First in a long list of “Things I want but don’t need”

Despite never having drunk alcohol and having no interest in doing so, I am fascinated with barware. I love all the odd glasses, mixers, stirrers, bar decorations, and other “stuff” that is associated with alcohol(and especially mixed drinks). The stuff from the 50s/60s are my favorites. And of all that I have seen, this set is my absolute number one barware lust object.

They are absolutely the coolest set of glasses(there is supposed to be one more, but the set pictured is missing it). Sadly, in the rare case they pop up on ebay they tend to go for $200+. So it may be a long time before I can get some.

But when I do they will have a place of honor in the rumpus room that will one day be built in the basement.

More Craigslist fun

I don’t expect the people posting car ads to have great grammar or spelling, but sometimes their errors make ads really frustrating or difficult to read.

In contrast, the error in this craigslist post for a 1962 Buick Super makes it hysterical to read. Here is the ad in it’s entirety.

the car was ruining last year

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If a car had ruined an entire year for me, I’d consider selling it that cheap too. Better to have it gone that risk it ruining another year.

This is a warning that I have put an offer in on a house, and as such the house and associate stress is eating my head. So if I miss a weekly update or am late please understand that this is why.

Usually I write 1-3 entries at a time, so hopefully there won’t be a lot of disruptions, but I can make no promises.

Random shiny thing, made shinier.

I found this cooler at an antiques flea market, its a “FeatherFlite by Poloron” 2 gallon drinks cooler. It cost me all of $18 dollars and is in great condition. The aluminum was a bit dull, so I spent an hour while watching TV polishing it out with my favorite metal polish (Nevr-Dull). It came up amazingly well, and looks great.

In addition to looking great in the wagon, this drinks cooler will be really handy for picnicking this summer.Now I just need a matching cooler.
