Sometime over the last week or so, I joined the TubeNet 10k+ Post Club. :!:

Leon Redbone, dead. He was 69 years old. I thought he had a cool vibe...

Got new tires on my car today. When I got home, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen.

Today was a very expensive day.

I paid about $200 for the phone that broke. The replacement cost around the same. I just look on Amazon for unlocked phones, and you can usually find something very good for $200 or so. Sometimes they are "international versions," which doesn't mean a whole lot. In my experience, the only differences are
* Out of the box, default language is not English (last time it was in Thai)
* 2x SIM card slots
* "no warranty" (not like I use the warranty anyway)

Not the most brand new model, and not the highest high end specs. But for something that easily breaks and (maybe?) has planned obsolescence... why bother to pay more?

AT&T gave me an "upgrade" option of paying $xx/month for 30 months to replace my phone. The low end was around $14/month... times 30 months is almost double what I paid. That's a heck of an interest rate to split the payments over 30 months. :shock:

Can I please have an update on what a "wisdome" is? Is a wisdome sort of like a Wiz Dome, a dome that a wizard lives in?

Last night I saw a The Buddy Rich Show on PBS. It was said to have been a pilot filmed in 1982 that was never picked up. Woody Herman, Mel Torme and Ray Charles showed up. That was something!!

I just discovered the Singapore Slingers out of Dallas.

The instrumentation and arrangements I find intriguing.

Yes. I really can't buy anything and the "Offsite Deals and Ads" frequently have something fun to look at. Recently, there was an old Austrian horn posted which looked really.... old and Austrian.

Certainly much more interesting than the sources from which they're drawn. I check the Off-Site section more than For-Sale, but tuba for tuba, For-Sale is certainly more entertaining fare than Ebay or Craigslist. And then there's the always entertaining "Bb or Eb" guessing contests, which don't happen so much in For-Sale.

You're not the only one.
Heck, you're the guy that puts most of the stuff there! Thanks for the effort. I haven't bought or sold because of your actions but it can be entertaining to see all of the stuff.

I just finished putting a new roof on our house (with the help of friends and family). That is all. Shower time.
