an external android auto/carplay screen is not a bad idea
I drive an older car with with no screen in it (unless you count the gas gauge which is a tiny LCD panel), and given I've been using Garmin GPSes for almost 20 years, that's the only screen I use in the car.
If I weren't using a Garmin DriveSmart 66 for navigation however, the alternative is actually not a bad idea at all...
I've been to a good number of restaurants over the years, but I am one of those people who sincerely believes eating out was better in the '90s. Early-to-mid '90s, specifically.
I used to think this was all in my head, thinking yeah, I'm older now, so of course I'll say eating out was better in the past. I don't think that way anymore.
Part of the reason I'm thinking of getting a Telecaster again is because it's a guitar that agrees with me. I can work with a Tele even if it has really ratty sounding pickups in it.
But then there's the Jackson Monarkh. I actually have played one of these and do genuinely like the guitar, but can't get one. Why?
Near-end-of-year guitar update.
No new guitars acquired - yet. I am entertaining the idea of a new Telecaster.
The 512GB USB stick can be had for under 40 bucks now, which I like. I'm waiting for it to dive below $30...
...but I'm still waiting for the 1TB USB stick to drop below $50. Has it?
