Yardbird biscuits, followed by chicken and waffles with mac and cheese. Oh lawd.

I don’t really have a type. I find lots of women beautiful. I just wrote that in case she was reading it.

My chassis is almost done now, finally. Took a quick pic this morning, lighting not good, but will give you an idea. The front accent pieces cover a drilling mistake lol. I tried to add a pic of the top, but I think I reached my size limits for uploading pics maybe?

Joep Beving, Henosis — this is sublime...piano...electronica...melancholia...ambient...listen to what he’s doing in the background And this is just ridiculously beautiful: And this puts me in mind of Delia Rodriguez and Gavin Russom

The srm-001 is an opamp driving a fet that drives a transistor (cascode) into a load resistor and is cap coupled to the output. (cascode differential) The jade2 is an opamp driving a transistor that drives a mosfet (cascode) into a load resistor and is cap coupled to the output. The calculation of output capacitance is flat out wrong as the middle of the cascode is AC ground. (cascode differential) Just about identical. Obviously the jade2 consumes a bunch more power and puts out a bunch more power. I own 2 hifiman products. Both are built like shit. I'm unlikely to buy hifiman products ever again.

Very interesting the design innovation and manufacturing development you are sharing here, Aumkar. It’s a pleasure to see such openness and transparency in this over hyped headphone market. Looking forward to hearing them when available.

Well, I've held off on posting this one. Thought the 300mph barrier deserved its own space. Also, I've been to busy and or lazy. Weekend is finally here and I'm kicking back in the backyard after way too much foot traffic through the house...LOL. My daily was my beloved 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Creampuff with only 26K miles (I work a couple of miles from the house). All wheel drive, 392 cubic inch motor that made short of 500hp at the flywheel (i.e. not the wheels...I'd guess 10-15% drivetrain loss due to torque converter, etc...), 8-speed transmission with paddle shifters, big Brembo brakes, a lot of suspension flexibility with a dial...and a hilarious but beloved launch control should one ever need one. The wifey borrowed it a few weeks go to pick up her dad from the hospital and take him home as her coupe sits quite low. She got struck by another driver on the way home (fortunately she was perfectly fine) and the damage while not huge was enough for me to call it a day after 4 years with the big girl. It was days before the Texas Mile and my tow vehicle was down... I did not make it to the Mile with my Demon. Don't get mad, get even. After scouring for a similar vehicle I concluded there are not many and certainly not in the shape I'd be happy with. So..... 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk with the Hellcat motor and some nifty gadgetry was acquired. Traded in my 2015 at full trade-in value and handed over my insurance claim. The 2018's on the lots were discounted more, but I still managed to get a good bit of the 2019. Way to expensive a vehicle, but I have to admit I'm a sucker for the power, leather, and technology. vroom vroom... HS

And Bacon Butterscotch Cake for dessert?

Placed an order for the alligator strap, so when I receive it in 8 to 10 weeks and it’s fitted to my OP, I’ll post some photos.

Kicking off 2019.
