Thank you Kanye! ?

Good point Steve! We'll just call the Police then, ya? ?

Even funnier, Steve seems to think I paid attention to stuff he claims to have posted first ten years ago! ?

We may have to call the pun Police on ya Bob! ?

You like that, eh? Well, then have it in bed! ?

Can't be! 'Cause that would be too cool. ?

Reminds me of Uncle Bob and his big cLock.

As opposed to crock with an R? ?

Someday the cockroaches will become extinct, leaving the earth to Keith... ?

Dang Kenny! I know my hours are completely whacked, but what are you doing up at 4:20am??! ?

The positive: BackBlaze was awesome! ??

Ooo... Here's a fun association! ?

After having to put my life into storage units back in 2009, when I could finally take some of my music gear out to use it I couldn't find my Waves bundles (Gold, Diamond, Restoration, etc.) and thought they had been stolen. Well, after all of the recent "fun," I either gave away, sent to the dump or brought home to the garage everything I had that was stuffed in my final 10' x 10' storage unit (we're talking crammed floor to ceiling!). I was just going through one of the boxes with family heirlooms in it and guess what I found! Yep. My Waves boxes. Now, back in 2006, I had gone to a Waves demonstration at a local Guitar Center and ended up spending a fortune for the Diamond upgrade (with Restoration) and one of these: Unfortunately, the accelerator ended up in a bad eBay auction (where I learned my lesson about needing a reserve) and only sold for $340 back in 2009! ? Anyway, my Diamond upgrade is still shrink-wrapped and sporting a price on the label of $1,650!!! ? So, I just got off the phone with Waves and found out that, yes! I can sell my licenses (called an "ownership transfer"), but the normal prices for everything I have now totals around $730... Oh, but the Diamond upgrade is currently on sale for $180 less, so everything is now worth $550 max. Yay. ? But wait! It gets even better! I have version 3 so, to upgrade everything to the current version 13 (a requirement to allow me to transfer the ownership), I'd have to pay $125.91 to get their upgrade/renewal service and THEN, if I did transfer ownership, they'll charge a transfer fee equivalent to 5% of the original retail price or $150 max (which is what I would have to pay). This means I need to come up with over $275 BEFORE even trying to sell these - and that's assuming they'll even sell right now (most of my stuff isn't getting any responses). ? Hmm, did I forget to mention that just last Friday my replacement 10 TB hard drive decided to fail? Evidently, I was only provided a 90-day warranty when I bought it last August, so I'm screwed there. I spent most of Friday, all of the weekend and part of Monday (yesterday) restoring the most important files... Maybe it's time to just give everything away and become a Monk... ?

Didn't we just do all of this last year??! ? ??

To be fair, he probably didn't say which day... ? ?

Here's the eBay link should anyone be interested or know someone who is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284626545015 (I'll cut a deal if someone here buys it! ? )

Or, as the tourists around here call it, the William Met! (Yes, it's pronounced the Will Lam It.)

Ooo!!! I know! I'll tell him it's actually a six-string bass tuned to a higher register and comes with a bunch of plug-ins that he doesn't already have! ?

What about burple? (The color of a belch!) ?
