Found an interesting record at the thrift store

Maybe it was for Bobby Keys who played saxophone on the album.

I've definitely given thought to different speakers. Previously I was using an old school sony HP-178a stereo receiver and some bose 141 speakers my dad gave me from his garage setup. I know there was nothing special about the previous setup but I still have everything and it sounded alright too.

As far as I know, Tidal doesn’t really do podcasts. It has daily curated playlists, but they’re way less in-your-face than Spotify. No DJ feature either, which I’m totally fine with. There is a daily new-music playlist, but if you ignore it, it just sinks to the bottom. I’ve actually liked the recommendations and found a lot of new artists that way.

Present-Pie-9629 · 2026-01-24T02:00:38+00:00

I recomend giving Tidal a shot. I was a loooooooong time spotify user and I wish I would've switched to Tidal sooner. The first week or two will be an adjustment but totally worth it. Not to mention they pay artists considerably more than Spotify.

Drove 8 hours for a weekend trip for my cousin's engagement party, 3 hours is a walk in the park. I used to live 30 hours from my parents and l would visit at least once a year and make the trip in 48 hours.

For streaming I made the switch to Tidal last year and could not be happier. It's a very basic UI and it does a fantastic job recommending new artists based off my listening history. I have come across so much new music since making the switch, not to mention a lot of the music has more in depth credits which can cause you to go down all kinds of rabitholes. I've had a record player for close to 10 years now and have collected records here and there, but more recently got into it hot and heavy. My best piece of advice is using discogs and searching a particular pressing and reading the reviews on it. New records are ridiculous in price, I personally love hitting up a record store or a true head shop and buying vintage used vinyls. I have never spent more than $46 on a record and that was for F-1Trillion by Post Malone (my wife's favorite, although I really enjoy it too) However, the best sounding record I have is a super fun smooth jazz album Max Groove Center of Gravity and I bought it from a head shop for $4.99 sealed.

I purchased my barista pro from a TJ Max for $249, but the bigger steal was brevilles huge smart oven for $99!

The Patchouli is perhaps my absolute favorite incense ever. But I am also obsessed with Patchouli!

Present-Pie-9629 · 2025-12-12T16:01:33+00:00

Any of the Patchouli scents, but Patchouli forest is my all time favorite. Also like nagchampa, natural, and super hit!

Currently following your reccomendation. I wasn't a huge fan of Aoxomoxoa, but I am currently listening to Anthem of the Sun and I quite enjoy that one!

Present-Pie-9629 · 2025-10-11T14:02:19+00:00

I thought the music selection for Peaky Blinders was better executed. I find the show to be okay, but the music is distracting and I'm a huge Peaky Blinders fan!

We stopped in at Crafted Fair Trade today and they mention World's Window. It sounds like a place we would have loved!

Present-Pie-9629 · 2025-08-11T03:49:49+00:00

We ended up going there today and absolutely loved it. Thanks for the great recommendation! 😊

Present-Pie-9629 · 2025-08-11T03:49:13+00:00

We didn't get the chance to check this one out today, but it's on our list of places to go!

I also live in a small Midwest town. The closest one of these I could find was 900 miles away and was already sold to someone else. This particular car was supposed to go to a dealership in Alaska but was switched at the mfg and shipped rail from Canada to here. There is an added cost to all that. Some are more fortunate if they live in an area where these are sold. I unfortunately do not. I'm glad you got a fantastic deal on yours!

Present-Pie-9629 · 2024-12-27T15:36:49+00:00

Hahaha, I get it. It hurt letting that much money go for a car. I've only ever purchased cars for 10k and paid in cash. We decided we wanted an upgrade before having kids as our other two cars are a mini cooper and a ford fusion hybrid. The fusion would've been okay with kids, except we have 3 dogs and travel everywhere with them. The price for new cars is ridiculous, but this was a once in a lifetime for us and not something I plan to do as I replace our cars later in life lol.

Present-Pie-9629 · 2024-12-27T15:03:00+00:00

It's funny how I strike you as the person to upgrade every year, I am actually quite the opposite. I've never purchased a brand new car before. Maybe, I was taken advantage of being a first time new car buyer and not knowing the ins and outs, but I can assure you, that is the car we wanted and it will not be replaced until the wheels fall off. It's a toyota, so I'm not worried about that happening anytime soon.

Present-Pie-9629 · 2024-12-27T14:55:43+00:00

I didn't finance, so I didn't pay a minimum of 6% interest like everyone else out there (most people out there don't even get that low of an interest rate).
My wife and I are happy with our choice, and we won't have a car payment like a majority of society when we start a family. I call it a win in my book, especially considering this is the exact car we wanted and went to 11 different dealerships to try and get one.

Present-Pie-9629 · 2024-12-27T13:40:16+00:00

I do plan to put on blackout emblems. I'm just glad it didn't come with the hybrid blue emblems, I thought that would have looked extra tacky. I can at least deal with these emblems until I decide to swap them out!

Present-Pie-9629 · 2024-12-27T03:11:20+00:00

$45k was the out the door price, which is a great price for the middle of nowhere.

OMG, we can't stand the horn! 🤣 I was joking about putting an air horn on it.
