    I remember all my cars & motorcycles; can't remember all my women.

    My first album: BAD BRAINS!

    There's been no looking back since.

    T/C Contender, the true impact of one shot takes all, soon followed by muzzleloading

    Straight Razors, My continued back sliding in technology

    Fountain pens, see above

    The re-discovery of the bicycle I'd probably be dead by now if I had not embraced it again

    1. Lens replacement after a lifetime of needing glasses to even see the bedside clock.
    2. My Leatherman that never leaves my belt. It saves me at least one trip per day to get a tool.
    3. SRs after poor shaving habits for far too many years.
    4. The Wang calculator. 1968. My intro to digital electronics. The console was the size of a big microwave, had six stations and two memory functions, added and subtracted.

    If i had to boil it down to one thing, I guess it'd be joining the military. I felt like I was on the right path beforehand. But the lessons learned, culture experienced, training received, hardships endured, and confidence built, during that time of my life have probably been the single most important factor in my success and happiness to this day.
