There, I fixed it...

I keep my Fire tablet in the kitchen, but the volume level was just too low even on maximum. Forget about cooking or washing dishes and listening to it - it was inaudible.   The solution? A cheap Samsung soundbar connected via Bluetooth. It was a Goodwill Outlet find with no subwoofer, no power supply and missing a decorative plate on the end. I have power supplies, don’t need the sub, and it actually sits on the counter better without that plate - win win win. And, like the tablet, if anything happens to it - who cares?

So I enjoyed what appears to be FLW stained glass magnet. S oundbar from Goodwill is nice too.

Now what in the the world is in the ziplock baggie that is capable of clinging to your fridge?

I’ve got a full set of FLW magnets. I got those from my sister with a big FLW book that she gave me - she knows my interests.

I’ve got a fancier soundbar, also from Goodwill, but that one doesn’t power on. It clicks, but never fires up. The only website that showed troubleshooting of that one with the same problem had other issues with it that weren’t a problem on mine (bad cap and burnt circuit board - my cap was fine and it the board wasn’t toasted). I hate to toss it, but since I don’t know how to fix it it’ll have to go. I might just take out the guts and convert it into a simple Bluetooth speaker instead. I have a great sounding Yamaha currently hooked up to my TV so I’m not really missing anything. The Yamaha is so good that I haven’t bothered to reconnect the stereo. The components are all there, it’s just a matter of spending a few hours and doing the wiring.

The item in the bag is a partially decomposed leaf that now has a lace-like appearance. I’ll see if I can post a better pic.

Nice , though maybe an under cabinet mount would be good to keep it out of the way?

I was considering that, but I still need to reach the buttons on the end. Where it stands note doesn’t get in the way and I can still open the cupboards. It would be easy to put it on the shelf on the other side of the fridge, but I threw it where it is because I was testing it out and had ready access to power. BT makes it easy to put anywhere nearby.

Ah, it looked vaguely like something organic that had died.

Soundbar sounds like a cracked board or other terminal failure unless you can find somewhere its grounding or a hidden fuse that blew.

My novelty purchase of the FLW stained glass coloring book (transluscent plastic) is growing increasingly close to becoming a collage papering over filtering the light from a large window. I give it another week of only leaving the house for essential purposes.
