What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

[lovinthehd]

I live outdoors more than in. I have converted my yard to mostly edibles and native plants. It's managed to invite a lot of critters, from possums and raccoons, squirrels, owls, mice and every type of songbird that frequents our area. Used to be, I would have a war each year with the mockingbirds over my blueberries, the possums with my grapes, and the coons with the pineapples. I have since figured how to somewhat appease/distract the critters to where I get to actually get my fill of the things I grow and can share a specific amount with the other critters too.

Still being curious as to what songbirds there are but had been discouraged in the past of putting feeders up though, because of the squirrels. That is, until I happened across this squirrel buster brand. It's actually comical to watch the squirrels face such a puzzling defeat, and worth it's cost, just for that. It actually works and is built sturdy enough.

Yeah. Have seen those before. Now they come up to me like we're buds and they can be bribed with peanuts.

I bought two PS5 bundles at Gamestop this weekend That was $1700 worth of PS5. My brother was looking for one as well as a friend of mine. Since I found out about it, I went and picked them up for them. They both came and picked them up over the weekend.

Interesting. Sony sent me an email at random one day telling me I was selected to purchase a PS5. I clicked the link when it told me too, and was put into a queue on the playstation site. I was in it 8 min and was able to buy the version with the disc drive and it came with Horizon Forbidden West. Haven't played the first game, but it should be here soon.

Pretty slick machine so far. Seeing as though I'm not a console gamer, my PS4 games I've never played have a new home. Kids have a PS4 now too. I got it used a few years ago with 3 games for less than $250. I feel bad since I've literally never played a single game on it.

They want me to come into the office part time, so I took my home monitor (34"LG) to the office and replaced that one with this:

First one was defective, it kept turning off for a second and back on while I was using it. Amazon replaced it with another yesterday and it is working fine.

I was looking at that too but since I already own the first one in Bluray, I decided just to get the single package instead.

For some reason I never bought the first one on BD. I had it on DVD but that was in the collection when it was stolen and I never replaced it. Now was a good excuse to pick them both up at the same time.

This came in today

Ordered and rec'd from Amazon a Brother P-Touch D600 label printer, from Sleeve City I got 3rd-cut index cards for LP's and set to getting some order to my pair of record racks. I can't possibly label them all because many artists I have only one or two releases. I'll draw the line with 4 or more from a single artist. I had bought three packs of 10 for (US) $7.99 a pack, looks like I'll get about 20 more for now.

I do wish I could have found more of the 1/4" thick ones that a friend gave me, those you see with the 3 letters and squared-off tabs. They're not wood, but very sturdy. The ones I bought aren't sturdy enough for flipping the stack by the tab without creasing it, so I'll have to let people browsing know to be careful. I'm at just a few under 400 LP's for now. Each rack is good for up to about 350. After that, they're too tightly packed to flip through; one has to lift them out to see the album cover. That's why I had my son build a second one.

In Classical Mood!

I remember wanting this set back at the turn of the century but not being able to afford it. Random Farcebook marketplace ad jogged my memory, and after some searching I found someone selling discs 1-48 (all the non-opera ones) for $40 shipping included!

Got a lot of rippin' to do! (and listening! )

Oh lord "the turn of the century".

Now I'm going to tell people I was born in the late 1900's.

That's a sweet find BTW.

Killer album. It had to happen. Billy Gibbons appears on the record but not sure if he plays, or not. Well recorded.

I wish I could afford a new 55" OLED TV. Prices are coming DOWN....lol

I picked a PSB Subsonic 7 used for $200. Its a sealed design sporting a 15" woofer and is replacing my PSB Subsonic 5, a ported sub with a 10" driver. Hard to beat for $200.

The SubSonic 7 was the flagship subwoofer of the PSB line. It measures 17.5 inches wide, 19 inches tall and 17.5 inches deep including 1 inch for feet, a basic cube weighing just a little under 60 pounds. The SubSonic 7 has a single 15-inch driver with a rated frequency range of 22Hz to 150Hz, with a low frequency cutoff of 18Hz at –10dB. The SubSonic 7 is driven by an internal MOSFET power amplifier, which is capable of 330 watts continuous and as much as 1200 watts dynamic peak power, able to deliver as much as 112 dB of sound pressure.

I am told I will have my new WRX on Thursday if they can get the parts I ordered with the car. Guess special order is not what it used to be.
