It'll be a sad day for all of us if the thrill of buying new stuff and waiting for them with anticipation was gone.

Well, I guess maybe we should keep the thread going?

This is what I was going to post.

As far as continuing to buy stuff, I may have gotten to the end of that road. I bought pretty much everything I thought I would need for machining and welding, & now I only need to buy consumables.

However, I am still buying consumables so I am still technically “buying stuff”.

I don’t regret any of the *quality* purchases, but I’m afraid I do regret almost all of the econo-import purchases.

I have the perfect example. Last week while vacationing in Florida, I visited a secondhand store targeted specifically to men. Most of the stuff was golf and fishing related but there was a tool section where I found this "must have" gem...

The device is meant to enable a single speed non reversing drill to drive screws, taps, etc. Of course it is basically obsolete as variable speed reversing drills are now ubiquitous and which I own at least a dozen. But I had to have it, because, you know, ya never know...

I have more constraint now that I'm retired.
But, the buying here and there continues
