Outlandos D'Amour The Police 1978 https://album.link/i/1440797181 Example: This album (like many) reminds me, that so much of the police, is Copeland. Just the opening of this song from the live show - with Stewart taping up his fingers because he plays just too darn hard. https://youtu.be/Vzkp9TqN9po Then: This made my Prog-Heart go pitter patter. Milliontown (remastered) Frost* 2006 https://album.link/i/1541286848 This Scorching opening track had me hooked: New to me (Yeah, I realize that Dusty posted about them about 13 years ago). But happy to have them now.

The British GP did not disappoint.

BACH: The Art of Life (Encore Edition) Daniil Trifonov 2021 https://album.link/i/1607542634 Example: 58 tracks! That is a lot of Bach. And I am okay with that.

Drove far out to a recommended BBQ place in Simi Valley, only to find out that their online stock listings are not accurate. Got on the phone and found a place with a Twin Eagles pellet grill with rotisserie in stock at a place 10 minutes from the house. Grrr. I have to get the stone recut (it's not deep enough). Um, I guess I find someone locally to do that? In the meantime, picked up some ridiculously good ZEF BBQ while I was out there. I love brisket—why isn't all meat like that?

No it didn't. I'm glad Carlos won, it was about time that nothing broke in his car. Things keep getting more interesting. A miracle that Zhou was unhurt.

Had some friends up in Maine; nice lunch overlooking the ocean (past a pool), then poking around Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise. Looked like someone was home in the Bush estate, not pictured but there was a Secret Service vehicle parked there. Also a pic of the lighthouse at Goat Island, in Cape Porpoise.

I got bored waiting for the replacement bolts to arrive and so purchased my own and finished installing the missing bolts. Here is my first CNC project: Making my own Stax 5 pin sockets using ptfe design in vectric vcarve desktop: making some (ptfe) chips and no router bits broken... final result after deburring and running the drill holes all the way through: overall I am happy with the result. The tabs holding the piece into the material could have been smaller and after test fitting the pins the holes should have been 4.6mm rather than 4.5mm but I don't have a 4.6mm drill yet. other than that I have a working Stax socket 🙂 This first version uses 3 tools: 3.175mm end mill, 3mm drill and 4.5mm drill.... its slow and boring changing tools, so I remade the tool paths only using a 3.175mm end mill, ran the code and found the drill holes were smaller than expected. I measured the 3.175mm end mill... 3.13mm... hmm... so I updated the tool data base with the correct diameter and re-ran the cut again.... I realise now I have to measure all my tools and not rely on the size they claim. I could not find any metal m3 nuts that fit the threads but are small enough not to touch each other so I used nylon nuts instead. I tested the insulation between the closest pins pairs to each other and got 300Gohm at 5.5Kv.

I'm just glad you finally got around to trying out this album. Day & Age (current album) is fantastic, too. Madlad just bought a Fairlight.

DON'T I KNOW IT

Kid A Radiohead 2000 https://album.link/i/1097862870 Example: Experimental in nature - but a good listen.
