I have a few 99's. 3 Svea 123r's, 111B, and a shit ton of others, haha. Not really. I think I have between 35 and 40 stoves. I have a Coleman 425, I gave $10 for. Never used.
 
Not sure if you'll call what I do with it "music", so it's over here in the snark thread. I finished another Fuzz Pedal this week:

Just got this one in the mail. Precise Phoenix Backpacker. A few scuffs and paint chips, but appears to be unused. Complete with box and instructions.

Wow, super nice to find it in new condition!
Funny the put a Wenger blade on the package, today that's unthinkable.
 
I sure do miss tent camping. Hard for me to get down on the ground anymore, even harder to get back up.
 
I got some new 10.5" Yellowstone brand Cast Iron Frying Pans at Walmart. About 25 bucks each. Got four of them. Two for the "Evil" step mother, two for my old farm stead house. Sis will probably snag one. I can cook right off the old wood stove along with the dutch oven.
 
spent 5 hours wrenching on the tractor friday - had to tear the front apart to replace the battery, got is running, found out one of the tires is flat and rotten.
aired it up well enough to get it into the pole shed and up on jack stands.
now I need to find a place with the right sized skid steer tire that won't charge me an arm and a leg for it.
 
Hectic day today up at 7:00( that's usually when I go to bed) to had power window fixed on the Terrain. In to the medical center to do some paperwork. Back at 6: pm for a MRI . On the way home I stopped at Dunkin for a bottle of Pepsi. When I pull around to pay . They handed me my Pepsi, change, receipt and a dozen donuts . They said they were about to close so have some Free donuts
 
Up until this year, I have been using the same model of Wolverine boot for 25 years, a 6" high boot they called the 'Trappeur". Well, they have been getting hard to come by, and it would seem, discontinued of late.
So, after contemplating Redwings brand forever, I went boot shopping last night. I spent the time I needed to find what I wanted, though not on the shelf at present, I asked them to order my size. A lot of their boots are American made, that's a plus! I don't know what model I settled on by name, but it has the widest toe box in their line up, so I'm told. I have been trying Lems brand shoes this year, but they are not up to working standards, comfortable though!
The main thing I never liked about the Wolverines was the squeeze they put on the sides of my toes. The Lems are totally different, no heel, wide toe box, I love them for around the house!

I love Lems too! For casual shoes they are hard to beat.
 
Currently wearing my ancient boulder boots
Had to stop wearing wolverines, they changed the shape and sole so now they just make my feet ache for a couple days after 4 hours of wear time.

The Merrell Moab adventure 3 slip on is really comfortable, too.
 
I used to wear Wolverines, but only got about 9 months out of them. Switched to Skecher Pilots, about $40 cheaper, and got well over a year out of them. They recently discontinued the Pilots, so now I have to find something else. Not all makes carry extra wides.
 
We had enough hit the ground Friday afternoon for me to smell it. I got out from under a coach to have a look see, and it stopped.
Wearing my boulder boots right now. :)
