Product review of the day for me.... Just picked up some of this on a lark while grabbing groceries.
This is the flavor of my young misspent summers! It's Bomb Pops without the uncomfortable homoeroticism and sticks. All the glorious red, white, and blue flavors, without needing to avoid eye contact with your friends while you eat it!
This is the most American shit possible.... It's Red, White, and Blue, sold at Walmart, and will give you....
But damn if I didn't just polish off a big ol bowl of it like a fat kid on cake.

Eufy 11s. Cheap robovac. Eufy is a Chinese company, but they are a subsidiary of Anker, and Anker's done right by me before when I had a cable that broke down. No worries about network security either, because it's a completely offline model.
Tried it out over the last week, and the little guy does a damn good job considering it was only $130.

I think there's several people on here that have Eufy robovacs, myself included. For the price they're damn good.

Wanted a new jacket and have spent the last few weeks trying on a bunch of different things. Pretty hard decision and one I wasn't going to make before trying them on in person.
Was in Nashville this week for work and took the opportunity to drive a little south to Columbia to check out Bradley Mountain. Really liked what they had. Their Cabin Jacket and Field Jacket are nice. Ended up picking up the Field Jacket in Field Tan. It is a little longer than the Cabin and I liked that better than having the hem line hover right above my belt. It is also less busy than the Cabin which I liked.

Other's that I tried on were from Barbour, Tom Beckbe, Filson, and one other I'm forgetting.

Field Jacket - Waxed Tan
The Field Jacket is our answer for the rancher, the outdoorsman, or the person that just wants to stand out. This jacket gives you everything you need in storage, and function, while looking clean and classic. With its water resistant waxed outer layer, soft flannel lining, and multi-function...

I've looked at similar on occasion and they seem nice but don't quite fit into my typical style, plus it doesn't get too cold here in southern California. I have a Marmot shell that I picked up last Fall and it's a great outer layer to ward off a bit of rain/wind.Wanted a new jacket and have spent the last few weeks trying on a bunch of different things.

Also, 'waxed canvas' always makes me think of the sound construction paper getting crinkled up, which isn't terribly appealing.

Yeah I can agree with all those. Will have to see how this one wears long term. Should be delivered today. Didn’t pick it up in shop bc online there was a 10% code and there wasn’t enough time to get back down there before leaving Nashville.
There were big differences in the feels of the waxes canvas, especially when it came to the weight (7oz, 10oz, 12oz) and whether that weight was waxed vs unwaxed. I barely considered the Filson wearable it was so stiff and uncomfortable, and like you said made an almost corduroy noise trying to move in it. There was one other that was similar. I did not get to try on the Freenote because the small boutique there had not received their shipment yet. She said if I’m back before Christmas they should be in.
The other annoyance was that I didn’t see until after that I guess a couple of these were in Yellowstone or whatever other show. Hated that show, and also like you mentioned from an overall style I’m not trying to be a cowboy or ranch hand. I liked this one bc it felt more outdoors/hunting/fly fishing, things that I can get in to around here in Arkansas.
The make an unlined 4-season version which you could look in to. I wanted liner bc I felt like they were shaped a little better and wore a little more fitted. We do also have days of 0 degrees here so the little extra warmth would be nice.
I also hate puffy down jackets. So looking for a jacket that wasn’t a puffy Michelin Man jacket and finding a different style was hard. Having said that…. My wife is getting a Patagonia Down With It for Christmas and my Mom got me an Arc’Teryx Cerium bc she knows my other light jackets have been Arc’Teryx.

I live a mile or two from a lake/reservoir that you can boat and fish in. It's not the most interesting or scenic lake I've ever seen, but it's close by and large and it's fun to get out on the water when the days get hot. I have some kayaks and we've taken them out a couple of times but I wanted something a lot more stable and larger. I don't want a real boat; not ready for the expense so I got this.
It's a pedal boat. It seats 5 but 3 of you have to be small kids, so 2 it is. Found it on FB marketplace practically new. Owner says it's been in the water once. Looks it.
And to move it around, I found a Harbor Freight trailer also on marketplace. This was older and well used but I painted the metal and the plywood deck and built a removeable structure to hold the boat. Boat weighs 120lbs. Trailer weighs just under 300lbs so I can tow it easily with my Suzuki.
I just finished building it out yesterday and it's still too cold and windy still but maybe next week we can take it out. There are a lot of inlets on the back side of the lake away from the boat ramps and the motorboats. We can just lift it off the trailer and carry it into the water. At least that's the plan.
