Your latest purchases, cont.

My favorite son and I went shopping today and we each bought a rolling cart to fill with hobby detritus, and I bought lunch for us and I also (naturally) bought books and a couple of magazines.

 

Dinner at a restaurant right next to Oracle Park

 

A week's worth of groceries.

 

A week's worth of groceries for me too!

 

Gin and tonic at Oracle Park

 

Salad supplies and paper products at the grocery store.

 

Thanks to a very generous and patient man on Facebook Marketplace, I was able to secure a replacement office chair today. It was beyond time, too - the old one was broken in multiple ways and having to always sit 100% upright was killing my back. I now have a much softer seat, and I can finally stretch again without hurting myself or risk falling into the floor. Here's a picture - it was a nightmare to assemble, but now its over and I'm grateful to have it.

 

Reloaded my Ventra card for my upcoming Chicago trip.

(God, how I love it when I can reload my cards online and don't have to fuck around with those bloody-be-damned vending machines.)

 

I bought a 4K Blu-Ray player on Friday, but I'm taking it back tomorrow since it turned out the specs don't fully match my TV's capabilities. Hopefully, I can find a better one without shelling out a ton more money.

 

Whiskey, tacos, and gasoline.



(Don't mix them.)

 

Isn't that a Hank Williams Jr. album?

 

$128 bucks for oil change and yearly inspection.

 

I finally jumped on the 4K bandwagon, but since the player alone was almost $200 and my budget is fairly strict, I couldn't go crazy with my choices right away. So, I spent just over $60 in total on these, which I think is pretty respectable.

 

That looks neat, almost like a chair on a starship

 

I went to a talk by an archaeologist at our local museum. It was about the recent work locating and excavating sites where they think the "lost colony of Roanoke" ended up relocating to. I bought the book but didn't have him sign it. Also bought a few things from the museum gift shop for my granddaughters.

 

A case of cat food.

 

Something silly....... I don't normally do ebay or auction type things but on a whim and I was in a funny mood that day I bid on a Sony Betacam BVW 70 vcr and thought nothing of it till I get an email saying I won the bid. Now waiting for the delivery and why is this thing 32kg?

Anyone here work in TV or video why are those machines so heavy?

 

A package of washcloths through Amazon...

 

Dinosaur crumpets as I have a small person coming to visit tomorrow. I was completely unaware that such things existed until I saw them in the "last chance to buy" section.

Hm..."last chance to buy"... Are dinosaur crumpets becoming extinct?
