Got these today! Heard "Toes" by the Zac Brown Band on the radio a while back and kept thinking about how I had wanted to edit that song for a while now. Not only did I want a lossless copy of the song, but it had several other songs I liked too, some I ain't heard in a while, so I thought, might as well buy the album! :dopey: I recently stumbled upon two Nickelback songs I ain't heard in a while and ended up liking them more than I remembered. I also recall borrowing my cousin's CD for the album Dark Horse and being fairly impressed with what I heard back in the day, but I no longer had the files anymore and I knew my cousin probably wouldn't have the CD either. Like the Zac Brown Band CD, I also wanted a lossless copy of "Burn It To The Ground" for editing since I liked the song, but not the language much like how I felt about "Toes". So I made the decision to get it for myself since it had meaning to me back in the day that will likely resonate with me even more now and because I had a need for it.

Something I found pretty neat was the Zac Brown Band CD came in a nice resealable plastic wrap for the case and the case itself had a kickstand for displaying it. It falls over easily, but it's a neat feature I had never seen before.

Pretty happy to have both of these now and I look forward to listening to them again for the first time in a while. Should be fun making edits of the songs as well.

I finally got my hands on a Game Gear. I've wanted one forever but couldn't find one in this good of condition for under $250, however i saw this one on ebay for just $115 after shipping. This one has fresh capacitors and a modded lcd screen though i'm gonna see about replacing the outer shell since it does have wear and tear on it. I have Sonic 2 coming in the mail so i actually have a game to play on it. Looks good next to its 16-bit brother as well :)

When your kid wants an aquarium for her birthday and you know just what to spend a bucket load on:

1kg of small, medium and large pumice stones.
1kg of dragon stone.
2kg of off-white sand.
6kg of aqua soil.
1 3kg tree root.
3x1x2ft tank.
1 set of ambient car interior USB lights.
2 clip on 5w USB viewing lights.
1kg of purifying substrate rock.
1 4 switch multi plug.
1 3 switch USB hub.
1 500L/hour filter.
1 pack of root tab fertiliser.
2 bottles of super glue.

And that’s just the set up before we even get plants of fish in the thing.

Apologies for the nagged items not being clear. Once the tank is build in the week I’ll take another shot.

What a great father daughter project. I’m so glad this was all her idea. I never would have thought of it otherwise. I’m more of a cat person.
