What did or didn't you miss out on over the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend?

Grumpy Old Man alert

I find this a bit of a joke TBH, to me if I see 50% off, i just think it was overpriced to begin with.

Bought some more bulbs :light_bulb:.

Some camassia and one amaryllis. I am not putting up Christmas decorations this year , but will have masses of flowers such as hyacinths ,daffodil and amaryllis.

In addition I will buy some lilies to add scent to the room

This time of year bulb firms are selling off their surplus stock

Everything … I was swapping over / migrating computers and lost too much time to file management. I could do with some new walking boots.

A friend a gave his wife a lady shave for Christmas, his marraige didn’t last much longer after that. However the look on her face when she openned it haunts me to this day.

I also know what my mother would have done to my father if he’d have given a present like that!

Trying to figure out what that is. Looks like the sort of thing I could store my cryogenically frozen head in.

An air conditioned cabinet for a hifi ethernet router?

I bought a few hi res downloads from eClassical at a 50% discount. They discounted all downloads for the Black Friday weekend.

As they were priced in USD, the cost in GBP looked even lower when it appeared in my card statement.

Lol. I hope that no one tries to use my new 3D filament printer cabinet for their hifi router or frozen head.

Planned or possible audio-related projects

  • Plate amplifier adapters for REL R-218 Subwoofers (original amps burned up. I bought B.K. Electronics TC-300 plate amps as a replacement/upgrade, but they’re slightly larger than the original amps, hence the requirement for adapter rings).
  • Perhaps some high-end, 3D printed micro speakers for my computer audio system (if I wrap my head around speaker design & measurement).

I bought my wife a watch she has had her eye on with BF 15% off. It was delivered very promptly along with a further offer of 40% off everything. :enraged_face:.

That was like a red rag to a bull, so used their free returns service and reordered it. Well it’s the principle of it all.
