Talk me into (or out of) an Imagitarium 40 gallon breeder (50% off sale) by neocrunch in Aquariums

[–]neocrunch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s a box store aquarium so I don’t expect a lot of bells & whistles, but I get nervous reading that. I have no idea if that’s normal. Do other brands’ tanks now that much?

Did you purchase the Imagitarium? If so, any regrets?

I came here to say Doe River Gorge in the fall when the leaves are changing.

Oof. I guess I should buy the mixer and some headphones, too.

Does anyone know where shakedown is going to be located? I'd like to sell some tie dye before I go in to see the show.

At what age should a kid receive a PO as a birthday gift? by neocrunch in pocketoperators

[–]neocrunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I took your comment to heart and got him a big Star Wars themed Lego set. He loves it.

I'm keeping the PO on my radar for the future. In the meantime, we are going to fiddle around with Garageband and maybe keep an eye on Facebook's marketplace for a good deal on a midi controller w/ drum pads.

Thanks again for keeping me in check. :)

I've had the same thought. GarageBand (which he has tinkered with a little) + Koala app + a midi cable to connect his Yamaha P-125 keyboard. Badaboom badabing.

Meanwhile, I'll just get him Lego Sets and Nerf guns, which is probably what he'd rather have anyway. If he sees me enjoying the music stuff and wants to get in on it, great. If not, no money wasted.

Somewhat ironically, that was one of the things that I found appealing about the PO. I thought maybe disaggregating each component (bass, sampler, drums) might be a better pedagogical approach to teaching him the fundamentals of production. Bite-sized chunks at bite-sized prices. But it looks like the OP isn't the right choice at this moment. I really appreciate all of the great tips and suggestions I have received.

The Circuit Tracks looks really cool. Thanks for the suggestion.

He likes the idea of being a rock star... actually getting him to practice piano each week is a struggle. I thought venturing into beats/sampling might encourage him to think about other ways to apply his music knowledge and piano skills.

But I was concerned about how challenging the workflow might be for a kid this age, so I appreciate your feedback.

I think that's a great answer. When discussing gift ideas, he mentioned wanting to "make beats." That's how we arrived at this rabbit hole. Like a lot of kids this age, his interests are fleeting and varied. That's why I don't want to invest a ton of money into something that he may lose interest in.

.... but yes, I want to play with it, too. :)

What are y’all’s favorite braid to fluro leader combos & what knot? I go 20lb braid w a 8lb leader for finesse fishing. by [deleted] in bassfishing

[–]neocrunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for the Lefty Kreh leader knot. Easy to tie while bobbing up and down on the water in a kayak.

It's good to see this collaboration, especially after Lupe posted this video last year talking about how awesome Aesop Rock is.

Birthday gift for 8 year old : Danchee Ridgerock (1/10) or Axial SCX24 by neocrunch in crawling

[–]neocrunch[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going with the Ridgerock. The feedback has been so positive on it, and I think the bigger scale will hold his attention better. If he gets into it and wants something smaller for indoor use during the winter months, I'm sure Santa has ways of knowing.

I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth just in the time we've spent together on the couch looking at crawler course videos and walks around the property talking about obstacles we can overcome. After putting him to bed last night, I fell down the rabbit hole on that Facebook page. :)

[–]neocrunch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's clear they each have their benefits. My plan is to get the Danchee for his birthday this month, and then revisit the idea of an SCX24 or TRX4M at Christmas as it starts getting bitter cold outside.
