Well I killed my dirt bike this morning so out goes the UTV. Been a lot rain in the mountains on my side of the valley. I'll pull the power washer out after hitting the trails again tomorrow. Was really wishing I spent the few dollars to refill my tear-offs.

Well I was finally fed up with the shit cable so out came the tools... One funny thing, I just read through the manual and it specifically states that these have a gold plated plug...which they don't have in reality. Why state something which ever owner will easily spot as a lie? Similar earpads to the Shangri-La Jr. The protective mesh is just a black PCB and the other side even has some production markings on the silkscreen. First reveal and yup...these are 100% pcb. Just stacked up in the baffle and no glue at all. Now comes a pile of pics: It's an interesting design but from a build quality point of view, this is miles away from what Stax are doing. One other thing, the headphones are wired up backwards, + output is wired to the back stator. The back grills just drop out and are not fastened in any way. Time for a new cable. The wide PC-OCC Stax cable is a tight fit but it does work. All done.

New Vampire Weekend. I like it, less mannered, looser. Good.

Put the G-Shock to work yesterday. Couldn't get the focus right on the cheap ass cellphone camera, so 2 pics.

RIP Jessica. Sorry Dusty. FUCK CANCER.

RIP Jessica. Sorry Dusty.

RIP Jessica....seemed like quite a lady..... Makes me think of all the people in our lives, the ones we meet who make even a small difference. I think back on things, even back to High School, and people who weren't "in" my life, but who made some impact on me....

Sorry, Dusty. RIP Jessica and fuck cancer.

The wife was too sick to come out today. She was totally passed out on the couch when I went out. Probably for the best, she doesn't really appreciate mudding.

Just found out Jessica -- a manager at the Tower Records I would most frequently go to, and with whom I had a lot musically in common (she was a huge fan of Meat Beat Manifesto/Jack Dangers and a lot of synth pop and industrial), and who was gregarious and vivacious and full of life and ...okay, yeah, I had a small crush on her -- passed away from a very aggressive form of colon cancer at the ridiculous age of 42. https://www.dailyitem.com/news/campus-theatre-manager-jessica-paquin-dies-following-battle-with-cancer/article_b64c1964-0490-11e9-86b3-d7aaf6f7567d.html?fbclid=IwAR3Q4R4qc9wclf5-mlxKZjiweny3sdxNCIOKpdUGjpr5-qBymTS0ip_0TK4 FUCK CANCER.
