Local CBC says it's minus 12C but feels like minus 23C due to wind.
I'd better buy a new outdoor thermometer...or place the current one further from the house.

Sure you can afford one?

I can afford to buy a new boat, dummy.
Wife and I picked out one yesterday at the local boat show.

outboards.

I've had a couple of powered studio monitors ... one set was an M-Audio
system and the other a Roland DS-8 set that I still have. Both are very
similar in performance and features. I have used the Roland system for
computer use and it works well but the only thing with both the M-Audio
and the Roland is that they produce *too* much bass for my liking when
set to flat response. You have to play around with your computer's
sound board equalizer to fine tune the sound. The Rolands are powerful
though ... I also use them for keyboard powered speakers using a mixer.

Problem is your house is too small to accommodate big sound.

The more I read, the more I think I'm going to stick with my Logitech Z2300s. They
weren't able to handle the organ at max volume from the Telarc Saint-Saen's organ
symphony. But then, not a whole lot of normal speakers would, at max volume.

Won't actually have it until May. Have to go back to the Boat Show on their dime to sign the paperwork around 1100 hrs.
Since I'm somewhat limited by our narrow driveway, the new boat is only a foot longer and a few inches wider. Since it's made of fiberglass, it's about 50 per cent heavier. In order to not get bitten by our seventy cent dollar, I opted for a brand new 2015 model.
Since I'll be doing my deep water sailing on a 39 foot sailboat this summer the idea was to not spend too much money to get something the wife will want to go out on on fine days.
There were two versions of the same boat. The outboard model and a MerCruiser 3.0 I/O model with a big extended swim platform to make it easier for us and the dog to re-board. It's a compromise as usual. Could have gotten a bare bones more sea worthy boat for a bit more, but the wife wouldn't hear of it.
It's a Bayliner 175BR. Yeah, I know...they had their problems with quality a few years back but the salesman convinced me that they are reasonably solid now and with the light useage and short season up here, it should last me the rest of my boating career.
