Seriously tempting... Hilarious that they're still selling refurb pairs for north of $1k.

Jacob, I think I commented the last time, can't remember honestly, so pardon the duplication if needed but the issue may quickly become how hard they are to separate and work on. I seem to remember some of the Grados not taking kindly to trying to separate the driver housing from the other half and never having worked on RS-1s before that's the thing that makes me the most nervous. The internets seem to say that this isn't an issue but I remember trying and failing to open one set of Grados and fearing that the heat and force used couldn't have been good for the driver. Anyway, sadly for me work is such a shit show right now that there's no way I could usefully offer to help. I've overextended myself and will be paying the price for that for a while. If somehow bandwidth frees up and you're still looking for help I'll respond here.

Ok, one asshat has been given a timeout. If further are required I'll get out the .

Purchase the stuff, unless he wants a mint for it.

Looking great, Marc. Looks like the little motor infill panel worked out. 😁

Decided to use the new air fryer as God intended - donuts. Liberal extra glaze applied, hence messiness. The first few looked pretty standard but were consumed quickly.

Happy Birthday!!!

Tee hee hee, but sadly my offer was not accepted and the listing got one bid in the waning minutes. It's ok, I think I've found the motivation to get the Thorens out of storage and see if it still works.

^^^ Thanks Steve, foolish offer sent.

Here's what I'm up to - taking maximum advantage of working from home. Redeye and toasted coconut chocolate chip scone Traeger preheating for pulled pork

^^^ Here's to hoping that means at some point you can swing out to the east coast and we can enjoy boxed wine and decent BBQ?

The Traeger makes that part too easy. Going to double down on all the smoked meat this week and prepped a pork shoulder to cook while teleworking tomorrow.

Same. Better late than never, right?

Appreciate the positive attitude Reks but I'm not sure I foresee a time when I can spend that kind of coin on a watch I'd be unlikely to wear. A quick look says that it's a $10k to $15k watch, used, which makes it a complete nonstarter. Lovely piece, and like I said, total Grail for me. I've loved the 007 watches for for a quarter century or more now.

Mid cook meat porn.

Small brisket point (unpictured) along with short ribs (shown prior to seasoning).

Not for nothing but usually the solution is a better grind. For starters, I'd give a slightly coarser grind a shot, assuming you're grinding your own. Next step would be to pour through a fine mesh filter or strainer. I still end up with just a bit of sludge in the bottom of my French-press produced coffee but I don't find it bothersome.

Surely your neighbors wouldn't mind if you bought one of the inflatable ones and bonus, you could let the kids use it as a bouncy house? https://www.amazon.com/Happybuy-Inflatable-13x8x7ft-Portable-Workstation/dp/B07LDNL7GF

Seems like it's time to build/buy a small down-draft spray booth.

^^^ Pretty much the Grail watch for me. I'll probably never own it, but sure can appreciate it.

Same with my work rig, zero shame in that.

Hmm, I may need one of these.

Thanks everyone, it was a good day, as long as you ignore work (which one must most days). Dinner with the family was great and Lily baked me a cake which was beyond tremendous. So we'll hope that I'm maybe just reaching middle age and have a bit to go before I hit the downslope.
