Bill Withers - Just As I Am 24/96

“Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

Based on the new Tesla thing? They nailed it, it's equally horrible.

B&W 800 D3 system with an SVS SB16 Ultra and McIntosh.

You’re not a Vulcan?

The Tesla likely performs though.

I guess I'm gonna have to go back to relying on my looks to get gigs.

I would also point out that some, mostly the type that engrave metals, of lasers do not trigger a blink response because they are in the deeper bands of IR. So all you will notice is your sudden lack of depth perception, or vision at all. I found this horrifying quote from Wikipedia: "A pop or click noise emanating from the eyeball may be the only indication that retinal damage has occurred i.e. the retina was heated to over 100 °C resulting in localized explosive boiling accompanied by the immediate creation of a permanent blind spot." And seriously, a $300 pair of safety goggles can cover a wide swath of potential lasers, chump change to the several thousand most of the good machines cost.

I put on my investigator hat and solved the case of the missing trash can lid. For those still on the edges of their seats. The lid was found and using an 8’ Heavy swimbait pole rigged with a GoPro case I was able to cast, first try, the case right into the middle of the floating lid and reel it back to the edge of the lake where Kasia retrieved it with a stand up paddle board paddle.

Going with the opposite ratio in the bedroom setup. Obviously, I need to even everything up and get my cables lengthened and organized differently, but this setup is incredibly satisfying.

I bought my new impact driver and accessories. Santa has come early.

I've learned today that Mariss Jansons died the 30th at 76 from cardiovascular disease. He was expected in Madrid to conduct the Bayerische Rundfunk next January

Well, things have gone absolutely pear shaped here in scenic western MA. I was due to have my chimney serviced on the 4th. That's in two days. I just called and cancelled that appointment. I can't use my wood stove until it IS serviced, so once again my house Castle Ballfreeze.* Worse still, I currently have no one to plow my driveway. The company (a one man operation) I used most recently completely ceased returning my calls a while back. I paid him cash on site when he did show up, so I haven't the foggiest what is his major malfunction. You can imagine what it's like trying to find a new outfit to plow right in the middle of an early and massive blizzard. Fun times ahead! * An ancient GoT reference.
