co-worker telescope - around 90%

Never have I seen it - looked and could not find. -- but some cover images (you probably found) - https://goo.gl/XKMuLm lots of circles. But, it really looks like the results of a prop department. Of course, I always look at scotch bottles in shows/movies - they are almost always fake.

listening to Tubes....

Mo jazz this evening, smooth jazz

I have not worked out the distribution for the bay area yet - but Fax is on...

New Shape - new Method. Testing out Batards (oval) - and baking with steam (Using cast iron and lava rocks to create a lot of steam - like a sauna) Results are coming along... This is an Oat flour/Spelt Flour mix - at 72% hydration - steamed for first 20 minutes of bake (total 55 minutes) on baking stone. Second loaf Super crispy.... So that is all nice and such..... But even the great mikeymad baker makes mistakes as well (learning opportunities) During my first steam last week - I used a new grain and way too high of hydration (water in loaf). So it spread out fast, as soon as it hit the stone. -- ran off the sides and back of the stone as it 'baked' I baked them all the way ... And ended up with tasty alien spaceships!!

Hey Steve's "What are you powering those B&W 802s with Mikey?" From the UK. Exposure Super XVIII solid state amp. Pretty basic, but lots of headroom. The WE300Bs, used in the preamp, makes the amp sing. I was very sad when I was unpacking some tubes, that I broke one of the JAN 6SN7s from the 50s that tied it all together. Need to do some shopping. The substitute tubes are okay, but too noisy.

It wasn't, until we mounted the t-table on the wall. Now there is dancing.... [emoji229] [emoji227]

Main rig back up after move... finally... First was bill Then Branford And Ludwig

Argh.... - and thx

Cheers Mike! - Happy Birthday

Cheers Birgir - bake yourself a cake -- -Happy Birthday...

I spend about 4-6 hours of my day at work with my ETY's in.. a lot of the time with nothing playing. I am a big fan of isolation, and I know that IEMs are not for everyone, but they do the trick. (in they go -> goodbye cruel world)
