I think I might have been working in this sex shop for too long now, because my first association with the word "flashlight" wasn't an electric torch. "Programmable triple emmiter?! Must be a new feature."
Anyway, bought groceries, and decided to try my first beefsteak tomato. Is it any different in taste than a regular tomato, or is it just the size and shape that's different?

The world of LED flashlights has become a specialized genre of electronics. There are "flashaholics" out there who obsess over the latest LED emitters, drivers, and such, frequently modifying flashlights on their own. The days of a flashlight having one incandescent bulb surrounded by a reflector are now way obsolete. Even one LED has started to be displaced by multiple ones. Most common are triples, some quads... and now... even more than that.
What you see here in this photo is the Fireflies E07... having 7 emitters, plus six small colored LED's for an ambient color effect in the front end:
Plus, the "user interface" (the mechanism to control operation), is well beyond ON/OFF. This light, plus the one I showed above (the FW3A), have a programmable UI called "Anduril." The light can operate in stepped or ramping modes, has 5 different kinds of strobe options, to include "lightning storm". Plus various configurable options like thermal control (and turning ambient LED on/off). Yeah... things have changed a lot.
Forget about beefsteak. Get yourself an heirloom! That's a general term, as there are hundreds of heirloom varieties. As for taste, it's all about where you buy it. Grocery store tomatoes generally taste bland. You have to get to a farmer's market to taste "real" tomatoes. One compromise I've discovered is "Kumato" tomatoes... which actually have a ruddy brownish cast rather than red. They're really more flavorful than traditional hot house tomatoes.

An impact driver attachment for my Black and Decker Matrix drill.
I never understood what they were good for until recently because I've never used one before.
Now I realize why I've been stripping so many screw heads and bits all these years on tight screws!
Once I figured that out I looked on Amazon but since I think the Matrix has been discontinued the prices for this attachment were insane (over $100!!!) and when I was at Menards yesterday I saw they had it for $25!
Had to get it.

Art supplies, including oil paints and self-healing cutting mat.
Well, I'm probably going to disappoint you: they're for painting effects on miniatures and scale models. It's something new for me. The limit of my artistry (such as it is) is in sketching and, sometimes, painting in acrylics. I don't think I would have the patience to paint on a canvas in oils.
Oils are my favorite medium.
I envy your strength in sketching!
As for oils vs. acrylics, I tend to work slowly and meticulously when painting and acrylics just set too quickly for my taste. Not that I find them impossible to work with, but a person certainly does need a different technique for each.
I can believe they do. I can say two good things about acrylics : they dry fast and it's easy to control transparency. Make a mistake, wait a few minutes and paint over it. On the other hand, acrylics destroy brushes. I do tire of frantic brush cleaning.
I think that my wife hopes that I will fall in love with the oils I bought.

Doctor Who: The Christopher Eccleston & David Tennant Collection DVD (Wal-Mart)
I have most of the stuff on this DVD set, but looking online its cheaper to buy this for $20 new then it is to buy Series 2, the Specials and The Christmas Invasion (the stuff I don't have) separately. So, I now have all of the RTD era of Doctor Who.

nothing major, but I got a magnetic tank bag and is is making my daily commute much better.
For some reason I dont like messing with saddlebags, and mine dont hold much anyway. This handles lunch, phone, tablet, towel (you better know where your towel is) and a few other things. I can use it with the saddle bags for that weekend trip i was going to make this weekend but refuse to now because its freaking 95 degrees right and its not even June (end rant).
