Who is Lady Amelia you ask?
A young lady with class and style off course.

I am on my last year now for this cycle and the cost of these models have come down significantly. I do get all the accessories for these each time as well. Including a dehumidifier kit with ultra violet rays for the aids. I put them in the box every nite for that to work and remove moisture and bacteria.
I will be looking at the new models next spring.
Phonak Marvel is available in BTE models (both Bolero and Naida) Naida is a SuperPower aid. Regarding custom molds, you have a wide variety of choices in both RIC and BTE models.
I do have custom molds that get replace every 6 months. The tubes are replace every 3 months along with the hooks/filters. As for RICs I cannot do those as I am to active for them and I find them to be uncomfortable for me.
*edit the RICs are not very good at handling sweat/moisture.....and I am prone for ear infection if I am not careful so I use custom ear molds.
But it does have some interesting details if you have a 3 rail layout.
"This model features DCC sound, as well as a smoke generator and digital couplings at both ends.
Please note that ESU do not include any smoke distillate with their models. ESU also state you should only use there smoke distillate and not any other brand.
This model is compatible with 3 rail AC as well as 2 rail DCC. The retailer removed the 3 rail pickup shoe and moved the switch so that it currently works on DCC. Should you wish to use it on 3 rail AC you need to reattach the pickup shoe and change the switch back to AC"

Welp... someone forgot that our walking paths are uneven.
Minor abrasions only. Honked because I've walked that path over a 1000 times. They're paved, but old, and uneven. I hit one divot off guard, half-recovered, but the following foostep was in another depression.
Here's the damage:
Returned home 5 min later with only welling blood on the skin. No gushers or running down my calf. Cleaned with Hydrogen Peroxide, then antibiotic ointment and covered with the big bandaids. Added an ice pack and ibuprofen to help with the abrasion pain. No pain "inside the knee" - just surface stuff.
Since I made you look at my knees, here's some eye candy to ease your pain. I worked with the image process this morning for the Rogue's Gallery for the next book.
Did she do it? Or is she the next victim? Innocent bystander?
Waiting to see how long that pic stays in the main page gallery.

I tried the app. It was terrible. It is clunky, awkward, and will show you everything but what you're looking for.I have been getting it as well.
Somehow they are able to get around my add blocker. I noticed there are a few on Yioutube getting through too. Are they finally adapting?
Maybe if we load the app on our phones it would go away!

I was going to give it a try to get the $5.00 off something,
but based on your not so glowing recommendation, I will pass!
I tried looking for "Kato HO scale", and ended up looking at a string of televisions.

Here's my errant post from this morning - lightly edited for timing.. Apologies to McLeod for hitting the wrong thread while the caffeine was loading.
Well, howdy there internet peeps, and those with bushes that need to be cemented in place.
It's Troy again...
THIS thing is arriving today, according to UPS:
Unfortunately, I pre-ordered it right before my tinnitus went nuts.
I just learned that this new generation of hearing aids is using the new Bluetooth LE Audio (not the old version of Low Energy BT). And my iPhone is out of date to stream with. It will still work to control the hearing aids, but the streaming and phone call capabilities will be hampered.
So, I figured I'd sell this printer new in box. Got it listed on the local gamer sites. I'll add it to the MRR email lists in a bit if the gamers don't bite.
Selling it off will cover the phone upgrade I need to do. Prices are low at AT&T right now for graduation specials. Wife is grumpy enough about $5K for the hearing aids. Adding a new phone is going to make her grump.
As for the tinnitus, stress levels dropping about Mom is helping. And a found a sound app that seems to help. Yesterday was a very good day for tinnitus thanks to playing that sound combo. It's the Widex Zen Tinnitus app. It works through earbuds or headphones. A wide variety of sounds on it, but the "Tropical Night" with its croaking frogs, crickets and other sounds worked a charm. I ran it all night through a sleep headband https://www.widexpro.com/en-us/business-support/tinnitus-solutions/
The headband is pretty cheap, since it's trying to be un-obtrusive. A touch of annoying the first night or two, but I settled in to where I can sleep with it. Uses bluetooth to stream audio, and I connected to my iPhone. Need to pay it with the iPad instead. If I forget to turn the headband off, it fights with the hearing aids if they're both in range of the phone.

Update: the AT&T store got hammered on the specials on the iPhone 14. they told me they were all out. More expected next day or two.
And after my tumble today, I was icing the knee, and realized that I was on the last day for my license plates on the car. Ooops. I did get an email about that, in the middle of moving Mom and taking care of her stuff. So, off to the BMV
Round trip was only about 45 minutes. 15 to get there, 10 waiting on two people in front of me to use the Kiosk in the lobby.
Soooo much nicer than dealing with DMV branches in California. One thing that our old Governor "Mitch" did before he left to head up Purdue Univ was get the BMVs working well. They do have their moments, but I sure appreciate the changes after living in California for 4 years.

Phonak is what I have been using the last nine years mine is the
Phonak Naída P30-UP for both ears.
I am on my last year now for this cycle and the cost of these models have come down significantly. I do get all the accessories for these each time as well.

Oooops I did it again....I bought another EMD SD70Ace.....I got the elusive Union Pacific 8444 to be able to run behind my UP 844 Steam Locomotive! (both units are Athearn Genesis, the steamer is Tsunami 2 and the SD70Ace is Tsunami 1 which will get changed out to Tsunami2 ASAP as I have the decoder already. Just waiting for delivery) I will post when the Ace arrives on the RPO thread!
Have a good evening ya'll.

That is extremely well detailed!

Nope, not happening, but I agree it's a well detailed loco if you like boxes on wheels, which I don't.Troublemaker!
But it does have some interesting details if you have a 3 rail layout.
