I bought an old Volvo at the beginning of the summer. And a month of driving it and the transmission started acting up. So I need to get it looked at to see if it’s worth fixing or just trying to sell it off as is and taking the hit.
And I need to put a new roof on the garage. Woof.

im a huge coffee drinker too and ive been eyeing on some autobaristas . expensive but totally worth it rather than a $5 cup every morning they add up pretty quick. 40x50 is a good size me kev. good luck on the shop endeavor that would keep you busy but would generate income to buy some more gear hehe. and man thats a lot preamps! Cheers mr. @KevyKev

I got the Classic C1 HomeCare (Red model). It has the electro brush/wand without the LEDs and the storage options aren't internal like they are on the C3, so it saves some coin.
The motor is the same across the line if I recall correctly and that thing is *powerful*. I think it was listed for $800 at the time (2020 before the price runs), but I got it knocked down to like $650 or something like that. We have two cats. A bag might last like a month and a half, but the box of 4 is fairly affordable - usually like $22 off Amazon. The secondary HEPA filter allegedly needs to get swapped every year and those bastards are expensive, but it's worth every penny when you see what it's filtering out.
oh man i would love to learn to start skiing. it ses hard but looke super fun. my back injury jhas stopped me fr enjoying things like that but i would love to try one of this days. surely skiing is more cheaper than restoring vibtage cars but ski gear is expensive is expensive as heck too but bith hobbies is a sure great time to passby anf make memories with famiky doing it. Cheers mr @musicmansf . have a great day sir
And now that I'll be finishing off my student loans, I can afford the obligatory skiing knee surgery too!
car repairs specially transmission can be an expensive fix. the roof is more expensive but will benefit from it sir. have a good one and cheers Mr . @tidbits
Id like to start racing dachshunds…Like for money. I don’t have a dachshund.
Not sure who I’d put my money on, the Gorilla or the dachshunds.
The kid starts college this fall. Hoping to get a set of tires and a second mesa 115 in before my entire stack is drained.

I'm in Colorado for a week. I've already blown my allowance on goodies.
As far as saving, there's nothing on the horizon.
It's only Wednesday, though. And I'm in Colorado.
I can't post the other greenery pictures.

I never discussed this with Mr. Broughton, we don’t have a relationship. But I felt like his whole way of doing business, back in the old days, generated very little stress. No pile of pre-orders hanging over his head. If he felt like sleeping in on drop day, no problem. Whether by design or just by happenstance, I imagine it to be a very low stress business model.
Apparently his infrastructure has changed over the years. Perhaps he has people to delegate to.
Broke protocol. Could no longer resist. Picked up a Bergantino Super Pre here, thanks to a longtime contributor listing it @ 2/3 the original price. Ive got two Bergantino cabs, plan to use it as a de facto effect loop for my S300/Arkham cube rig. I need to download the preset for my cab, hopefully that goes well, but i could not pass it up, even out of curiosity.
Digital has never worked for me.
Tubes past three effects is my limit, however. More than three tube interfaces is overkill. This could work swimmingly. One never knows. Best of both worlds? It does everything but tie your shoes.

Yeah will probably end up with a 30x40 which is still big but hey, can you ever have big enough?? Got an estimate last week on 30x40 insulated with slab included for 32k. Thought that was reasonable. Time will tell. Still big enough for trailer, 3 mowers, all my other equipment and should fit my truck as well.
Come on, don't be like that. This characterization is reductive and dismissive. You may not care for the current conversation, but if you read closely you will see that:
It's really uncalled for to write "nobody owes you anything"
- it's taking place in a new context (S300 built-to-order; just about monthly releases; some context for upcoming products) so it's hardly an unwarranted retread
- everyone has been thoughtful and respectful; no one has stated Broughton Audio owes them
Not cool. This thread is better than that.
Well, if anyone found that my post rubbed them the wrong way, then I guess it's good that I deleted the rest of the rabbit hole I was going down before settling on just that.
To be completely honest, the only thing I have less time for / interest in these days than reading these discussions is participating in them. So, I guess it was dismissive of the overall conversation, but yes it is also more of a generalization on life and not a personal attack against anyone in particular participating here.
In fact, It couldn't possibly have been personal, because No I haven't read any of it closely, as was perhaps rightly suggested might help to grasp the particular context this time around.
I just don't care about any of that anymore. And maybe it wasn't right to project that onto those who still do.
All that being said, my $0.02 is still the same as it has always been... Josh, as an independent bizness man, does not owe it to anybody to modify his practices to suit ANYONE other than himself, regardless of what the particular topic of the day might be, or how long and loudly we here might want to talk about it. And, Obviously he doesn't need to, because all these years later his stuff still sells out on Day 1 more often than not.
I just happen to think that there is more happiness to be found in accepting that and moving on than there is in dissecting it to death.
I think our collective homework should be to go make some noise with what we've got. Dust off a pedal from the shelf and find a new sound you didn't know you could make. Learn a song. Write some riffs. Stop thinking for a moment and just experience something. I'm guilty as charged myself.

When I landed a new job several years ago (finally got out of bartending) I bought my wife a Dyson. It was a big step up from the $40 Dirt Devil we’d had at our tiny little apartment.
Recently the battery couldn’t keep up, but I found a replacement on Amazon - 3x the original mAh and it’s basically back to brand new. It’ll run long enough to do the whole house now, which it never could before.
I’m sure it pales in comparison to the miele, but it keeps up after the toddler and the two fluffy cats well enough.
Play time has been limited recently, but I’ve been trying to do just that. I can usually get the kids into bed and the house kinda put back together to afford 20-30 minutes to myself before the wife gets home on evenings she works.
