Getting high quality parm from whole foods Amazon delivery is also a great purchase.

Also the razor talk got me thinking about my beard trimmer. I think I found a review on Wirecutter that named the battery powered version of this the best but was like "plug in is more reliable and lasts longer and performs better but people prefer battery power so we think the battery one is the best" and they are wrong- get the plug in version. Fantastic purchase

I've been buying higher quality cheese lately and it is very much worth it.

I've had gas chainsaws in the past and they were always a pain to get started.  This thing is perfect for my needs.  I'm not felling any large trees, just mostly routine tree trimming, or disposing of fallen limbs and stuff like that.  But so far it seems this thing wouldn't have much trouble with larger jobs as well.  After my initial hesitancy I've been buying more and more electric outdoor tools including a string trimmer, hedge trimmer and blower.  I love them all and I don't foresee ever going back to gas unless I get a much larger property that requires longer run times.  I bought a push mower last year and now I wish I'd had the balls to go electric on that too.

Nice, i've started doing this too. I should have stuck with the same brand though. I have the black and decker chainsaw and small weed whacker. The chainsaw is great but the whacker is just ok. They both use the same batteries though, so that's nice. I also have a Stihl leaf blower and it is incred. Stihl is pricey, but this thing blows the concrete off my patio. I'm considering the Ryiobi riding mower. Its a pretty big investment though. I've heard its great, but the issue is there aren't a lot of places that work on them when you do have an issue.

Yep I have the same issue.  My weed whacker, blower and electric drill are all 20v craftsman that use the same battery.  My hedge trimmer is a Kobalt and now my chainsaw is a Ryobi.  I bought the Ryobi because I really wanted a 14 inch and the Craftsman electric saws didn't get great reviews.  Kobalt hedge trimmer was a gift.  It's nice but I would have bought a 20v Craftsman hedge trimmer if given the choice.

You can get wavy steak from booth creek just across McCall road and it is terrific. Not sure on price difference/quality difference.

These are great for sitting on the couch or your favorite football watching chair and stuffing your face with some Cap'n Crunch.  They really shine with hot soup or chili. Too hot to handle?  No sir! I've got something handy(lol) to hold onto that keeps my daddles from feeling the burn.

looked online, they look really great. walmart is a step below, more of a value pick. i'd say wal-mart would be the go-to for regular steaks, booth when you want to treat yo self or others. and then japanese a5 for really special occasions.

Do you buy pre-made dough for the pizza?  I love crispy fire cooked pizza, but I don't want to have to eff with making dough...I'd never end up using the thing.

I do not.  I don't think the pizza oven game is for me.  I have a Buffalo State pizza 4 miles from my house. I will just double up on my trips there.

ya pete, even for someone like myself who has spent a lot of time mastering dough and sauce recipes, the ooni is more of a novelty than a tool i’d use all that often.

I bought an egg slicer that I'm really happy with.  So much easier to slice eggs now.
