What did you buy this week?
Got a excellent deal on this today. I had to beat down a couple different dealers but with the last day of the month, I think I got a deal 
LOL! No, the only hot babe in this neighborhood has been married to me for 30 years coming up this November. 
I've always been somewhat intrigued with the solar system, and my wife has always enjoyed stargazing. Then I watched the documentary commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing a few weeks back, which was super cool. My son has also commented on numerous occasions growing up that it would be neat to have a high-powered telescope.
So he gets off work Wednesday around midnight, and if it's not cloudy - he's gonna swing by the house on his way home and we're gonna set it up and give it a test run. This particular model is several years old, but still gets great reviews from other more serious celestial enthusiasts. It'll only take me about 10 minutes to get it set up and calibrated.
Really looking forward to learning more about our solar system... just a different hobby to get into, I guess.
And it's cheaper than a bass boat.
I bought a Shingrix shingles vaccine shot. 
FauxAmish Good move. I got the shingles last July, and you do not want them.
I got the old vaccine when I turned 62. The new vaccine is much more effective. You have to get two vaccinations 6 mos. apart. I just got the second. I got the first vaccine after seeing a friend get shingles in his eyes. Anyone who had chicken pox as a kid has that dormant virus that can come to life any time.

Rickochet I bought a Shingrix shingles vaccine shot.
Just had that same shot yesterday ( the 2nd dose),don't know about you
but I had a pretty bad reaction to the shot.
My right arm (where the needle went),feels like it'd been hit with a sledge hammer plus my
whole body feels like crap.
After reading up on this "new" vaccine,flu like symptoms and pain in the injection site are pretty
common for 2-3 days.....I guess it's a LOT better than getting shingles though.
Sure glad our insurance covered the cost,otherwise $280 is a bit steep to feel like crap!
darpar My right arm (where the needle went),feels like it'd been hit with a sledge hammer plus my

My arm is a little sore but not too bad. After the first shot I felt puny for 2 or 3 days. Not bad but just not normal. I read there were 7 possible side effects and I had 5. This must be pretty common since the pharmacist asked how I handled the first shot. Not a big deal and beats the crap out of getting shingles.
Forgot to post here last week when I ordered them, but I bought 2 Indi Golf wedges and a Tour Edge putter. Gonna play them in the morning, weather permitting.
That's a LOT of grooves! Looks like my Cally Sure Out.

had it out at the range over the weekend -- was hitting it straight, which is a miracle for me. I'll hope to get it out on the course soon

And in honor of Spuzz:
Tried this -- shaft was an A flex -- too soft for me, but seemed pretty long when I squared it up. It's really loud

FauxAmish So $280.00 for the shots seems rather trivial.
I don't recall what the first shot cost in Jan. but the second one was a $30 copay and the receipt said it saved me $145 from Medicare/Humana. I also got a Hep-A first dose in Jan and I think it was about $75 copay and I get the second dose soon.
Sparky YES-- TC is very good. I really like the TS-2. TS-1 are very good-- but the TS-2 are deadly accurate and really good looking in 9-PW-- more than I had expected. I think it may be mostly mental-- but the TS-2 are confidence inspiring to the point I am not interested in playing any of my other two sets.. That is a first!
Initial thoughts on the TC-#3 wood. HIGH launching. Solid as heck in feel. Great profile at address. Will see if distance can be good enough to replace my RBZ II Tour... a tall order..
