I have 3 daughters , C2 . 1 likes classical music and playin' her new yamaha grand piano. The other 2 are artists and are satisfied with their graphics tablets.
I would never train them to "burn" through money , this new generation is about to have quite a wakeup call ... SOON! I taught my kids to build their own computers , create their own entertainment . The gift of knowledge far exceeds anything monetary I could ever give them. One kid even helps me "make da ampz" , listens to them ... tells me whether they "suck" or have the "thumbs up"... way cool.
PS - the oldest daughter is smarter than me (the classical fan) , she was accepted to Harvard .. full tuition. Turned it down for maryville college in tenn.

Hey OS - Congratulations on your amps - I'm glad you are happy with them. I hope I get a chance to build a couple later this year. I gotta wait until 17 (18 in June) GD is outta here - then I might be able to save up a bit of building money to play with. Until then - ain't no wayyyyyyyy - 17 Y/O females BURN through $$$$$. BUT she is no match for NaNa - NaNa is a seasoned pro - the two of them combined - heck I'm lucky I can afford my decaf!!
BTW - according to the threads I think that Terry O. and I might be the only sober ones around at the moment.
I'm thinking of building an amp this next year and I'm still looking around, although I think I know what I want to build. However, I have a buffered line stage I designed that I need to complete first.
As for kids and grandkids they are costly. My youngest son is still at home (15 years old), but I've been a parent for so long that I can't remember when I wasn't.
Sober? Yes, ...unfortunately
Best Regards,
Terry
By "next year" I should have 26 to choose from (AX to ZX)...

The Hoh Rainforest (230+ inches of rain/year) is about a couple of miles from where my Dad grew up. No roads of any sort in those days, you paddled up the river in a dugout to the Quinault Indian Reservation and then went from there. My Dad's school had 14 kids in 12 grades and 8 were from the same family!
Another spot that's staggering, as far as scenery, is Hurricane Ridge near Pt. Angeles. Good hiking and a lot to see (It's part of the Olympic National Forest).

Definitely, these days i feel fortunate to be a half-oldfashioned fart and part of the baby boomer crowd.
Yes, I love that commercial. Or should I say I used to love it. I watch a lot of sports so I get to see it many times a day. Too bad, it's a classic.
Wuss...
I couldn't wait to get up this morning and brew my first pot of coffee!
Best Regards,

Due to the time difference, I'm already on my second.
My blood/coffee content is usually quite a bit higher than my blood/alcohol content.
