Every year for Christmas, I buy something to me from me. It's usually not much, just something that I'd been thinking about, but never seemed to get around to buying it for myself.
I have a very old pair of Genesis II speakers, circa mid 1970s, that has seen better days. The woofers, etc have no holes or anything and are still in good shape, but the grills have been snagged to the ends of the earth and back, mostly because of Ms. Pepe, but then Mollipop and Tabby helped them along. I've always wanted to redo the grills.
I ordered the material today to do the grills over. And then, just because, I found two GENESIS speaker emblems on eBay and immediately scarfed them, too. I have no idea what happened to my original emblems; they might be in a junk box in the basement, but I wouldn't even know where to begin to look.
So, for about $60, my speakers will, once again, look half-decent....until Molli decides to scratch them again.
These speakers are awesome (to me) and they've been through a lot. Not just from me, but also from our son. He, in fact, keeps asking me if he can have them and I keep saying, "You want speakers, sweet cheeks? You buy speakers! Can't have mine!" He listens to a lot of easier music these days. These speakers were brought up on classic rock!
I'm excited!
Do you buy something just for yourself for Christmas? It doesn't have to cost a small fortune, just something you've been wanting or thinking about?
