Tomatoes are finally really rolling

Technics 1200GR. Oh my lawdy...

I got routine blood test results. My triglyceride levels were 489 mg/dl, right before I became a vegetarian. Two years later, it's at 160. Still a little higher than I'd like (high triglyceride levels run in the family; for instance, my mother weighs a hundred and twenty pounds and has as pretty low calorie diet, but has a triglyceride level over three hundred, despite statins), but I think that's a pretty darned good result. Everything else in the lipid panel were squarely in the "normal" zone. Fasting blood sugar is under 100 (everybody on both sides of my family over the age of 30 has diabetes except for me and my mother, so I think this is a triumph!), my resting pulse has fallen under 75 (again, still higher than I want, but it was over 100 two years ago). Blood pressure has been good despite reducing the amount of medication I take. I think I'm doing pretty darned well.

last year was really bad for tomatoes. This year however they are coming out of my ears picture was about 2 weeks ago, now they are coming in faster than we can eat them

New Instant Pot Ultra, had to make some baby back ribs. Never made ribs before, so why not. **BRENT**

Mo jazz this evening, smooth jazz

Let me introduce you to Head-Case.

I believe Hawaii's interpretation of castle doctrine includes hotel rooms. I didn't defeat Apple in court, though, so I'll take my "L" and move on.

Morrissey?

Lower case smooth jazz. No pejorative.

Was: Klaus Schulze, Androgyn RIYL: Klaus Schulze, although this is one of his best new releases in years. It's very mellow, even for him. (A lot of his releases are either synthesizer noodling over a sequence, or weird collaborations with vocalists or other instrumentalists like cellists.) Is: Eno, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy and Before and After Science

That's already ended in disappointment.

I actually had a Cher watch! But I broke it while turning the dial backward. My thinking was "If I could turn back time".

What 6-eye do you have spinning there? Edit: Never mind, I zoomed in.

Every day this thread strays further from the light of God's love.

Those tomatoes look fantastic, Al!

On that note... There's a rumor that Cavalli and Schiit are merging. Instead of merging product names and calling the next amp the Liquid Schiit, they're just going to call it Diarrhea.

Dude! Stretch was droppin' rhymes way back in the day! He was on Ice T's OG album. He was set to put his own album out in '92, but the man held him down. Some of us lucky ones still have the pirated tapes. It was called "Marshmallow Slim OCM". OCM stood for Original Con Man but wasn't exactly what you first think of. It actually was short for Original Connecticut Man, but the label wanted it more greasy, so they shortened it and put him on the cover. He looked a bit different back in the day...

Feels more like Hopkins. Thou art indeed just, Lord, if I contend With thee; but, sir, so what I plead is just. Why do sinners’ ways prosper? and why must Disappointment all I endeavour end? Wert thou my enemy, O thou my friend, How wouldst thou worse, I wonder, than thou dost Defeat, thwart me? Oh, the sots and thralls of lust Do in spare hours more thrive than I that spend, Sir, life upon thy cause.

What happened to the @Knuckledragger signature posts? Don't you love us any more?

Bjorn Riis, Forever Comes to an End RIYL: Pink Floyd, Pineapple Thief, Airbag (of course -- that's his band)

Pantera "Cowboys from Hell"

I note that Stretch liked your comment, but I will point out, as his attorney, that he said wine drinking "in his house" will occur henceforth only after a body weight of <210 is recorded. He is on vacation in Hawaii, not at home. This rule shall not be in effect for some days. I will further note, that I am disappoint, unless he's going to drink with me outside his home, even if he is still "Fat."

Some additional heavyweight

I went to the thrift store and there was nothing cool there until I saw this on a bottom shelf... They were asking 20$ with stickers that they were unsure if it worked so perfect for me. This is a PSU for Mackie mixing desks with a super long umbilical cable which I have removed. Heavy fucker too... at least 10kg. Healthy output current so the idea came into my head to use it as a bench supply should it work. After some cleaning it looked ok with no bad caps or any visible damage. Just look at that monster of a transformer. So I turned it on and well it worked so this was next: No current limiting here but hey, this one was cheap so who cares. Also I can test large class A amps with this beast.

We buried my father in law today. Very sad day. He was just shy of 90 years old. They found a small spot in his lung about two months ago. After radiation treatment, he deteriorated very quickly. Lots of good memories to keep with us.
