Stopped by the local thrift today. Had a bunch of Ultra Duster Industrial Strength compressed air cans for $1.99 each.

I bought all 23 cans. Dropped a few off at my dad's and an old timer friend of his.

Wasted a half can scaring the cats and then blew 3 years of funk outta my power supply.

Definitely saved some coin today.

i still dont like throwing money away. i used to make water bottle rockets with a 2 litre plastic bottle and a tubeless rim valve. you could drill out the base of an empty can and solder on a schrader valve to refill the can.
 
I have refillable pressurized bottles as well, use them with prepping for my powder coating hobby. My compressor water drier is not that reliable. Much safer to use this on sensitive electronics. Compressor air contains contaminants.

Plus, it was easier giving extra cans to the old man and his friend.

I found a marine radio at goodwill, they thought it was to play music in your boat, because is policy that any com gear goes straight to online auction. sometimes cool stuff slips through the cracks so its worth stopping by if its on the way.
 
When I bought my Jeep Rubicon in 2003, it had a blah AM/FM radio. My wife came home from the Salvation Army a few days later with brand new looking OEM radio with CD player for $10.

I slapped that puppy in there real quick. It didn't have a mark on it.
 
i guess thats how it works, but i figure someone has to win it, why not me. i got just as much a chance as anyone else.

my oldest brother got the first 5 numbers one time and just needed the power ball, payout was only 2k if i remember right, with the powerball number it would have been jackpot-that was 10 or so years ago
 
We'll take the computer duster at work, turn them upside down, and freeze someone's boot sole you don't like. Whack it on the deck and it'll crack open. Then you put it back on the rack and walk away.
