Michelle and I met up with Shelly today for a few beers and a good post covid-times catch-up after what's been far too long. Great afternoon, and we even managed to find her Pliny on tap that was open in new years!

It was so great meeting up with y’all!!! And the Pliny was an awesome bonus! Hi Mike!!!

Happy New Year Sam's Deck* Fish and Chips, Fish Tacos *Now with heated bench seats on the perimeter. A winner!

Mubi is running a New Years $1/1€ @ month for three months sale. Take a break from Black Adam and watch these curated films. Plus the ladies love bad boys with scars and deep international film experiences.

I made standing rib roast for dinner last night and Claire made the Yorkshire pudding and the Paris-Brest cake, both of which were awesome.

Looked like he was coming after the cameraperson for a moment. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmK7FDqJbvk/ Of course added to my follow list... 'at least for now'. And 'Just kidding' above. After making the last setting modifications, I have had not issues, glitches or errors on the Alienware. Event Viewer (for Windows people) is clear of the errors that were causing the issue after long 4k testing. There are a few very minor things that I would like to still fix, but I am now very happy with the machine, and the pretty screen.

Nay. I decided the flu was better than tiny corgi teeth and did that instead.

Didn't make it to see Stanley Whitaker at a winery doing his thing, which is always great, but got to listen to some of his music with some friends as well as some Happy the Man, so life's good.

For All Mankind - Season 3 Every season I doubt this show and come to it way late in the game long after the entire season has played out. Every season it has surprised me. I’m about halfway through season 3, which involves a 3-way race to Mars between the US, USSR, and a private company. I’m loving it. Is this the best hard sci-fi show currently in production? I think the answer might be “yes”.

MOZART What are you doing, Herr Director? ORSINI-ROSENBERG Taking out what you should never have put in.

Speak for Yourself Imogen Heap 2005 https://album.link/i/1016968922 Example: Thought I would share one of the lesser known, but no lesser of the songs for the Example. I just pulled up the album to do some testing, one of my go to albums. But I cannot seem to listen to my test tracks and then not listen to the entire album. Of note, the TIDAL mix seems to be slightly different than the 2005 CD release that I have. This maybe because of the deluxe versions that they released last decade. Not that it is bad, just slightly different than what my acoustic memory is telling me. I will have to do some more testing.

Responding from phone - I think my computer just gave up.. "WE BUY GOLF CLUBS!"

Awesome doesn't quite describe it. Phenomenal is a bit closer.

Happy New Year!

Armadillo eggs.

I mentioned starting Fleishman Is In Trouble, but now that I’ve completed the limited series I gotta say it’s really something. Give it a shot.

Just popping in to say hi. how you folks doing?

I'm doing OK but I'm ready for 2022 to end. I spent the day doing some woodworking with Steve and couldn't bring myself to clear the drains in the back yard before the next big rain we're supposed to get. Did you spend most of your day getting your fingers shredded by a furry land piranha?
