Also a BG-E3 battery grip for my Rebel XT, and a B+W .6 neutral density filter.

Thank you so much for turning me on to subterranean, grawk. Malazan is my favorite fantasy epic ever.

Audio book version of Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I've already read the book a long while back, but I really enjoy listening to stories, more so than reading them now-a-days.

Do yourself a favor, get a 4-40 tap and holder. You'll use it more than you ever thought possible if you keep building things.

I really should cause those self tappers are such a bitch.

Kata T-214 sling bag.

Twas a very, VERY good day!!

Picked up a 70-200 f4L and some filters. That was the last thing I bought aside from cigarettes.

Nice! Wish she was touring NE.

She was just in my hometown a few weeks ago, in CT.

refurbed mac mini core duo 1.83 w/ superdrive for $479. This will become my htpc.

The RS-1s came.

K340s arrived in much better than anticipated condition. They need a recable but have already been converted to dual sided cable entry along with a few other mods. I won't know much till I get them apart but for now I've got them warming up on the Wheatfield to see how they sound.

4 big crates of old tubes, transformers, and radio parts.

Can't post the last thing I bought, it's Ian's birthday present and shall remain a surprise until I deliver it. I do enjoy torturing him though so I thought I'd post about it in this thread.

HAHA I do the same with my gifts to my g/f. I had to tell her I bought her present today, so she can squirm for a month.
