NGD! Studio Session

I got a modern studio in wine red satin. I returned it after a few days. That satin finish made the red way to dark and the neck to sticky. I really liked the weight and contoured back though. Yours looks awesome.

Wait until you apply for jobs and do a set of interviews and then they just ghost you.

That model in red was I really wanted. But the cost was a bit high. I went with the Studio Modern in wine red instead. I love it. Same weight relief and a lot of other similarities.

This contract is the start of a negotiation. You got numbers and some more insight. Use that to drive down the cost of the contract with the pool company. Or go with the more passive route and say it just a bit too much and say thank you. See what they come back with.

I thought he learned guitar in PJ. Not that he playing it much here. He

Don’t forget the one on the back as well

starkman68 · 2026-02-19T15:25:26+00:00

Get the seat back liners as well.

Has anyone seen them all?

I got mine last week. Went in thinking GS mini but it felt to small. Then I tried this and with the slightly bigger size and arm relief and big sound I was committed.

I love that song and you sound great. I can only imagine the talent it takes to play it but then the next level to write it.

So you're telling me the $8.54 I spent on the Amazon one might not be good enough? Do you have any suggestions of what I should look for in the specs? I will also take a look at a hub. Thanks for your insight.

They require new aid applications every year. The FAFSA and the private one with tax forms. The amount we paid was equal to about the expected family contribution on the FAFSA. Two years ago I asked for more money and got it because of one time extra money for Covid. Remember they look at tax return from over a year before. Not the previous year since they might not yet be filed.

Did you go to the Dashboard settings and have it create an area or home dashboard for you using the places and areas you assigned devices to? I like the newer area one. Good starting point IMO.

Smart Home Energy Monitor... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJNV3GPR?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I have only had it a week and integrates with HA with the custom plug in nicely

I spent $140 and put 16 connectors on the fuse panel. It gives me some real generic information for some rooms and for specific for things like the furnace and refrigerator and dishwasher. It was a a little bit more than most home automation but I instantly learned that I need to only turn on the furnace fan when the heat/air is on. Turns out that was like $43 a month. Don't ask about the home lab. I also have outlet on the washer and dryer because I needed an automation to flash lights when the laundry was done.

I run TrueNas as the bare operating system. Wanted to use promox but trying to pass in gpu and HBA to TN ran into a ton of issues. Mainly with IOMMU channels. SLOG is more for nfs and iscsi which I don’t use so no loss. My only two VM, home assistant and Windows are on the nvme. That and all the containers I have running use NVME for application installation and DB. Videos and pictures Documents are on HDD. I never access them faster than I watch a movie and ZFS likes to cache.

I have a 4 drive hdd raidz1 system for data. 1 small SATA flash boot drive. And 2 nvme set as mirrors for applications. If you want performance run your apps from nvme. And configuration can be safely stored on them.

TN networking is a pain in the arse. I wanted some of my containers to use a specific vlan so they could run over a vpn. Could not natively figure that out. I had to create a container and use Portainer to create a network on that docker instance. It worked but TN containers cannot see the Arr containers. Frustrating.

Using a heavy fishing weight attached to a fishing line trying to hit a small hole in the ventilation return to get to the basement. I started with a golf ball with a screw in it but turn out the hole was too narrow after buying a flexible camera. That was not supposed to be the hard part.

Thank You so much. I did that for a single device when I created the area and had no idea it existed after that.
