Not today, but Thursday night, the northern lights made a return visit. Quite visible to the naked eye this time with pretty striking red and green hues across the whole night sky. Wild to see in southern New England. Today, replaced the rear brakes on the Volvo which my mechanic had said were "metal on metal". That was a slight exaggeration but the pads were down to the wear bars so it was time. The rotors actually looked pretty good (essentially no lip) but decided that it made sense to do them while I was in there since I already had the parts. I did not end up doing the fronts as they still have a good 1.5mm to the wear bar and the rotors look fine as well. I'll keep the parts on hand and plan on doing them next spring summer depending on how inspection goes in March.

Some more FB funnies

Maybe the best performance I've heard of the Beethoven Trios:

Almost bought one, did a bunch of research, if I was going to it'd be a Primo. https://www.primogrill.com

Blue Angels are Due at 15:00 PST On deck now

FWIW mine's been working just fine with daily use. But the question is, are the issues limited to the initial batch or are they still happening with new ones. I haven't heard too many new reports of it lately but all I've got to go on is stuff from the internet, I'm not in touch with vendors or anything. I hope they got this shit sorted out as I'd quite like to recommend these.

Catching up on what I missed last weekend. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass ... TV https://hardlystrictlybluegrass.vhx.tv/ Free to watch - I am watching Banjo Stage for Sunday - Specifically - Aoife O'Donovan & Hawktail I need to check out the Towers of Gold Stage that featured - DakhaBrakha But I will probably let thing just run a bit. https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/schedule Glad you could make out there @Grahame

Substitute "old man" and "in the 80s" and yeah that's accurate.

The last Beta Band concert before they split up. It'll be alright etc.

Wikipedia: "Danger Zone" is a song, with music composed by Giorgio Moroder and lyrics written by Tom Whitlock, which American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins recorded and released in 1986. ... In 1986, Moroder collaborated with his protégé Harold Faltermeyer (of "Axel F") and lyricist Tom Whitlock to create the score for the film Top Gun (1986) which included Kenny Loggins' hit "Danger Zone" and Berlin's "Take My Breath Away". He wrote the theme song to the film Over the Top, "Meet Me Half Way", also performed by Loggins. In 1987, Moroder produced and co-wrote Falco's song "Body Next to Body". Moroder wrote the official theme songs, "Reach Out", for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, and "Hand in Hand", for the 1988 Seoul Olympics and "Un'estate italiana" for the 1990 FIFA World Cup. etc. Not quite... but there's nothing Giorgio Moroder couldn't do when he set his mind to it!

This stupid earworm was as catchy 25 years ago as it still is today.

The Morrissey of that video, the more I like it.
