I finally got the Demon out to the track. Only a few passes in before the rain came. Running the Nitto OEM drag radials and the track prep at this annual event is what it is, but fun all the same. Great bunch of people for the most part. A lot of show cars run so street tires and poor track prep make for a lot of wheel slip... C'est la vie... Some friends of mine shot this pretty cool slow motion shot so I could learn from the pass...off a phone. Boy I'm getting old but have to love the tech... HS

I see 2 cats and raise to 3! Waiting for liver. Ohai!

Burger with ... The oven baked sweet potato wedges were suprisingly good.

I forgot to tell you yesterday... Now I'm qualified and registered enterpreneur!!! Course has been finished. Also, the lecturer (asst. Prof. Aydın Kayabaşı) likes me and my business idea, he became my Mentor. Things are going good. Only selling the hecking speakers left between me and 1st phase of my dreams. Thanks for your support guys!

I enhanced my X to a Xs Max. Noice.

Buckethead "Crime Slunk Scene"

BBQ'd a couple of striploins last night. Pretty tasty! I think I might prefer Angus to Jersey in terms of flavour, but more science is needed to say for sure. It was really tender, that's for sure.

I was on Sierra for a couple of years (just finishing up a clean install of High Sierra now). I found it to be pretty snappy and probably the best (for audio apps at least) since Snow Leo. If you're running a DAW (I don't know about video editors), it's a good idea to do a clean install every now and then. Things get sluggish after a while and just upgrading the os drags all the crap into the new system files and preferences. I do when I upgrade to a new named OSX. So far, I'm finding High Sierra to be about the same as Sierra (speed wise). I did this upgrade mostly to transition to the new file system and also the word is that the latest version of Pro Tools and Logic Pro X both love being High.

So the YouTubes went down for an hour or so yesterday and I missed the whole thing. I redid my upstairs audio setup a month or so ago and I haven't done any critical listening with it. Naturally I queued up a couple Biosphere albums. Substrata (1997, but this is the 2017 web release). Cirque (2000 version, I don't have the web re-issue yet.) The former is arguably the greatest ambient album in the world, and the latter is no slouch. Cirque is really, really good. Substrata is ...transcendent. It's unlike anything before or after it. I'm actually not huge on 2002's Shenzhou. It's full of weird classical music samples that get old quickly. That said, iTunes played it next and I bothered to listen to the whole thing. I'll say this, the not-annoying parts of the album are actually quite good and require some effort on the part of the listener to be appreciated. That's not really surprising, given the artist in question.

I use mojave on my old macbook air. It works at least as well as sierra or high sierra.

Congrat! Good news. ?

A teenager beat you to it.

IMHO Talisker is rather peaty. Not Lagavulin level, but smokey.

She's pretty terrific.

Saw the wind farms off Brighton ...
