Merry Christmas and happy holidays. Planned to go skiing with Yumi but the snow is too slushy so we’re binging Shining Girl instead. Sophie ate too much ham…

Happened to be near an In-N-Out!

OK, I have been invited to give a talk at Rutgers-Newark on Monday and it seemed that Monday, Feb 28th might be a good day. So it looks like I will be heading to CanJam NY the weekend before! Please join me Travel Team 22!!!

Ordered one of these cases. Plan to put it in the overhead bin or in one of the plane’s “closets.” I think it should be ok based on what I’ve read (and I boarding group 1). Gator Electric Guitar Case (GW-JAG) https://a.co/d/7LO0E41

OK, maybe shipping makes more sense.

By the way, if anyone has ever flown with a bass or guitar, please let me know how it was. I really don't want to ship it but also don't want to get to Denver and find out I can't take it on my connecting flight (I have elite status so I can get on early). Metallic Tangerine (or orange)

I'll see your bass, Brent, and raise you. Taking my old bass to use for practice in Durango (so my "band" members don't hate me). This ones a beauty. G&L Fullerton Fallout (short scale)

You should trust Steve - he’s knows all about lubrication. 😂

Nice!!! Get a Fender Rumble. The practice 50 is on sale for Black Friday.

Looks awesome!

Hey Butch: are those your sandals. 😂

It was pretty terrible.

It's pretty normal around here. It’s a 5 ton/60,000 btu.

I've been without AC for a week but finally getting a new condenser in. They originally thought a crane would work but then decided there were too many power lines and went through the fence instead (there isn't enough room on the side of the house to get it through... dumb builders). Phew. Sleeping in the heat sucks (though I finally broke down and got a portable AC unit on Sunday).

Oh! I wonder how well it works.

I'm watching the HBO version - didn't know there was another one. Will have to check it out.

RIP to Vin. Spent my childhood listening to him - Dad's a big Dodgers fan.

Just finished Season 1 of High Maintenance. How is it that I just starting watching this. Great!

That looks awesome, Steve!

That looks heavenly!

Monitor audio silver 200 speakers on sale for over half off ($400 per speaker). https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=MRSIL200&variation=ERNT

Interesting. I was looking at that exact one. They have a returned one here near Durango for $699 at Best Buy. Edit: damn, the open box sold yesterday.

Thanks, Nate. It’s nice to know whether it’s worth wasting more time on it. Now to figure out what to replace it with - good sound and be TRIVIAL for Yumi to use when I’m in Tx. Any suggestions?

Moved my old Marantz SR 7100 receiver. The left front channel is not working (not much sound). Is it possible to set another channel (it 9.1 I think) so that the receiver outputs the Left front sound to it (I will be doing a 3.1 system) or should I just get a new receiver. I tried to output the front to Zone 2 and the center in the main Zone but it didn't really work. Yumi is going to be using this so I would probably go with an all in one to make it easy for her when I am not around - and don't want to overspend on this system since it is mostly for HT. The speakers are KEF Q950 + Q650 center.

Put together furniture and set up the home theatre speakers. I think we are going to have to move that tv mount the previous owners had up. Not sure why Yumi always has to get the largest media center.
