If it wasn’t obvious, I’m usually indecisive as all hell when it comes to any single major purchase. Paradox of choice, etc.

Not sure what you’re hoping to see in nov. Closed back atriums are probably coming next year. And there was mention of sub-$1k headphones to possibly come after that. Cocobolo atrium should be available very soon

Yeah, I thought I saw some chatter on head-fi about a July ltd edition? Could be completely wrong.

A couple of other things: the body can metabolize only 18–25 grams of protein in a given 1.5–2 hour period. So there's no point in loading up on protein. Better to add a side of green vegetables (e.g., a mix of lettuce and spinach, or broccoli steamed in the microwave). And, if you're 30–35+, it's likely time to start making your heart work less hard. The easiest way is flaxseed oil capsules.

Congrats @Qildail ! That's a huge accomplishment!

Thanks everyone for all the positive energy on this. Quite a bit more than I was expecting, in a good way.

By the time I get to that stage with my 7wo daughter, we'll all be paying using biometric scans. No way I'm giving him my face, hand or retina.

@Senorx12562 Yea I’m just being a snark. At this point it’s all just details.

@YMO Don’t ever change. lol

@Qildail, the lack of Evil Laugh after your statement makes it clear that you are the FIL, not the son-in-law ;/

Huh. I was hoping to get an AKM Modius but I guess I’m a little late for that.

I just read that AKM is supposed to restart mass production for the 3rd quarter this year. I wonder if Schiit will switch back

AKM re-redesign is done, but no immediate plans to switch back, unless ESS has problems or pricing issues. We have both designs mainly to ensure shipping something in a world of supply chain pain.

Yeah that’s what I figured. Once you’ve switched it’s a huge pain to shift again after committing all those resources.

I also swear like my father. I cannot explain why or how, it just happens. For a gentle soul he swore like fire breathing dragon ready to destroy everything in his path.

Either way, take care.

I still haven't played any of my grandfather's record collection, and he passed in 1996. things like this are different for everyone. don't think you need to do anything because it's "normal" to just get it over with. give things the time and space they deserve.

It is okay to cry. My father left almost nothing. His old G-Shock lay there. After a month I had it fixed up. It is something special.

@yotacowboy @Deep Funk Thanks, guys, truly. The whole thing has been a walkabout through a lot of (mostly good) memories. Everyone at SBAF has been supportive of my extended public therapy session via sharing music; and that makes this process many times easier on the chi.

@Thad E Ginathom Usually I get my ass kicked for one day and remnants for another. By the time I wrote that status I could actually see straight again, but I'll be spending today on light duty just to recover some energy.

As another plagued with migraines, you have my condolences. You thankfully have compassionate kids to help.

Sumatriptan usually works for me if taken during onset. Hope you're feeling better!

Quebec Nordiques are still in the running ;)

Impossibru!!!!!!!!!!

Would like to McDavid hoist one. Where's McSorely's curved blade when you need one...

Dropped a can while juggling 4 up to the liquor store counter - but it didn't burst. So good :)

@CEE TEE why were you one the floor? Was everyone getting drunk?

Ouch! I have had some fall out of my hand or roll of my desk onto a carpeted floor, only to hit a screwdriver or something sitting there. Ugh.

@bixby You're absolutely right. Perspective in all things.

@Vtory Sadly the tube is toast; at least it wasn't an expensive one.

@Thad E Ginathom This is a good reminder why most of my system is not tube-based... I'm a general klutz.

schedule the respite and stick to it. Also have pride in knowing those times when you are literally the only person in the universe that can deal with the things that present themselves at any given moment, with those present at that time. It is special work, and sometimes you're the only one who will understand how special that work is.

Thanks for the pickups, gang. I really appreciate them. Nothing permanent or unsolvable - just highly stressing. The respite will come; I just need to hold out for it a bit longer.

Sometimes life throws too many curve balls and the situation seems near impossible. It will get better soon.
