Pyrex Bowls with Handle P-150-B or V-150-B

Pyrex bowls with handle. These are fantastic. They are the perfect size for meal prep and can go directly from the fridge/freezer to the oven or microwave. You can get lids for them too but they are getting hard to find. The V model is the clear Visions line and the P model is the white one.

Pyrex later branded this as the GRAB IT bowl. Same thing...cheaper logo.

There are fakes out there too. Make sure it says Pyrex on the underside of the handle or you probably have a piece of dumb garbage. They made them with a few different patterns on them and even made one for Corning Ware that has the blue corn flower logo. The one shown has a glass lid. I have only ever had one of those. THe plastic lids are better but both are hard to find.

This stuff is very durable and can be dropped on a hard surface and not break or chip Pyrex was developed by NASA (from what i read) to be used on rockets and used on the shuttle nose cones to survive re-entry. I guess if it is good enough for that, it is good enough for my soup.

These were huge in the 80s or maybe I just think they were because i used to eat out of them all the time. Still do.

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. Verdict: Recommended, Link: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-18-Volt-ONE-Cordless-3-Speed-1-2-in-Impact-Wrench-Tool-Only-P261/205885687
