Time to Get Gnarly


Photo-A-Day #2848

I’ve been going into Target for months watching the prices on the Skylanders Special Edition Wii that had the exclusive Gnarly Tree Rex in it. The whole set is $149 but has gone as low as $119. It is the full version of Skylanders Giants plus three figures including Gnarly Tree Rex (A Black and Blue repaint of Tree Rex). I have been tempted on more than one occasion to buy that set but then practicality sets in and I realize that we just replaced our Wii with a Wii U. Why would I need a second Wii when we don’t even use our old Wii anymore. I could say that the wiimote inside and nunchuck plus Gnarly Tree Rex might be worth it at the $119 price. But I didn’t buy it and the price went back up to $129 and then back to $149. They haven’t sold many at any price so I wait and I watch. But I decided to go another route.

First off, a Very Happy Anniversary to my sister Tara and her husband Erik. 5 years! Congratulations. So because of that here some bonus Photo-A-Day Images.

Interesting foliage Another look

Today was a day to accomplish things. With Allison and I both attacking the back room we were able to consolidate quite a bit. It doesn’t look it right now but we are making progress on clearing out some junk and making this a room that is both a guest room as well as an art room for Allison so that she can work on her projects and get her Etsy store up and running.

This morning I looked at all the things I have hanging around, stuff I just don’t need anymore but maybe someone else might want it. So I am going to be posting quite a bit to eBay soon. I have the 1st 27 issues of Nintendo Power Magazine to sell, some Transformers from Botcon 2003 or rather The Official Transformers Collectors Convention 2003. I have the 4 exclusives in their boxes and I also have Binatech Sideswipe because I have two of that one. I also have some technical items to sell as well. Time to get rid of some stuff.

We also put the new stove through its paces.

The new stove.

Allison made a delicious chili for dinner and also some tasty chocolate chip cookies. She even put in a few white chocolate chips for me. She used the Smart Balance 50% butter 50% Smart Balance butter and I couldn’t even tell the difference. That is saying something and it is saying something good. Believe me I had my doubts about that stuff.

This morning I decided to tell the world the origins of my loathing of that peel and eat fiend, the banana. Now that we have the DVR and HD cable and all those channels I was able to watch 80’s videos. I guess I got nostalgic for 1986.

We went for a walk tonight and saw this car with this bumper sticker.

... Film at Eleven!

It immediately made me think of The Kentucky Fried Movie. Thanks to Neil and Derek. Seeing them earlier this week for lunch was a real treat.
