Ripped the floors and shower out of our rental property. Installed the new floors. Will do the grout and fixtures on the shower tomorrow along with base boards. Next weekend new kitchen, bath room cabinets and counters. Only thing we aren't redoing is the garage. Although I did put new gutters on that. Paint etc still needs work next weekend too.

Fire and vinyl

The vinyl sounds nice, but no fire here, 88 today.

Fuck that! RIP Kenny. Agree with Ken, Ruby was my favorite.

We have been confined at home for 9 days and it seems that we will be at least another two weeks ... The positive is that I am listening to more music than ever. Mammal Hands

Hey Knucks, I've worked on a few 5050's and they usually don't take very much work to get running pretty well. You might want to check out some of the threads on the Tape Project forum (particularly the Guides above the General Forum) although a lot of the links are broken these days. https://forum.tapeproject.com/ Feel free to PM me with any questions.

I think the Yemen is the very first single origin on the product page? https://www.levercraft.com/decent-espresso-club/single-origin-yemen-haraaz

^^ My guess is that to get to the Yemeni he's got to clear some of what he already has listed. It's spendy but I'll try to slide an order this guy's way, Dan. I'm nervous what the shipping is going to be for glass bottles of coffee beans. EDIT - in case anyone is curious, it's about $8 to ship 2 bottles (1lb).

Shut Up, Little Man! A 2011 documentary on the infamous recordings of a couple of drunks in San Francisco: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1766085/ It was really good. A great slice of underground culture, going "viral" before the internet.

Godspeed, Kenny! HS

RIP Kenny. Ruby will always be my favorite KR song.

I missed my window by a little bit, but even a day late you're the best, Al!

Would you be able to run Windows IE on your Mac using Wine or WineBottler? I've used this on mine to run the Windows versions of LTSpice and DipTrace. It seems to work pretty well. https://winebottler.kronenberg.org/

If you're isolated by choice or by mandate, you might be in search of a low latency, high quality way to collaborate, or mix/master remotely, this is the best I've heard of (so far). BTW, Ian Sheppard has been a trusted online audio pro for years (I took his online mastering course a while back) and his Production Advice site has a wealth of (non hyped) info. Edit- Don't expect to be able to "jam live" over the internet. There is too much latency for that IMHO.

https://www.levercraft.com/decent-espresso-club This is a small coffee shop in Austin that is roasting far better coffee than I can. He’s hurting right now because he just bought a lot of really expensive Yemeni coffee. If you have it in your budget it’s a cup of a lifetime and would help a small shop survive the trump plague.
