Just returned from our trip. I plan to file a complaint with Vrbo as our rental turned out nothing like the advertised picture. 😁

Example:

Looks like brisket

^^ Cheryl Ladd beat Farrah and Tiegs for my wall poster.

Wasn't sure whether to listen to Blow by Blow/Wired/There & Back, or Who Else!/You Had it Coming/Jeff, but stuck with starting the original trifecta. Will listen to the rest of the original trifecta and the secondary trifecta over the course of the next couple of days.

Can you make a venm diagram? It all sounds terribly and I’m considering burning my phone to hopefully forget the visual of a spiral btt attacking my taint. But at least it will be clean, thank you bidet.

^^ Cheryl narrowly beat out Farrah for the poster on my wall (other than music-related). She had a kind of natural beauty I always loved.

I'm not familiar with her, but may she RIP. I'm old enough to remember the first Super Model... Cheryl Tiegs

Is that the bit that you're going to use in your pocket hole? I really don't like that clamp placement, but I guess it depends on which way you face when you sit on that thing.

Some nice sadgirl indie singer/songwriter stuff: Nicole Dollenganger's new album. Example: https://tidal.com/browse/track/268195507 ...but I think I'll get back into Jeff Beck -- comfort music, just the best.

Sony announces less money boxes: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/new-sony-walkman-music-players-feature-stunning-good-looks-android-12/ I guess they don't expect to sell many of these things... my main concern is on the feasibility of battery replacement, which is not discussed. My 3rd-generation iPod Shuffle is still working on its original battery, which is not bad for a device from 2009.

There's probably a Senior rate for the flight.

What happens in the shop stays in the shop!

Started yesterday, was worthy to come back and finish today. Brahms: Symphonies Nos. 3 & 4 Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Herbert Blomstedt 2022 https://album.link/i/1620195158 Example: Herbert at 95 still doing his thing. This is not a grand, bombastic telling of the Brahms. It is a lovely more delicate interpretation. He pulled on different themes that I don't think I recognized in the past. Not that I am super familiar with the 3rd and 4th, but I really appreciated these recordings.

Winds of change and have blown on in, and I'll be at Canjam, looking forward to it!

Jeff Beck dead at 78. RIP to the legend. And fuck bacterial meningitis! Yuck. My next oldest brother had a couple JB records I borrowed a lot before he went to college and then JB had a hot record There And Back with Jan Hammer when I was a senior in high school. I stupidly lost my paper ticket to see him on that tour and ended up seeing AC/DC the same night. That was fun and all, but my two buddies who saw JB constantly rubbed it in that it was the most amazing concert they ever saw, Yada Yada Yada. I finally saw JB live with JP# in Oakland and it was great even though not the same as 1980 would have been. We got very high and required large burgers in a sketchy neighborhood to sober up enough to drive home. Rock in Peace JB

Now all we need to know is when CDs will sound better than records ...

First episode was excellent. Currently streaming on Hulu.

I'm on hotel WiFi, also I must inform you that this is a thing.

OMFG, I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard, why are fart jokes so goldang funny?!?!?

Thanks a lot for all your inputs, Kerry and simmconn. Now it seems I’m back on track (knock on wood). Since “reflowing” the board and a new HN4A51J the PSU has been working for almost 24 hours with several on/offs. Voltage is stable, decreases some tenths of a volt from cold and than bang on the intended 150V. After some struggling, I managed to measure the three faulty HN4A51J. All Q5:B are unknown components on the tester while Q5:A are PNP with hfe of 4 or 5?. Now the angels are singing on my modified T2 with EML tubes.

Sudden cardiac arrest is a complete bitch - it can take a fit looking individual out in short order with no warning. Happened to the Principal Investigator, George Fraser, for the space mission I was involved with. Slim, fit, almost a non-drinker. Killed him at home aged 58. Almost ten years ago https://le.ac.uk/bepicolombo/meet-the-team/professor-george-fraser RIP Lisa Marie. Like George, far far too early.

Lisa Marie Presley, daughter of Elvis Presley, dead at 54 This is crazy. She was just at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on Sunday.

Realize now I should have gone with less spalted maple and more hydraulic lifting table base in the drill press table. Heavy and awkward motherfucker. On an unrelated note, does anyone know the symptoms of a hernia?

^ I had the same thing for like 5 weeks. antibiotics and something to help drain it did the trick. I still have a cough 8 weeks in but at least the sinus infection is gone.
