Nine deaths from the fires known so far. It will rise as they get back into affected areas. Aluminum wheels melted down. Now there's a chance people are going to go in to try to salvage/steal metals and other things from the ravaged neighborhoods.

There are many full neighborhoods with only chimneys left standing. K-Mart, Trader Joe's, Arby's, gun shops, all toast. 50,000 acres burned since last night at 9-10pm. Crazy fast and spread by wild winds.

Yeesh, Mikey. Glad you are not working out of that facility any more.

We stayed in SF and both woke up with a strong smell of smoke. Checked online if the park was burning but found out about the first Napa fire. The kitchen surfaces were all covered with ash because the wind was blowing so hard it was coming in through a vent over the stove. Creepy and devastating for so many.

We had Vietnamese food for my next oldest brother's 60th birthday tonight. Thanh Long / Crustaceans ftmfw!!!1!

Happy birthday!

Out of reach pump is best pump.

Stretch and I were just discussing the waning interest in owning ANY media. Disc players are way passé (as you long ago demonstrated with a disc giveaway) and even piling up data on servers and hard drives is starting to seem clunky and unnecessary. I am also looking for a streaming device that doesn't require a computer and I think it is going to be best to focus on the interface and streaming capability. I think I may just skip the hard drive/server models because I don't like managing the files and still have lots of silver discs and vinyl. The Auralic DAC was not my favorite when I was comparing dsd dacs a few years ago, but that is pretty dated info. I may just get a good streaming device and run it though my Playback Designs DAC because I still like it so much (and it plays discs).

Fucking horrible day. RIP TP

Hold your horses, Steve. This is full on Straight Eye For The Queer Guy. No feature walls. No coordinated throw pillows. Just places to sit and spots for gear and a few other amenities like a kegerator with beer, wine and Diet Coke taps for your HC guests. ?

Are you and Joanne already dipping into "Earlybird Special" territory?

I admit to being the most obsessed about this stuff, but I also have help from Stretch and Grahame and everyone who chipped in to make this possible for Steve. For now, I'll only say one word about the decorating theme: No Family Like Ours.

Have a great one Wayne! Cheers!

Happy birthday Steve! Hope your first one living in Eugene is going great! Cheers!

Checked this out while reading today. Good stuff. Then The Smiths.

Copy cat!

RIP Hef

WANT CARNITAS!
