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.

Lol! I’ll be staying at Rice, at least for the foreseeable future. Would need to switch fields (data science/AI/machine learning probably) and get a work from home job to move out there permanently. I really only need to be at Rice during the fall and spring semesters and can probably visit once a month during the fall semester.

Not today, but yesterday: Yumi accepted a job in Durango and we are under contract for this place. Higher interest rates and COVID pricing is a bitch but at least we’re not buying in CA. Time for another HC meet? We got a big basement god people to crash in. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/96-Walker-Ln-Durango-CO-81303/13939794_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Second best thing to a DD in California.

Happy birthday, Brent!

Ended up getting the Lenovo Thinkpad P1 with 32GB RAM and the Nvidia RTX A3000 6GB GPU. Paid for overnight shipping so it should be here soon! Thanks for all the help.
