Oh nice! I like me some good packs.
I’ve got a 20 year old NorthFace Solaris 40 that I couldn’t live without. It’s pretty ugly by now but I wouldn’t travel without it.
Show off your latest purchase!

Steam Summer Sale on at the moment, my main purchase I'm allowing myself from it. Banging out the expansions and maybe I'll remember to learn how to play it sometime.

Osprey is good, but the zippers on my bag are starting to fail and there's fraying nylon where the compression straps buckles are due to the load I put on the thing over the years. Mystery Ranch is an interesting company and they make a lot of military gear, I'm curious as to how it holds up.
Granted, I'm a lot less rough and rowdy on my gear than I was when I first got that Osprey.. its been through hell.
I've never heard of Billinham, but those things are EXPENSIVE from what I see... I do need a better camera bag, but I need to stop spending money at the moment lol
All older bags are built differently. Nowadays, unless you're spending $250-$450 on a bag created in its native country and handmade (outside of China), you're only going to get something that will last less than a decade. The bag I just got isn't necessarily built for hiking, so I may get the Ospey fixed and use that for rucking around and the Mystery Ranch for a bugout, commute and travel bag. Thinking of building an IFAK kit for it because I somehow manage to **** myself up often

The book has arrived.
It’s a beaut. It’s actually better than I imagined. 322 pages of great photos, interesting interviews. However it’s got an excellent intro to what you need to know if you’re going to drive the ring yourself with lots of practical details on what to do and sort out, but even better is the breakdown of that whole course section by section.

My pack also has history. Remember the American guy who was imprisoned in North Korea at New Years in ~2013/14? He was using my pack at the time.All older bags are built differently.

Pic for reference:
I picked up a cheap Regatta pack in 2016 and it’s already lost 2 zippers and a compression strap. It’s just not worth buying a cheap pack.

Squier Telecaster FSR Classic Vibe '60s Custom Esquire®
Always was a sucker for double-bound Telecasters; black ones in particular. So, when on Thursday, out of nowhere, an ad appeared in front of me of this guitar (special run, heavily discounted, 2 units left, next-day free delivery, blah blah blah) I just lost my mind and did what was probably my biggest impulse buy to date.
Need to remind myself to wash my hands and/or clean the guitar before the next shoot, though...

An old classic (Burnout Dominator) alongside some new and (hopefully) fun experiences.
I also ordered and am waiting on some new glasses, so that I can still keep up the appearance of being a somewhat responsible adult.
Edit: And I have very quickly learned that FF VII uses Japan-style menu controls! This should be a treat.

Welp, not really my first adult purchase. But probably my most adult purchase.
Bought the house across the street... From where I currently live. I've been looking at the market for a while now. Opportunity came up. For the price compared to everything else around the area, it was a no-brainer. It is a significantly small home at about 750 square feet. House has been totally remodeled. Nice appliances that stay, along with washer and dryer. 2 bed, 1 bath. Plus, a two car garage for my one car. 😃
In the buying process now, but expect to be closed withing the next couple weeks.
Nervous, scared, and excited.
Snapped a pic from my current home today lol.

Oh yeah? If you were on I-255 it was probably closer to a quarter mile. No exit where I'm at, but I'm the second street from an overpass.Congrats!
I was probably only about 10 miles away from your new (and old) place when we blitzed through there on Friday.
EDIT: And thanks, of course! I'm excited to be on my own for real. Despite being across the street from my dad. Awfully conflicting feeling!

My kid picked a place to eat (Emperor China in St. Peters) that had us coming through about 6:00pm on I-64 and I-70.Oh yeah? If you were on I-255 it was probably closer to a quarter mile. No exit where I'm at, but I'm the second street from an overpass.

After having already driven through Atlanta and Nashville earlier that day, I was more than ready to be done with big cities.

That day was 920 miles in 17 hours.That's a hell of days worth of driving! As the crow flies, certainly close to that 10 mile mark at some point. I hope St. Peters treated you well. Nice area.
All I can tell you about St. Peters is it had a decent Chinese restaurant that was only doing takeout so we ate in their parking lot.

Galaxy A50 I had for two years tumbled out of my hand while walking into work. If the cracks weren't exactly where my eyes like to focus I wouldn't mind.
~$250 after stepdad's Walmart assosciate discount later.
