Stuff I Found
June 24, 2009If there was any doubt as to what I was going to write about today, let it be known that I will be going flat out to describe to you the RC airplane store that I just found out about. Yes, I frequent hobby stores. Ok, so frequent might be a slight over exaggeration, but I do go to a hobby store usually like once a year. Anyway, I found a store that has a bunch of RC cars, RC boats and even radio controlled planes. Naturally, they had a huge selection and the prices were great. And they carried both the electric and the gas powered RC stuff that everyone is looking for. I have to say here that I am a much bigger fan of the gas powered stuff as it is more fun to use, generally goes faster and makes much more noise. If you aren’t in RC for fun (and I think the noise is part of the fun) then you might be in RC for the wrong thing. I am in it for fun though and as such I set about making the most of my visit to the store by getting a couple of RC helicopters – you know, the small ones – and a model rocket kit that I can attach something to and shoot very high into the air.
I then went onto the Internet and found a site that sells only custom poker chips. What this means is that I can put any pictures onto the chips that I want to. So if I am holding a card night with my car buddies, I can have Mustang rims and Corvette accessories adorning them. Then when my gamer buddies come over, I can break out the paint ball gun chips and the video game characters. How awesome is that?! Make no mistake, I will be getting some of them for my next poker tourney.
