    Vehicle license plate holder that doesn't have the dealership advertisement on it. Also a Polish stoneware mug; I like using a "special" coffee mug. This one holds 12 oz so a good medium size.

    My special mug is huge too. It reads, "It's my body I'll have pie if I want to, pie if I want to..." I got it long ago before all the liberal "I can do what I want with my body" crap.

    Since my new vehicle didn't come with a spare tire, I decided to buy a small portable air compressor for the trunk. This one has good reviews all over the internet so I chose it...

    VIAIR Digital EVC88P - Portable Air Compressor Tire Inflator for Car, Truck, SUV

    It weighs less than 5 pounds and a little over 9" long so will fit in a compartment or under the seat.

    I have been looking into solar generators. They are advertised to be able to charge your phone, energize a light, charge your laptop...I want it to be cheap but still be able to run my chest freezer and furnace.o_O
    But I while back I got a solar crank radio. After forgetting it in the window for a while, I find that it can run an emergency radio, charge my phone, has an exceptional light... so can check all those off already.:)

    I bought a replacement baton/LED light/taser. My old one bounced on the floor and the taser stopped working. I've had it for over 10 years and the rechargeable batteries seem like new.

    The LED light has lo/high/strobe settings. It will disorient someone.

    I purchased a firewood sawhorse. It worked well yesterday when I devised a way to load logs onto it with the tractor then drop the cut firewood into it. I don't know how well it will last, but my initial experience is good.

    I got a Titan Stormproof Match kit because I am tired of dud matches from high humidity in the summer. But now I am kind of afraid to light one. "They stay lit no matter what" for maybe half a minute. You can't just blow them out after lighting an oil lamp while you try to put the chimney down.:eek:
    Of course, I often light a candle to use to light crappy matches for other things.:rolleyes:

    "Titan matches stay lit under water and in gale force winds."

    From Amazon.

    I found a Coleman lantern left at the flea market a while back but it didn't have a power cord. I can see why it was left behind. I also ordered AA batteries and some rechargeable AAA batteries and a hair product. I put the order in today and the batteries were just delivered. Sweet.

    I ordered a 43" Sceptre TV from Walmart yesterday and it just left Arcadia, California this morning according to FedEx tracking. My Vizio is 14 years old and has been acting funny lately so I'm due for new. This model is probably one of the last "dumb" TVs to be available. Everywhere I looked was "smart" TVs and I aint interested.

    We have three of them and one spare. I want to stay dumb for as long as possible.
