Material Goods:

Shimano Saragosa 6000 Fishing Reel - Last summer I purchased a Saragosa 6000 class as my go to saltwater reel. It is a marvel of Japanese design and engineering without breaking the bank like a Van Staal. It is just a consistent workhorse and the drag technology makes it a joy to fish with. Needless to say, I fish enough where a reel makes my list of favorite purchases.

Prusa MK3S+ 3d printer - Excellent quality, it just works and was really fun to build the kit. I love being able to quickly think of and design anything I want in CAD (Onshape) and be able to print it the first try. I don't have to tinker around with the printer I can focus on building stuff.

I bought a Prusa MK3s during lockdown (don't think I'll do the upgrade to the +, doesn't seem much changed), it is amazing. I've never owned a 3D printer before, and it was painless to put together, took about 1 hour to tune and fix one assembly glitch. It's sitting right next to me printing right now.

The other thing I bought myself was an M1 mac. I just got frustrated with cleaning my butterfly keyboard again, and just said, "fuck it, I'm buying one". It is an amazing machine. Battery for days, nice, light. It's probably my favorite computer ever (well, after my first – an Apple //e).
