C'mon. you know you have been peeking at the catalogs in your bathroom library. What are you contemplating purchasing when the $300-600 check comes in the mail?
I am thinking of saving up and getting a really nice piece of gear. EG tax return money+stimulus check+a little save up money could get me in the neighborhood of an 1176 or a Supre.
Or I might just get another Stingray. Maybe one of last years Blue Dawns.
Or I might get me another mic or 2.
But I will probably just buy a new soldering iron, some cases, a panavise, and a whole lot of pieces and parts. I got some synth chips lying around and I am gonna make a modular from scratch someday.

Ditto, although I've done the balance-transfer dance to the point where all my interest rates are pretty good. But I gots ta pay that stuff down.

um, i happened to turn on my local news tonight and they had a very special and certainly objective "consumer alert" about wal-mart having a store-wide sale soon....

takes two to tango,
the dems and the republicans are both all falling over themselves to dig us deeper in debt.
But lets not drag this topic down in politics. I could go on all night. Really.
