The pic isn’t displaying, dak.
Weird, it works for me. Replaced with a plain image.
I see it now. Nice choice!
Been eyeing something in the same vein, myself.
I pull a 5k 29 foot trailer with my Ram 1500. It does pretty well, but heavy winds and hills make it strain a bit. I did get a sway control bar and that has helped a ton.
Otoh, when I am not towing I get 18-20 mpg and the interior competes with a luxury car.
Meet Albert. 10yr-old Jack Russell, no teeth, mostly deaf, partially blind, skin cancer with possible aggressive tendencies. Currently just hanging out but I’m pretty sure I’ll cave. Not sure he’s adoptable to the general public due to his issues; also not sure it would be fair to Albert to put him in a home that may or may not be able and willing to follow up on this.

I’ve always wanted one of these, but never really got around to finding one.
I took a look on Amazon the other day and this will be delivered to me today.
I especially like that it has no stickers on it. I can burn my company logo onto it.
I don’t play cricket, never have. I’ve always wanted to just have a bat laying around the workshop for fun.
I can use a Forstner bit and some chisels to hog out some holes and add a bottle opener insert on the back just for giggles.

I sold my Behringer Model D analog monosynth and used the proceeds (plus some birthday money) to acquire an Arturia MicroFreak [short demo video]. It should arrive Tuesday, snow permitting.
Also, I bought a vinyl skin for my Novation Circuit just to make it pretty because sometimes you can do that.

Probably the biggest (and most WTF?) plastic kit I have ever bought - and the one with the least number of parts (4!).
A 1/1 scale kit of the 88mm Pzgr.39/43 (APCBC-HE) L71 Armour-Piercing Shell, as fired by the German Tiger II tank back in WW2.
Assembled, it will stand almost 4 feet tall - as shown in the photo from my local hobby store’s website. (There was a better image, but it shows the person in a replica PanzerCorp uniform, which I am uncomfortable posting, as some idiot will mistake it for an SS uniform and promptly get triggered and go all spastic.)
Right now, it’s out in the garage de-fuming all the solvents in the primer.

MSI 14" Prestige laptop (Intel EVO platform)
Light and fast, it’s a great portable photo editing machine for me. After a few years of not having a laptop, it’s finally nice to have one again.

One thing they don’t tell you when you’re RV shopping is how much you’re going to spend on all the other crap you need to make it livable and be prepared for random shit to happen to you on the road.
Anyway, I spent an hour or so on this beautiful afternoon changing all the locks on the trailer (cargo doors have the same key as every other RV. That’s now fixed, one entry door has a keyless entry, and all locks are now keyed identically).
Now, if only I had an HD truck keychain to put those new RV lock keys on…

Good call changing the locks. It is something people don’t always think of doing.
So easy just to have a key and gain entry to somebody else’s RV without anybody being the wiser…
Seriously? That’s just lazy design/ manufacturing.

Even better - there’s the regular lock plus a deadbolt on the entry doors. Those are keyed differently from one another! So you need 2 different keys to get into the RV’s living space, but you can go ask anyone in the campground to borrow their CH751 key and get into your cargo hold(s).

My RV keys have their own keychain. As for sharing the same keys, keep in mind these are access doors that can be forced with a stout pocket knife.
And the endless buying of random things for the camper is never over. Welcome to the club. Now you get to play the game where you divide your total cost by the number of trips you’ve made.

Well we actually got it on Monday, but my partner is now the proud owner of an SGI Fuel with 600MHz R14k, 4GiB RAM, V10 Graphics, and Audio, FireWire, and SCSI cards for nice I/O.
This is by far our most powerful vintage machine, and the most capable. It’ll be put to work quite a lot through the creation of the assets for the cross-platform game engine we’ve been faffing with 
Excuse the dust bunnies, the fan on this could sail ships over the Atlantic
