A 3.5" removable drive bay so I can switch from Windows to Linux in ten seconds instead of ten minutes.

I did buy a pair of French cars today (at an automotive swap meet), a few vintage Canadian automotive magazines, and a few vintage photos...

Another music box and a small white dog purse with black ears. I needed a small white dog stuffed toy for the Halloween costume I’m doing this year. I’m going to use polyfill to give it a more sturdy and fuller body so it can sit inside of the wicker basket. My costume is going to be Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs and the basket will have a container of lotion with a note that says “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” And on the back there will be another note that says “It places the lotion in the basket.” The dog has black ears and this material that looks like its wearing a shirt or vest but the ears have ribbon bows on them which is close enough for Precious. I even wrote the name Precious on the dog tag. Now all I need is a really cheap wig and cheap makeup and I’ll be set for Halloween.

These vintage dog books- I love learning about the science, evolution, genetics, behavior, psychology, training, breeding, grooming, health, and history of every dog breed, and how the breed standards have evolved over time. I have all the current AKC and FCI breed standards, and a grooming diagram of every coat type, catalogued in my brain
Special interests are my strongest autistic trait But it gives me a strong edge over my competition

I have a Pointer, not a Setter, but I love all the Setters (Irish, English, Gordon, and Irish Red & White.) Was actually considering an English Setter about a year ago but the grooming upkeep is a just bit much.

And since I’m not crazy about fiction, I got some kids’ chapter books/novels to try to read when I’m bored and tired… I am definitely still a child inside my head
I’m easily amused too.

I had a Border Collie growing up who looked almost exactly like that one. I’ll look for a picture of her.

And yes, definitely meant for school-age children, but I love creepy stuff, and creepycute stuff… so a children’s novel about a ghost cat will do lol

Tin boxed Nostalgia Edition

 

[Captain Jigglypuff]

A Roku Express that was on sale for $25. I’m satisfied with the purchase as I really wanted to watch Netflix and Disney+ on my tv but was tired of waiting for Nintendo to add the apps to the Switch. I also bought a HDMI Switch so that I can still use my Nintendo Switch on my tv without needing to unplug the Roku.

It probably looks like I’ve been spending a lot… yes, more than I usually allow myself for “non-essential” items, but I’m earning enough income now that I can set most of it aside and get myself some small items (aside from the vest, these were very miniscule purchases.)

More vintage dog books:

New shooting vest for field trials:

These wall hangings with some of my favorite quotes:

A few reams of legal-size paper and some notepads, and a West Bend electric skillet--all from the thrift store. The electric skillet is a godsend as I don't have a kitchen stove here in my apartment.

Also a heavy starting battery for the car (and the fellow at the parts shop was nice enough to throw in a free terminal for the cable; took me some time to cut the cable and fit a new end to it, but then the car started up quickly.)

I need to get some radio parts, some fabric, and other stuff...and make a grocery run. And I just found brand new parts for my old Edison wax cylinder phonograph so I have simply got to get some of those. Maybe I'll be able to play it.
