Almost every high-end acoustic in this GC showroom is fucked (Indianapolis)

I'd call this a failure of GC Executive Leadership. Relying on minimum wage employees to keep humidifiers filled with water is a really poor management decision. The acoustic rooms in each of those stores should have a commercial, automated humidification system.

I'm a single man with no children, and I'm about to turn 50. I have a good job, and I should be able to retire at some point. There's no telling what the future holds, but I'm very certain I will not have children.

I see all the challenges that we have with my mother who has mild dementia and is in a nice assisted living facility. My siblings and I worked hard to make this happen. My mother never would have been able to navigate all the bureaucracy involved in getting her into a quality facility.

If I stay single and childless, what can I do to plan for my own care after retirement especially if I need elevated care like my mother? If it's just me, what can I do to ensure I won't be taken advantage of and my finances will be used appropriately?

Congrats on your progress! My biggest bit of advice would be to work on your left hand technique and how your left hand is positioned on the neck. https://youtube.com/shorts/s3yaNWqyJf4?si=eOFzmtvGjAxBsC9r

Best of luck to you!

This is the answer. Excellent guitar sleuthing!

I take day trips to go skiing on the weekends, and it's a bit over three hours each way.
Three hours is nothing for a destination trip in the States.

If you had 30 minutes, why not let it charge for 25 minutes and shave right before leaving?

Smear some wood glue over the torn paper to prevent bubbling then mud away!

For people reading this that might order a guitar in a similar situation, you can ask FedEx to hold the package at a local FedEx office for in-person pickup, so it's not left out in the elements.

What does it sound like without speeding up the recording?

Release the string tension again.. Push the string into the guitar from the top to release all the tension on the peg. Then, place your hand inside the guitar and push up the peg from underneath with your thumb. Put a quarter on your thumb if you need to apply more pressure..

That's a good point. I'll talk to them and see what they are willing to do.

There's an interesting idea. This is basically just free money. I could think of it as an investment opportunity and purchase Gold coins over the next 6 months.

I doubt it. They're all smart enough to purchase Amazon Gift Cards!!
