The smoke is still around. The heat is making it hard to fight the fires. More evacuations. 9th largest fire on record. We’re fine here. My car is covered in light soot. Thanks for checking in.

Ugggh, take care

Thanks. We are a long ways away. The wind is blolwing the smoke towards us. It’s a huge fire. Loss of life. Barely contained.

Let's try that again... @philipmorgan

Would be cool to join if I can! ...though with a 8 month old, free time is hard to come by

We make beer up here!

I've listened through the "Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time"...album by album, song by song. It was so much fun I repeated it a year after the first round, but from top to bottom. Then a third time when the latest list came out. Recommended.

Free as a Bird is on one of the Anthology discs. Real Love is the other John Lennon song on the Anthology set. Lonely Love I’m not familiar with.

Duh yes, its Real Love not Lonely Love. Thanks mate.

Multibit, BW2 and HD600 are an intoxicating combo. Late nights indeed...

@jowls Yes. Intoxicating is the perfect word. And the rig sounded great too!

Dat thickness

You bought that setup for your pets? Wow!

Yeah. It’s hilarious when the cats all start singing “Dogs” together.

I’ll bring this pair.

Take your KSC75s along as well. I'd be interested in experienced comment on my conclusion that the 75s are HD600 to the PortaPros' 650.

I will bring them as well. Just look for me at the cheap bastid table!

I didn't want to believe it but my $50 CD player sounds better than my Mac Mini feeding my Modi MB

I didn’ want t believe it either. Feeding my Gumby with the CDP spdif out just to be clear.

I didn't want to believe it when, nearly twenty years ago, my then-new RME sound card beat my then 600-GBP Cyrus CD player hands down. Mind you, I was never entirely satisfied with its rather dry sound

Just ordered this, looking forward to it:

@Melvillian - If you haven't read Dune, you've been missing out. Herbert was the Grandpappy of modern SciFi, the rest of HIS series was also pretty good.

Admittedly, I haven't read any Clark. O_o

Dude. I’m bringing some books up.

Apple is worse. It happens and your device is dead. With a Windows machine you can still fix the thing in some cases. Either way a B.S.O.D. is unpleasant.

Thanks everyone. I just did a back-up of the music two weeks ago. I kind of knew it was about done. Little things. After 35 years with PC’s you just know. Time for a new toy.

Thanks @Elnrik for the kind offer. It’s soooo old, not worth the time. Wal-mart special I bought for jury duty. Surprised at how long it lasted really.

I though drinking made the clothes dry faster. Some physics related alcohol science stuff, or something.

It did make them dry faster. I washed them in ethanol. Only problem was the gas dryer.

@Elnrik, for those still working the problem with Monday is that it is way too far from Friday :)

Would you lock the door

@Koth Ganesh did you intentionally substitute "head" for "hair?"

Thad, for me same difference

corned beef and cabbage with mustard is on the menu. I was trying to keep things low carb but I want my Guinness!

I dunno anymore. Low carb, high carb,.... all I know is I want some corned beef.

Ahhh... would that I could speak as someone /under/ the age of 64!

Work BS done, G&T in hand and hound nearby. I toast your well-deserved day off!

I did. It was dropped on cement. Actually I had a double case around it. Wife doesn’t have good luck with with I-stuff.

If your Dell works right now, why not replace the hard drive with an SSD? Silent and fast, and with some cloning software and USB adapter should be an easy swap (assuming your Dell can be taken apart, which it most likely can)

I have a high end HP Elite with an ssd in it, just not sure how big it is, should I check, would sell in the $200 range.

Ah the joys of extended weeks. I'm on call all weekend, but at least the dogs at home are better office mates.

Home now. But probably going in tomorrow for a few hours. Finals were Friday. Grades due Monday. And new term starts. No choice really.

Take care, I hope there will be good coffee.

He tried to tell Theresa that and look what happened to her. Although Dolores whispering to Teddy “this is our world” may preclude him telling them anything. Maybe the surrogate is alive.

God I can't wait for the new season.

Looks like we will be paying a visit to Shogun World. Watching all 10 episodes in one sitting really was an experience.
