I'm lucky like that too, although it has to be said that my Mrs hobby, horses, is a whole lot more expensive than anythig I've ever come up with. We recently had a vets bill which would have covered the cost of my Musicman Stingray and Eden WT800 and 2x12 cab with a whole lot to spare. In effect I'm permanently in credit although also permanently skint too.

The Drugs Dont Work - The Verve

SMX is a cracking amp in my opinion and the dual band compressor is the icing on the cake. Should have kept mine but the dreaded GAS got the better of me years ago.

I always run my fingers down them to get the twists out then put the ends together. Then go end to end again and repeat until there's 2 to 3 ft length. Then tie in a loose knot. Has worked fine for me for decades.

Have been looking for a Digitech Drop for a while with no success. Singer can't reach some of the high notes in the stuff we do and some of it doesn't work well without the low notes. So, have just 'snapped up' a Behringer US600 which is allegedly capable of handling pitch shifting so I can tune down from E to Eb or D. We shall see. Up til now I've used a pitch shift patch on a Zoom B3 but it sounds a bit 'chorusy'. I'm supposed to be getting rid of stuff by the way, not acquiring more of it.

If you're music is rubbish, make it offensive and at least angry people might buy it. It's a market, albeit a fairly small and sad one.
