    I got an Osprey Atmos 65 pack! It only cost me $90, cause I used a gift card that the place I interned gave me! However the large didn't fit so I will have to return it and get the medium. I love their return policy.

    The snow/ice storm we had back in January was the first one in about 10 years. LOL
    Generally if we get snow its only about a inch. And ice is usually non existant.

    Fenix ld 20 to replace one that stopped working.

    They told me about the discount at the register and applied it on the spot.

    Yeah, my light came in today. This thing is bright. About 1oz heavier than the other headlamps I currently have. Might save a little weight when I change over to lithium batteries. Well, right out the box, I started pushing the single button that controls all the different modes and I figured out the sequences without reading the instrutctions in just a few minutes. So easy, a cave man can do it!

    I went for a bike ride tonight and used it in conjunction with the light on my bike and it makes a difference. I am pleased obviously!

    Got a REI Flash 50 for 80 bucks with the 30% and got a spare compression sack with the 20%. I still have 2 20 percent off coupons from attending some of their classes so I still have some shopping left to do.

    most people don't know it, but rei really stands for "return everything incorporated".

    Got the e-vent Kimtah jacket on clearance at 30% off the already discounted price. Yes! It's a little heavier than the Integral Designs e-vent thru hiker that I trashed in a tumble off a snowfield at Jones Pass on the CDT. Unfortunately, ID sold their clothing line to another company and that jacket is no longer available.

    I got my son a new jacket. Pretty sweet deal too, I think... It was already marked down from $150 to $75 and then with the extra 30% off coupon (it was in the outlet) I got it for $52! However, when it came in I realized it was a bit small and I should have gotten one size larger (that is the fun part about ordering clothing online) so I did spend about another $10 to ship it back for a return...still good price though...

    Also, from what I understand, the code can be used over and over again. Just have to place separate orders.

    I got a new Fisher Space Pen and an insulated fish bag for my kayak. Oddly enough they both shipped from PA but not together. Got the pen yesterday. The box was like 1' squared for a package that's 4" long and 1/4" tall. Go figure. Supposed to have the bag today.
