Life What's The Last Thing You Treated Yourself To? - Page 6

I got posed this question at work a couple weeks ago and it threw me for a loop.

So what's yours? What's the last thing you treated yourself to? Something you acquired just for you that falls outside of your normal purchases.

I bought some of those life vests that auto inflate when they hit the water. Thy're the best ones if you land in the water unconscious and are face down.

Actually, I have splurged on a few things lately. Today I bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a tabletop propane griddle. Going to put it out on the screened in porch on a table next to my Weber Gas Grill for doing breakfast like scrambled eggs and bacon and hash browns on Sunday morning. I can also use it to do burgers at Arrowehead tailgate. It's portable, has three burners and you can use it with a small propane bottle, or (I bought the adapter) a quick connect setup to a normal sized propane tank like you'd use with a Weber grill.

Ms. Blowfish and I finished our restore of our 1997 Cougar. We've been restoring it for about five years and just got it done. New V8 engine (less than 10,00 miles on it), all body and paint, all new interior from floor to ceiling, new Goodyear tires, all new suspension and exhaust, and final touch was a new Pioneer Sound System with all new speakers a couple weeks ago. Going to take it for detailing next month, and it's done. Here's a picture from back around May after the body and paint work, and before the interior work. The inside cloth and leather is just like when it rolled off the showroom floor. There's a few blemishes from 23 years of ownership, but it looks pretty choice. And it runs like a bat out of Hell.

An old friend had a Cougar around that year in HS. Drove pretty fast until he grenade'd it doing neutral drops like a dumbass. Ah memories.

A half pint of AA and a cherry Coke as a mix.

Only drink alone when mixing music.

Being so close to SE Asia I can take a short flight to Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam. The quality of the hotels you can afford is awesome.

Went on a Costco run to celebrate buying a new place and loaded up on meat. That's my kinda splurging. Bought a $75 side of KC strips and some random meat here and there. Prolly dropped a quick $150 just on meat, but my deep freeze is well stocked now.

Thinking I'll get a handgun too here pretty soon. Thinking 9mm but haven't done too much research. Meat and guns, the most American way to treat yoself.
