Called my local Trek store, found a decent pair of Foray MTB cycling shoes. So I scooped them up, really not super high dollar, but for my needs I think they will be fine. Big hands, big feet, must be a clown. 
what can I say? I have a narrow foot and they fit perfect. My new Italian designed, Chinese made loafers.

Picked up a pair of black Specialized Audax Wide shoes in preparation for a 300k ride next weekend.
I originally wanted to get a pair of Torch 2.0 Wide shoes but the authorized Specialized dealer that I visited did not have the wide version in stock, but I noticed the Audax shoes on the shelf and gave them a try. They were more expensive than the Torch 2.0 but felt like a good fit, giving my toes plenty of room for comfort while still feeling secure around the ankles.

I've seen a few reviews on them, but very few real world reviews.. so curious if it lives up to the hype. You should post a review for all of us lol

2 gallon garden sprayer from Home Depot to hose off the bike -
And an inexpensive, but supposedly individually ISO-tested (they include a certificate with test results), torque wrench from Amazon -

New tires for my commuter/foul weather bike

I purchased 21mm pedal extenders for my road bike. I normally wear regular shoes with half clips while riding, but I've had problems with my heel rubbing the chainstay. So far I'm not sure if it's helping or hurting more, I think I'm still having knee tracking and pain issues but atleast my heel isn't rubbing anymore.

This wasn't a purchase, it was a trade. I had a frameset, same brand, different year, both titanium frame. I got one in my size and traded away one too small for me.

Nice score. I had too many family things scheduled and couldn't make the Garage Sale.

Yep.. 2 of them now for less than full price of a non shield one. I only use the shield for Tri's but it is a nice option

Ran down to Hutch's Bicycle Store here in Springfield and picked up my new Wheels (Wheelmaster), Tubes and Tires that was ordered in.
