Whoa, has it really been five days since I last posted?
This is on a backyard trail around a 15-minute walk from my place.
I might be making more of these nature posts since I've made a new hiking friend.

A bit early, but bought some advent calendars for the kids (they're all around 30-something now).
Two nicer Lindts and a Ferrero-Rocher.
I can hear them calling out to me from the pantry.
(Not my kids, the lunatics amongst y'all.)
Insistently.
Halp.

Went to paint night at the old neighborhood Legion with a couple high-school friends. I was the only guy there.
It was a ton of fun doing my third ever painting.
It got me clean out of my head for 90 minutes or so.
The canvas became a 10" x 16" escape portal.

That's about all the good stuff, except for the Ultraman stuff I didn't bother pulling out. (Had to huck a lot due to melting vinyl.)
Anything remotely worthwhile in there?
Red XIII and Aerith still have their tags. They're a little dusty, though.

Clarification for non-Canadians.
Timmy's: Tim Hortons coffee shop chain. Launched by a hockey legend, but now owned by some private equity firm. Now often uneasily paired with Wendy's burger chain.
We're supposed to hate them now.
Double-double: Two cream, two sugar. Hi-cal sludge.

Google Lens is useful for identifying random tchotchkes like the first one (see Alt for identification), but the second one stymied it.
I'm pretty certain it's either Go Nagai, maybe a character from Violence Jack/Devil Man, or Ken Ishikawa (leaning that way because of the eyes). Help me out here.

It just keeps getting worse.
I keep finding boxes stuffed with stickers, watches, keychains, badges, pins, cards, tchotchkes of every color and bent...
Hard decisions are being made, though.
All the really cheap unpainted Godzilla and Ultraman gachapon & the like will be set aside as gift fillers.

Give away a lot, keep good stuff I can sell.

There is still more to be sorted and culled.
I still have several boxes worth in my office and a couple more in son's room.
After this, I need to flatten SNES, GBA, FC, SFC, N64 boxes and bag them up.

The sorting and culling continues.
Scratching my head at what to do with really obscure tchotchkes like metal Tamagotchi key chains and metal Ultraman figures. Singles of Namco arcade games, Gatchaman, Hello Kitties, etc., too.

Sorting and culling hundreds of gachapon figures, etc., for downsizing.
Hucked out a bunch of shitty ones like SD Gundams with parts missing.
Still need to cull through garbage quality Godzilla figures and the like.
Lots of loose stuff like FFX, Hamtaro, etc.
I still have BOXES of these things.

I rarely get sick, so I'm annoyed as all hell I'm fighting a cold now. (No big deal: scratchy throat, sore muscles, hot eyes.)
I already had a very minor bout with Covid that prevented me from seeing the Stars in April, too.
At least it's not Covid.

More from Taves Farm in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.
It costs about C$40 and you get to frolic with goats, shop farm produce, wander corn mazes, stroll among pumpkins, shoot a corn gun or pumpkin cannon, etc.
Fun family outing.
I saunter good.

Went to Durry at the Fox Cabaret in Vancouver.
Twas a fun show full of punchy singalong altrock tunes.
A young fella came up to me, "Are you Nob?"
I thought was it someone from Bsky who took me up on my offer to say hi in exchange for a beer?
But it was my best man's son.
I bought him two beers.

Owaitaminute, I'm seeing the problem here.
Google image search brings up PR photos of generally evenly sized Hawkins nuggets.
Not so in real life.
The sizes are all over the place.
The small nuggets are practically hardened chunks of salt and corn starch. My mouth is watering at the thought.

These things are Canadian snack crack.
They're crunchy hard, loaded with salt, exotic chemicals & food coloring, and uneven in shape and size.
They are nothing like the wimpy packing foam Cheetos.
My JP friends were shocked by the saltiness, "I can't taste the cheese!"
They bought some to take home!
