To be fair, if I had a cat I would probably buy that outfit sober...

I mean, how can you go wrong for 12 bucks?

Touge Run seems to have gone out of business. I'm 50/50 on ebay lips, but it seems there aren't a lot of exterior products for NB2s or maybe I'm missing something. OEM accessory parts (skirts, mud guards, etc) all seem hard to find (in good quality).

Has anyone ordered a trunk from Treasure Coast? I've always wanted a ducktail for the NB and I could use a new trunk anyway. I've read their hardtops are 50/50 - Brand New Lightweight Fiberglass Ducktail Trunk for NB '99 - '05 Miata!
You have $200-ish you want to spend on some decent computer speakers. Any reason not to go with these? This will just be for listening to music when working from home, dicking around on the computer, or jamming along with the guitar.......in other words, doesn't need to be reference quality but sound good and get decently loud.

No desire for the BlueTooth version since I've read, any BT source it detects it automatically overrides whatever input you have going and there is no setting or anything else you can change to keep it from doing so.

Alesis Elevate 5 MKII Powered Desktop Studio Speakers | Musician's Friend
Alesis is a pretty well-known brand in the broadcast and recording industry, and so I was a tad leery of the low price as compared to what I usually pay for Presonus / Genelec / etc.
Totally worth it. While not quite as loud at full-tilt-boogie, for near-field use these suckers are every bit as good as the bigger versions which I've installed in numerous studios over the years. They're large enough that they're not gonna fit comfortably onto a normal-sized desk, but I picked up a set of these floor stands to go with them:
Couldn't be happier with this setup. It's a huge improvement over any of those 2.1 systems I've ever heard before.
^Excellent, thanks Joe, I was hoping you were going to chime in. I did buy a decently large desk for the home office, 60"x29", but you can see even with the monitor mount the two 27s take a up a bit of room. Sorry for the hasty edit, I know longer have Photoshop/Illustrator at the current gig, I realized the pic I took last night after getting the desk and chair setup had some stuff showing that probably shouldn't be posted publicly.
Looks like those Alesis are backordered at Musicians Friend, thoughts on these?

It's kind of silly how cheap high-quality studio monitors have gotten over the past decade. You used to have to shell out a thousand bucks to Genelec for this sort of gear.
EDIT: The E5s are the smaller units, the E8s are next to them:

Is anybody else using the Android app Skimmer Scanner for hunting out gas station fuel pump credit card skimmers?
No, but that is interesting. Looks like they're pulling known devices.
I hear about them a lot in my area. Most of the pumps have security tape on them from when they were last serviced.

I've been making pens all weekend. Trying to catch up on promises I've made over the past months. Anyway, I have discovered the hard way that I have made myself allergic to some of the semi-exotic woods used in pen making. Specifically Indian rosewood.
It smells so nice to turn, and I've had the dust collection system (2 micron) going the whole time. Apparently, that's not enough, as I feel like my lungs are going to explode, and my nose will not stop running.
