Yep, the world moves like the chapters in our book of life, every chapter starts with new improvements and experiences. However, we also cling to the memories of the previous chapters. Glad that you also still have a turntable and vinyls.

We are in a very unique situation here, as the surrounding mountain range, and the wide-open ocean play a big role in the weather patterns. The rain can come from any direction, and the opposing wind clashes between the inland and open ocean create fantastic views in the sky. It seems that you have a similar pattern, but the distances affect the views.

In my mind, simple is the way to go, as then one knows what to expect, and it really makes life so much easier.
Stay well and take care.
