Passed out on the couch, and I woke up with painted toenails, painted fingernails and a child's mermaid dress put on my neck.

Sleeping around children is a fool's errand. I literally have rainbow toes now.

Don't blame the kids.....lol

I have never tried, but a VPN with a location set to Canada (Toronto) should guarantee that the TSN and Sportsnet apps work.

Could you recommend a VPN I could add to my Firestick?

Does anyone here watch the Leafs through either of those Apps? Works well?
 
I finally finished off with the sound absorbing acoustic panels in my home recording studio. The top and bottom pics are bass traps and panels; the middle pic is the part of the ceiling.

Next to the laptop are two hardware compressors, a Lindell EQ, and a Warm Audio preamp. Of course all my keyboards - except for the M-Audio controller - are in another room which I'll post later.

Just did some quick research, the VPN I use (PIA) is not natively compatible with the Firestick. Appears NordVPN and ExpressVPN are installable from the Amazon Store, but I have no experience with either so cannot speak to their functionality. Sorry.

Nice setup!!

I just listen to my vinyl collection. I am the consumer, not the creator.

Nord, Express, Surfshark. I’ve tried them all and they all work well for this purpose

I could not set up a Surfshark account. Tried on the Firestick, Phone, Laptop and received errors every time.
Was very frustrated, tried many times over a few days.

Have used both to watch games, they’re fine. Take a Chromecast if you have one to cast to tv, short of a little bit of occasional buffering you’d never know you weren’t just watching from a cable service.

I think their having a BF sale on a couple of models today. I kind of like the tone that Rhett Schull gets with his P90 equipped Novo.

They have more guitars than they usually do on the "currently available" page, doesn't look like any sale prices though. Not surprising, I wouldn't expect them to have any BF sales.

Rhett Shull's vids are where I first heard of Novo, I think that was a Serus J that was his first one and yes, it has P09's and sounds amazing. Then again, most youtube guitar vids sound great, probably the amp setups have a ton to do with it, not sure. But that's a very interesing guitar as well, would be my second choice after the Voltur, maybe I'll get both, who knows. ;)

I did take advantage of BF to sign up for a year of True Fire guitar, hoping to get some inspiration from there to practice. Hard to find sort through everything to find stuff suitable for me though, seems like most of the soloing lessons are intermediate to advanced, I'm more in the late beginner to intermediate stage. I know I'll find lots there for me too, it'll just take time to find it.

Damn man, you're killing me with those pics. I love living here, but I miss the beers that are available back in TO. While we do have import/craft beers here the taxes are so high (to protect the major two breweries and their mediocre products: Singha, Leo, Chang) at up to 400 baht for a pint - $17 Can. - ain't going to happen when the others are $5/6 a pint.

Haha! I can relate dude. I visited my brother in Cyprus this summer and the first thing I missed was the beers from here.

My bro kept buying my Carlsbergs and I kept refusing them. :laugh:

They were very good.

They also had a deal there for 2 pounds of wings and a pitcher for $47.

We never got that but it's crazy how much the prices have increased everywhere post Covid.

I grew up in Niagara eating original Buffalo wings and you could always find a 5 cent wing special.
I remember the outrage when that was bumped to 25 cents lol.

Wings are stupid expensive (everything really) now but I'm still hooked.
