A mini food processor when I do some mini food processing. You can't have enough kitchen gadgets.

Welp, I had an unexpected expense come up. Both rear calipers on the "winter beater" froze up. Originally, the right side caliper was frozen. I noticed that when I bought the car, but it wasn't too bad, so I put it off. The day after New Year's, I went to get gas before work and heard a grinding noise from the right side. I pulled over and took a look. There was no pad material left on the brake pads. So, it was metal-to-metal contact. The right side rotor was hot as all hell.
So, I went to Advanced Auto near my job. I paid $12.80 for the rear brake pads (ceramic), $16 for 2 rotors (usually want to change the opposite sides' pads and rotors for even wear), and $12 for the rear right-side caliper. The store is closing, so everything was 90% off. Today, I got to my mechanic; he was changing out the left side rotor when he pointed out that the left side caliper is also bad. The seal on the inside was non-existent. So, he ordered me a left-side rear caliper with a corporate discount for $62. I wish it were $12 Anyway, I ended up spending $430 on parts and labor If I hadn't gotten the 90% off deal, I would've paid close to $700 for parts + labor.

Some more Goodies for my Humidor. And a Digital Cigar Torch.
I'm not a Pipe Tobacco smoker but I love their aroma! These cigars are from a famed Pipe Tobacoist. Quote:

Well...so much for that healthier eating this year. Looked at a 22" blackstone from Costco, but by the time I'd add legs to that unit...I was in 28" territory. 36" is just too big for my needs...
Did a hibachi for my first cook after seasoning. Chicken fried rice with egg, onion and bean sprouts, few filets, sea scallops and teriyaki shrimp. 🤤
