Just ordered a new battery for my laptop. The laptop is 3 years old, but, honestly, it still works fine for my needs. I felt that instead of trying to spend 300+ on a new laptop it'd be better to spend less than 30 shipped on a genuine HP battery.

So theres that.
Laptops in general are getting less powerful and the price is actually going up. Don't bother upgrading anymore.

That is my plan - hold onto this for as long as I can. As I said, it is working fine, just the battery doesnt last anymore, but for less than 30 USD that should be fixed, we shall see.

Today I decided to carry My Leatherman Juice C2, which I rarely carry. I opted to use this vs my typical Style PS + Vic Cadet (or, sometimes, Soldier). I figured this would give me a slim profiled pocket carry while still offering the same tools (almost) - pliers, screw driver(s), knife, bottle opener etc. But I really dont like the corkscrew.
I just purchased a granite Leatherman Juice S2 off of REI for the small price of $47, plus I added 3 packets of Clif Energy Gel to get me over $50 and get free shipping. Was needing/wanting that anyway (the energy gel) so it all works out. It'll arrive in a few days (I think Thursday).

I dont know why I like them so much, but been on an anchor kick lately
just bought this and a matching black one (still brass anchor) off of Amazon. Both were $13 shipped. Hopefully I dig them when they arrive. If not they'll be gifted ha

Not EDC related, but I just bought some new hockey gloves and helmet (as well as some stick tape, a puck, and some other random stuff). I've been using the same gloves for the past three years, same for the helmet. I purchased the same helmet cause its a great helmet, fits good, great protection etc, but I figured that it might be time for a new one since this one has taken quite a few hits. The gloves - I'll post a pic at some point, but when you thumbs are poking out because youve worn the synthetic leather out...its time. Same for the big hole in the palm.
Waiting on a pair of 20/0 circle hooks to use as key chains. . Yes, I want to rise fish hooks as a key hook for my keys. Figure they can bring in a 1000 pound shark, pretty sure they will hold my keys on a belt loop. I'll need to file down the points a little though.
