Watches. Every few months I buy another one. I’m up to about 25 now. Some expensive ones and some not so much. Some new and some vintage. Some quartz, some automatic, and some mechanical wind up. I wear almost all of them eventually.

That’s my wife. She’s big into watches. I never was but this Christmas she bought me a nice limited Tag and I’m not gonna lie…I could see getting hooked on buying more. It’s funny but a nice watch does seem to really complete a good look.

I've been buying Pepsi Zero calorie every day at lunch. I like the zero calorie idea a lot, willing to sacrifice some flavor.

Oh wait, that has aspartame. OK, then nothing "harmless" for me.

I’m addicted to tinkering with my bow. I just bought a new dozen arrows in a different spine to increase my FOC and now I’m looking at single bevel broad heads.

HOWEVER…..

Now I’m putting a big-bore kit, cam and re-jetting the bike. Also looking at removable tourpack which would require moving tail lights….

Essentially, bike and bow…

Finding golf balls…i think I have enough to last the rest of my life however I am always hawking for more!
Joe, there is a Facebook group “Golf Ball Collectors”. I have small, 300 course logo, ball collection. Basically, courses I’ve played. Some of the people in this group have thousands upon thousands….and keep on looking. I’ve been around golf for 60 years and some of their pictures, of old model balls, amaze me. They do some buy, sell and trade and have balls catalogued. Most balls not worth much past shipping costs. Some guys, like you apparantly, just like to hunt🙂

That's a cool thing to collect. I don't exactly collect them, but it's fun to find ashtrays from old casinos.

YES...EDUCATION OF OUR YOUNG...
Sometimes it takes a little more effort, but a teacher should never give up on the education of that moving target.

I have the same Mack Truck bulldog ashtray as the one in the photo however the dog is bronze. I doubt it has any value but it is a fun thing to display in my den.

Buy now or cry later. FOMO is hard-core in the record industry right now.

I had tons of records before I ever got a turntable. Of course they used to cost a fraction of what they do now.

Buying LPs is the most addicting thing in the world. I have 50 LPs I haven't listened to yet and I bought 5 more this weekend. There's a RUSH boxset that will be mine this coming weekend..
