Mostly wrapped up the 95lb tiny bench.

Here is a totally not exciting light box, but it’s exactly what my friend wanted for his new kitchen. So 🤷‍♂️.

Thanks all! Very low key day, had to attend a Cyber Security virtual seminar (day 1 of 3 days!), then Karen and I just brought in pizza and I fell asleep earl 😝 But Friday, son Andrew and his GF Amy will come over for a REAL celebration! Looking forward to that.....

Agree, still don’t think it will be my bag, but if they are happy, I’m happy. Little more fun, prepping a white oak slab.

I don't listen to enough Korsakov. Great performance.

Randy Newman Land of Dreams Ex. Her own mother came To meet us at the station Her dress as black as a crow in a coal mine She cried when her little girl got off the train Her brothers and her sisters came down from Jackson, Mississippi In a great green Hudson driven by a Gentile they knew Drinkin' rye whiskey from a flask in the backseat Tryin' to do like the Gentiles do Christ, they wanted to be Gentiles, too Who wouldn't down there, wouldn't you? An American Christian Goddamn

Larger parts on end are for legs, other three are for C channel.

It's gotta be over 100 lbs! Looks good, and I wasn't sure if you were leaving the groove but it gives the sides some texture and interest. 👍🏻

Carl Stalling had as much to do with my education in classical music as my mother, if not more. "You say that like it's a bad thing." &c.

3 days?!?!? FFFFUUUUUUUUUU... Mine's an hour, and I sometimes feel I'm the only one who takes it seriously. I had a guy constantly haranguing me to help him circumvent security so he could print stuff out. I reported him. He doesn't work here any more.

Putin makes extraordinary claim only Russia can protect Ukraine from Polish invasion. Stop me if you've heard this one before.

Happy belated birthday Todd!! Enjoy the upcoming celebration on Friday

Cheers Todd - Happy Belated Birthday - and future celebrations.

Happened to be near an In-N-Out!

Glad he didn’t kill himself with the BASE jump at the beginning. Also cannot believe how much kinetic energy must be in the jump at around the 5 minute mark at what looks to be close to top speed.

My experience is that no finishes really last on this stuff, but I saw Penofin Transparent Ipe at the hardware store this morning so I got a can. I reconfigured this table a bit, made stronger legs from the old ones, and bolted them on instead of using screws and glue. We'll see how it holds up all around.

Looking at various other items for the system, starting with ViewSonic’s new PX748-4K and EliteScreen’s tensioned electric outdoor screen in 140”. Paying about double for the screen versus the projector feels wrong, but the ViewSonic feels like a good choice despite some odd features mentioned (ARC?) which I can get around I guess as I am planning a 2.1 system.. dunno if others have opinions, but this is the last piece missing working out the throw distance and screen size..

Almost thought you were talking about MAGA republicans there at the end.

RIP Brian Duffy, aka Jet Black. Longtime drummer for The Stranglers, though he retired in 2015. Got to meet him and the band back in 1982 or 83 when they played Boston. A college dorm-mate worked as an intern for CBS records and we took the bassist to WZBC for an interview. Then met the band back at the hotel, and after the show got backstage with them. Jet was a very cool and interesting guy.... https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-63904248
