I have car parts on hold (Custom hood louver, C&R radiator, Titanic Triple HE, plus I panicked and bought a 2.9L G4 Whipple when they were on sale). I have been spending my money on shotgun shells, reloading components, and clay pigeons.

They (whomever they is) claim vinyl is the purest version of recorded music and better than a compact disk, cassette, 8 track, etc.., My belief is the re-presses are better because technology advances and well, vinyl is susceptible to a great many factors that just come with age. Lately I've picked up a few soundtracks that were originally released when the movies hit the screen but oddly enough many tracks and such were not included until now.

My COVID splurging has consisted of nice parts for my dirtbike rebuild.
Going through my 2005 Honda CR250 top to bottom. Just dropped $500 on a carburetor from Lectron fuel systems... supposed to be the bee's knees for these bikes.

The .45 ammo I just bought 2 50 round packs and 25 rounds of Defensive rounds.
The 5.7, got SS198LF, 500 rounds for $500. Which was about the price for that type of bullet. I’ll keep that as defensive rounds for years

I'd really like a ps90, shot one awhile back at the range and loved it. But damn its like 30 bucks to fill 1 magazine with the cheapest ammo I can find lol. I like to put a lot of rounds down range when I go so that would get expensive real quick. Hoping with the introduction of the Ruger 57 that the demand for ammo will drive more production and reduce the cost somewhat.

Since Covid I've picked up my first FEL tractor (83' Kubota B6200), a bunch of parts to start bringing it back to great condition, my first 18' trailer to bring my 69' Camaro 555ci BBC project car (16 year build now started by my Dad and finished by me. He died in 08') to the track this year, and a coil over front end kit from Global West for it. I also picked up a Bakflip MX4 bedcover for my 14' F150 5.0 STX.

Staying busy is an understatement lol
