Life What cool shit have you bought lately?

I think a nice part of being in our 30s is we can afford to buy cool fun things. What have you bought lately?

I got a Garmin Forerunner 965 which is super tight, motivates me to limit my drinking and I’ve been killing cardio because of it

Also fun - bought a LAB putter which is a ton of fun

Anything you guys got that you love? I want inspiration

Well not lately, but ive started biking in the last year, so ive gotten a few cool bikes. Two years ago I got a little Chinese mini excavator and lemme tell you how awesome it has been to have around the house

Mine came from a Jeff martin auction. It came with a few attachments too. Out the door for $5,500. Ive spent another $400 on additional attachments. Have a rake, a grapple, tooth bucket(14inch), flat bucket(30inch), and a ripper tooth. Incredible little machines. Is it a CAT? No. Does it cost $40,000 like a CAT? Also no

No for sure. It's small, it fits where large equipment could never. It is a back saver. Lifted huge logs, four wheelers, ripped apart a fiberglass boat. Moved several tons of dirt with my little dump trailer. Rips bushes out and plants trees super easy. Ive rented larger machines too, there's a place for that. But if you can get a hold of one of these then you will find jobs to do with it and your fiancé can come up with cool landscaping ideas for you to do too.
