Latest Acquisitions

Not exactly a new acquisition but I was doing some cleaning & rearranging of furniture and rediscovered some old space memorabilia of my late father’s in the back of a closet.  Main items were a button...

.. and 2 belt buckles.  This was the 70s so think wide belts and polyester.  (Be glad you missed it.)  Still cool from a historic/memorabilia standpoint but I don’t think I’ll actually be wearing them any time soon. :D 

Anyway, there was one for Mariner, the precursor/pathfinder for the later Voyager spacecraft..

.. and the other buckle was for Viking, the first American vehicle to successfully land on Mars.  I remember ditching middle school the days they landed (there were 2 of them) so I could watch the first pictures of the surface of Mars come down .. one thin strip at a time.

Original volumes of Claymore which I'm moving onto watching today! Also got myself Noein and Last Exile for about 15 each :D

We got a brand spankin’ bed with a bed frame and two new pillows. The mattress is memory foam, and the pillows are filled with shredded memory foam. It’s like sleeping in heaven

I have acquired a kitten. She's super sweet and she runs on a V8 or higher for sure. Feels like forever since I've had a cat who isn't a dickhead.

What a precious, adorable little cutie! You got a name for her? :3

Since it’s a “her”, safe to assume it’s not Kyo 😂

Yems her name is Muffin.

There a story behind that selection?

Anti-acquisition.  Clearing out an old bookshelf.  Does anyone actually still use these things?  :D

She sounded pretty sure of herself so we reckoned her name was in fact Muffin.

Yeah, kids come up with interesting pet names.  I had a dog named “Velcro” once.  :)

During my most recent trip to Lake George, I found a board game called "CTRL" on clearance at Target that I wanted to cover on my YouTube channel. Looking forward to the first play with the family.

Two things.. first is an item I found at the company store.  They haven't had much stock and have been keeping reduced hours since the covid thing started but I managed to find them open and this t-shirt on the rack Thursday..

The other item is a new "Pangolin" from System76.  I've been needing a new laptop to replace my 2013-vintage MB Air and they just recently got some more stock in so I bought myself a birthday present.  🎂 💻  Yes, I'm going to do something about that desktop wallpaper.  :)  It just came Thursday & I haven't yet got a round tuit.  (Not that I dislike Pop!_OS so far but we can do better.)

Finally got a bigger shadowbox for my pins.    Things were getting quite a bit crowded in the old one.  (That would be the little one above the big one in the pic.)

Now I just need to find space for the new one.  The old one fit on my bookshelf like a large picture frame.  The new one is going to need a few sq ft of wall somewhere.  On the plus side I now have a tiny bit more room for actual books.  :)

Forgot to post this the other day too.  Not exactly a new acquisition though.  More a rediscovered item.. an old navy jacket from my grandfather’s CB days.

Since we are going to be in winter season for another good couple months, I got a new Carhartt hoodie, plain black, and 4 pairs of sweatpants. A very good investment. With a pair of black Timberland boots which I acquired around Dec 9th
