Baby's first pull station replacement! Shattered one had been in a boiler room since 1997, and still alarmed! Too bad the shattered case means the alarm couldn't reset 🤭

I, uh, was given a 60s-ish era very basic record player by a coworker who upgraded to a better one. I'm sure it's not the absolute best thing to be putting my records on, but Tournament Arc is sounding pretty good!

Discovered that the lid of the gaiwan I keep at work perfectly fits the mug I also keep at work, which means I can make mug ramen!
White mug with a blue and white gaiwan lid placed on top
