Who bought a house!? I got a house! Woo-hoo!
It really closes the final chapter of the flood for me. Living in a townhome was alright...but I’m so relieved and happy to move into a “real” house.

People here when buying a house have a broadband speed map. In Texas do they have a flood plain map?
In stark contrast to tradition I got some tools.
The micrometers are high precision 7 to 8 inch and 9 to 10 inch moore and wright ones. Took a bit of grease to get them and their ratchet stops going again but for £10 for the two I am not complaining. Only problem is I don't have any standards or enough gauge blocks (or any for that matter) to calibrate them and cost of said standards to calibrate against ( http://www.starrett.com/metrology/m...isplayMode=grid&itemsPerPage=24&sortBy=wp/asc )... yeah. Good enough for relative stuff though.

Bought some more bumper buttons. Not in a rush this time, so just bought bulk from China as it was still a similar price to 2 from UK sellers.
Replacement wheel finished. Didn't need a new hub so just had the wheel built with the new rim and old hub.

Welp, went to the storage unit today to drop off some stuff that's been sitting in my basement and decided to grab up one of my loose OG Xbox's. Managed to find a working one, with Agent Under Fire (CIB, which I didn't know I had 
), one of those USB adapters, and 6 controllers...except all of them are without the breakaway cables Didn't want to open up one of my NIB ones, so I decided to order a couple breakaway cables. Gonna hack it and plop it with the rest of my consoles.
Just need a few more and I'll have my personal retro console collection complete Still need to find a cheapo NES, the three Atari's, and the Genesis addons and then I'll basically have all the major consoles throughout the years.

My grandma has dementia and she keeps losing her home phone, I usually buy her one a month, so I bought her a wired one on amazon with a screen on it for caller ID. Also bought some catappa leaves for my shrimp tank and to get free one-day shipping a Reese's peanut butter chocolate bunny.
Did my taxes today and I'm getting just under $800 back, so I might be getting another snake. I may get a blue-eyed leucistic ball python and will be changing my leopard geckos enclosures, I have 4 of them.
Currently I have 4 female leopard geckos, tessara anery corn snake female, a normal Kenyan sandboa(sex unknown), Asian forest scorpion, 2 Dune scorpions(1 about 3" and the other 1/2"), a 2" striped tailed scorpion, a 1/8" Brazilian dwarf pink leg(Kochiana brunnipes), a 1" Trinidad Dwarf Tiger(Cyriocosmus elegans), a 1" Pumpkin Patch small(Hapolopus sp. Columbia small) and a 3" Honduran curly hair (brachypelma albopilosum).
Will most likely be getting rid of the honduran curly hair, mainly because I like the dwarf species of tarantulas more.
Plus she gets to about 5 or 6 inch in diameter and although I like tarantulas, it still kind of creeps me out having a spider that big.
Also for anyone wondering yes all my scorpions and tarantulas are venomous but they are a very low toxicity level. The one with the strongest sting it's only about a 2 out of 5 and that's around a wasp sting, the rest are about a level 1. So about a bee sting. Also I haven't been stung or plan to be. Mainly because I don't stick my hands in the closure near them or play with them.

Picked this up for 40€. It's in perfect condition except for the stylus missing/being the wrong color.
Came with omega Ruby Pre-installed, a charger and a 15€ eshop card.

Along with this, decided to grab a 160GB IDE HDD for like $8. Thought I already had a few laying around, but it turns out the 320GB one I had is dead, and the only other I had was another 10GB one I pulled from one of my other XBOXsWelp, went to the storage unit today to drop off some stuff that's been sitting in my basement and decided to grab up one of my loose OG Xbox's.

Time to sell the eshop card and install CFW [emoji14]
I already installed a CFW (hence the folder homebrew), and I am going to sell the eshop card as I don't want to associate an eshop account to this device.
Also, the device was actually only 35€, but since I didn't have 35€ in fitting bills, I just have the seller 40€ instead. They were selling their stuff way under value, anyway. They had a lot of two 2DSes complete with charger and two 15€ eshop cards plus a psp 2004 without charger for 80€.
But since I wanted only one 2DS (the nice transparent one) and not having to bother with flipping the other hardware, I just asked them to sell me one of the units.
