57Gregy Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 After 2 and a half years I finally installed my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 third generation interface on this computer. Looking forward to recording some new music in the next few years. ? 2 1

57Gregy Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 My microwave oven has been acting up. No longer spinning and seems to have a mind of its own as to whether it's going to get hot. So I brought my even older one out of storage and cleaned it up. It was ~ 6 months old and gently used before going into the shed, so it cleaned up well. Works like a charm. Most noticeable difference? The beeper stops beeping when you open the door.

I wish I could have done that with my 2005 Odessey (found a spare in storage that still works). Last Month I needed new brakes, replacement of a door latch that was faulty and causing random signal that the door was open when it was not, replacement of drivers side seat belt receptacle that was saying seat belt was not connected when it was. And I added a rodent repeller (runs 24/7 but will never drain the battery uless the car sat undrivern for a few months or so). That was one pretty penny. Today I picked up the car for new tires, virtually overhauled suspension (the car was making metal on metal creaking sounds when driven) rack and pinion was starting to go, leaky oil pan. I have a philosophy about a fully paid for car. If the repairs in a year exceed what would be equivalent to a new car payment (of a like vehicle) then it's time to dump it and get a new car. I'm a about a grand away from that limit. I have 190k miles on the car and it's suggested to replace the timing belt at 200K. At my current rate of 'scheduled' driving I'll hit 200K in 27 months or so. Needless to say, those two expenses have put a serious dent in any major musical purchases for the next month or two.  Edited February 14, 2023 by Bapu 2
craigb Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 We've got two. The one that came with the house seems like a 600W unit (we had quite a bit of time to everything!). The second is an old desktop one I brought with me that seems like a 1,400W jobbie that is almost too powerful! Oh well...

Wibbles Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 With impeccable timing, Richie Sambora of Van Halen fame was tonight revealed as a jacket potato ... or was it the other way round? https://planetradio.co.uk/planet-rock/news/rock-news/bon-jovi-richie-sambora-jacket-potato/  Â

Had the timing belt replaced twice (due again now) and the transmission rebuilt, locked up brake caliper replaced, but other than that, it's been incredibly reliable. Now over 250,000 miles. It had 53,000 when I bought it from my SIL, the original owner. Â
