My car is a 2009. It still works because I took care of it. I'm not replacing it because it still works. The fact that cars are necessary but a terrible investment should always be front of mind. Would you rather drive new fancy cars or retire 10 years earlier? It's a choice.
My last car I drove 15 years and put 340,000 miles on it. Buy a car brand new and you know the service history. Make a conservative choice in model. Maintain it well. It will last you 15 years.

There are so many effects pedals, it's a rabbit hole many guitarists (including myself) get sucked into and before you know it you have more money in your board than your amp and guitar combined, and you've masked the organic tone of both that you once loved. #pedalboards#effect
Every year or so I strip my board back down, and slowly over time I get tricked into adding new gadgets I'm convinced I need, until once again, there is a giant pile of effects between my guitar and my amp. Then this always happens...

As frustrating as it is for me to say, as a person who does not trust #Pace, I do think he is learning on the job, and he isn't the firing that needs to be made now. I don't trust the #Bears to hire his replacement. It is clear Pace needs to fire #Nagy.

Pace has shown willingness to accept & move on from huge mistakes, which there has been many. I think he needs to do this again and fire Nagy. But - do I trust him to upgrade in his replacement? Not really. He failed miserably at the most important position on the field 3 times.
