RIP Pete Frates, who helped make the ALS "Ice Bucket Challenge" go viral. ALS is a horrible disease, one of my son's classmates had his dad pass from it as well....

Thanks all! A good day was had, lounging by the pool during the day, out to dinner with friends at night. Heading home from Florida today, not looking forward to snow, and work. I actually got called for an emergency issue yesterday from work, but was able to give direction to resolve in about 2 minutes.....felt good to help and not feel stressed.....

That looks simply awesome, Al....really like my Brooklyn Bridge too!

Happy Birthday!!!

Posthumous Leonard Cohen album....story is that he recorded the vocals, and his son carefully helped build out the backing music. I liked this....not ALWAYS what I would picture as his music, but still good.

RIP....one of the most recognizable "non-stars".....

^^^ My brother was at that Boston show....he said it was one of the best concerts he's seen.....

Happy Birthday Nums!

Hope you have a great one!

Ari....nice to see you pop in, and tell us about your pen-hole ? Hope all is well, care to fill us in on other life things?

That's OK, since Marc had 3 NUC's I read it more in the voice of Curly of the 3 Stooges ?

The NUC's are great as Roon servers. I have one at home running Roon Rock, and one in the Maine condo running Win10 with Roon server. SO easy....even switching Roon licenses between the two when I go up and back is simple....

Happy Birthday! I like the cake Steve posted, no wonder the old thread was bumped!

Happy Birthday!

^^ My brother had the (later US issue) album Desolation Boulevard, it had Ballroom Blitz and a different version of this song on it....loved that album!!

^^^ Yes, try to train them early to scratch only that which should be scratched ?

This is the best if you can do it, some hardwire and access points....I still may try to do this slightly cheaper, I was quoted almost $4k for a pro install including a rack and equipment in our basement. But I do have some cable wires going up an inside wall, routed through closets on my first and second floor, and then into my attic and back down. I should be able to use that snake route and pay a lot less. Just never prioritized it as my Eero's are working well enough.

The Linksys Velop system is getting some pretty good press, never tried it though. I use Eero series 1 at home (combined with an 8-port wired-only router), and Google mesh at my condo. All around good performers, and got good deals on them; I have bought a few used Eero's at good prices to expand even further (basement, enclosed deck/porch, etc.). I think overall throughput can be bettered though by other brands, or the second gen Eero. Both brands had simple installations, both are pretty foolproof. If you want to get into deeper configurations, they may not have that flexibility (like controlling the different bands separately, for example). My 2 cents....

RIP Mr. Evans.....quite the character. Marathon Man was one of the first movies I saw that I liked as much as the book....

This is un-fucking-believable! x2^n on the safe wishes.....

Been listening to this a lot since seeing them a couple weeks ago.... Also listened to this a few times, strong and a bit funky....

That looks like Gryphon electronics on top....that's how we named one of our cats (Gryphon Diablo).

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

^^^ One of my all-time favorites! And The Dickies do the theme song.....
