Damn, you got me curious with guitar prices so I just looked at the price of the Fender Performer I bought in '87 (~$400). Sold in it in '90 because I thought it was useless. Those things are worth $4000 now!

Look at that thing....the Eighties were absolutely wilding for Fender :laugh:

Always gotta hang onto those quirky short production ones, you just never know...

I picked up a couple on Prime Day. Gave one to my daughter, she loves it, haven't used the other yet.
Are you saying you pay for a cinema app and then don't pay for all the other streaming services?
Cinema is free. Install it. It has everything. The quality of the streams vary. Can be laggy or sparse. A Real Debrid account is a premium server database that you can use on a lot of apps such as cinema or Kodi. Costs something like 3 or 4 bucks a month. Google it and you will find it and then subscribe. Quality of streams improve in a huge way.
The setup is easy. Go to settings on cinema and then find accounts. You will see real debrid and can enter info.

Sorry for hijacking.
Your story reminds me of when i looked up my first (and only ) electric guitar. Bought it for 300 in 1990.The hardware was worth a bit more, but they did not charge more because it was handmade by some unknown dude named " Strandberg" .
Mailed the Strandberg company about a year ago. Strandberg himself answered that it in deed was he who made it. He was happy to see it still was alive and used (ok not so much anymore , but still). Realy nice dude.

Too funny, I continually get mislabeled as Runman, so I’ve been thinking changing the Goggins avatar to something else, maybe a couch potato?

I'm going to church on Sunday with this sweet old lady that lives down the street. She's always baking me stuff and our dogs are friends so why not. I'm a little weary though because the last time I went to church.... the statues started crying blood, I started to burn up, smoke was coming from my hands, people were running around on fire....

yeah, that's not good.

Going to the Lego Discovery Center with my kid.

I should note that when I was a kid, I was obsessed with Legos, and as anyone that has read my posts can attest, I am an adult but only in the ailments section, not the maturity section.

RIP my wallet

Ya, me too, loved Lego.

Hope your local one is better then the T.O. one. Granted its been some years since I've been there, I'd bet 5 at least since the kids were of the age they'd enjoy it, but didn't think it was that good.

Hockey schedules are out, at least the practices. Both have a standing Wednesday practice, nowhere near each other, that involve leaving work early and driving in the god awful worst of rush hour. No idea how to do it. Gonna be leaving work at 3 on Wednesdays all year looks like. Gonna need some carpooling in there too.

How did you know I was watching? Lol
Great football game.

every football fan I know was watching! Colorado looks good and Hunter could have had another pick and a touch down if he didn't drop those

Fun game, except for the Deion haters.

the man knows how to coach! always entertaining, he might be the real deal at the college level it seems.
