Gear bought same day, but different years

I have a list of what gear I’ve bought on what days, well instruments, amps, pedals, and a few other things.
Some I don’t know the dates, but most I do- thanks to keeping a list, and/or receipts.
So I realized today, while most days are only in one year, and one item, September 20 has been a busy day for me, over the years, at least for me, compared to other days.
In different years I have bought
Ibanez AF-95 & Fender G-Dec Junior-same year

A few years later a Dunlop GCB80 High Gain Volume Pedal
Then a few years later, a second Dunlop GCB80 High Gain Volume Pedal
And last year, a TC Electronics Subnup Mini Octaver

One volume pedal and the Subnup mini are in my bass pedal board

The other is on my guitar board, seen here when seeing how things fit, and before fastening anything down

There was a sale last weekend at Long & McQuade, I went on the 19th, but didn’t buy anything.
If I had gone on the Saturday and bought something, there’d be something else for the list.
Some things were bought at L&M, some not.

Anybody else?

A long time ago, I ordered a Rickenbacker 370/12. It arrived 44 months later. I was setting up a NYE gig when my wife took the call from L&M that my guitar was in. When I came home she asked me: What do I know, and how did I find out? Apparently I hadn't told her this was inbound.

The next year, another NYE gig. I'm not home, d'wife gets a call from L&M. My Gretsch Country Gentleman was in. When I came home she asked: What do I know, and how did I find out?

Ooops. I forgot to mention it again.

Experience is what allows me to recognize a mistake when I make it again.
