I've had the HD-800's for about a week now, what I appreciate the most so far is how little of their own sound signature there really is. They have this wonderful ability to change almost completely depending on the music I'm listening to, only one other phone is better at that, the SR-009's. It's nice to able to just listen to music without thinking about or noticing the sound signature that the phones are applying to everything I listen to.
The HD-800's are supremely comfy phones, their light weight really matters for long listening sessions. Build quality is top notch, hardly anyone in the headphone industry (except maybe Oppo) is even close to this type of build quality. I don't know if other companies don't give a shit (well Grado clearly doesn't) or aren't capable of this level of build quality.
Tidal discovery.
Steve Martin and Edie Brickell
Love Has Come For You
If you like New Grass, Steve Martin is a surprisingly good banjo player and songwriter. Renaissance man.
Panda Bear - Panda Bear Meets The Grim Reaper
This is one Tidal recommended and I just <3 it. I've listened to it a few times the past couple of days, and 3 songs more than once. "Mr Noah," "Crosswords," and "Boys Latin" are all tracks I'm really digging right now.

Got a new new bed to hope in.
I purchased a Leesa full, it has the same 100 days policy and 10 year warranty with using a code for $100 off. $690 for a full mattress with shipping. It seems to be competing with the Casper.
Thanks, all!
I mostly ate a lot. Over the weekend, the family took me out for King Crab legs. Then the day of, had buffalo wings and a big, greasy, cheese bacon BBQ sauce burger.
Then a promise of more great restaurants all year, because I needed to be cheered up extra to get over being the big five-oh. Yikes!
Oh yes then Anne couldn't find a Cavaliers cake, so got a ... ugh. .. Bulls cake!
A friend wanted a new couch. He sourced the foam by asking people to send off for free samples from one of the big guys.
His couch is amazing.
