this is the one i am thinking.

So far so good!! I have offed both of my 4x12's. I have a custom Emperor 2x12 coming in soon, A EAE Sending will be here tomorrow! I want to get a Tensor or A CT5 and maybe a fun poly synth to play with. I'm more than set on guitars and after downsizing my pedals all of last year I'm thinking maybe I'll start building my collection back up with ones that make funner sounds

Yeah, gotta sort my MacBook out too.
Logic Pro X is fucking great. It is well worth the time to learn it. I can now make poor sounding demos, but they are sounding less poor as I learn more about mixing, mastering and Logic.

If I have cash that isn't converted to tattoos then I'll get a hardcase for my head, and maybe some Wizards or something for one of my 2x12s.
Get a wizard tattoo.
Fix MacBook Pro/buy something new
Get an SD quarter pounder for my bass
Set up the bass to tune BEAD

Updated goals - I remembered some stuff.

All of this makes me think that another goal of mine is to finally learn how to use Ableton properly for recording other than producing.

I’m definitely on board the Learn More About Logic x train. I’ve been using logic for years but I really need to start getting more out of it. I just put a 1 TB SSD into my iMac that I purchased in May, SSD is a fucking must. So good.

I’ll say I have no desire for new pedals but that’s probably not really true. But I want to spend less on gear this year.

I’ve been far more interested in Synths so that’s something I may start squirreling away some money for but really I should just get a solid MIDI controller and use the synths I have in iOS and Logic/VST.

My only gear goal this year is to get some studio monitors and maybe try a few new pedals. I'm really going to slow it down this year. I've gone a bit nuts for far too long and it's kind of screwing me, soooo, yea. lol.

My overall goal is to get my studio finished. I'll do that next month though, so not a year goal.

I may want to get a stand alone synth as well, but it all depends on my budget.

sell a big pile of gear. order an EGC.

not much else happening gear-wise this year, as I'm essentially pretty happy where i'm at, plus it looks like I'm going to be a Dad in 2019, sooooo

Congrats!

Thanks, bud! Unexpected and I almost certainly too old for this - whoops! - but we're excited! YOUNG ZOUNDS.

Danny Glover was only 41 when Lethal Weapon was released, but Murtaugh was supposed to be 50.

Murtaugh definitely came to mind, and I'm nestled between Glover and Murtaugh, age-wise. Who needs to retire....ever?

in the modern economy, who can afford to retire ever? i figure i'm gonna be working till i can no longer walk or see

Coincidentally that's part of why I'm eschewing more gear to prioritize eliminating my debt. The sooner my debt is gone, the sooner I can pour that money into retirement accounts and index funds and shit.
