Its all I use nowadays. I've used a MIG one time in the last 5 years or so and that was at @tx_shooter house. I sold my MIG a couple years ago. Stick is so much more versatile and its all we have at work so I'm just used to it now. If i buy another welder for the house I'll get a TIG/stick.

I swear it’s not a Meth lab, just painting officers.

Are you getting the house ready to sell?

Looking for new TV's for our media room and the living room.. Not as much fun as I thought it would be. I know, first world problems. I think I'll do it like I have done with past TV purchases. Buy it and then never look at TV prices/features/sizes again until I need to buy a new TV.

TV's are freaking cheap right now. I just bought a Samsung 75" tv for work for like $1k.

Old TV's are 70's. One is a Visio 3D and the other is a Sony 4k/3D. Visio is going out onto the back patio, the Sony is going into the garage. Current garage TV is a 60" LG 4K and its moving to kids room, kids tv is a 50" TCL and its moving to spare bedroom. As for Black Friday, most places already have the BF prices out. I'm not worried.

yeah I need to upgrade as well, I have been watching the prices, on base/AAFES has been same price as Best Buy ads and but on base it’s tax free.

I can't wait until I can ween myself from even owning a TV anymore. Thats the next goal after I stopped using a microwave a couple years ago. With tablets, PC's and phones these days my TV rarely gets used

Can someone un-evolve cause I'd like to lol

lol, that’s why I put off buying a new TV,
I find myself watching less and less TV, haven’t watched any news/tv whatsoever this week, only watched 2 episodes of building off grid and that’s it.

95% of our TV use is leaving it on so there's some background noise for the dogs when we're not home. They get anxious and start destroying stuff if they're left in silence. As long as we leave a TV on, they're fine.
