Breakfast 9/17/08

A coworker was kind enough to bring these in for breakfast the other day. We had a potluck for lunch that day but I still had to eat a ton of them. Good stuff.
Spam musubi. Simple and yet so good. A slice of spam, rice that's been compressed to make a rectangular cake, some bbq sauce, all wrapped in seaweed. Mmmmmm

Desert Palms

These came before the racks, but forgot to post about it. Desert Palms Clay chips. Not Pure Clay chips that the vendor is now selling on their site.
Out of the box these were whiter than I had anticipated. The old cheapy plastic ones I have aren't as white.
Inlay design. The palm trees change color with every denomination.
Color variation between chips. About one in 20 has the off white greyish tint to them. Apparently common with BCC chips.

Chip Racks

Got five racks for my new chips. Racks with covers so I can carry the chips in my backpack instead of the metal case. It'll also be easier to carry the egg timer for timing the blinds in the backpack.
Why double boxing is key when going through UPS. I think someone stepped on the box. Unfortunately, it wasn't double boxed, but fortunately, they were bubble wrapped.

Safely out of the box, no damage.

Chips loaded up.

All chips racked up.

The Desert Palms $1s, Mardi Gras Clay $5s, Club Cleopatra $25s, James Bonds $100s, and Club Cleopatra $500s

Why the racks are perfect for stacking, they line em up perfect for stacks like this. 200 chips.

More Chips

A package came in the mail the other day. Part of my new set of clays. Club Cleopatra chips.
Came like this from the mail, fortunately no visible damage from transport. Just jiggled around in the box a little bit.

The chips side by side, green $25 and purple $500

All stacked up. Ordered 60, got two extra for free. 62 stacked up, nice and solid, no spinners.

Fun with Chips

I am slowly building my clay set. Here is my meager 3 tiered tower. They're usually hexagons, but even when I do get my full set going, I won't have enough for that. Will be doing a 4 tiered tower soon. Woo hooo.
The black chips are Paulson James Bonds, $100 denomination. The orange chips with the red inlay are Paulson Classics, $1000 denomination. The orange chips with white edge spots are Blue Chip Desert Palms, $5000 denomination.
