Hi all,

I don't have a lot of experience setting up banjos, but my Pisgah open back (I play clawhammer) just sounds muddy and bad to my ear without a capo. I'm wondering if there's some harmonic conflicts due to banjo head tightness.

However, capo 2 makes this thing like the perfect sounding instrument to me.

Does anybody have any ideas what may be going on and agree that it might be a banjo head thing? Good idea to tighten the head up? I'm just nervous that my perfect sounding capo 2 profile will be ruined by tightening the head.

Please Sonos, I beg of you to let me add front speaker support and a way to quickly disconnect soundbar and rears so I can effectively use my turntable with my home theatre setup.

I'm seriously debating buying a separate (non-Sonos) amplifier, speakers, and subwoofer with a Port to listen to music. I shouldn't have to have two sets of speakers for TV and music.

- loyal owner of lots of Sonos products.

So I live in a smallish mountain town of about 120,000 thats pretty geographically isolated. I have a pretty good profile and get likes, but quality of matches that I'm looking for is pretty slim pickings and I've already swiped through all girls (like months ago, lol).

Just had a 4th date last night with a girl I really liked and we've been talking for a few weeks. We had a picnic by the river and kissed alot. I thought it went really well, but she sent me a text today saying it didn't feel romantic enough to her. She was classy and said that I'm a good person and all that, but feels hopeless.

Just sucks, because I got rejected and broken up with after seeing a girl after like 8 dates a few months ago and haven't had a good match since then. Not really a numbers game in my town. I just bought a house so don't want to move. Got divorced about 9 months ago and just lonely as a bit of a serial monogamist. Can't focus on work so I thought I'd put this out in the void.

I'm in Montana where rates are a bit above national average. I have a 785 credit score and have shopped around at a few different places. I'm under contract with a long 60 day close on a $435k accepted offer. I plan to put about 12% down.

Best rates I'm seeing is from a local credit union with low closing costs, no PMI (on fixed or ARM), and they don't sell your mortgage.

The best rate I can find for me is 6.35% for a fixed 30 year with no points. I'm not the best haggler so maybe there's something better out there. However, the local credit union offered me a 5.65% 7/1 ARM, which makes a lot of sense to me.

I've got a high risk tolerance and willing to take the bet on 7/1 with a refinance later if things drop. As a 34M single dude, I'm just not sure what my life will look like in 7 years and selling might be a good option depending on what life has in store.. The neighborhood and town that I'm buying are super desirable. It's a close walk/bike to the downtown area in a mountain city, where physical space in the valley is limited. I don't see this home losing value.
