Steve, well worth the (less than 15 minutes) to catch up on the story with a happy-ish ending! I imagine it's b/c I was a few days late in reading up on biscuit-related post, so I didn't get any (wonderful) ideas. While I am hungry, I'll refrain from making any breakfast-related excursions for at least a day or so to make sure those next few meals find the right address.

Right. Don't think you had a link when you bought it, so I just looked it up on Adorama's site and it was 749$, IIRC. The link you had from 3 hours ago, however, did show 399$. If you ever find a deal, post the link. I've been able to send deals with crazy big discounts from there, but you wouldn't be able to find it by searching; it's a very URL-dependent site. Oh! And I found out that they moved their warehouse to my old stomping grounds in TN! A friend of mine works for them; says it's the best job he's had other than DJing. ❤️

When I checked it, I saw the full price and couldn't find the deal you got. Looks like a nice piece of kit. When it gets down to 90% off...

I've had a Samsung Z Flip 5G (Z Flip 2) that I've liked, though I would COMPLETELY recommend going with a Z Flip 5 that comes out next week. You can get great trade in deals right now, but they're also offering a free storage upgrade now, so I'd just do that. The front screen on the new one is large enough to give you data and even have a keyboard on the front (though I'd recommend using the SWYPE-style features on that where you trace out your words instead of typing them, as it is pretty small.) I'd also get a good case for it. My friend who has had every Flip since the 5G (he gave me his old one; I use it as my second/work line) has an Otterbox, but I got him hooked on Spigen cases and he hasn't looked back. He's moving on to a Fold 5, which isn't going to suit your purposes, but if you're looking for slimmer, I think it's going to be a great way to go. You can use a USB-C to 3.5mm jack, or get fancy with any non-Grahame recommended USB-C DACs (there are some good ones out there), and can have a really nice little pocket rig. There are some other companies making foldables, including a more budget-friendly Motorola Razr that's coming out soon, if not already, but Samsung has the most marketshare, and I've been getting consistent security updates on my 3-year old version, which is the reason I got away from Android (and over to the darkside) for single phone/work-related stuff anyways. I've moved mostly over to the Cult of Steve (no, not @swt61) for the most part, but still try to play both sides (again, no, not talking about you @swt61), so feel free to hit me up with any questions you may have and I'll do my best to help you out.

¡Feliz cumpleaños! Hope you bought something awesome for yourself!

Mmmmm, I/V Dilaudid is my happy thought. I wouldn't mind trying a lollipop or two, though.

Figured some of you may want to snag one of these for the shop(s). https://festoolfanshop.com/products/pizza-cutter?variant=40150557491287

Grrrrr... was going to tell you and everyone else who got a Specialized SL-equipped bike that there is a great deal (25% off) on accessories, including the range extender (which was REALLY hard to find previously), and 25% off of the Y-adapter (that I used today before I ride with @cetoole and Xavier) https://www.specialized.com/us/en/shop/equipment/gear/turbo-extras/c/turboaccessories Then I am reminded of @Voltron's snarkiness, and then I thought about my favorite Google search: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=breakfast+biscuits&find_loc=Bellevue%2C+WA Have a good ride! /me muahahahahahahahahahas

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a decent day. Realized my license expired so I went to go buy some whiskey at the last minute, so I made a birthday cocktail. Had another band concert to play in (had one Sunday too) and a buddy in the section serenaded me with the HBD song, which was nice. 6 of us went out for dinner afterwards and they bought my dinner as a gift, and was nice meeting some new people/hanging out with others when we weren't just sitting in band. And, over the weekend, I got to have lunch/dinner with a good friend from back home while he was out instructing at a racing school in the PNW. Overall, been a solid time period since I turned The Answer.

Great story! Also, '81 is when I was born.

Lunch update: postponed due to animal emergency on the side of the main dude; I was completely understanding and told him to take care of the pupperz and we'd reschedule. Should be rescheduled for later in the week, or early next week. For now, drinking.

Grabbed a 100$ haircut + beard trim for my first "meet the team" lunch with a very interesting prospect job wise. I've never had a "lunch interview" before, but this would be a job that would interface somewhat with my old job, except I'd be leading the account for one company instead of low-person on the totem pole for the old company. Restaurant https://stanfords.com/locations/northgate/ Menu https://stanfords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Stanfords-Main-Menu_Web.pdf Depending on what the head guy orders, that 12oz cut of rock salted roasted prime rib looks great, or perhaps the smaller rib eye. I guess we'll see what's up in the morning, but the goal is to walk away on a good track to make more than my previous boss/grand boss, which would be just fantastic. It was a pretty good sign where two former co-workers sent me that same job listing, and one of them had reached out. I went from the initial "hey, we got your name and want to put you in the pool, send your resume" to, after receiving resume, "that's a STRONG resume. I have a few people out at the show [ISC West in Vegas a couple weeks ago] I'd like you to try to meet up with. If not, we'll get together in the next couple weeks." Looks like it'd be a really good match, and I have a LOT of good recommendations from inside that company, so gonna grab a drink, take a nap, and then try to figure out the ideal etiquette to handle a job interview in a restaurant. Come to think of it, the last time I had a job interview in a restaurant was in the 90s at either DQ or Hardee's. Man, now I want a biscuit...

RIP Marty; my condolences Mikey.

Happy belated Thursday, etc., Nate!

If anyone is looking to get rid of any vintage portable tape players, or *cough* one of those tempermental-ass, shitty Nakamichi Dragons, ping me. Thx.

Happy belated birthday. For you, at least. Here, it's still your birthday, but wanted to make sure you knew it was belated coming from me. The big 6-0 should really deserve something more festive, but here is a:

Heh. Sucks about downsizing, because stuff is great, but I’m pretty happy with my Bonnie Pink PRS and Daphne Blue Jazz Bass. But I also want a crazy relic’d masterbuilt and/or Murphy shop something. GLWS

@Dusty Chalk - Figured you may dig this purple Les Paul R9.

Happy belated, @Pro-Ject!
