It is great to watch all of the Star Trek series in HD. The old 1960s TV show props were made for 1960s crappy TV sets and some of the props are laughable. The planets they visit and we see from space are fantastic. Whoever made the prop planets did great.

The original Twilight Zone series is in HD and the B&W is simply great. The tone range and fidelity are amazing, and high detail. And great stories.

- is the discount on everything?

the show THE BOYS on streaming AP is worth the cost of admission.

season two starts in TWO DAYS!!! egads!!

I like the Prime music streaming app. It learns what I listen to and created a station just for my tastes called My Soundtrack.

I love Amazon Prime...have had it since it started.
The only problem I have with Amazon...is receiving goods that have been returned.
Last year I ordered a De Marchi biking jacket that was tagged as new. The second time I used it...I felt a solid object in the chest area. Looking further, I found a small zip-up hidden pocket on the inside. Inside the pocket was a house key.

Another time, just after the covid struck, I couldn't find a thermometer in my local stores...so I bought one from Amazon. When it arrived, I noticed that the box that it was shipped in had a loose item rattling around. I opened it and found the thermometer not even taped down. Very apparent that it had been used and then packed up again.
I washed it thoroughly, but I still can't get over the box label which states it's an oral/rectal thermometer.
What would you do??

My wife has issues streaming music she bought through Amazon not being available for her station or playlist.

I don’t buy any of the songs. Some songs aren’t available unless you pay.

I’ve found Prime music buffers a lot while Spotify is fine.

Not individual songs, but the music CD's she has purchased over the years. So even though we own the CD, the song isn't always available to drop in her playlist. Minor irritation but it is still frustrating sometimes.

For streaming from home we use Plex. Free for Windows devices, including the server to run at home and $5 for mobile devices. Works well if you have a lot of music stored at home and gets around the Amazon issue.

Season 2 of "The Boys" starts today. Really cool series.

Nice stimulant to the economy!


Prime Days coming up........what's everyone planning on getting?

I remember someone somewhere saying they got a Honda Inverter really cheap last time.

Worth looking into.......

So my front tires were $82 each, and the rears arrived today and shipping was $93 each. So $350 for shipping, but it was free because I had Prime! Gotta love buying tires from Amazon!

Love the free shipping.

Because you're in the islands - that's a deal maker or deal breaker more than it is for us on the mainland, I think.

For example - last time I bought tires from Tire Rack - it was also free shipping.

Is there a Tire Rack in Hawaii - and if so - would you also get free shipping?

No Tire Rack in Hawaii. I also do not qualify for free shipping from Pelican.

Which is where Amazon Prime comes in. I think it's OK to pay for shipping with Pelican though - to support the mothership, ya know....

Yup, that's why I order from our host.
