Oh the joys of recent purchases.

We had family visiting from out of town over the weekend and we took them to the huge outlet mall.  Sun & Ski had some kind of sale going on in their skate section.  They had Bones Bushings for $2.92 (regular price $10).  I got a set of hard and soft (already had two sets of med at home).  Also he had a Indy skate tool that had a damaged clamshell packaging (and it had lost the screwdriver part, or someone swiped it).  He told me he'd take $5 for it.  It was marked $20.  I feel like I got some good deals.   

Sun and Ski has skateboard stuff? I haven't been in years. Now I'm checking it out this weekend, thank you.

crocketts and slip on lites. $80 for both from the vans outlet.

The Vans Outlet is the place to get Vans. I don't know why anyone would pay full price while a Vans Outlet exists.

my favorite hat is at that sort of disgusting stage of worn so i needed a new one.

also got some used pedals from the guitar store. the big muff is awesome. sounds huge and sustains for days. ive only been using my amps overdrive channel and it wasn't sounding good with the muff, so i grabbed the screamin blues the next day to have a useable overdrive. it does the job, but ill probably try something new in the future. ive got my eyes on a few other things.

kinda both stoked and not stoked on the pedals though. ive been content without them for so long, but now hearing how much better i can sound and how many more options i can have, its like im not satisfied with what ive got until i add the next thing that i think i need. theres plenty of cheap options, but cheap for me just means its easier to impulse buy and spend money i dont need to.

I'm working on a solo record and wanted to have a somewhat nice bass to record with, so I treated myself.

[CrumblingInfrastructure]

Ordered a copy of “Beautiful Losers” (hardcover)

Those are actually pretty sought after derailleurs. Nice.

What are they going on?

Pulled the trigger on a South2 West8 jacket for half off. Super jazzed up

I know this sounds kinda lame, but my daughter asked for some led lights for her bedroom. I instead got her this astronaut projector light nebula and stars thing i saw on amazon. And it is so much better than expected. She thanked me with a bug old hug and said it was way nicer than what she asked for. Plus it was only like 15 bucks. SCORE!

yeah i know. been eyeing vintage campagnolo components on the local craigslist app for quite some time now and this offer was simply too good to pass on. front and rear together for the same price the rear derailleur alone normale gets sold. so that was cool.

What are they going on?

i have a 1986 road bike with a random component mix where basically none is original, so that's why i thought i'm going to upgrade this a little and at least make front and rear derailleurs uniform, but i'm also looking for the fitting shifting levers in the future.

Got pretty lucky this weekend at the outlets and thrift stores.  I spent a total of $100 and got a mini fridge for my homebrews, a small Fender electric guitar amp, new pants and comfy ass Tilley slippers both with tags still on, and a Crokinole board.

[beandemon]

$100 UL backpacking chair. I hate what I’ve become.

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

I bought a bunch of Ralph Lauren gear: El cap jacket in olive, a plaid shirt, a burgundy hoodie and an olive t-shirt.
All heavily discounted.

Also a pair of tan Clarks Wallabee boots in the official store with 65% off!!!

I feel like I can move to New York and blend in without anyone noticing.

I bought a ’98 Volvo, to which after coming from a pretty much a new car I’m equally stoked and terrified.

[CrumblingInfrastructure]

I got a small little Fender Boom v3 bass amp and some ernie bass strings. I havent played in about 15 years but my buddy who is a musician gave me an old bass guitar for free so I’m hoping to get back into it. I think if I stick with it i’ll also but myself a cheap little acoustic bass since i’ve always wanted one.

Gots a big gulp today

Got a really nice dab rig direct from dynamic glass. Exo incycler v2. Smoothest piece I've ever hit.

Recently purchased cheap 3d printer Creality just to try how is it. I want to use it for making some details for my things and to create figurines from my favorite TV shows or video games. I had a very little experience with it before, but it was a long time ago

That's awesome. I was an accountant at envisiontec for a few years. 3d printing is so fucking cool and the amount of practical applications is just growing

[Uh Oh]

Have fun and don’t let anyone stop you! My bandmates forbid me from putting mine on my board.

Classic big muff. Great find. A new pedal or piece of gear can definitely open up so many new doors and possibilities.

Wrestling action figures, some white 501’s & Chelsea boots.

They’ll tell you it’s because I spend too much time dorking around on it; In reality, it’s because they can’t stand the guitar making cooler noises than the dumb ol’ synths.

A Booster Juice just opened up by my place.  They have a promotion on all month where if you buy a $30 gift card you get a free $10 smoothie.  I currently have $90 worth of smoothie gift cards in my wallet.
