Having trouble spending money sounds rough! What do you do for a living and are you hiring?
Maybe spend it on a vaca with the wife in the beach!

Pickup shell. I sleep under mine 30+ nights a year. And as others have noted you can lock your gear up. Easy enough to get off to use the truck to haul.

I'm in the same boat and we have been considering buying a 5 year old or so excavator for awhile to have some fun around the yard. We are actively looking and likely putting the bonus there. Do you need something to dig with? They sure are fun.

Digging trenches and building trails. Handy machine.

Only makes sense if the machine makes money. Otherwise, get a sports car. mtmuley

Truck cap. One best purchases any truck owner can make

I got myself a 22 can, a threaded pistol and rifle this summer. One of the funnest purchases in recent memory.

Silencer for the pistol is next on the list

Come over to the land of Oz and hunt Hog deer and Sambar.

You seem like you’d put a pack raft to use. But guns are fun too.

Bonuses came out and they're.... um, good. I'll throw most if it at investments and savings for future real estate, but there is room for a frivolous new purchase.
Options:
Truck Cap: I debate this every year, it would be great most of the time, but I'll still need to take it off for firewood and xmas tree, and occasionally dirt/rock hauling.
Kevlar/Carbon Canoe: I have a fleet of used canoes, but all are plastic or fiberglass. Haven't used them as much as I hoped as the girls prefer paddle boarding, and my son prefers the sit-on-top 'yak. But I still have hope.
Mt Bike: Currently rocking a 2003 Yeti 26-er. Both shocks need to be rebuilt and a tune up. But literally everyone tells me the geometry on new bikes is worth upgrading. I was biking way more in the past, but didn't even touch it this last year as all my time was devoted to running.
Rifle Option 1: Fancy long range shooter. I have a tikka 270 that I hunt with, it checks all the boxes for an all-around rifle. But it's not a 600 yarder. Probably in manbun caliber or something similar.
Rifle Option 2: Smaller caliber gun/pronghorn gun. Like a 25-06 or 257 roberts, maybe 6mm (so I can be cool like buzz). Older, woodstock, but still needs to be a shooter.
Rifle Option 3: Old ass level gun in 30-30. No idea if I would ever shoot it, but damn they're cool.
Rifle Option 4: Have Pham modify either the 270, or a 300 WM (I've been telling myself I'll do this for years), add new barrels, stock, and suppressor.
Pistol (or 2 or 3): I don't have one... seems like a gap.

Random other ideas?

If I can't come up with anything, I'll just add it to savings, but that's not nearly as much fun.

New rifle or mt bike, Merry Christmas ya filthy animal
