Joke of the Week
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who know binary,
and those who don't.
Introduction
This is my wish list as of 10 March 2017.
I have been asked why I have such a large wish list in a "Aren't you being greedy?" sort of
way. But then I also have people ask me what I want for a birthday, Christmas, going away party,
etc. and it's very easy to point them to this list. This is simply a list of things I would like to own.
The items on this list have generally been prioritized. I would rather have the items closer to the top
of each subsection, as opposed to the ones on the bottom. However, I
would rather have the ones on the bottom as opposed to none at all.
You can find the most recent version of this wish list online at
www.cwholemaniii.com/pages/general/wish_list.shtml
- Anything leather from the Saddleback Leather Company.
Top picks: "Big Mouth Tool Bag," "Side Pocket Duffle", and the "Leather Trunk". Each in "Dark Coffee Brown." (This is a great place for gift cards...)
- Books - See below.
- An Inspire 1 Pro / Raw quadcopter.
- Medieval Weapons
- Cool boxes, barrels, chests and other neat containers
- Chocolate candy.
- Money/Gift Certificates.*
- Penny whistles in the keys of C and B minor
- Double Flute in D. (something like this)
(*NOTE: The location of this in my list depends on how much of it there is...)
For the Canon EOS line of cameras.
(NOTE: Nice* means leather bound with gold leaf, etc. If it's listed under Nice, it means I already have a copy & want an epic show piece / home copy.
Click here for example.)
