Simple inlay cut with a drag knife.

I know I already listened to this this month - anyone have a problem with that? Physical Graffiti (Deluxe Edition) Led Zeppelin 1975 Example (like you need one) but man is this a great track:

Apogee is having their annual independence Day sales. https://apogeedigital.com/4th-of-july-sale Just picked up the MiC+ ~40% off.

The Hoffman method is a win...as long as time allows. Not a problem on the weekend. Thanks for the recommend on the japanese style coffee...I'll definitely have a look. Could be good for an afternoon given how hot it's getting here. HS

Thanks for the reminder about the Hoffman Method. It's been awhile...

One of these days someone will get the Variations right. ______ Joaquin Joe Claussell - Raw Tones

That sounds awesome, Sam. I have had some wonderful coffee out of pour-overs. I use something similar, either V60, or Bodum’s copy of the Chemex, depending on whether I am making coffee for just me or for more: it’s my most commonly used method (try a Japanese-style iced coffee in it!). That sounds like really good coffee. I have a new local roaster’s on my counter. I freeze coffee once it has off-gassed enough for espresso, and this particular one was roasted a week ago. I’m looking forward to fiddling around for half an hour making manual espresso with it. I do that about twice a month: it’s just so much clean up. I revisited French Press when I saw the Hoffman Method. It makes a damned good cup. I’d suggested revisiting it too. edit: I really strongly suggest trying Japanese-style iced coffee. It’s amazingly good on a hot summer morning. This isn’t quite how I make it, but it’s a good starting point. https://www.seriouseats.com/japanese-style-iced-coffee

That is awesome, Sam! Beat that thing up on adventures: it’s what it’s made for!

I always got the feeling that 'pinning down' ZMF would be a fruitless endeavour. With all the different wood and pad options, I can't imagine how any two pairs sound the same. Definitely going to be some quirks in there. I can understand how ZMF is attractive for a hobbyist who wants a statement product; something very unique and personal to 'finish' their headphone collection. But for someone like me just in the market for a set of phones? I found it all too confusing and weird, and just gave up trying to understand all the permutations.

Frustrating Morning: Bach: Goldberg Variations (Extended Edt.) Lang Lang 2020 I have listened to some Lang Lang and I have liked it - but this. It is played so slow that it is almost laughable, like a student learning to play. Example: Vs. I just had to stop after a while.. so...

What about 3D mind meld AI pods? When they are available, I'm in.

Got the single stitch taken out of my eyeball today. Tested vision at 20/15. Everything is healing spectacularly.

Took a little walk outside when it was 109F today. Yup it was hot. At least it is down to 103 now (8pm).
