Dickies Men's Diamond Quilted Nylon Jacket

I have an old KEY quilted jacket from the 1960s but the zipping started failing and it is extremely beat up. I have had it since i was about 12. It is still one of my favorite jackets and i may go get the zipper replaced some day but its almost not worth it. If i could find another jacket just like it i would pick it up in a second.

Anyway....looking for something simular i found this. This jacket has been around for just about as long.

When i first got it i hated it. The collar and sleeves drove me nuts and the jacket is a bit stiff and puffy at first. I still used it and wore it over my hooded sweatshirt all the time. I slept in it and washed it a few times now its one of my favorites. Tough as nails as long as you are not welding or near a camp fire. Cuts wind great and is warm, light and made well. Over time it has softened up and is fine now. You dont even realize you have it on.

Verdict: Great. Recommended. Definitely not garbage.

Stanley Insulated Coffee Mug

This thing is fantastic. I believe it comes in 3 different sizes. I am a bit of a thermos connoisseur meaning i have a lot of them. Everything from vintage ones to food jars to mugs like this. In my opinion this is WAY better than Kleen Kanteen or Hydroflask (Yes i have both). Those appear to be more of a fad. IF you want something that works well, get this Stanley. i have the 16oz version. It keep stuff hot for a very long time; Same with cold. I think they run ~$20 and you can get them at Amazon or locally at Walmart. I wont go into that because nobody cares. Pour your liquid into it and then drink it. If you are pouring your liquid into it to let it sit for a week and then complain when it isnt still the same temperature, you are kind of an idiot. The pictured lid style is now harder to find but i believe it looks and works better than the latest model. Yes i have both. The current model is also very very good and would be my second choice and it is ...

Anker Rechargeable Bolder LC90 LED Flashlight

This Anker LC90 is really good for the money. Great Flashlight...but more importantly you can run it as a bike light using the mount recommended in another post just below. I had to shim it with a small piece of plastic from a milk carton but it worked out great. Its a bit larger and heavier than your normal small pocket LED flashlight but its SUPER bright and works really well on the bike. You will surely be seen with this thing. Verdict: Recommended.

Ryobi 1/2 inch impact...non brushless

I finally got around to picking up a cordless impact. This is not the brushless version but im not sure why you would need that over this. I have used this regularly with the big batteries and it does everything and then some. Removed 174 ft lb 35mm axle nut on a truck. Removes lug nuts no problem. Pulled all my shocks out front and rear to put in new ones....no problem Remove steering rack bolt at 120 - 140ft lbs no problem ...and im in the rust belt. Massive corrosion on everything. Its a monster for the price. It runs $140 but you can get it much cheaper if you watch for sales or bundles. I think i gave $99.
