Chris's new look

Things you can wash

These are thing that I have found in the washer or dryer and still work after.

Things that don'ts wash and dry so well:

PENS!!!

This is Why:

Who's Jeans do you think those are?

Pee Pod

I made a hammock. When I was finished Chris pointed out that it looked like a pee pod. A hammock like this cost $50 at R.E.I. I was going to buy one but then I thought "I could make this for less than that". I got the measurements off the tag and went to the fabric store to get some fabric. Went to home depot and got some carabiners and got 8ft of parashoot cord at R.E.I. I sewed up the fabric and that was it.

Here is its may-din voyage at Crystal hot springs. Chris was making fun of me when I was make it but he sure didn't mind napping in it.

Farewell Tape

I dug this up two days ago at a local DI - a missionary farewell talk from 1976. I probably will not be listening to it, but I do like that design of the cover. I've got some Depeche Mode I'll be putting on here.
In case you can't read the writig on the tape, it says "Scott Kimball Smith's farewll, 10 Oct. 1976"

Here is a little background on this tape hobby:

This tape hobby came about because Chris’s car stereo broke. It never worked that great anyway. He decided (for some reason) that he wanted to replace it with a tape deck. He went to a few pawn shops and finally found one. It was band new in the box and came with 2 speakers all for $30! He was a happy boy.
Then he needed some tapes so he ran around to all the DI’s in the valley. FYI – Tapes at DI are only 50 cents. This is an inexpensive hobby (finally!). He came home with 4 blank tapes…..come to find out they are only 30min tapes, 15min on each side. He was a little disappointed but continued his search and now he has this blog.

Merry Christmas Ryann!

So I have a secret hobby - I like to go to thrift stores and buy old blank tapes to listen to the mixes that other people put on them years ago. I'll be posting the good ones here as I pick them up. Todays won't really be a mix tape, just one that I picked up for my sister for Christmas, she used to listen to these guys all the time...

Also as an extra bonus I found this one just the other day (still wrapped!) The colors were glorious on it - pink yellow and teal. Makes me want to go chew a big piece of bubblicious. I don't even want to unwrap it, it looks so good like this.
