Lastly, treated myself with a new game;

I've seen gameplay of the game but never this "box"art if you'll look really quick at it you could somehow mistake it for a banksy for a moment.

Briefly mentioned this in the Infield section. Went ahead and purchased my part of our group's trip to Tokyo next year. May not be buying anything for a while now.

Nice. 👍

We're spending 2 weeks in Feb., but I think there's plans to spend a night in Osaka & then a night somewhere up north.

It has been a while since I bought a figure I didn’t need but I ended up copping a new Diana Cavendish Nendoroid (Little Witch Academia).

Digital radio tuner to connect to an old fashioned amplifier. So many radio stations without commercial breaks.

I can FINALLY stop looking for a new bike for my son.

And just to round out that awesomeness, I just picked up this abomination as I keep, for completely unknown reasons, referencing it and the kids haven't seen it.

That looks like a superb tool. I could have used something like that for commuting in London, would have been perfect.

Very nice.

It’s amusing to me that cars I grew up with are now becoming popular retro “classics”.

Finished painting this last week.
Cost me £62 to do including the lid.

That looks brill, but I’m wondering why such a high cost. Was the money spent on paints? I don’t think I’ve ever paid over £40 for a lid.

Nice, another Volvo. More info? How's the RV thing?

Nice, another Volvo. More info? How's the RV thing?

Auto, 184,000 miles, SoCal car until it was shipped to the Midwest in 2016. It hasn’t been winter driven and is virtually rust free. There are maybe 10 minor dings and scratches throughout on the paint and the interior is in just as good of shape with the exception to one crack on the dash. Front seats have been redone with Volvo foam and covers, and possibly the rear too. It has been very well maintained and most wear items replaced within the last 10 years. It has a working air conditioner and heated seats. It is a pleasure to drive, very smooth and quiet driving down the highway. The interior does need a good cleaning and I hope to get some more detailed pictures when I’m done.

Regarding the RV I’m a bit embarrassed to say it’s still a work in progress. I have rebuilt the driver’s side wall and pretty much all organic materials in the living quarters have been replaced but still lot to do. The interior picture is not up to date. I’ve decided to ditch the pop top setup and go with a fixed roof framed up with square aluminum tubing gusseted together with rivets and some kind of adhesive. I’m still trying to nail down the final design that looks good and isn’t too difficult to build. Hopefully something like the photoshop below.

I bought an overpriced doohickey!!! Free internet cookie if you can guess what it is.

It's a flaring tool for copper, this style is 1000X better than the traditional bar style.

I thought it was a metal pipe bender.

Nice car BTW!

Coffee sustainability is a huge issue and impacts all parts of production. Thankfully some skilful and clever people in Berlin have come up with a neat solution to all the wasted Grinds by repurposing them into cups.

These people are Kaffee Form. Check these very beautiful cups. Plus they make reusable cups for takeaway coffee too.

A 3D printer company in Fargo manufactures filament that is partially made with coffee byproduct.

They also have one made from beer and, name-wise my favorite, a garbage based one called Landfillament.

It's definitely happening now.

Apparently these guys also make filament for 3D printing out of grounds. They can even take back used broken cups and recycle back into new cups or other stuff.

Got this last week! Been wanting to transfer my mom's records to my library for a while now and I saw this at Audi's and got it for only about $50, not only so I could do that, but because our old record player no longer works.

It's pretty neat! Plays records pretty well and the speakers sound great and it's not too heavy either. However, I am pretty disappointed with the recording function. While I suppose it's nice that it has it, the recordings are only 128 Kbps and they don't sound as good as they could be. From what I gather though, it seems like the ones with built-in recording systems don't have the best audio quality and it's possible I may have been expecting too much out of this. (which I wasn't previously aware of)

However, it does have some ports in the back to connect it to some external speakers. I think I may buy something that will allow me to play the audio through my computer and maybe then I can get the quality I so desire of this thing.
