roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted May 10, 2019 Bought a Keurig K-Elite coffee maker. My last (good) Keurig bit the dust a few years back and I was too lazy to make the drive to the city to replace it so I bought the only one for sale in smalltown Ontario, a K Mini. Decided to upgrade and got a K-Elite today...enjoying my first coffee out of it right now RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I survived (barely LOL) the trip...and the china cabinet (an antique so I'm told) survived too. A big curved glass door and mirror unbroken. I charged so much less (like nothing) and gave a better guarantee than movers who charged $$$ and no guarantees the glass wouldn't break And in two weeks I hit the road again, to Toronto. And today (don't really like calling it a purchase) the lady received payment for the date (reason for going to Toronto) In two weeks I'll be like this guy...well sort of🤪 A rambling RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted September 7, 2019 Some "Febreze". I live in a nice clean apartment. But sometimes culinary disasters or else from other tenants creates strong smells travelling hallways and range hood vents and stays for days. A short spray makes a hell of difference without making the place smell like a cheap motel. This thing works. Thank you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted September 23, 2019 Road trips to Toronto and back cost a bit, gas wise that is. Gassed up the truck today, refilling what was used on the trip.

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted October 6, 2019 Took a drive to the city (not a so big city, but closest one to me LOL) and bought a couple shirts at Marks Work Wearhouse. Then back home, stopped at the grocery store, picked up a roast and some veggies, either tomorrow or Wednesday I'm doing a Crock Pot pot roast...first pot roast I've ever done. Sadly no potatos though, doing this keto diet😥But there is a keto friendly slow cooker recipe for pot roast😋 A rambling RG 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
