YIHUA 853D 2A USB SMD Hot Air Rework Soldering Iron Station, DC Power Supply 0-15V 0-2A with 5V USB Charging Port and 35 Volt DC Voltage Test Meter
For the electronics buff in your life. I need a new rework station (old one got knocked off the table and is broken) and this is one I’ve been looking at.

I was in Target last night. It's been many years since my last visit. The store has changed a LOT and for the better. I always liked Target for toys and camping gear. They had stuff no one else carried. They had 7-11ish groceries back them. Now, they have a Walmart like grocery store (except with stuff I want to eat) and the rest is much smaller, BUT they still have mostly the same stuff -- just less of it.
I was in there for this: https://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-laugh-38-learn-mix-38-learn-dj-table/-/A-87822486?ref=OpsEmail_Order_609&j=191057&sfmc_sub=175001633&l=20_HTML&u=137790583&mid=7284873&jb=10682207
It was $31. Amazon was $45 (now $31) plus shipping and Walmart was $45 (also now $31) with pickup. Macys was $45 at the time of purchase. It's $31 now as well, but too far away for local pickup.
I did not like their social mess, but saw no evidence of transgressions last night. I think I will shop there more often going forward. Maybe get a Red Card
Red Card (even just the debit one) is nice. Get the discount still. Not a huge amount but almost covers tax.

We usually wrap in sessions. We will get a bunch of stuff and wrap, get more stuff and wrap. It’s hours of wrapping usually though. This year won’t be as much though since we decided to get vacations for our daughter rather than just stuff which she is now harder to buy for (will be in her teens by Christmas).

I believe I got it from LTD Commodities. I just checked, and they don't have that one now but I did recently see it on Temu.
Thank you

We have already put up 80% of the inside decorations, lol. We decorate for Halloween so we decided to just take those down and put up all the Christmas decor. The only thing we are waiting on is our main Christmas tree because our daughter is away at college and she wants to help put it up like we have done in years past. What is funny though - in years past I have asked the kids to decorate it and they complained the whole time, lol. Now that she is away from home for the first time she realizes that she really did like doing it - or maybe she appreciates the tradition.
We have at least 8 totes that hold our inside decorations as well as wall art that we put up. We moved to the East Coast 4.5 years ago and when we did I got a tree to decorate in the nautical style. I put that up along with our main large tree. I have an obsession with nutcrackers and have at least 25 of those. We have an Angel that my husband and I bought at Big Lots our first Christmas we moved in together - 28 years ago. She doesn't light up anymore and is barely holding on by a pipe cleaner (what her arm is made with lol) but she is still hanging out even though most of our other decor tastes have evolved throughout the years. The weather has been warm so yesterday I wrapped our outside tree in lights. I haven't gotten around to the porch but it is supposed to be almost 80 tomorrow and I will be working from home so I might put up some stuff tomorrow on the porch. We don't hang lights on the house anymore - nobody wants to get on a ladder. I will put up our inflatables in the yard though.
Christmas is my jam!
Very nice, we have some ornaments that we've had for quite a while that are always and always will be special. We have to find a small tree to put on the landing going up to our upper level this year. We have one in the basement that will get put up soon and then we will likely also have one over between our big wall by the fireplace and then we are going to do a cut your own that will be on the other side of the living room. Our last house our bedrooms where larger than this so my daughter had a tree in her room and we had a small one in our room. Ya we overdo it also lol

I also decorated my living room and dining room windows, for basically the same reason :). I will wait until Thanksgiving weekend to do the rest though. Sorry if these pics are too big.
My wife would LOVE that shower curtain, may I ask where you got it? She is a huge fan of the old style red farm truck. That and Gnomes

Usually I have them up BEFORE Halloween, I just don't turn them on until the last piece of candy is handed out on Halloween night. I love it when neighbors drive by in October and see me on the roof and scream "Already!" or "Too Soon!"
We're only about 25% done with the inside of the house. Tree will go up this week.
A person in the sub division near us by where my sister lives has built in LED Smart lights built into all their roof overhangs all around the house. They change the color scheme and such for different seasons. You don't really see them most of the time and they never have to be taken down so it's pretty cool. My wife keeps saying we should do that when we build our next house.

I have a couple neighbors who have to start well before because they go ALL OUT. I would be one of those but I need more land for what I want to do, I want to build a walk through Santa's Village. I'm huge into Christmas and so is my wife. We actually used to keep one of our trees up all year round and just change the decorations. Some of our family used to laugh about it but the year our daughter was born they went in and redecorated it for my wife baby shower. Right now my wife just went out and put up her inflatable turkey in place of the Halloween inflatables.

Might pick up a few things from here.

Has anyone started decorating for Christmas yet? We haven’t (starts on Black Friday for us) but I’ve been noticing that more and more people around us have started putting up their lights and decorations outside already. In part I wonder if it’s because the weather has still
been nice around here.
How does everyone decorate? We usually have multiple trees and lots of decorations inside and outside we have multiple inflatables, a decent amount of lights and various other decorations such as bows on all the house lights (we have smart led bulbs in the lights so they get turned red and green also) and my wife dresses some of our bushes with giant Santa hats and such).
-
Surprised they don’t have a bigger discount. They are working on the switch replacement (ya it probably started when this one came out) but they have already chosen the cpu/gpu platform from what I’ve been seeing.

Then he can say Black Friday helped make him a star

Oh gosh yes. I'm already prepping the announcement for the NYE party at church!
We do a Christmas party every year. NYE is our Anniversary so we usually do lunch together and then have some people over and have like Smoked Prime Rib. Can't believe I need to be thinking about all this already.

Do we think BB (or others) will match that Apple Watch 9 price? (I'm looking at the smaller face that WM shows will be $349 on 11/8.)
I'm sure at least a few people will have deals on them. I usually end up going Target and get the gift cards they give with theirs lol

Can't believe that it's already November. Before I know it the year will be over again.

I think the one I will always remember was our Plasma we got in 06. We waited in line, got in the store and tried to get it and someone had got the last in store one. Was super nice to the person helping me so he said tell ya what you can it delivered and setup on Saturday and they even waived the delivery charge.

I mean I see few deals here and there that look OK but nothing jumps out at me as being a really good deal.
