^ For when you need to hear those 10 hz. pipe organs. Even though the human ear can't hear that low.

R.I.P. Sophie.

I don't know? They'd have to be extremely deep pockets to fit all that gear. Doesn't look very portable to me.

My Brother and his wife have already set up her room with a new mattress and everything she'll want or need. He also had his Daughter set up a system to stream audio books for her. She can still read if she enlarges the font on her Kindle, but her eyes are deteriorating and won't improve. She's never had much interest in TV, but has always been a voracious reader. She hasn't been able to see well enough to safely cook for sometime now, so home cooked meals will be fully enjoyed by her. Just a great and happy situation for a Mother that would always step in front of my physically abusive Father, when he went way too far on his boys. She deserves this and way, way more. Even if she doesn't want to burden her children. And I fully believe that a situation that will promote better mental health can only have a positive effect on her physical health. Her Doctor thinks she has a matter of months left. That may or may not be true, but whatever time she has left absolutely needs to be happy time.

Recent update. My Mother has been in and out of the hospital lately because of her APhib, which also sets off her COPD. My Brother and I have been trying hard to get her to go live with him and his wife. They have room and time, since they're both retired now. His wife loves my Mom and has been trying to talk her down that path. My Mother can be stubborn, and is hell bent on paying off the portion she financed on her recent trailer purchase. My Aunt (who lives nearby) has offered to store the trailer on her property. So finally my Mother has realized that life would not only be easier, but more enjoyable. Her husband has become verbally unkind. He's just turned into an irresponsible, grumpy old man. I believe he is at the begging stages of dementia. So my Brother and his wife are driving from Arizona to Texas to get her on the 17th. She won't go before that, because her husband's only Daughter (who he's never had much interaction with) can't get there until the 16th to take him back to Alaska to live with her, because of an already scheduled vacation. She's a really wonderful person, and I've filled her in on what to expect. She says she feels obligated, even though he's basically ignored her from age 5. My Mother says that she'll tripple up her trailer payments, since she'll no longer have any bills to speak of. She wants to gift the trailer to me, once it's payed off. So I'll pick it up and use it upon retirement in a little over 4 years. I'm thrilled that she will be in a house filled with love for whatever time she has left. And she'll only be seven hours away for weekend visits.

Oh, I just thought you were showing a picture of Doug's house on a slow cat day. -
I got about $800 off of my S22 Ultra.

Oh, excuse me. I just always naturally assume that most people realize Samsung products are superior in every way. 🙂

I have some Samsung Bluetooth buds by AKG. They're pretty good, but I still almost always reach for my Astell & Kerns Billie Jean IEMs by Jerry Harvey. The detail is just better, and I don't mind the wires at all. More comfortable too.

That was my drag name.

B.C. yes. Washington, not so much.

Actually it's Candy Bench, but close enough.

Colin must be hiding there somewhere. -
Unless it's a Kid Rock album. Then I'll double her asking price.

That person has never had 'good' biscuits and gravy. I too have had restaurant versions I'd describe in the same way. -
That always sounds like Brent's erectile disfunction. Oh, and still not conflicted.

Stop painting on them, and just sell the damned records.

Right now is not a good time for Mitch to leave. ATM he's providing some of the only sanity in the GOP. His void would most likely be filled by a much more MAGA inspired replacement. I believe this is exactly the reason President Biden is running block for him. -
Those live plants are bound to leave rings on the top of those speakers! People putting stuff on top of their speakers drives me nuts.

So something to be avoided at all costs? Got it.

I know that Doug would like to see Roy Underhill.

I still don't know what a 'cunt' is!
