Tell me about it. Since they turned 3, the twins have been really… challenging. They are almost 8 now and the emotional rollercoaster is still going.
Three year olds are fucking assholes man.

Right? Does word perfect even exist anymore?
My new boss told me that he’s going to be giving me a 30-day notice sometime in the next few weeks. At least he’s trying to help me find another position within the company and giving me an extra heads up. Still, it sucks.
And at least I’ll get my full 3rd quarter profit sharing which I’ve planned on using to pay off our summer vacation. Hopefully it’s not a jelly of the month club

She doesn't. She only watches one WVU game per year.
A minor thing, but after 13yrs in our current house with absolutely no indication of their presence, our cat has managed to catch 2 mice in the span of 1/2 an hr. I don’t really want to have to put out traps because of the cat and dog, but also don’t want mouse shit in my pantry.

That's tough. I think there may be some anti-rodent treatments that are safe for pets. You will want to do research though.

I literally cannot buy an ART pro VLA II. I've tried 3 times this year. The first one was fucked up and I returned it to the seller for a full refund. The second time, the seller cancelled the order and claimed it sold elsewhere. The third time was just now. After the order went through, the seller messaged me and said I could pay the actual shipping cost outside of eBay once he shipped it, so of course I cancelled the order right away.
Recommend me a compressor because I clearly cannot own this one

That's the first time I've seen something where the USD and CAD price is basically the same off the shelf. 419USD at sweetwater and 429CAD from the local store. Weird!

This batch of hoodlums. They were hanging out in the woods around the house. Mama seems to be pumping them out, so we snatched this lot about a week ago now. Headed to the Humane Society on Wednesday for a once over and to get set up in the system. We'll foster them until somebody wants them, but probably at least 3 more weeks. They aren't really a headache, but they are the beginning of the fostering cats venture that will probably be one.
Luckily the three dogs are cool with them. Mostly just want to watch them. One of our cats seems to be warming up to them, pretty sure because he can eat their scraps. The other two just avoid them entirely, but they are normally off sleeping and avoid us except to demand food, so no real change there.
Top to bottom:
Rory (with face like a Rorschach test),
Winnie (my wife's favorite Sanderson sister in Hocus Pocus)
Lydia (daughter just watched Beetlejuice for the first time)
CC (Short for Cosmic Creepers, the black cat from Bedknobs and Broomsticks)
Rolly (Most immediately personable. He would roll off our laps playing from day one)

Can't...take...the...cuteness...overload!
FMR Audio
RNC
RNLA
RNPre are all great bang for the buck. Be sure to RTFM.
The pres are super quiet and neutral.
All 3 are stereo and will fit side by side in a single rack space.

Pretty sure that is part of the reason they ended up in my house. My wife just couldn't help it.

I didn't realize they were stereo, which is why they weren't on my radar. @peccary has a RNLA
Still in production after 20ish years...
If you want something more transparent, go with the RNC. Something with some character, the RNLA.
The super nice mode on the RNC is great as well. Totally different behavior.
I'm surprised you haven't taken the DIY 500 series plunge yet.
Another cool sleeper option is the DBX 900 series. The 903 modules are 160s without a transformer. The 902 dessers were the best hardware dessers ever made imo. Aphex had some 900 series modules (9000 series) for the big bottom, a comp, and a oral exciter.
USAudio (later Valley People) made some cards too. DBX even had the 411 and 929 noise reduction cards and the 941/942 type 2 stereo encoder and decoder cards.

I've got the RNpre and RNC. Great stuff.
Been wanting to pick up a RNLA for a while, haven't recorded anything in years though so it's been on the backburner.

The RNP is a great wire with gain pre. I don't think there's much that matches it's clarity and snr near its price range.

I have.
The 900 series stuff needs its own rack, right? I've seen a bunch of it but don't have the rack for it. My only comp right now is a 560a
