I watched Modern Marvels: Fast Food Tech last night and got a serious craving for
Went looking for boots today. Ended up buying some cheap steel-toed shoes from Wal*Mart, only $25. I also picked up a pair of almost knee-high rubber boots, also with a steel toe, for $18. Probably a bit more than I need around here, but I wanted something I could walk around in the mud & sheep without worrying about messing them up. I also bought a cheap pair of ice crampons, but they don't seem to fit my old boots or my new shoes. I'd have to drive a nail or something into the heel to make them stay on. :P
I ended up spending a lot more money than I expected today; while looking at flashlights in the sporting goods area, I saw a Gold's Gym weight machine for a mere $190. I've been wanting to get back into weight training (I used to lift weights in high school), and thought this would be a good opportunity, especially considering the other machines I'd been considering were $800 and $2000. My SO had been wanting an exercise bike for aerobic exercise, and they had a recumbent for $100, so I bought one of those too. Now if I could just buy the willpower to keep using both machines every day....
