Good Morning gang.

I woke up early this morning. Couldn’t sleep. Surfed the Net in anticipation for Black Friday. Found some laptops to do the job until I either read the lack of this or that, and less than desirable reviews. Finding 4K laptops that are reasonable and durable or worthy of the cash output are a difficult challenge. Normally I wouldn’t consider UHD, but 4K TVs are pretty normal now and can be had at under $500. That means more 4K media is just around the corner, and I might as well not limit myself there because it may bite me later with streaming knocking on cable’s door.

I like games like others do, but I’m no longer as passionate about the latest greatest. I leave that to the diehards. However, in my search I ran across $5,000, $7,000, and $11,000 laptops. Then there is all the other add ons to consider. A kid and most adults would have to speak with the Devil to make a purchase like that. Familar with the internal brands and specs, I find it all ridiculously marketed. Twice as fast means twice as expensive? What about half the life span or other other downfalls. Probably, why those things are using names like Demon and Omen. It seems that the gaming world has set crazy prices for the rest of us, and many of the entry level laptops are already outdated. :roll: That means higher prices for current ones too. Maybe it’s stock that I should buy instead of the goods. But, then the stock value would fall. The next crop of computers and phones are here or coming soon with new design changes incorporating different and multiple displays, amongst other things. Battery power will need to be addressed. I’m in no hurry, but I am anxious to upgrade. Maybe, later next year when things level out. I’ve seen a lot of price drops after leading edge purchases, Ah, well. I’m gonna catch up with some Zs. That’s what retirement is about.

For those on the payroll, I don’t want you to think I’m not thinking of your hard day too. Me? Later, I’ll be putting on the toque and clearing last night’s snowfall so the snow grader can pile it up again.

Happy Thursday.

FSB

Good morning. On this day in 1961, JFK was assasinated. Do you remember what you were doing
when you heard the news?

Sad day. Yes, I sure do remember. I was in 6th grade and the nun put on the TV so we could watch the news coverage.

Good morning friends far and wide. Happy Friday!

Gary - thanks for the Black Friday reminder! My laptop is charged and I should be broke by noon. :lol:Oh no. I had to add this. I just got my first Black Friday email from Sweetwater. I might not make it until noon before I go broke. :lol:

:lol: You go, Marky. Glad to be of help. I’m worn out looking. I hate Black Friday ‘cause there’s so much stuff and I can’t make up my mind because I need more time to check things out, or I have things in mind that I can’t find or afford. That’s what happens when you’re old and one already has too much stuff and no room or so I’m told. :lol:
Going to the music store later to pick up much needed humidipaks, but Mrs. FSB is coming too (uh oh, shopping sales), so I won’t get to browse, and maybe my GAS will be manageable. Kinda tough with guitars and drums in the house. The good stuff might be calling me at Long and McQuade’s front door. :wink: :lol:
Happy hunting. :D

Why shucks. I got snookered, Bad enough that Christmas carols played and trees were lit up 2 months early; but, last night I read piles of fliers delivered to my door that, without reading the fine print, they had me thinking today was Black Friday. Sorry about the early warning, Marky. Now we have a whole week to prepare, and then we’ll get to do it all over again. :roll:
Celebrated anyhow and, with Mrs. FSB’s helpful selections, I located a clearance sale suitable new office chair for my butt. Now I get to assemble it. :P

I thought it was next Friday. Anyway, Sweetwater started their Black Friday sales yesterday. They have select items on sale every day for the next week. It changes everyday and I didn't find anything yesterday but today is another day. :D Good morning, everyone. Have fun!

Good Day to ya everyone.

Glad you got to check out the sales, Marky. I went to Long & McQuade because I needed humidipaks. No Black Friday promotions, so that was a
tip off. :lol: I gave Mrs. FSB a tour and some history of LPs, Teles, and Gretsch. Looked at some, and tried a few; but, I decided to go and try some when I have more time by myself. Black Friday might pass me by this year. I grabbed incredible deals for mics, cables, guitar cords, and related for the home studio in the past. :P Decisions, decisions.

Have a good one. :D
- Gary

Good morning, everyone, and happy Sunday!

Gary - I hadn't heard of Long & McQuade so I looked it up. Those are some very nice stores. I know what you mean about going alone. No offense to our families but it's just easier that way. When our minds are focused on the instruments, without interruption, we can do our bonding thing. Have fun!
