This Old Tony

I know… I know… I’m sure 90% of you fellas have been watching “This Old Tony” for years now. But, I haven’t. In fact, I just stumbled upon this home machine shop genius this past week and have been busy binge watching ever since. And all of this enthusiasm made me think, “Man, I ought to post this on TGJ just for the fellas that were hiding with me under that rock.” So, here I am… If you don’t know who Tony is, just start watching.

Random Cyber Week Deals

Admittedly, I’m not much of a coupon shopper. I just buy what I need when I need it… and look for the best deal whenever and whatever that may be. But I’m looking for a good deal on either a Victron or Xantrex inverter/charger and while I haven’t found one yet, I did find a few good sales I thought I would list.
