    1) Mandolin
    2) Butter Churn ( I know I know, but I make the extra salt butter you buy at the grocery store look like unsalted and it is heavenly!)
    3) Manual Lever Operated Espresso Machine from 1986.
    4) Sleep Apnea Machine (CPAP) No snoring... happy wife happy life.
    5) iPhone (by way of MP3 players.. finally my cell and MP3 player together)

    On the Horizon
    -Old hand cranked Singer sewing machine (Plan on doing some leather work when I start making my own Military wet packs)
    -Mini Lathe (going to start making brushes,Pens,Espresso Tampers etc... now I'm just using a friend's lathe)
    -Road Bicycle (I run to work everyday and would like to alternate cycling so I still have some knees to use when I get older)

    This thread is a great idea... Cheers!

    I could ramble on for hours about all the things that have changed my life both for the good and bad, but to make a short list I'd have to tell you the things that I regret, there are two. First is that I didn't stay in the Navy to at least the 20 year mark. Second, that I didnt spend more time with my dad and father-in-law befor they passed.
    I could take something for each of your posts say thats me too but it seems that we all hold dear to the some things family, religion, country, and the good things of our youth. And a really good SR shave.
    Roll on bros!!!!

    There are only three things that come to mind, all positive and resulting in change for the better. God, my wife, my children, and I am deeply thankful for all three.
