Thanks, one and all for the Birthday Wishes. There was Diet Coke, (which Brent's image search failed to account for), and an enjoyable day, even if involved staying home to watch the rain. Now entering my 7th decade, I think that calls for a usual! Cheers!

The job was made a lot easier, due to Milo's prep of the old Redwood boards. He had them milled to very close tolerances, so mating them up without gaps and other issues was a piece of cake (gluten free, vegan cake for Doug). Hell, I'd love to have a room sided like this, I hope the saddles and bridels appreciate it!

I have not had a Jazz Party in a while: Jazz Party Duke Ellington 1959 https://album.link/i/192990980 Example: As good as you think it would be.

One package of Costco bacon, plus a block of six Hawaiian style rolls = supper.

Well this was in my queue for a while. Gives an idea of the depth of the queue. Drone Mass Jóhann Jóhannsson, Theatre of Voices, Paul Hillier, American Contemporary Music Ensemble 2022 https://album.link/i/1603845983 Example: Thanks for this Ric. I am not sure I would have added this to my queue on my own, not knowing the work or the composer. But it was a good listen. I got into the themes and the blend of voice, instruments and other.

Yeah, I liked The Recruit as well.

Upcycled redwood siding from the former house on the lot where my brother's new house is. This is the tack room in my sister in law's new barn. It's looking very sweet for a rustic utilitarian space. Still need to finish the ceiling and trim around the doors and window. And then there's another tack room in the garage, aka the tacky room.

Had a most excellent hike today out to see the waterfalls of Al’s back yard Tam. Flows are awesome after all the rain we’ve had. Dam at the bottom was spilling at full speed.

Have a great one!

Happy Belated Birthday Grahame!

LOL 1:41pm -- OWC Larry informs me 2:40pm -- Apple informs me 4:36pm -- other retailers begin to inform me OWC Larry really has got the inside scoop!

The Recruit (Netflix) - looking for a light, humorous easy-to-watch spy series? Check! Many likeable characters & an overarching season storyline that keeps you interested. The episode acronym titles are a hoot too.

Happy belated Grahame. Sorry for the rain but glad it was an enjoyable day. Cheers!

Happy belated and congrats Grahame!

Great news! Our friend and Lance's former coach had his fencer take Bronze at the Paris world cup. Lance fenced Cheung, the bronze medalist years ago with Lance getting his ass kicked but it was a good high level almost Olympic ass kicking. Of note, while training here a few years ago we had all three of these guys plus the rest of the Hong Kong team over to the house for some post training 12 hour braised short rib tacos. The coaches and their wives loved my wine, what a surprise.

No, an innuendo is an Italian Suppository 😄

Just finished this one too. Very entertaining. Hoping for a 2nd season.

Just read about a company that 1) restores older Apogee ribbon speakers, and 2) makes their own in the same tech vein.... I liked some of the old Apogee's, so was nice to hear this. Clarisys Audio is the name....
