I needed a replacement laptop after my piece of shit Razer Blade that had plagued me for the last 5 years.

Got a Lenovo Thinkpad X1. Hoping it serves me better

Retrotink 5X with stand for my old Nintendo systems.

Cleaning materials and UV lights to decolor my yellowed SNES shell, hope it goes well like in this video 😬 (Not gonna touch the circuitry)




And an Ultra HDMI mod kit for my Nintendo 64 to get the best picture out of that.

More data for my phone because my broadband has shit the bed completely since Friday night. Someone will be out on Tuesday to have a look at it. Until then I need to use my phone as a hotspot :messenger_unamused: the ISP of my broadband has a fucking cheek to rise their prices by £21/month. Can't even use it.

Just had my "The Thing" autograph spectacular framed yesterday :pie_grinning:

It took me about 6 years to hunt this one as it's common to find both John Carpenter & Kurt Russell.
I wanted to get most of the supporting cast as possible.

Of course there's John Carpenter (Upper right) and Kurt Russell.
Also
-Keith David (Childs)
-Wilford Brimley (Dr. Blair the Diabetus man!)
-David Clennon (Palmer "You gotta be fuckin' kidding.")
-T.K. Carter (Nauls)
-Joel Polis (Fuchs)
-Thomas G. Waites (Windows)

Collecting for me is all about sentimental value and this one reminds me how I lifted my feet from the sticky cinema floor when I got the shit scared out of me back in 1982.

I love Klein Tools. I would buy everything Klein if I had a chance. Cable sheers, cable testers, screwdrivers, cabling clamps, you name it. They are leagues better than most tools I use.
I like most of their stuff. I found the Platinum tools snips to be awesome and in my second pair of those after 5 years.

I just like tools, gear and gadgets. This thing is versatile and a bit bulky but it replaces 2 other pieces I had and gives me bits for the impact.

You’re replacing an old one?

I don’t have one and I don’t have room but I’d love to just shove one into my
Kitchen somewhere.
I think they make portable dishwashers that you run out of the sink. Don't know if that would help you out at all. Edit: they have small ones that sit on the countertop for $200-300.

Put this together for my best friend that is coming to visit this weekend.
He's obsessed with Last of Us - game and show - so I tried to replicate Joel's watch, but with decent specs (sapphire crystal, automatic, 200m water resistance....) He also thinks he's British- he's not - hence the British military crow's foot.
He's not a watch guy, but I think he'll dig it:

Bought myself one of their parkas a few months back. It's one of the best I've ever owned. Real lightweight. Keeps the cold out. Last time I wore it, it was around -10. I was toasty as fuck. It felt like a warm summer day

Yeh they're dope, tbh tho, I bought because I like the tag on the arm, vanity is my favourite sin 🤣🤣🤣

I have a shit ton of signed stuff but only have a fraction of them framed so far.
Turns out high end framing is real expensive.
For example my Bill Paxton "Aliens" autograph only cost me 65$ back in the day but the frame cost me 240$.
But fuck it yes Bill deserves the best 🙂

I will share more when I can but not too much because I don't wanna feel like a show-off asshole 😊

First, that is amazing, I would have easily paid three times what you did for it. Second, $240 for framing? My local art store does very nice high-end framing for about half that cost, for frames three times the size.
