anyway, i saw this marked 4.99 at tsc and that is way cheaper than the 10 buck ones from walmart. i price checked it at the counter as the yellow ones next to it were marked 14.99. it came up 14.99 and asked if it was marked wrong at the tag said 4.99. i told him i would pass at 14.99 but he should check the tag. he said if it was marked 4.99 he would honor or it so he changed the price to 4.99 and home it went with me. might be worth a check at your local tsc.
the super nice lid is a bonus!

That tumbler will serve you well. I just bought a tumbler with a handle. I like it, but the base is too big to fit in my cup holders in my Oldsmobile. So now it's relegated to home use for now.

I'm not really that impressed with the thing. The sliding tab that slides open and closed in the lid doesn't seal tight and leaks if it is tipped. The tumbler is quite heavy but has a good gripping surface. I like the Contigo tumblers we have because the drink opening seals tight and you can lay it down and it won't leak but the stainless gripping surface can be slick.

Well there were 5 or 6 tumblers left in the cupboard, (along with a Kuerig and pods) Mama washed everything and I proceeded to test the tumblers one by one. Most look to be advertising freebies. I drink my coffee pretty quick so doesn't have to be mega insulated.
Well the one thing it must not do is dribble on me when drinking, Well this one failed and it is now relegated to holding long zip ties on the bench :))
I got a bunch of zip ties in a tool box and proceeded to sort by size. I already had a container for small and average ties, but none for long. I normally sit them on the bench in a pringles can, soda bottle or some other vertical tube. Couldn't find one and remembered I had just tossed the offending tumbler so now it is rightfully humiliated into wire tie dutyy :))

How is the Fatman's new weekend villa/love nest coming along?
Slow but steady. Mama is working in the kitchen, cleaning every square inch inside and out but is all but done. The lady who lived there was getting old and let things go cleaning wise as far as deep cleaning. I am working in the 1200 sq ft building getting shop set up, pricing tools and sorting through all that was left there. I did get the shop furnace working, though I am feeding it out of a 5 gal pail as I don't trust the outside fuel tank yet. Been sitting unused since 2010 and likely before. I did buy a used tank to put there if needed but that will wait till better weather. No insulation in the building so it gets heat only when I am there.
Haven't spent the night there but am getting close. Mama wants to clean a little more.
Overall we are having fun with this project. We are in no rush as the main point is for the storage buildings for now.

Is this the retirement home? Did you stay in Maryland or head to Penn? Either way sounds like you are getting ready to slow down a bit. Need pics of the shop :)

Mainly bought for buildings and investment.
We do want to be either in or closer to Pa for family

Likely not retirement home though it would suit me just fine with a remodel. Its in Maryland 10 minutes from our house and business. Mama calls it our transition place where I can store stuff as we either sell or close the pressure washer business.If you get a spot near Gettysburg, you could guarantee to see us a bit more often. I love Gettysburg, one of if not the most favorite place for a day or weekend trip for me.

Muddy, that is possible as Littlestown is just 5 mies from Gettysburg which just happens to be the Fatman's birth place. I think there is a plaque somewhere stating that :))
pretty sure there used to be a statue but some of those forward thinkin, history rewriters tore it down.
