Loot Haul 9/12/15

A short trip to Roberts Skate Park near 78th and Dodge after getting a semi-flat tire fixed at Discount Tire.

Five whole pennies of no special significance. A useful spoon. An old pepsi cap and a bunch of rusty crap.

This is definitely not the way to get rich quick.

Total haul thus far: 4.74

I found a *come up* at the Thrift store.

The good old CD120!  Only $289.99... 

 I was browsing at a local thrift store this past weekend when I stumbled upon this *thing*. A "Reveal" Internal CD-Rom Drive circa 1992. I held this exact same box (actually, more likely one *just* like it) in my hand more than a few times when I was stationed in Japan between 1989 and 1992.
I owned an Amiga computer, which I bought through the AAFES (Army, Air force Exchange Service on base at Misawa, but I was frequently looking at IBM compatibles. But when a single component was selling for almost half what I paid for my entire computer, well, no thanks!

Of course, by the time the CD120 was out on the shelf my computer was getting long in the tooth.

You can get a fine CD/DVD combo burner for $19.99.

Friday is Pink shirt day.  I went for a lunch walk, 4 laps - 1.8 miles... a bit breezy makes a bad hair day.

Fifty at 50. Pensive Smile, 1/50

I've started a new photography project that I'm calling Fifty at 50.  The goal of this project is to take and post Fifty photos featuring myself (I know, quite boring) at 50 years of age.  That means I have about 11.5 months to complete this missing.

I've never actually followed through on one before so this should be fun.

Here is photo #1.  This is a photo from my birthday.  This is a happy moment for me.  I am looking forward to a fun day at work.

A pensive smile

Product that never needed to be made...

And which, amazingly, didn't sell for shit.  I was more than half tempted to buy a bag just for the What-the-fuck factor.

But my diabetes made me say "Nope."
