^^ enjoy I was lucky that Sonja brought a Breville to the relationship.. (larger style with grinder, etc.) After several months of Costco coffee living out of the airbnb - we unpacked the roaster last night after our move - and immediately roasted a batch of : BRAZIL QUEIXADA ILICINEA - EDNEI HENRRIQUE - GREEN https://www.bodhileafcoffee.com/products/brazil-queixada-lliciniea-green Roasted just to full city (maybe city+) So nice to be sipping on our own roast again. (no pictures - just savoring)

Daw! I would hug him and cuddle him and call him Lovecraft.

just because its a great amplifier does not mean that it likes to drive pure transformers. decca ribbon tweeters, quad esl56 and 63, klh 9 etc are all considered very hard to drive loads. transformers for electrostatics are much harder to wind than you might think, not a standard thing

A perfect transformer doesn't exist and they usually have a lot of capacitance which adds to the load and thus...loss. Bunch of other issues as well but for a budget setup, transformers work well and are easier than ever to use with all the excellent chip amps out there. Well not the Wee...all the ones I've seen have a shared negative which will blow up the amps...

Listening to Time I by Wintersun. What this album lacks in quantity (only 40 minutes long) it certainly makes up in quality. My favorite metal album of all time by far, and probably one of the the more well produced ones.

Been looking at the seamaster bullhead recently. The silver dial is really nice imo. Probably need to wait until Xmas though. It's either that or the tt speedy mkii. I don't have a chrono in my collection atm. Not that I time anything regularly, the only use my dive bezels get is when I need to time circ arrest cases. Actually did that on Saturday for the first time in a month.

In honor of this stupid meme: Put this back on. ?

^Or H P for short?

New one for me.

Santa Clara County Fair. Fujifilm X-Pro2 & XF 23f/1.4. Fun with colors and a tiny tripod.

While I have a smart watch that I use as a wallet and cellphone. The fitness tracker and sleep stuff i never got into. I didn't see it as actionable data. Been waring my 300m all week, at the pool now. My planet ocean had duty last week in Baja.

Went to a wedding last night and decided that I'd already tracked enough steps/activity that I could wear an actual watch. And yes, I know the date is wrong. I was in a rush to get ready and didn't feel up to fiddling.
