(Wednesday) helped my son and GF move into their new condo (movers did the heaviest stuff). They're working with the same designer who helped Karen and me with our bathroom remodels. Very nice, and she sent me a wonderful note about Andrew. Made a parent's heart swell, it did!

The Lazarus Project (Netflix) - an absolutely crazy take on the time-travel sci-fi genre. Just finished binging S1, now starting S2. Awesome.

I have a DAC1 USB to a Luxman P1u to a pair of HD820. Should I do better than the DAC1? I have limited space. Probably pointless to upgrade. Wish I had a DAC still that would not fit there:

Cat-sitting dessert.

Lots of Monika Roscher Bigband (esp. the live videos on YouTube). This is delightfully genre-defiant -- it's prog, but unlike much other prog I've ever heard.

Trying the pilot of Naked and Afraid Apocalypse (Discovery & Max) over lunch. For fans of Naked and Afraid, Naked and Afraid XL, Naked and Afraid: Alone, Naked and Afraid: Solo, Naked and Afraid of Love, Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing, and Naked and Afraid: Castaways. 1500% authentic.

Like with your track helmets, go try some on. Freewheeler should have Bontrager (I've got one of the 150ish$ wavecell helmets and it's solid.) Davis Cyclery probably has a few options. Biggest thing other than fit is going to be ventilation. It's brutally hot where you are so lots of vents/airflow would be my rec. Ken's will have Specialized, Bell, Giro, and Abus. Looks like the only Smith they have is one you'd want to skip. Also, you don't have to spend 300$ to get a great helmet, though you'll find plenty in that range. One more thing, some places offer different fits. See if you can find #68/69 at Freewheeler. Asia fit + Round fit. One of them may fit you better. If you find yourself looking at the MTB ones, Fox usually does a lot right, but I'd probably not look much further down that path than the Fox Crossframe or Speedframe models. You can ask Colin about POC and a couple others. POC was something I wanted to try, but sadly they don't make a 7XL

Became reacquainted with an old friend.

Had to listen to the tune to get the drift

So Bob Dylan was your headmaster? 😳

Very local South African tune. The singer was my high school headmaster's son. 🤷‍♂️

This is peak Gen Z humor, I assure you.
