I bought a new safety harness vest. You know, one of those climbing system vest. I already had one that worked just fine. I just wanted the one they call "The Professional" series that's made of mesh material. Just trying to lighten the load and make it cooler in warm weather. SO it's not exactly a gimmick, but I already own one so it's a "Why in the heck did you buy that" thing-a-ma-jig. The answer of course, "I just had to have it. I needed it. The old one may break because it's old".[&:][8D] I also bought a new camo outfit Friday. Did I need it ...NO! Will it help me shoot a deer...> NO! I just had to buy the "NEW" pattern from Skyline. DUHHHHHHhh.
