That is a VERY nice Aceliner. I love the green, all the green ones I’ve found in the bay so far are janky.

The one you have was made between 1971 & 1992-93

About a year and a half ago I got into FIDGET SLIDERS, Monkey Finger made one last year. So many of you would love this scene. Toys you can play with while driving or working, unlike yoyos.

I like blogging and commenting to videos. I’m one of those Gen X people who started liking things like forums, chatrooms and social gatherings live raves, concerts and dance clubs were cool places to expand my horizons. I read and deep think allot putting things into a perspective in writing form. I have other past time hobbies and activities. I enjoy like puzzles, video gaming, biking, trail walks, snowboarding, djaying, sleeping, cooking, roller and inline skating, designing, art. My adventures into yoyo unresponsive style goes back to my Duncan yoyo days. I like the new way of yoyos and the challenges that it gives me to learn and practice to getting good at it. To say your really good at unresponsive yoyoing is making a huge statement when you can show how far you progress getting skilled at it. Respect to all the skilled yoyoers out there.

Never thought my two obscure collections would collide like this, but here we are! Big vintage stapler fan here. @aorear85 oddly enough, I also LOVE me a good manual pencil sharpener. I’ve yet to pick up a sharpener, but I always appreciate the ones I come across on the walls at work. I do have a few staplers like the classic swingline, a 711, number 4 extended reach, an ACCO 50. I want to pick up a classic Hotchkiss style if I come across one.

Exotic pets. I have a female venezuelan suntiger I call Elvira

(This isn’t her but she looks like this)

Used to keep several rats too. They are so smart and very empathetic, crazy for something that is a pest. I miss Radar, Mochi, Cinder, Templeton, and Artemis.

I just feed and water her. She has “medically significant” venom. She is real clear about when she doesn’t want to be messed with and I take the hints. She’ll do this when she is unenthusiastic

When she shows off that blue I’m done

Orange Bitey Thing!! How was that? I want one but it’s a tough sell to the wife. I have seen videos of how pissed off those guys are

I am familiar with that pose. Does she make that grindy hissing sound too? I know some tarantulas do that when they’re ticked

I haven’t noticed any noises but she slaps at me sometimes before she shows fangs and warning flags. I wish cats gave more warning like spiders

If the lens is acrylic or clear plastic, try using some Polywatch on it. Meant for polishing scratched acrylic watch crystals (the glass/ lens), and it works incredibly well
