That's my old 10" Newtonian the RC is replacing, it's to be sold at this point. Pictures will be in the Amateur Astronomy thread down in DIY and Hobbies once it stops raining. Which might be weeks now I've bought this.

I'm not trying to sound all preachy like I know your hobby better than you do, but if it was ~me~ I'd have the telescope outside or at least have a hole in the roof or something for it to look though :colbert:

The drawers are in great shape. The top veneer needs some rehabilitation, but the thing is solid wood and the ceramic nobs are awesome.

It's not deco furniture, but I also had a good thrift shop find recently. 99.9% of the jackets/blazers at Goodwill are just godawful, but I usually check them out just in case. Yesterday I lucked out and found a chocolate brown jacket that fits great. Two-button, single-breasted, notch lapels, great condition overall. Seems like it was donated because the stitch holding part of the lining on broke, but it should be simple enough to fix.

$7 including dry cleaning, so the price is definitely right.

My desk is that style and I love it. It's not in that good of shape but I got it for free because the fellow who owned it was going to use it for firewood / had been using it to hold wood he was drilling through. Thankfully it wasnt so bad. I put some wood putty in it and since the hole is under my laptop I got a pretty good desk for free. Also saved it from some weird rear end in a top hat who doesn't appreciate furniture (strictly speaking my uncle was the one that saved it since he saw it and was like what the hell are you doing?).

I just went to the thrift store and bought the only varsity-style jacket they had on the rack - the only one I found anywhere in town, for a costume (Jacket, appropriately enough, from Hotline Miami.)

The jacket had $250 in cash in the pocket :catstare:

Favourite recent purchase indeed.

Make sure you dry it off super meticulously after you clean it(if you use water). I got one last year and left some water in between the blades overnight and it started to rust.

I bought several spices and 12 oz of Tilapia to make some lunch today.

http://www.101cookingfortwo.com/grilled-blackened-tilapia/ Here's the recipe I used, It was very tasty but I think next time I do it, I'll only coat one side of the fish. It ended up way overpowering the flavors of the fish

What kind of tilapia are you buying that actually has a flavour? Any time I've bought it it's always been a generic whitefish.

You're right, the fish is pretty lacking in flavor, I should've said that while the recipes calls to coat both sides, you really only need to do one side for optimal enhancement of the tasteless fish meat

You're really not supposed to clean hair clippers with water. Brush off any remaining hair with a stiff bristle brush and periodically oiling the cutting surfaces is all it should ever need.

It's not that I'm against tilapia, I've just never noticed any particular flavor when eating it is all.

When I was young we used to play in my friends parents room, for some reason.

I remember we went through his dads closet and were floored when we found a $100 bill in the inside pocket of each of his jackets.

His dad was pissed that we were rooting through his stuff when he found out, but explained he did it for emergencies, if he was ever stranded and needed cash.

This was the early 90's, so long before the prevalence of mobile payment
