I had a friend who had a bit of a learning disability and was an only child; I was 8 when I met him and he was 5. As we grew up, he mimicked a lot of the stuff that I did.

When I got out of AF training 1987, I purchased a Roland HP3000 digital piano (which I still own) because I enjoy playing and it was a "no maintenance" musical instrument.
He seemed to want an instrument to learn so his parents bought him a Roland synthesizer.

In 2001 my friend passed away @ age 34 due to a heart defect. His parents gave me a lot of his clothes since we are similarly sized.

Just after X-mas this year, my friend's father passed away; he was in this 90s.

A few weeks ago, I stopped by my friend's mother's house and she is busily trying to get rid of stuff accumulated from living in the same house since the late 1960s
We went downstairs and she indicated she had no idea what to do with the Roland. I was SHOCKED they still had it; it is a mid 1980s model.

I told her it would mean a lot if I could have it since it was her sons; we settled on a $60 price and I hauled it away (hatchback prius FTW); she is the type that has a bag will all the manuals etc even tho it was purchased in the 1980s.

Got it home and there are a few glitches but certainly completely playable. I looked it up and it is in fact the consumer version of the Roland Juno 106, a somewhat legendary piece of gear. Seems they are still selling for quite a bit of $. Regardless, the value to me is elsewhere.

Our loveable tard Maizey. After the gigantic deal she made climbing the two steps up into the new travel trailer, she hopped up on the couch and just looked at me with a 'what? this is mine now' look. She's climbed steps before and is generally fearless, but the 2 aluminum steps up just completely befuddled her. She stood out there whining to come in and I told her that I wasn't helping, she'd have to figure it out on her own. Took her about 5 min of whining around before she climbed up.

Love the dog to pieces, but she's about half a moron sometimes.
