky we can use bifocals.

(Not sure but I think it is rare not to be able to adjust to simple bifocals.)

Just for expirement, random 1/2" electric ratchet for random home use. I have same others from Aliexpress too and no problems so far... So why not.

I have a Ryobi power ratchet that I keep ready to go with the socket that fits my bike rack. Makes mounting/unmounting the bike rack on my trailer hitch a whole lot easier.

I can't imagine what you're doing that requires 24 ports of non-PoE in a home! I've only got 12 ports total for everything at my house, including the wifi access points, VoIP phone box, PoE cameras, NVR, NAS, etc.....

Yep, I have 3/8" ratchet also and 1/2" impact wrench from Aliexpress too. Been using the 3/8" for many months now without a problem.
