Nice.

New stuff for my truck came in today:

• American Racing Baja (black) rims
• Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires (285/70R17's)
• Access Vanish Tonneau Cover

I have a design drawn out for a disc golf storage system in the bed, using lots of wood and some corner brackets. Gotta clean all that clutter out from the back seat.

Good fortune has found me again! I spotted a local antique shop I'd never visited before and I popped in to see if they had any floor-standing antique globes. They had a half dozen!

I've given a new home to this locally-produced Kittinger terrestrial globe manufactured in 1931, Model 48F9. The globe was made by the renowned British globe maker W. & A.K. Johnston, and likely imported by A.J. Nystrom, Chicago. It's handsomely seated upon a hand-crafted 36" English Georgian style American Walnut stand with a carved acanthus leaf base and scrolling legs made in Buffalo, NY.

At ⅕ the price of the same model on auction sites, I couldn't pass it up. The globe is a lovely complement to my vintage decor and fits beautifully beside my French doors and antique Philco console radio and 78 player.

What luck!

The world is scavenging for toilet paper… and I’m buying antiques.

I miss my old globe that still had the Soviet Union.

I've decided to start folding origami again during this lockdown, so I bought some origami paper. It will take ages to arrive though, because it's coming all the way from Japan

I feel like a real Japanese person would call you a dumb gaijin for not just using some regular paper.

True. But did she work three hours on graveyard in the middle of a pandemic to become a walking Tuxedomoon billboard?

I have a globe like that, I got it as a gift in a reddit secret santa exchange lol

:laughing: true, but traditional origami paper is so pretty
