Needed a bigger flash drive today, so I went and got a 128G one.  Thing's already been a damn life-saver.

I remember my first flash drive...128 MB, I thought is was AWESOME since the Zip Drive only held 100 MB (before that it was 1.44 MB floppies)...

 

So we have only gone up by 1000x the space since I was in college (when I was using the 128MB flash drive and 100 MB Zip Disk drives)...in about 18 years..

If it isn't sold at Target, I'm pretty sure I don't have it (art/interior design stuff). 

Definitely not sold at Target.  However, I'm pretty sure this is the first piece of "art" in our house that wasn't thrifted or bought at TJMaxx.

Inversely, if it is sold at Target, I'm pretty sure I do have it.  My wife has an addiction.

Exactly, that is how it's done. Own up, easy to move on.

I bought a rug today.  And I was excited about it.

A little part of my soul died.

Been there. Ain't even mad about it, though. It really does tie the room together.

Transmission Flush-$200

Coolant Flush-$150

New Spark Plugs (assuming about a V8) - $150 (includes labor)

New coil pack-$50 (includes labor)

Oil Change-$40

Should have been around $600, what am I missing here?

I bought packing cubes. Never tried before, but I know a lot of people who rave about them. I'm going all in on this minimalist traveling.

Ok, I stand corrected on the coil pack, probably $350 with labor...so still only $900.

I read it as a coil pack, single, not quantity 8...my mistake.

I've also been debating these. Which ones did you get?
