A down-payment on a new house with a dedicated shop . . . maybe some 220.
BTW, what American-made tools? Outside of Lie-Nielsen, which is practically in Canada, what's left?

There are some.
Shopsmith (was mentioned already)
RJR Studios (Sand Flee)
Whiteside router bits
Starrett
Incra
Bridge City Tool Works
Woodpeckers stuff
There are surely other smaller ones, no doubt. They are deserving of the American woodworker's business, are they not?
(Oh, and there's no need to make this into a Shopsmith bashing party. That's been done enough on this forum. They are what they are. But the fact that they are still American-made and in a list with the likes of those listed above should say something.)

A Bologna Master sandwich making machine. With the price of steak today, bologna is the only "meat" I can afford.

It all depends if the SWMBO gives me all or just half. Probably some more Lie-Nielsen stuff- scrub plane, mitre plane. Could buy some lumber. Maybe some Starrett stuff. Update my stereo system. I told my wife, who has a hard time deciding what she wants to buy, that I could walk into Woodcraft and easily drop $10,000 and not buy anything over $500, or $250 for that matter. Maybe I'll go and order my sanblasted sign for my shop.

Probably savings ... I don't consider it a rebate, I consider it an advance that I have to pay off anyway.

i think we should not pay taxes at all during the year, then everyone should have to write a big fat check equivalent to what is "withheld" (read extorted/stolen/blackmailed). think we could get some tax reform then?!
our daughter is 3 weeks old today. i think i am going to be buying diapers...

Probably dump it into the "new laptop" bucket. I remember thinking "it's time to start shopping for new computers" about this time last year.
The newest computer in the house is nearly five years old: I'm not a big fan of bleeding-edge technology, but that's over the limit even for me.
Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

It's OK Doug, you just picked the "wrong" side of the river to live on!
We'll sell you General machinery too since you're such a good neighbour!

Most of it will go to the family spring break vacation. Whatever's left will go toward repairs to improve our chances of getting out from under this house when we move this fall.
