LINK --> Amazon.com



For holiday presents, groceries, office supplies, whatever. Just click that before you buy. It REALLY helps MVS.

(It also appears at the top of most pages... all topic pages)

Some dude things I love that I've gotten from Amazon (MVS links are already embedded, just click the photos):


Image
Philips Norelco Multigroom All-In-One Series 3000, 13 Attachment Trimmer

I've had this for a year and a half, and it's small, quality trimmer. It holds a charge longer than a month (non-daily use). For $19.99 it's a no-brainer.

Image
Chemical Guys Professional Grade Premium Microfiber Towel, 6-pack

Like the trimmer, I've had these 1.5 years, and they're still great. I wash them and they're ready to go.


Image
Natural Shoe Deodorizer Spray, Foot Odor Eliminator and Air Freshener

I tried sprays, powders and black magic chanting. Nothing killed shoe odor in my sneakers and boots. Nothing. Then I tried this... and it works. Plus, I've used maybe 1/3 in the 2 years I've had it. It's uncanny. Works on car odors also. I spray it on the carpet.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07PHPX2X9/ ... 10f68d1461

I don't yet know how to do a general link, only specific... to a product. So please use that if you're in the UK. (I know an Alexa product is probably not what you're looking for. From there, just search/find what you need.)

Amazon.co.uk says the first three purchases are for validation only, and the fourth will count. So it'll be a few days or weeks until I know if it's working.

Thanks for asking, Cookeh! (Happy 1 year MVS membership anniversary!)

Sorel - Men's Madson Chukka Waterproof Boots

I just today re-ordered these durable Sorel brand boots. My last pair I got in October 2016, and I wore them every day until last week. Incredibly durable, good for snow/rain, good looking enough for anything casual. I'm a same shoe every day guy, and these are it. I love them.

Plus, now they're blowing them out for $125 because it's "end of season". In 2016 I paid $180.

Homax 5860 2-Piece Caulking Tools, Smoother and Remover

Really nice caulk stripping tool in this set. The caulk putter-downer I can do as well as with my finger. The stripper's where it's at. Not for heavy duty uneven/grout stripping.



Image
Car Tire Inflator, Air Compressor Pump, 12V DC Portable Automotive Air Pump up to 120 PSI, Digital LCD Display and Emergency Led Lighting for Car

I'm a huge fan of these inexpensive tire inflators. This one is digital, and mine accurate to +/- 1 PSI. I keep it in my car. Plus, you can set it to the PSI you want and it stops when it's met (!).

Anyone read "The Stone Man"?

https://www.amazon.com/Stone-Man-Scienc ... B00AHJIJF2

I liked it. Good read. Good ending. The POV(s) from the storyteller(s) were well done.
