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.

Harbor Freight Drummond 110v Transfer Pump

This little pump is the best investment i have made in a long time. Harbor Freight sells these little 120v transfer pumps for about $65. They can be had for less than $50 using a coupon. I think tehy claim they can move 300+ GPH. They claim they are not for dirty water but seems to do just fine with leaves and grass clippings etc.. The come complete with a short length of standard garden hose for the inlet side and also has a nice surface fitting to suck water off the surface of something like a concrete floor. Very handy and in my experience will suck water down to ~1/8 deep. I picked mine up on a whim from HF more than a year ago as i was having some flooding issues in the yard in the spring. The low spots filled with water and with the ground still frozen there was no place for the water to go. Fearing it would continue to fill up and i would have issues with water getting into the house i grabbed this. I have used mine nonstop for hours and hours. I have run it in freezing c...

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 ...
