So, for the first time in nearly 2 years, I finally got to go back to that local store near me again, the same place I got Lego Island 1 earlier, and boy was it a trip. They had a bunch of CD's there for cheap, but they were having everything half off today, and when I found out about this, I went on a MASSIVE feeding frenzy! :trouble: Any country artist I had even a vague interest in, I bought because at that price, why the heck not?!

And this is what I came back with:

Truth be told, I've never heard of Drivin' Sideways a day in my life, but it was country, and it was NASCAR themed, and that alone was good enough for me. Unfortunately, I didn't notice this until after I bought it, but that Shooter Jennings album had no disc in it. :( Which is too bad because I was curious to see what was on it, and they don't do returns there, but oh well, it's not like I paid much for it. 🤷 Truth be told, as far as country albums go, I grabbed nearly everything I wanted there, and I didn't leave much behind at all. I think I can only recall leaving 3 or so there, but in hindsight, I honestly wish I had grabbed them anyway.

While those 2 things are rather unfortunate, I am happy with what I got, and I genuinely did not expect to find anywhere as much as I did. Some of these, namely the Rhett Akins CD, are ones I planned on buying eventually, but I am glad I waited! I think this might be one of, if not the biggest, haul I have ever had in regards to music, and I hope to do it again someday! :cool:

I decided to get the Soundbrenner earphones I saw advertised as they were around $100. They're marketed as gaming earphones, but I wanted to just use them for listening to music or watching videos on my electronics and they work great honestly. They sound better than the wired JBL earbuds I usually use.

Well, I wanted to start collecting these Ebbro scale models again and this one of the cars I bought. It just came in the mail last night.
I want to eventually take another picture of it with my Castrol Mugen NSX and Castrol Tom's Supra.

More stuff. I updated my mouse from a G604 to a G502 X PLUS and got some thumbstick extenders for my Razer controller.

I also ordered a 4Tb SSD for my XSX's so I can move my games off the internall SSDs. I've got 2x XSX each with 2Tb cards and they're both full :lol: (they both already have 4Tb HDDs for non XSX games). I know I can't play them from it but it will reduce transfer times.
I also got some wall mounts for my 3x controllers.

And 12 bottles of Henry Weston's Vintage Cider :cheers:

I had that same mouse for almost 2yrs now and it’s tuff
 
The other Ebbro car I was waiting in the mail for, a Pennzoil Nismo GT-R. Another R34 JGTC Skyline from my list checked off, also the 2nd one I have in this "P-4" series. The first was the Calsonic R34 GT-R.

A picture of it with my Calsonic R34 GT-R from the same series if you were wondering.

Also at the walmart, I got a couple of Auto World cars, which is a diecast brand I haven't bought from in years. I couldn't resist these though, a Mitsubishi Starion and 1G Eclipse.

Lastly a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport from Majorette.

I just received my latest print from Mike Maihack on Patreon. It’s Kara Starr/Supergirl and Barbara Gordon/Batgirl hanging out on a rainy day off. There’s a glossy finish in the curtains and the rain outside. That’s the bonus of being in his mini print club. You get prints with special finishes you can’t get anywhere else. I had this black frame on hand just for this occasion.

Okay, I got paid last week and decided to buy a couple more Ebbro 1/43 scale models. This is the first one I got and the other hasn't been mailed yet. It's my 4th 2000 JGTC Supra and I think I just need one more before I have all of them.

Here's a picture of it with my other 2000 JGTC Supras.

Bats in space?

Bats in space.

I am not knowledgeable about Gundam at all, the Bats were just genuinely the first thing that caught my attention.

So long story short, this Gundam and its pilot have a whole grim reaper motif and its bat wings allow it to turn invisible through cloaking. It can also glide because, well, wings. The bats on the boxart are unfortunately just there for enhancement...there are no bats fluttering every which way every time this thing slashes another machine's head off. :lol:

Seeing how many of them there are now, I actually wish that were the case.
