Yeah I really dig the old apothecary style, especially for this application. I bought some textured linen paper and found a typewriter font for word I liked to make the labels and round out the look. But I need so many more drawers. I severely underestimated how many things I have for building fishing rods.

I went for a random drive yesterday and ended up in Atlantic Highlands. I stumbled upon the Monmouth County 9/11 memorial at Mount Mitchell. I honestly never heard of the place before yesterday but the view of the NYC skyline is beyond spectacular. The 9/11 memorial is an eagle holding an I-beam in its talon from the World Trade Center and the base has all the names of the Monmouth County residents that perished. Powerful imagery against the NYC skyline. Worth a visit if you're in the area.

Love this. I've been looking for something like this for my fly tying materials. I have everything in two plastic roller containers that I bought at Walmart like 15 years ago. Nothing is really organized and it takes me 5 minutes to find exactly what I'm looking for.

My wife did a whole lot of organizing in our apartment over the span of a couple of weeks. It's looking much less cluttered in our place, but it never feels like it due to the mess three kids under 3 years old leave behind on a daily basis. We're also making sure to sell a lot of old stuff we don't have use for when our building and two others on the block are having a sidewalk sale. That's going to require a lot of trips to our storage unit, which we also need to de-clutter since we want to go to a smaller unit which will cost less $$$. I'm even taking an entire day off work to prepare.
Typically, we take the money we've earned from the sidewalk sale and buy pizza for dinner. With the amount of stuff we might potentially sell, perhaps we can set our sights higher than just one pie.

That was exactly my problem. I had everything piled in totes. Half the building time was just locating the stuff I needed. I also organized the wrapping thread. I'll attach a picture of that later.

My bobblehead squad is looking good. I try to get at least one new one every baseball season. My most recent one is the second-to-last from the left, the Steve Schirripa (and Willieboy) Somerset Patriots bobblehead that I got Saturday. $60 got me one of them guaranteed, a Q&A session before the game, and a photo with him. Besides that, I got (L to R)
Darryl Strawberry, Mets
“Mensch on a Bench,” Brooklyn Cyclones
Brooklyn Jefes sugar skull, Cyclones
Endy Chavez making his NLCS Game 7 catch, Mets
The Joker, Cyclones
Francisco “El Troll” Alvarez, Cyclones
The Cyclones are easiest for me to take advantage of because I’m about 10-15 stops on the subway to get there, but there’s only one opportunity left and it’s a Superman bobblehead in anticipation for the new movie.
Last season, my wife noticed the Mets had a Hello Kitty bobblehead giveaway, which we didn’t go to. A friend of ours did and it was wise that we stayed away. Many of the people who went to get one didn’t even stay for the game, and it was kind of crazy to get in position for one in the first place.

Sadly, no. There’s a bodega near my mom’s apartment that had multiple Devils bobbleheads but they put them away a while ago.

Well since I was up so late I figured I'd try to grab a switch 2 when they went on sale at 12 on Walmarts site. How they sell out faster than the page can load I don't know, but it's almost impressive. It will be funny to see them up on eBay in the next week or so for 1k 
Does nobody spellcheck their book titles anymore? There's clearly an F in there that doesn't belong.
