The funny looking cat is equal parts angel and hell beast. And I have the flu. But on the other hand a new Rega Elex integrated amp arrived minutes ago as well as a new headphone cable.

Should you be in the Apple ecosystem there's a pretty large $4.99 movie sale going on right now with Apple TV. Not sure how to link directly so just launch the app and go to Store/$4.99 Movies by Decade. Just picked up Sideways, Ran, Citizen Kane, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Tree of Life, Lawrence of Arabia, French Connection, It Happened One Night, Branagh's Hamlet, Bram Stroker's Dracula, The Searchers, On the Waterfront, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Taxi Driver, Bad News Bears, and... Logan's Run.

It arrived. I ended up just sitting outside for 3 hours. Anyway, I love it. The internet has different thicknesses listed. I get 7.85 mm. It’s just thick enough to have some presence. Not much thicker than the hand wound Reverso ultra thin case, though a noticeable bit thicker than the Drive extra flat. The strap is the nicest alligator strap I’ve handled.

my math on beans is VERY different than most, I'd bet. It's gotta be a pretty special bean for me to buy it at retail, or even half off retail.

Indeed

The doc Westwood: Punk, Icon, Activist is a great watch, free on Tubi, YT, etc. and available to rent elsewhere.

I've been packing since (what feels like) the dawn of time. With that said, I glanced at the news a couple times this week.

Now Wait a Minute. There is a place in Cali named Whiskytown and I have not been there? https://www.parkrangerjohn.com/whiskeytown-national-recreation-area/ Will wonders never cease?

After listening/watching this ^^ I needed some more Paula Cole, so: American Quilt Paula Cole 2021 https://album.link/i/1558502979 Example: I wasn't sure about this to begin with. There are a bunch of styles on this album, that I was not sure would match Paula's voice. I was happily proven wrong track after track. The Example, plus the 'audiophile system setup quality'™️ of Bye Bye Blackbird will have me coming back to this album for more. Thanks Paula.

It definitely wears like a 40mm watch, but of course very slim. It wears similarly to the Drive extra flat, which is also a bigger watch than a lot of people expect. Sam, it’s interesting to me that the typeface looks perfectly art deco while looking completely contemporary.

There's a somewhat subtle reference in that tweet:

I've loved it since it was released. It's larger than I thought though. Enjoy it!!!

I shamelessly pay for high quality, freshly roasted beans. I'm not proud of it... HS

It looks modern and retro at the same time. Handsome watch, J. HS

I understand that Dan. After roasting for many years, all my pricing is based on bulk or sale green pricing.

Still celebrating my paid week off, for Christmas. Today's giant breakfast... Taco omelet, consisting of Carne asada, cheese, tomatoes, sour cream and guacamole. Toast, breakfast sausage and home fries. Yes, I cooked entirely too much food! Pretty sure half of this will be lunch.

how about the transistors, op amps and voltage references are they also the same as the schematic?

As He Do

Peter Gabriel: Secret World Live (1994) Apparently it's that time a year again when I have to watch this concert... Always breaths life into me.

I don't remember a happy ending. 😜

life is short, but music is eternal....

Stay safe (and sane)

@blessingx When I was in the used camera business, we had a small stash of old Alpas which are still my favorites. https://casualphotophile.com/2018/03/21/alpa-10d-camera-review-swiss-35mm-film-slr/

Pink Floyd - Animals (2018 Remaster) I hadn’t listened to this album front to back in years but this new remix had me dipping back in. It sounds great. This album rocks. Shame these guys still don’t get along with each other to this day (supposedly this was delayed from Roger and David fighting over the liner notes?). They had such a unique sound together. IMO the worst of the Floyd albums is better than any of David or Roger’s solo work.

Unfortunate situation for a local roaster (to me) turns into a rather good deal if you are interested. I grabbed a case. https://www.modest.coffee/2022/12/how-we-got-grifted/
