Big Boy Toys
So it seems that I'm getting closer and closer to being gainfully employed after taking some time off following the 2008 election. This means that I'll soon be able to but stuff. And if you know me, you know how much I like buying stuff... I'm what my friends here refer to as a "gear guy" - I guess that's someone who wants cool stuff, researches the best of the cool stuff he wants and then goes out and gets it - and finds peace knowing that it's the best stuff outt here.
Now I have to say that since I left the campaign world aside at the beginning of the year, I've been really good about keeping within my budget and not overspending to make sure that the money I had set aside for this time didn't run out. For a gear guy that's really tough... really tough...
But now that it seems I'll be back to having my stream of revenue before too long, I've decided on a list of ten items on my most wanted list - what I'm calling big boy toys... Some of them are things I'll buy soon, some are things that may take a while... Oh, and they are in no particular order...
1. HD MiniDV Video Camera with Waterproof Housing
2. Military Spec Night Vision Goggles
3. 1968 Ford Mustang 390 GT
4. Celestron C150HD Telescope
5. Secret Service IFB/radio set
6. Bose 3rd Generation Noise-Canceling Headphones
7. Dual Shock Mountain Bike
8. Set of Normann Knives
9. Nike Sasquatch Sumo 5900 Driver and Club Set
10. Campagna T-Rex
I'll leave it up to you to look up the stuff you don't know about - but trust me - these things are amazing, and yes, I have my reasons for each and every one of them. And yes, this list is likely to grow by leaps and bounds, but I thought ten a right round number for now...
So the question is - what do you want??
And PS - if you google "Bog Boy Toys" make sure your image filter is on...

Nice Andy...exciting that there is a job prospect! Which item do you plan on purchasing first?
As for what I want. If it has to be 'gear', I want a new up to date computer. Oh and a cell phone that holds a charge!
just please be sure that none of these items are on your Christmas list....it'll hurt my heart if you are disappointed in a nice fountain pen and a cool pair of socks. mom
It seems to me that you are preparing to take on an secret identity. Do those of us who read your blog get to be in on the secret?? And exactly what will your mission be?
