I had today off, so I went to Stevie Coyle's Mighty Fine Guitars in Lafayette and played some elite guitars.
I fell in love with the guitar shown in the photo (sorry the photo did not work). It is a Lowden, made in Ireland. I have always had a soft spot for Lowden guitars.They are playable, have good intonation, and display a rich, warm tone.
But of course, there is little I need less than a $6500 acoustic guitar. I had my fun and headed home.
Do you have a hobby that could get expensive if you let it?
Can you guess what I treated myself to on the way home? Winners will earn $5000 each if Republicans win the House and the Senate and the San Francisco Giants with the 2026 World Series.

Yes, cycling is expensive, actually. Luckily, because of Project Hero, I don't have to put much of my own money into my bikes. They take care of parts and such.

@TheHorse - It's a non-profit. My gravel bike is actually their bike, so they do all the maintenance and parts. However, since I'm so involved, they will fix my mountain bike and supply parts for that, even though that's my bike and they don't really have to.

Playing the piano or playing the drums is a hobby that I could try on my spare time.
