How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways

Newegg is weird, too.
This morning, at around 8:30 am I placed a small order with them. I was then presented with various shipping options, ranging from next-day delivery for $28 (nearly half the cost of the thing that I ordered), all the way down to "Super Saver" shipping (4-7 days) for free. As I was in no particular hurry, I selected "Free."
Around six hours later, it arrived.
I didn't even know that same-day service was a thing that USPS offered, and I have no idea why various companies keep giving same-day shipping to me for free, when I clearly do not require it.

I promise, last shopvac update.
bought these pre filters to wrap around the blue cartridge filters. Should help extend the cleaning interval for the cartridge filter and make it easier in between.Also bought a 2.5" hose to upgrade the 1.5 hose. It now sucks and blows nearly as strong as hustler.
Only complaint is the medium sized vac is spoda be "quiet." I would say it is slightly less noisy than a regular shop vac, but def not quiet. Maybe they should have called it "quieter plus?"

So figuring out future plans, new place etc... I don't own any furniture, or even a bed to sleep on.
Since my new place will be my bachelor pad... Screw getting a sofa to sit on.
Get a giant bean bag?

Seriously, my pad has multiple bean bags. Unless you're looking for wife material, they're a pretty big hit.

My mother has owned a faux suede couch for a few years now, its riddled with stains and not comfy at all.
Nothing adds richness and beauty to a room like a gorgeous leather. - smithbrothersfurniture.com
Aniline
Also called Pure Aniline or Full Aniline, this is the most natural type of leather. It does not have a protective coating nor any treatments that alter the natural feel of the hide. This gives it the most luxuriously soft feel of all the leather types, but leaves it susceptible to staining or soiling.
Choose this leather if: you love the soft feel of leather and truly appreciate the beauty of each hide's unique natural markings, but expect only light to moderate use of the furniture.
Semi-Aniline
This type is fairly natural. The hides are first aniline-dyed and then coated with a slightly protective topcoat that may or may not contain some additional color. You will see some natural markings through the topcoat and it can still stain or fade somewhat, but it is more protected than a pure aniline leather and the color is more uniform. This is the most common type of leather Smith Brothers sells.
Choose this leather if: you appreciate the softness and texture of leather but also expect to use your furniture regularly.
Pigmented/Protected
This type is the least natural. Smith Brothers' protected leather is still Top Grain leather, and dyed all the way through the hide, but the surface is coated with a heavy protective topcoat that has color added. Pigmented leather is usually buffed (sanded) to remove imperfections in the hide and then embossed with an artificial grain. The color and texture tend to be flatter, without the deep rich color or luxurious feel of an Aniline... but it is also the most durable and cleanable leather type.
Choose this leather if: you anticipate heavy use of your furniture, so you don't mind sacrificing softness and texture for higher durability.
Nubuck
This is a top grain leather that has been buffed (sanded) to soften the surface and give it a "suede-like" appearance. It is extremely soft and very luxurious, and also stronger than suede which is made from split hide. Like other anilines, nubuck leather is very susceptiable to fading and soiling, and will develop an aged patina over time.
Choose this leather if: you want to make a bold fashion statement with a luxurious and truly unique piece, and don't mind some maintenance and care.
