    Move it in to whatever room is "hers," put a fire stick on it, and say if she ever needs to just get away, she can use it for yoga, or whatever.

    Then buy a new one. Repeat this cycle as often as desired.

    Had a bit of luck go my way today. A couple of weeks ago, I bought a fairly low end used analog to digital USB recording interface and a pair of studio monitors for $80 off of a guy selling them on the facebooks. He claimed something was wrong with one of the speakers, but I was most interested in the interface since a new one run for more than he was asking for all of it.

    I tried it all out when I got home. The jury is still out on the speakers, but I couldn't tell a difference in the output between the two in a quick test. I had a bit of trouble getting the interface to work, so I went to the company's (Presonus) to download some drivers. While there, I looked at the product page and got a little bummed when I saw it was originally bundled with a $100 virtual studio software. I had asked the guy if he had used the interface with a PC (his ad made it sound like he had not), and I realized that my great deal was in jeopardy of becoming a big mistake. Before I could worry over it too much, I got busy with some webcast hardware/software I was dealing with for the church and didn't think about it that much.

    Fast forward to today, and I have a little time on my hands and didnt feel like doing any outfoorsy stuff. I decided to try out the USB interface again and download a trial/free version of the software from the company that made it. To download the demo version I needed to make an account with them. After doing so, it asked if I wanted to register any products, and I decided to try registering my device for funsies. After doing so, it turned out the d3vic3 had never been registered, and all of the software was available to download with no problems. I was slightly thrilled after being bummed thinking I might have been better off buying new just to get the bundled software. Turns out, I paid $80 for an interface, $100 software, and two powered speakers that I'll eventually find a use for. I was pretty happy.

    Now, if I could just figure out how.to make the software work.

    Before we moved, we were still using the first set my wife and I bought when we married. Other than the door on the dryer popping open occasionally in a cycle, both were chugging along fine at the 20 year mark.

    GarageBand.
    I bought Logic Pro X a couple months ago and it’s pretty cool. Easy to use, just so many tools it’s overwhelming.
    Wait, you said PC? Ugh

    I'll have to find the information. We bought the house new 16 years ago and it has an asphalt shingle roof. My guess is it's a 20 year.

    If they're dimensional 20-25 years. 3 tab aren't as thick so they won't last as long.

    We've got one of the Shark brand that we got at Target about a year ago. I thought it was stupid at the time, but it's nice to have. We can schedule it to run during the day when we are gone. We've also got it linked up with our Echos so we can start/stop its with voice control.

    I've changed brands of pants and underwear looking for more ball room. I have found that Duluth bullpen are good for just enough room, and perfect support

    You’ll be fine. Just drink some of your room temperature wine.

    This came with Presonus Studio One Artist. I recorded a bit of stuff using my guitar. I have an occasional popping sound I need to track down, and the software does so much I was a bit overwhelmed. I'm pretty happy though. I get how the basic interface works, and it seems pretty powerful.

    The iMac at church I have to deal with is so different from the ones I used to use 25 years ago that I can't even hardly find a program when I need it, and another guy and I still don't know how we managed to get the display out settings.to how we need them. Because of that, we are also not unplugging anything.
