  1. Love most of their albums! Thanks Taylor for reviving them 🤣
  2. Another one in the "this is stupid but I still love it" category
  3. Pretty much all of my music at home and in Maine goes through Roon. Pi-based players, standalone speakers (Elac, BluSound, KEF), and a bunch of other gear. It's just so easy, and you can play around with EQ per endpoint as well.... I'm still on the annual plan, but should see about lifetime at this point.
  4. I would definitely recommend Jimmy's Birthday Party as well....earlier live recording, but love it!
  5. Yup....not a fun day at work....and I wasn't in the exact middle at my company, just more on the periphery.....
  6. This was one of the best TV series endings ever.....
  7. Very cool, Jim! And yes, the new unit is a great price. The previous units could be bettered by a cheaper NUC running Roon Rock for about 1/3 to 1/2 the price. Smart of Roon to recognize and deal with that. I use a NUC at home with a 2TB internal SSD, and a NUC in Maine with a 3TB (I think) external drive. Both work well and as you say come up quickly and easily after shutdown or power loss.
  8. Went to take a shower today, and a very young mouse was visiting in my tub😮 Should have taken a pic, very cute little thing. Put it in a box with air holes until I could take my shower and put it outside. The dichotomy of our reactions: Karen: "Oh, gross, we need to get rid of it and any others...." Todd: "It's SOOO cute, we should get a habitrail and keep him...." 🤣 I did let him outside, but fear he's too small to survive on his own. And we got some no-escape traps to see if others are here and can be captured. I also plan on getting some humane packages of those mint or other deterrents....
  9. So cute, and awesome of you to adopt an adult! Hope she brings you many years of happiness!
  10. I literally listened to that song last night, part of "The Morning Lasted All Day: A Retrospective" album. Oddly (or maybe not) there was something I just loved in that video about Lara St John as she grooves while doing the chorus....
  11. I just recalled a bad memory.... When my stepfather passed away, he had a nice Rolex in wonderful condition, had it for literally decades. In his will, it was left to his oldest son. That son didn't care one bit about the memory or what that watch meant to his dad, and sold it for I think close to $15+K.... My mom was pissed, though of course he had every right to do what he wanted. It was just a lack of respect to my stepfather's memory in our eyes. EDIT: I contrast that with my wife, who got an expensive Cartier watch from her mom after she had passed. Even though she'll never wear it, she has trouble selling it based on how much her mom loved it. THAT is respecting a memory. That said, both her sisters said they'd be OK if she wanted to sell it.
  12. Yeah, I don't want to go to the beach so much these days....(woops...need to watch on YouTube)
  13. When I was in college, I was in a suite with a gent named Chuck (Charles). He would go to me and others with receding hairlines and warn us "...your follicles are CHOKING, pal....!" 😄 I am now almost completely bald, but I gave him some humorous grief that his receding hairline up his forehead went faster than mine. Only difference is now he has more (and darker) hair on his sides and back then me. But I enjoy this....I use a trimmer to shave what little is left maybe every 2-3 weeks, no cost to get a haircut anymore.
