 Early 1935 Olympia Simplex, a German typewriter with Spanish keys (has the ñ), which seems to be a not so-common find as the civil war (36-39) and latter autarchic regime kinda put a stop to importation here. Came on a broken wooden case, covered in grease and dust and missing half of the black paint and decals. On the other hand it had no missing pieces and it worked right out of the box (dead tape notwithstanding). From the well-worn, plastic replacement tape it had installed, I think this thing was in heavy duty use up until the 70s at the very least. Since it was not a particularly expensive or valuable typewriter (25€ plus shipping), I did somewhat of a manual restauration. I took the metal casing out, cleaned the machinery (which had decades of crap caked into the grease), removed as much rust and I could from the casing and repainted it with rust-stopping paint. I also filled a hole near the left hand rest that had corroded into two sharp metal bits. The decals were repainted by hand using what little was left of them as guidelines, then added a thin cape of varnish coating to prevent further decay. The result may not be professional, but it at least looks a bit like it used to do  . And it writes!

I picked up an Empress Effects Zoia - one popped up used and after some research I sent him an offer and he accepted and I'm never looking back. It's exactly what I was looking for as my first / only effects pedal. It's kind of like a modular synth / DSP in a box, and instead of having this chain of synths or effects I can just plop what I want into its grid and go. Practically limitless possibilities since you can tweak just about any parameter.

I got a book about the Minamata environmental disaster, second hand library book, but first edition hardcover. It's haunting.

I have a goruck bag and its a sturdy bag but drat I wish I was aware of how loving stupid their brand/culture is because now I just want to sell the dumb thing so people don't think I'm like that.   their whole schtick is playing army man and having a trainer yell at you and throw poo poo in your face for hours to prove how tough you are (and paying hundreds of dollars for it). It's the most extra display of machismo faux-patriotism bullshit

Fellow in our neighborhood was big on that for a while last year. Iirc he just had a jansport or something and tossed plates in there. You could always just take off the patches/branding on the bag if you already own one of theirs.

I was a boy scout for a bit and it always bothered me that merit badges weren't placed in a hex grid pattern. Such inefficient use of space.

Goruck is the weirdest thing. If you want good bags might I recommend mystery ranch or something like that. Its what we bought to do actual army man things in harsh places.

Mission Workshop makes stellar bags and doesn't have a weird culture around it, as far as I know.

Mission workshop bags are really expensive and styles for messenger bikers etc. Nothing wrong with that but last I looked they were awful for hiking or camping. Well awful is a strong word. Not designed for.

Well awful is a strong word. Not designed for. No one suggested them for hiking or camping, but they're killer everyday bags and the best quality bags you can get for less than $100. I got their medium messenger about 10 years ago and while I don't wear it on one shoulder because it's too big/heavy when loaded, it makes a great travel duffel and is still practically new after a lot of abuse. Like Timbuk2 but better materials and construction.
