    How often do you wash your car or take it to the car wash?

    My wife got on my case last week because she says I wash my car "Too damn much". LOL I like to keep my cars clean, and my windows nice and clear. Hate rain spots. Hate dirt on my cars. I let the interior go a few weeks before I vacuum it out, but I wash my Toyota Camry pretty much every week...

    Car Dash Camera - Do you use one?

    DO you use a Car Dash Camera when you drive? I highly recommend using one. On my Camry, I have one from Amazon that records great video, and the sound quality is okay. It's a little too sensitive. My Traverse has one of those Camera Rear View Mirrors installed over the mirror. I bought it back...

    What business expenditures/equipment purchases do you plan for 2024

    I did an inventory of everything I have when I loaded my car for my last event. I do not see any new purchases EXCEPT New Wireless up lights to replace all of the wired lights that I am about to sell on facebook market place/eBay in the next week or so. I am not in a hurry, and I figure I need...

    Loud Speaker Power Consumption/Output tech question

    If instead of using a battery powered speaker that is only rated at say 150 watts to 300 watts continuous, I chose to use a regular Alto TS or EV ZLX , or Yamaha DBR, QSC K speaker for example. If I used one of these speakers in conjunction with a portable power station such as a Jackery or...

    Do you ever look at Reverb.com for DJ Gear?

    I am going to be selling some items starting in a couple of weeks. I noticed that Reverb.com is advertising only a 5% fee for selling on there. That is lower than eBay, and the same as facebook market place. I am curious if Reverb.com get's a lot of traffic from people for DJ gear or if it's...

    Do you have a land line phone at your home?

    We made the decision just two days ago to get rid of our land line phone. We are finally tired of paying the $74 a month to have one. The only reason we had it in the past was because my wife's grand mother lived alone and we kept a land line so she could call out house if she needed help, or...

    I bought a new Table Top Facade

    This one is Plexi Glass in a White Frame Powder Coated or perhaps White painted wood frame. It's not a metal frame. The hinges are nice and sturdy. This is a real nice looking facade. I wanted one that would fit a 5 foot table perfectly. My other table top facades all fit 4', 6' and I still...

    Did you spend more money in 2023 than in 2022 on DJ Equipment/Gear?

    Let me know in the Poll! I think this is going to be a very low equipment expense year for me, BUT I am starting to have minor things break on me that I could replace, or perhaps just do without and save the money. For example, I just had a Folding Laptop Stand give out on me. Luckily while I...
