Today we said goodbye to our huge black walnut. I will miss that tree but it was 90% dead and had to go. At least it was taken away to become lumber.

Particularly rough line today. 2.5 hours in line before placing our order. Going with 2x Foie Gras, cheese fries, and a game of the week: Pernod-Infused Pheasant Sausage with Rhubarb Mustard, Goat Cheese and Truffled Radishes I'm really going to miss these damn things.

OS X is just $20 but I have a macbook air so I can download it again as I paid for it when I was upgrading to Mavericks. Yosemite is going to be free to no worries on that account either. In typical head case fashion, I could not stick to the aforementioned budget and ordered the following. And a 128gb Samsung 840 Pro ssd for the OS and catalogs. Should be plenty of space since nothing else will be on that drive. Images all get stored in the 2tb drive which I can add to later once that fills up. Excited to have a desktop again. Still need a keyboard...

High on Fire - Death is this Communion ... ... Seriously. One of the best metal tracks I've heard in the past 23 months... ... Here's proof

I'm a glutton for punishment.

Just got home from a short ride, Made it a bit over 5 miles, then realized there was quite a bit more float than I thought. Somehow, I stripped the threading on my crank arm. Was able to ride about half of the way back with one leg, but got a pretty nice 2 mile uphill brentride in. Guess it is time to figure out how to get the arms off the Y foil and swap them over, which was already the plan.

Test Tone @ Home live right now: http://mixlr.com/illuminator/chat Still haven't diagnosed last week's sound issues. Using a different ADC this week.

Going to a bbq tomorrow, taking a bit of brisket with me that has just finished 3 days in the SV. Will reheat briefly in my friend's SV and then grill to finish.

I am surprised that I have not heard that Ari is in town to race in the Brompton National Championships this weekend. You saving yourself for the world's?
