Latest Purchase...Non-percussion

I haven't purchased a tablet since 2013 since most places I've worked for have provided one to me. Last year I picked up an Amazon Fire HD 10 which was just OK. Well, finally, I decided to bite the bullet and get a proper one for my-own-self.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite in "Angora Blue". I don't need cellular so this is precisely what I wanted. 64GB storage and 4GB RAM. The display (2000x1200) is nice and sharp and the couple of games that I play run very smoothly. It also came with some kind of voodoo pen that I probably won't use very often as I cannot even draw a straight line.

I also picked out a snazzy Pleather case for it.

As always, thanks for looking.
 
Very pricey project - Conversion from swamp cooler to central AC, needed to get a new heating unit as it was as old as the house.

Carrier furnace and AC unit upgraded to a 40 gal power vented water heater, and 220 electric panel to handle it all and then some.

A pulling harness. For tires now. For a pulk sled when snow comes.
As in a training tire harness? As in, training for when you pull your winter sled up the mountain and perform an amazing solo?

I'm not sure how much it's percussion or not, but finally I got a decent beginner handpan. Since it was an impulse buy, I was aiming low and ordered and returned a few on Amazon, and finally bought the cheapest one and got lucky. It has a nice long sound, and was in tune. It had zero reviews. I was planning to write one praising its price, but by then they almost doubled it. That just shows how arbitrarily they price these. All I ordered came with the same exact box and accessories, but had various silly nonsense names. Quality was random, even between the same product in two colors, so free returns are a must. Very happy with it though, I enjoy discovering the sounds it can make and just play randomly.

A trip to Romania and Poland last week. Two incredible countries to visit.
Went to Dracula's Castle in Bran, Transylvania and heard . . . no lie . . . a percussion ensemble from Bucharest!
