Happier topic...I'm looking to spend $1000 or so on myself
Jun 9, 2020, 11:17 AM
|
|
for my birthday. things I've considering - a new bicycle, a gaming system of some sort, stereo equipment, trading in the Orange car for something else (that would obviously be more than $1000, but you know. whatev), new appliance for the house (boring)...
As you can see, I'm struggling for ideas. What other colossal wastes of money are there out there? note: I purchased a new grill in March. So that's off the list.

more toys...spend on experiences rather than material items. I know it's harder to do in the wake of corona, and less things that are fully open, but it's at least something to think about.

Endless customization options. Tons of parts available for the Axial SCX10's, Murcielago has a Traxxas I think so he could tell you more about those.

Redcat is a good one too with some lower priced options. Not as much customization, but there are a lot of parts available at the hobbie shops.

New consoles are in the works and will be out soon (next year maybe).
As for stereo system, Bruh, I'll GIVE you a sub if you want a big MFer. 13" Elemental Designs A series. Been sitting in my storage closet for a few years. Been trying to give it away for a while butt no takers. Pigs below are not mine but will give you an idea if you're interdasted.

go to some super-expensive restaurant and go all out. Way long ago, around 1980, I won a $100 gift card to a ritzy Houston restaurant. They had peacocks wandering around the tables. I took a date and we spent way over the gift card. Back then it was a challenge to spend over $100 on a meal for 2. But I still remember it.

So much stuff you can get to add onto the grill depending on make/model. I know some of the griller/smokers on here have the Meater thermometers. I think they've upgraded them for distance etc. I think Father G® has one maybe. Or get a separate pizza oven like an Ooni.
My go to for self indulgence tends to be food/cooking related.

Because if not, you don't have a grill yet.
Just kidding. A bike will run more than that for a good one. A gaming system will be outdated by Christmas. If you go stereo, go Sonos. I've got two of the little ones on the covered patio and I can scare golfers if I crank them up. Tremendous bass from two little speakers. And with a grand, you could get a couple Sonos ones and a sub and be in heaven sonically.

Lot's of ways to play this
Jun 9, 2020, 1:41 PM

1 - hookers and blow 2 - I just bought a grand worth of options that should print (this should be 1 for more hookers and blow) 3 - New irons 4 - Fishing kayak 5 - Matthews Bow 6 - New drumset 7 - tonneau cover for my truck (lame)
Things that could add up to a grand: - smathers Grateful Dead head covers for my woods (so tight) - more fishing tackle - 3 wood - heady ### record player - sonos amp + speakers for record player - gas grill or one of them flat top things (still undecided which direction to go)

That just about sums it up.
It's probably been 20 years since I had a drum set. My last one had pre-tuned snap-on heads that I bought for next to nothing at a yard sale. I'm not a drummer, but I love thrashing away at them. I actually thought really hard about snagging the Tama cocktail set that my buddy's music store had on sale for $299 last week.

because I had no idea it would last this long ------ some sort of high-end convection/steam/air fryer/rotisserie/toaster oven thingamajig. I've worn the small 10-yr old convection oven I have slap out cooking at home the past weeks. Wish I had a really cool modern featured one to experiment with.
Anybody got a great one? I keep seeing the Emeril Power Air Fryer 360 on late-nite TV infomercial which looks intriguing. But infomercial tho.

speakers to try an outdoor movie set up.
yes this could end up being way more than a$1000...depending on the projector I get (amazon one for a couple hundred? or a real, bonafide one from best buy for no less than $600 ?)
