The skate boards take me back, I owned at least a dozen of the boards pictured at one point or another. Only two survived...
I do have a bit of a bike problem.
Fishing gear and all the shit that goes with it. According to my wife I have a problem.
I have a fine collection of scars and hardware parts on my lower extremities.
The more you hit shit, the more understable a disc gets and sometimes after a point, that is not what you are looking for in that particular mold.Quote:

And they also get stuck in fucking trees. I keep a slingshot in my disk golf bag and can occasionally knock them loose. Haven't played in 5 years thought so the tubes on the wrist rocket are probably rotted away now. I need to get back out, best in the winter when the leaves are off the trees and poison ivy is at a minimum.Quote:

I probably have 8 that run from:
Big hiking fanny pack
Bike/hiking camelback
ski touring day pack
Travel daypack/laptop bag
38 L Big daypack/ultralight pack
~48 L weekend pack
~ 60 L light extended trip pack
~ 90L extended trip backpacking pack
As someone who grew up riding transition (read pipe, pool & park) during the Dog Town/Stecyk/Skateboarder era, my decks, trucks and wheels all got thrashed hard.Quote:

It's wood and PVC so doesn't shred much off the rails or trucks. Let's see, main decks I had when actually skating daily was Banzai, Alva 77 (27" red), G&S 27" FibreFlex, Boulder 10" X32". I had a Santa Cruz Stinger as my college campus transportation and a Stuart Singer Variflex Freestyle. I wish I had kept all of it but most regret giving away the last two when I was moving to NC in 1999.Quote:

Also, I have re issues of several that I use instead of the OG stuff when possible. I still dig taking a legit OG board for a cruise around the block or a couple hits on the mini. Just real slow in the driveway LOL..
Oh damn, speaking of skate gear and poser fodder, I've also got about 30 pairs of Vans and about 20 pairs of similar style Nikes and Adidias kicks.
Watches. Not sure exactly why, but I've always love wearing different time pieces. None are particularly expensive but the highlight is a 60 year old Omega Seamaster. I've also got several Timex and Swiss Army Chronograph watches as well as a driving watch.
I'd also like to have a car quiver one day but that's still a dream.
Count is 16 here.Quote:

That's awesome. Now you need some ukulelis and Don Ho albums to go with them. Tiki torches are no longer as desirable.Quote:

I used to break decks all the fucking time so I pretty much skated cheap blanks in widths that fit my big ass feet. Chicago skate bitd was pretty rad: marble everywhere, mobs of like 40 skate rats, and running from/beating down security guards with dobermans. In process of buying a house now and pretty sure a mini-ramp is getting built.
Yup. 12 row (30" rows) chopping head. 30' wide head with heavy duty lawn mower type blades on each row unit to chop up the plant to help the residue break down faster.Quote:

That reminds me, we haven't heard much from Jed recently?
I confess to a clutch of bamboo fly rods.
I do believe you have a clutch of other things bamboo as well...?Quote:

Nice. Since I posted that I've thought of at least a few more (I forgot the whole baby carrying category!) and I'm sure there are a few more I'm just forgetting that I don't use, but that's about my active quiver. I somehow can't resist a good deal on a pack when I stumble on it.Quote:

Also ex-wives and chambray shirts. I guess I have a problem.
Some of that better be headed to Colorado, since you are going to need to male room for an incoming shipment!Quote:

It will actually stand on its side primo, but just barely.
