He says it's some nonsense about not being a hot dog... but I still say it's a hot dog. **BRENT**

Good vibes headed your way, HPA et al. **BRENT**

Damn, Larry. That sucks. Hope the meds are treating you well and the doctors treating you even better. Good luck to you and your daughter. **BRENT**

Pulled muscle and quadrupling the dose of meds I had him on, plus a heating pad... seems that's about all that can be done. I took the time to try to get my APAP (FINALLY), as the place I was going to go through was just 30 seconds down the street from his doctor (they're 25 minutes away from the new place). Well, after multiple phone calls to insurance and the center, I find out that the former employee started the authorization, never finished/submitted it, but filed it under "Done." It take 7-14 BUSINESS days to go through, too. (This was supposed to have been started on 11/14). Needless to say, I wasn't happy. The sleep center people apologized profusely, and are going to work on pushing through a rush order with insurance to get everything approved. Yep, that's about how it goes. Xavier, however, seems to be in good spirits and is being a trooper. **BRENT**

On my way to doctor with a son with a gimpy leg. This is day two after some normal treatment options didn't work. Good times. Hope yours gets better soon, Salty. **BRENT**

This makes me so happy. The only time I want a mouse is when I game, but hands are constantly between mouse and keyboard at work all day. This would make me at least 7% more efficient. I need a doctor's note. **BRENT**

I have Windows 8.1 on my laptop. I log in, Metro pops up, I hit the windows key or alt+tab, and I don't see metro again until I lock my machine or sign in again. I really don't get what the big deal is. **BRENT**

A buddy of mine brought his daughter (who's a friend of Zoe's) out to catch the concert, and he snapped a quick pic of Zoe and me at the top of the concert hall. Here's a knee-high view of us on stage; thankfully I was hidden from view on this one (2nd row, center). **BRENT**

Played in a Christmas concert with the Mid-South Symphonic Band. We're up to around 75 members now. Local high school has a new fine arts center with 1200 seat theater and a band room that rivals collegiate band rooms I've seen... Including a hall of individual practice rooms. That'd be nice. I may have video and/or audio soon. They are set up to record audio somewhat professionally. These kids have it good. **BRENT**

Raffy's spot is just outside the tent adding an extra layer of protection from mosquitos, right? **BRENT**

That's hot! **BRENT**

I get one song at a time issue on Android if I do songs, but I just click on album instead. Listen to music so much lately. I hope they don't have Colin music. **BRENT**

I hate you all, except Shelly. **BRENT**

Heh. I'll see what I can do. Not sure when I can make it, but I'll do what I can. **BRENT**

Ken, that's about the price of a hardtail with those specs, before tax. That is a really nice bike for that price, and I'd be happy with that if you're wanting a dual suspension. If you were looking at a 5 or 600$ dual suspension bike, it would be something 5-6 pounds heavier on clearance from like, Dick's. I say buy it. **BRENT**

Whoa! Tom, just saw this! I'll have to try to come crash the party before you head out. **BRENT**

That wasn't torn a new one at all, CJ. I've gone deeper than that (though in different ways, as I'm not into PP much, and this guy is pretty well versed). Looks like he made some good points. **BRENT**

Never heard of it. Is that loaf of bread considered a biscuit? **BRENT**

Dude... I haven't noticed the date in a few days (my work is always a week or two behind), so totally missed this. My bad. Happy belated b-day, SO! **BRENT**

Back and forth on same song with Spotify and Tidal. I'm canceling Spotify. **BRENT**

Lorde - Pure Heroine is free on Google Play right now as well. https://play.google.com/store/music/album/Lorde_Pure_Heroine?id=Bt3wef6icrzkkw2n24nfq53yrwy **BRENT**

1) It's 40$ more (you're already paying 10$ for Spotify, so if you drop it, Tidal is just 10$ more). If you download what you want before hand, you should be good. Is there a 5-10GB option for say, 10$, that you could go to? It's possible that you could get what you *need* for 20$ more. I still have the 20$ unlimited plan, and it's pretty nice; totally worth it. It looks like the 30$ unlimited plan includes a Rhapsody unRadio subscription, if that means anything to you. It looks like 2 extra gigs is 10$ and 4 extra is 20$. The 10-30GB I quoted earlier is what I'll do in a month if I'm doing a LOT of streaming, mainly Netflix and downloading quite a bit of stuff on Spotify and Audible. I guess it really depends on how much you want to have, and what you think you can live with downloading at home before you go out. **BRENT**

That's because I'm an interesting my, my friend. To me, it's just much more engaging. Perhaps it's an EQ difference, perhaps it's something with my phone that likes FLAC over MP3, perhaps there's some deep seeded elitist audiophile value lingering from years before I quit caring about FLAC vs MP3, where I've said MP3 is "good enough" for what I listen to. I'm not quite sure what it is, but I definitely hear more stuff and it's been more interesting. I've even heard details that I've never heard before. I don't think they aren't present in the MP3, but this is stuff I've listened to for ten years, and I've never heard it before... a second voice or tertiary instrument that was buried in the mix, blended in, but now they're pretty clear. I have the CDs, maybe I'll lug a CD player and headphone amp to work and set up a rig to kinda see if I can hear this other stuff. Shelly, buy a PC. By "install the app", are you talking Mac or phone? (I"m not aware of a non-phone app.) Did you try a different browser? **BRENT**

Well, I've downloaded and streamed a crapload of it to my phone, I guess I could check to see file sizes. *does math* I have 188 files taking up 4.9GB (5,299,605,503 bytes). So that averages like, what, 29 MB/song on average? (Randomly clicking details on the songs shows 14-33MB/song, so I guess that's about average). It's not labeled as FLAC files, but wonder if I could rename something to *.FLAC to see if I could get more details. **BRENT**
