Can't justify spending $1500 on a new phone until there is a feature that matters.

Apple heard you say that, and is killing your battery as I type...

Always room for one more.

In all fairness, the phone function is really secondary. It's really a very portable computer.

Some Fall Home Scents. As I've gotten older, I absolutely LOVE the smell of Pumpkin Spice, Vanilla, Nutmeg, etc

You're right. And I was kidding. Trying to make it sound more expensive than it's worth.

All Apple products are expensive. My wife just bought me a new MacBook Pro 14 (early xmas gift). Their stuff is overpriced but worth it IMO. I've had a Mac since the beginning, and before that Apple II computers.

PS - the sound system in my new MBP is awesome. Compared to my old Mac and for a laptop, damn good.

Typing this on a new Macbook Pro 16. Yup. over priced. But I NEVER regret having them once I've paid. Pay once cry once.

Wifey's 3rd Dell in 5 years is acting out again. My 12-year-old MBP still runs flawlessly. Of course half the problem with the Dell is the shitty Windoze OS. It gets worse every year.

Nice!

Does that have the M2 Max chip? Mine has the M2 Pro chip. I got 16 GB of memory. If I would've got more memory it would've been upgraded to the M2 Max.

I got what I wanted: 16 GB of unified memory and 512 GB of SSD storage. More than I'll ever use (he says that now ).

PS - what do you think of the sound? Is it just me or is it pretty damn good?

I bought the MBP 14 with the M1 chip and 16GB to replace my mid-2012 MBP. I was absolutely blown away by the improvement in the sound!

No I got the M2 Pro. Which is way more processing than I will ever need unless some new computing application is invented. Biggest difference I see between this and my 27" desktop based on an old Intel chip is opening programs. Say I open the music app. I have over 32,000 songs and videos. My desktop takes almost a minute to open. Laptop? Done.

And I can not believe the sound out of this little thing. I still use my desktop and external speakers here at the house to jam along with for volume (bass guitar can not be played at really low volume - well can but I won't) but I know when I travel I will be quite happy with the sound in my hotel room.

That’s what I hate and why I try my best not to update software. You can have a perfectly working iPhone and the moment Apple wants to force an upgrade, all of a sudden you’ll start having battery issues.

Seems that Apple has released a new emergency patch to IOS 17 that should fix this issue, but that usually means some kind of reduction in functionality in order to "fix"

Putting a dry bar in the former dining room. Cabinets arrived today. Also going to be modifying the kitchen by moving some cabinets around. New countertops all around. Need to adjust a few cabinets doors so don’t mind those.

About the only rooms we have not touched yet so far. Only the guest bedroom and bathroom left after these two. Repainted the entire inside and new floors this year too. After that the place will be a good position for the next few years until we upsize lol. Hope to eventually make this my first rental for better or worse haha.

I've been admiring your avatar.

My cool weather jackets are getting a bit long in the tooth, so the Amazon Fairy put a Carhartt Super Dux Mock-Neck Jacket under my pillow. Anyone recommend a similar style high quality casual jacket I should also look into?

Thanks! I own this guitar - it is a '90s Peavey EVH Standard Wolfgang in Purple Arch Top, made in U.S.A.
I have kept it mostly stock, save for the addition of an FU-Tone brass sustain block.

From Wikipedia:

The original and top-of-the-line model. Made in the USA. It featured an arched (carved) top, body binding, two knobs (volume and tone), three-way pickup toggle switch, two Peavey/EVH-designed humbucker pickups, oil-finished bird's eye maple neck and fingerboard with dual graphite reinforcement rods, ten-degree tilt headstock, and Schaller mini M6 tuners (with either pearloid or ivory colored buttons). Two base versions were offered: a solid basswood model and a solid basswood/maple cap model. (The maple cap was 5/8" before carving.) Each version could come with either a licensed Floyd Rose tremolo with D-Tuna (d-tuner device) or a tune-o-matic bridge and hard tail piece. Solid basswood Wolfgangs were offered in gloss ivory and gloss black; solid basswood/maple cap Wolfgangs were offered in various transparent figured maple finishes (sunburst, amber, red, purple, blue, green, cherryburst, and black cherryburst) as well as vintage gold and seafoam green. Very occasionally a rejected maple top was painted either gloss black or gloss ivory.

I see you have an amp pictured with an acoustic (acoustic-electric?) guitar but do you also have any others? I used to own two of the EVH Wolfgangs but sold one (it was a transparent amber) to a close friend of mine. My other guitar is a Washburn Tanglewood (I don't see many of these) which also happens to be acoustic - electric. My amp = EVH 50 watt EL34 5150 III driving a matching EL34 5150 III dual 12" speaker cabinet. Rock on!
