My mother bought my wife and me our Christmas Tree like she usually does. It's way too small for our current stand, so I bought this just now:

I bought a Samsung 970 Evo 2TB NVMe SSD for $239 CAD. Going to use it strictly for loading games. Great price since it's regularly $419 CAD.

512 GB, 400+ MB/s read and write? Patriot Suspersonic Rage Pro. On sale $67 Amazon.. They also have a 128 GB for $25. Not sure of the rates on it though, probably a bit less.

It is also pretty small:

Not quite as exciting, but somehow necessary. AZ $17.50 - $5.00 = $12.50 (no Tax)

I bought this, and it seems pretty nifty and quick. It's USB 3.1 on one side and USB-C on another:

We have to go to a tax attorney. You don't want to know the cost of that...

Ugh. My wife needs new tires for the back of her BMW M2. Those tires or made of really soft rubber and don't last many miles... And they're not cheap. You got a pretty good deal on winter tires, all things considered.

Yup.. far from cheap. I only have to file for my pension and I get all of that back.

When my parents retired, they would get all of their taxes back. They filled out some paper work from the IRS and they didn't have to pay in or file any more.

Nice but in my case I have taxes taken out on my pension so I have to file to get that money back.

Well.. I need to get one of these for Erin.. here's is breaking and I might get one.

She's loves BMWs and had a little 135i that was getting old and starting to incur repair costs, so I wanted her to have a sporty, new one. Her M2 is probably unique or rare at the very least because it has a moon roof. They had to modify the car in Germany and ship it over. Since we have no children and are dual income, I figured we could splurge on her. She loves her car!

When I was shopping for a flash drive, this is one I was seriously considering. I purchased the drive I showed you because it has the USB-C connection for those days when I'm impatient.
