Ever finally buy something and thought...

A c-melody saxophone. Just bought one last week after wanting one for ages. It's fantastic; it looks and sounds very similar to a tenor (you probably wouldn't notice the difference), but it's significantly smaller and lighter; and it plays in C (as opposed to Bb or Eb)!

No more transposing in the middle of a jam! Whoopee!

Interesting. I never knew those existed.
 
A local favorite around these parts are Rainier cherries, and this is the time of year to get them. I always get a bag, then sit down with a small pocket knife to take out the pits, or spit them out while eating. Yesterday, I stopped by a roadside fruit stand to get a bag, there was this older lady was sitting behind the table eating a few, and she had some crazy contraption in her hand. I asked her what it was, and she said it was a necessity for any cherry eater. So I also went and got one. One of the coolest things I now own.....

Nice! I'm a big fan of local cherries too. My mother in law brought over a broadly similar device that does a bunch at a time but it seemed like a pain to clean. Fast though. Yours looks better.
