Nice watch Sprite 👍. The 1925 is a very nice looking time piece.
And speaking of watches, I just won this on eBay.
It's a Raketa Copernic (c.1980), which has some of the coolest hands I've seen on a watch. After the Ventura I just bought, this was number 2 on my list of watches I wanted to get so I can cross another one off. Number three is a Bulova Spaceview, although I hear they are a PITA to get running if something breaks due to the lack of parts.

^ Oh, I'd love to have the Voigtlander as well - in fact, almost all the SL II collection: the 20, 28 and 40 for their sizes and the 58 1.4 for its bokeh.
The problem, obviously, is the price: I got this one for one third of price of the Voigtlander. But I am very happy about it, I must say.

I took the relatively new purchase (on the left)
and drove it to buy some of this
If any of you have been in the Cars In General section, you will know that I'm whoring my car out as much as possible because I'm so happy to finally have it.

Another one for my lightweight kit: Nikkor Ai 20mm f/3.5
Nice purchase. I guess we should expect some shots coming to a photography thread soon then?

Bought three 3" by 9" brass windshield ice scrapers for my brother, father, and mother birthdays. In total cost me $10.42 with shipping. Cheap but it will have to do for the low amount of cash I have in my bank account. I've used this product during the winter time and is an awesome product to rip ice off with. There has been times where this product on it's own has taken 50% less time compared to my old plastic scraper.
My father bought replacement cordless phones due to the cheap ones that he got in used condition are going bad. Seems like my father made a pretty good choice as the phones look very easy to read.

Actually got it a while ago after my Lumia up and died entirely. Or...well, it started to refuse to start on occasion and would sometimes have some screen errors toward the bottom. It was entirely my fault after some drops, but since I have to replace it on my own dime I figured I'd go back to Android.
Ended up getting it with a semi-work around where I added a new basic line, got the new phone, a small "dumbphone", for $50 with an extra $25 a month on my bill.
Which...I was planning on buying a dumb phone to keep in my car for emergencies, so that all worked out well.
Absolutely love this thing. One of the best displays I've seen on a phone, the camera is excellent, but suffers from the usual phone camera problems like heavy artificial lighting. And I missed most everything about Android OS, even if I did really like the look and feel of WP8.
And the design is gorgeous.

My grandfather has 3 sets of those (he has a phone in every room in his house) and he loves them.

Yeah, Voigtlander stuff is quite expensive (although they're considered budget in Leica land
), not Zeiss expensive though. They do make some rather unique lenses, the 20mm lives on my F3. I don't think it's any better than the Nikon version optically though, I just like how small it is! I always got the impression that street would be easier in the US, I've always wanted to spend a week or two in New York just taking photos of life there. Or maybe doing a road trip and making an extended project out of it like what Robert Frank did with The Americans.

Yes, the sad thing is that it isn't illegal. I ask people politely and they still look at me oddly. I had one situation where there were a couple girls and I was doing a photography project. I asked if I could use a picture of them for my class and they all got really shy. I guess it's the fact that photography is usually linked with paparazzi or stalkers..
It's sad to see that but it's kind of true.

Take many pics. I'm curious if COTA finished the entrance pathway which was all dirt when I was there in November.

I have an 88 Pontiac Fiero Formula and needs a bit of repair. This is what I bought so far for it:
Rear trailing arm bushing kit:
Shifter boot, swaybar end links, and on the side some batteries for my camera:
Some 3M Bubinga woodgrain vinyl to wrap these interior pieces:
Sandblasted a replacement engine cradle to replace the awfully rusted one that is on the car right now:
I also bought 40% window tint and some bed liner to coat the engine cradle.
