When you unpack the dragon-cube, does fire and electricity spark everywhere like that? Could be useful on camping trips.

Well I don't know firsthand since I didn't buy it for me, it was for my guy down under. But he didn't mention fire and electricity so probably not.

he did however take some pictures of it with the Judy Hopps figure I bought him for his birthday a couple years ago.

Awesome Judy Hopps! I wish I had her and Nick Wilde here.

Retractable pencil erasers and a pack of refills. And 98+ feet of four inch wide plaster cloth. Going to use this for torso and head casting. Have a life size replica of myself to model cosplay body armor on. Made a duck tape dummy some years ago. Ended up destroying it by accident. Used expanding foam to firm it up. The foam stretched the duck tape to its limits. Ended up way to big to use.

2'x4' 1/2 " plywood to cover a hole in the wall the dog made...

A pasta machine. Love home made pasta. Do not love rolling this stuff out. Got a Marcato Atlas 150 coming from Amazon.

Wile taking measurements to put up new shelves in the basement I found the exact same pasta machine I just bought. Model number and all. Forget someone had given me this years ago as a Christmas gift. So now I'm attempting to cancel my Amazon order. If the order still goes through I can always give the new one away as a Christmas gift.

YES! Just got an email from Amazon. Saved myself 80+. So I guess this is " The last thing you almost bought."

I bought many integrated circuit chips for a project I'm working on. Many arrive Wed, through Friday. 3 companies shipping to me.

A $60 book from Amazon.

I bought Nothing recently. I need more food. Waiting for next check to arrive so I can buy things I NEED this time, not things I wanted.
Not low on cash, just trying to teach myself to be more-better with money.

Groceries including a stack of cheap pizzas, a few cans of SPAM, baked beans to go with the SPAM and some bread and cheese for making SPAMwiches.

Yeah, I like SPAM, don't judge.
Also a few cans of Spaghetti O's.

Bought boring, low taste, food like salads. I'd rather be eating those spamwiches. I like low sodium spam as well as the black peppercorn spam. Especially in 4 cheese macaroni!

I 'm allergic to pork. Before I knew that I remember eating spam and liking it. But it's been so long I don't remember what it tastes like. Check out recipes from Hawaii.

Bought a new cordless home phone. My old one keeps cutting out on me. Also bought a five pound block of Monster Clay. It's a wax based non hardening sculpting clay. Going to use it to sculpt armor for cosplay. Really looking forward to going back to conventions!

I'm not really a "recipes" type of person. I like to keep my foods as simple and quick as I possibly can. As such the only two things I use SPAM for is dicing it up and adding it to some baked beans or cutting it into thick patty like slices and putting it in a grilled cheese.

I'd be mindful about that clay. I was going to use it for sculpting things but it really does not harden whatsoever. You can't bake it, it'll melt, if you leave it exposed to air it just sits there not reacting. I didn't even find it to be very useful for molding either.

Kay. The clay isn't supposed to harden. What it's used for is molding for casting or, what I'll be doing with it, sculpting to transfer patterns off of. I can cover the sculpt with small pieces of masking tape. Cut the patters off. Scan them into a spread sheet program. Enlarge the patters wile using the spread sheet fields to make registration marts to line everything up after it's all printed out. For life size I have all the materials now to make a plaster cast of my head and torso. Once made I can use this clay to sculpt armor. Once sculpted I'll apply tape, cut off the patters. use them to make good patters and transfer to foam. Five pounds isn't enough to do a full armor set. So I'll have to make parts first. Place the on the plaster dummy. Then sculpt more armor. This will make overlapping pieces so much easier. Getting back into cosplay full swing. Hopefully have something put together for our local fur con next year. I have ten months. So nine months from now I'll get started on it.

Technically I bought this guy some time ago when i put in my pre order but he came in today.

It's a rather awesome robot that has a robotech/macross feel to it and transforms into a Chinese Chengdu J-20 Stealth Fighter Jet.
I didn't make the above video I just thought it was a nice video showing off the way it transforms.

Tin snips, two part glue, double sided tape, two sets of guitar tuner pegs, five guitar bridges, 6 more CRI95+ LED light bulbs, a clip on guitar tuner, 7 LBs of beef ( still on that high protean diet ) and an eight pack of Gatorade because I can't find the powered stuff anywhere.

Jade Sinapu · « **Reply #947 on:** June 16, 2021, 10:09:45 am »

the powdered Gatorade is hard to find.
And let me guess the High CRI 95+ LED bulbs are for illuminating art work?!?!?! I bet so, because I can tell you from first hand experience that my lame colored pencil drawings look better under sunlight or high CRI bulbs than crappy LED bulbs.

Last thing I bought was carpet cleaner.

Jade, ya caught me red handed.

I want to put a couple of these over my work bench in the basement too. Been working with a fluorescent light fixture for years.
