Weirdest thing you've bought in lock down

I was there a few months ago. New ownership and a little bit different these days. Still have darts and the bottle cooler, but they're trying to pull the place into the 19th century. Frankly, I liked the way it was better.

For a week, I was convinced it was just wet mulch. About 10 days in you could see the little tiny mushrooms and they double in size every day until you harvest. They say you can get 5-6 harvests. My first harvest was 22 mushrooms each the size of an apricot or nectarine.

LOVE the Spig. Went there like 10 times last summer to drink, play darts, watch games and eat. Easily one of my favorite spots in the area. I love that you can bring food in. Can also play cards and do whatever as long as you're buying beers and being respectful. The crowd is a nice mix and there's no snobs to be found. Place is awesome - I can't wait for normal to return. I may have to buy my own sets of darts now though!

I spent a lot of time there for a couple years during law school, especially on the dart board. My best friend got me a great set of darts as my graduation present and I still use them to this day, and would recommend them. 24 gram Powerpoint Steel Tips, 90% Tungsten. Try to go to a place where you can throw a bunch of different ones before buying.

I went to "club spigot" mainly from around '90 'til probably '92. Tail end of undergrad and through the MBA program. I had my darts in my VW "Rabbit "GTI glovebox for years, then another car, then another. Ted's was the late night staple during the week. But also spent some great time hanging at places like the Bidwell for birthdays etc. Had a couple of rager parties at the weird Chuck's/Margaritas place in the middle of nowhere. Then there was the Civic Pub pre-gaming for Civic Center games and of course the Russian Lady. I'm guessing a few of us have rubbed elbows IRL. Cheers!

Wow I'm old.
 
Nothing “weird” just a bunch of things to keep me occupied during lockdown.
1. Chess board- wanted to learn the game, quite fun.
2. Fitbit- on sale at Kohl’s.

now I need wireless headphones to go with the Fitbit. Anyone know of any decent off brand ones?

Bought and A5 wagyu steak. It was our anniversary and we weren't going to a fancy restaurant. No baby sitter expenses (just waited for them to go to sleep). Nice steak and lobster with many nice sides. Great excuse to spend too much on a steak.

Sony makes really decent wired and wireless headphones for around 50-70 bucks.

I've been slowly rebuilding out my home office. When I ordered my desk, I left it in the garage for a month after seeing it was made in China and after dousing it with Lysol.

I need another chair. I think I should wary if the chair was made in the USA now. :(

The old Civic Pub on Asylum. Does anyone remember the guy with Yankees hat that used to play his belt like a saxophone? We used to go there and then head to Reins Deli for some green pickles and food.

Yogi. Used to also be a regular at Scarlett O'Hara's. Believe it or not, he's still alive and has a facebook page. Fans of Yogi.
 
Fake 7 foot palm tree, 2 solar powered tiki lanterns, 2 deck chairs, a table, a mini parrot statue, a “no shirt no shoes no problem sign” and lots of rum all for my balcony. I call it “The Oasis”.
 
8 ft inflatable pool with filter to use on my courtyard near my firepit and grill. Should be up and running for a memorial day opening - can't count on the beaches and community pool being open
