A workbench!

Finally poured the slab for the side of our house. After building a retaining wall and back filling. It's 90ft by 12ft, problem with being able to do things is doing them. My new favorite saying "little engine that could, but probably shouldn't.."

That's because you're supposed to put them in your ears!

Dance Away – Roxy Music I didn't know there was a longer version. The shorter radio edit replaced the original version and this longer cut was hard to find... until now.

Just put up some shelves and cabinets in the shop space preparing for making things again!

Wait, we were supposed to hold off if are current ER4s were fine?

Oh. Ohhhh.

Enjoy

Just a reminder of Tyll's preferences... And an alternative take (skip to 14 min if the below doesn't)...

Damn't Ric! There goes my audio diet,..

Mine were about that old. I had to replace them a few years ago as one of the cats chewed through the cable and they weren't replaceable. Fortunately the new ones do have replaceable cables since those have been chewed through, too.

My ancient ER4S is doing fine, so I'm with Mikey. I'd be more tempted if it was the SR though.

This reminds me that I need new foamies for my 17 year old ER4Ps. Best audio purchase of all time.

Thanks guys. Chinese BBQ pork is in the smoker, and a lovely chocolate raspberry cheesecake just came out of the oven. Doing it up 2020 style, homemade-at-home! Hope everyone is doing as ok as possible, I know this hasn't been a fun year for anyone. Just been lying low here and waiting for the madness to end.

sprouts and filet on the Weber.

Hire some more! You don't think I go there for the food?

Probably just a little derpy and trusting her to catch it. I just really like the sound effects on both of those.

It's the first time I've watched one of her videos. Normally I ignore product tie-ins, but this one is kind of nice. Online price seems to be around $600, but I'm not sure if these have been officially released yet.

Seiko Street Fighter V It would be the red Ken watch (Rush 'n' Blaze) for me... Shoryuken!

Sorry, Rhonda, Rest In Peace, you beautiful redhead. She may or may not have had something to do with my (now retired) obsession with redheads.

They do hurt. Here's to buying what I don't need.

This is awesome stuff Dan! Need to listen more, I had been listening a fair bit to SomaFM via Roon, but your selection seems much cooler 🙂

12" vinyl. Flippin' fantastic on my Musical Fidelity Roundtable!

Last night's show is up: There's a good number of atypical tracks in it.

I'm listening to this now, very interesting

Had a Vodavi phone system at work that one of the station ports didn't work. Normally I wouldn't even bother trying a repair on one of these and just replace the unit, but lacking any working ones on the shelf, I decided to have a go at it... and somehow actually managed to fix it. 😲 Random picture of one off the internet for reference: I had to replace one of those little blue transformers, the thermistor beside it, and some smd components on the back of the board, with ones I salvaged off a different broken unit. It took a few passes to track down everything that was damaged, but now it works as it should. Yay.

Bone-in and boneless short ribs went on the smoker at 11:30, wrapped at 2:30, will be ready to unwrap shortly.

Note that slack is more persistent than chat so you're talking to all current and future participants.

Rhonda Fleming, 'Queen of Technicolor', dies aged 97 “Suddenly my green eyes were green. My red hair was flaming red. My skin was porcelain white,” Fleming remarked in a 1990 interview. “There was suddenly all this attention on how I looked rather than the roles I was playing. I’d been painted into a corner by the studios, who never wanted more from me than my looking good and waltzing through a parade of films like The Redhead and the Cowboy.” https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/17/rhonda-fleming-queen-of-technicolor-in-the-1940s-and-50s-dies-aged-97?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

RIP Joe Morgan. An amazing player and a sometimes annoying broadcaster. 2020 is fucking insatiable. https://www.mlb.com/news/joe-morgan-dies
