Still find it odd how we can so easily spend $$$$ on some hobbies and be so hesitant to spend $ on other, likely more valuable things. May 8, 2024 at 9:01 AM

  3F, EC Af, or revisit Phonitor X for 2020?

    If it's not the savings, the best upgrade is a bottle of alcohol.

    Unexpected free time today - 1 hour with Phonitor X (with Aurender A10) - if 3F with Gungnir at meet was 90/91ish to me, then (used) Phonitor X at this place was about 89... but for 2/3 of the cost.
    
    Af is about 95/96 to me, Stellaris is 98ish.

  First time ever - almost 2 weeks of flu. Half of it low grade. Ugh.

    If one has to get flu, at least it should be a decent grade!
    
    Seriously, though... sympathy. Have spent the last few days with a /slight/ fever. More than enough to take the shine off life.

  Future reviews and impressions will be more straightforward now that I've written hopefully enough content for people to triangulate.

    Most were deliberately a little too spelled out and long to help establish my baseline for others. Of course I will be happy to clarify or spell anything out as needed.

    If part of your trip includes Dublin, definitely recommend visiting the Guinness brewery. Fantastic beer AND food.
