The "I need to brag about a gear purchase" thread
Fry Daddy - 5 Bucks - Goodwill! I actually bought a few years ago but just broke out for first time in a while. It was brand new but I think it was made in the late 70's or early 80's. Classic frylicious goodness. For the ski theme, will use for quick apps après ski this year. Today cooked organic red bliss fries and Costco Mozzarella sticks in coconut oil.
Snagged this Marmot like-new soft shell made of Polartec Power Shield for $35 shipped off Ebay. While I love my CO FreeRide Systems gear for when I need a big-time shell, I wanted a lighweight, highly breathable softshell for touring. Stoked to get it out on the trail.
thats the key... they'll never know
What was for lunch?
If I were a betting person, I would bet a salad from Mad Greens.
Picked up some skis and bindings for my husband:
Black Crow Orb 178 skis for $350 (https://www.evo.com/outlet/skis/black-crows-orb - now sold out of the 178)
Tyrolia Attack 13 bindings for $119 (https://www.levelninesports.com/tyrolia-attack-13-ski-bindings-2017)
Yay!

I took a gamble on the "destination" salad at chopt. It's the Nashville hot chicken salad....meh.
I'll stick to my usual (once every three weeks salad) - Texas po boy. That salad tastes like cool ranch Doritos!
neither of those sound like salads ....
That's why you're a programmer and not in sales.
I'd gone to Racewerks at the end of this past season to purchase a race helmet, and ended up getting a Shred Basher NoShock (don't care for the styling, but it was the most comfortable one they had at the time) for like $125 I think it was.
Fast-forward to last week, and I was looking for a chin guard. I run across https://www.sportsprotective.com/ who is currently going out of business, and see that they're selling the identical helmet for $45. At that price I figured I'd leave the chin guard on one and just swap helmets for GS, and have a backup helmet in case one gets damaged.
Also ended up getting the chin guard for $10, and a Slytech backpack for $40 or $45 I think it was. Some smokin' deals on there... Wish I'd caught it when they had more stock.
Also ended up getting a pair of 2016 Head i.GS 181cm 25m skis + FreeFlex Pro 14 bindings for $420 shipped, brand new, from ASOGear.

^^^ I got a pair of Head Rock n Rolls from ASOGear a couple of years back, at a least a year after they had been discontinued. $400 incl. Marker Griffons. I thought they were a pretty good outfit.

Tis the season for ski related purchases. My Santa Ana's arrived yesterday. Off season is often the best time for deals and besides what else are you supposed to do during the summer.
