A refurbished M2 MBA 13 with the upgraded SoC, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD in space gray. Waited for the release of the M3s to see what the discounts would be like and other places like Costco didn't have any enticing configs/prices so went refurb instead.

I'm swapping out my M3 Pro MBP 14 with a refurbished M1 Max 14 that MicroCenter has up for $2100. While I'll be taking a hit CPU wise, the extra GPU cores provide a noticeable bump in performance. Plus everything I've read indicates it won't be super loud like the M3 Max in the same form factor. The biggest upgrades, though, will be to unified memory and internal storage as the config I'm picking up is 64 GB and 2 TB, respectively. Apple Silicon Macs are emulation beasts, especially with the latest updates to Sonoma and RPCS3. So I'm going to be digging out my PS3 games and purchasing a DualSense to go with it.

Some garage/shop stuff, but the main thing was getting a proper shop vac instead of using a repurposed home vacuum cleaner.

20 left. We refinance after the first 5 years to get some extra things done. It added 5 years to our mortgage. But NEVER AGAIN! We are in a much different place now.  Get our mortgage paid off ASAP then just relax. I will be 67 when it's paid off.
