Oh, Alton.

Happy Birthday, Brent! Maybe for all our sakes you should stick to pandemic appropriate substitutes for the moment.

Happy Birthday Raffy! Maybe Mike will give you the day off!

Have a Safe, Socially Distant Birthday, Rob.

Well, not everyone.

Squabbling you say?

Here's one approach https://support.hifiberry.com/hc/en-us/articles/205699981-How-to-build-a-multiroom-audio-system-based-on-Raspberry-Pi-and-Hifiberry?mobile_site=true The RasPi's make a commodity streamer / digital endpoint. Room ( and slimserver ) support multi player / grouping / syncing control. Centralized (multi channel) Amp (s) and distributed analog signal to passive speaker's ? Distributed RasPi's to active speaker's? Distributed RasPi's with (HiFi Berry?) Amp HAT's and passive speaker's? Plenty of different Audio signal path architectures , all behind the same digital path/control architecture. Or mix and match? Nice problem to have.

Happy Birthday, Chris!

http://www.331fish.com/ We got there just before closing to avoid any crowds. We could have called in the order from home, but waited until we were within 5 minutes. Went in, paid for order, waited outside. (Packed) Order bought to the table were we were waiting. Picked it up and proceeded to the car in the parking lot where we enjoyed it, piping hot. I had an iced Usual waiting, and Joanne's "Tea" in her Contigo seemed to have a frothy head and an ABV. Allegedly.

Zoinks, surely. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/zoinks#Etymology

Socially distant fish and chips

Well There was the original Turbo Encabulator The Chrysler Version Then Rockwell enhanced it to make the Retro Encabulator And nowadays there's a Micro Encabulator End the misery of side fumbling forever!
