Went and looked at Motorcycles.

Thanks everyone. I did in fact enjoy buying myself tons of gifts. Nice change up from the normal days when I just buy myself tons of stuff.

Happy Birthday Mike.

Don't let them fool you Shelly, they are just short racers at the moment and have no way to go around corners without random cars to smash into.

Not worth the effort Shelly. This crew is perhaps the least capable race car drivers that has ever existed. I would not be surprised to hear most of them actually do not have steering wheels as they all simply just crash into each other the entire race to get around corners. Full speed, no brakes smash into each other to get around corners and repeat. ?

I put on my investigator hat and solved the case of the missing trash can lid. For those still on the edges of their seats. The lid was found and using an 8’ Heavy swimbait pole rigged with a GoPro case I was able to cast, first try, the case right into the middle of the floating lid and reel it back to the edge of the lake where Kasia retrieved it with a stand up paddle board paddle.

Easily, the worst thing about the Sony is the operating system, especially if you like to do Netflix, etc. All of mine are so full of garbage Android shit that you can not even add the apps for the other services. Had to go through and delete a ton of android shit just to add Disney+ a couple of weeks ago. I like the advanced screen/sound setup options in the Sony more than the LG as it allows for pretty nice setup of the TV, Also, the weird speakers through the screen thing with some of the Sony models actually sound dramatically better than any TV I have ever owned. Never even turn the HT Martin Logan speakers on anymore.

I have actually replaced all my LG OLEDs now with Sony's. I got what appeared to be darker areas along thin lines in the middle of the screen on two. As they all seem to use the same panels as the Sony, I have to assume it might be assembly quality. I hate the shitty operating system on the Sony but the picture is much better and so far no issues on any of them. Whatever Sony does with the picture seems to be better for me.

Beef Belly I think. Duck was tasty but not enough fat. Lamb was a bit too salty, fucking Mexicans. They were all outrageously good and better than anything that loser Brent will ever eat Because Brent is a worthless person.

Did you people buy all of his nuclear weapons before I even had a chance?

Grass fed tenderloin from the Coyote, mushrooms and onions and tomatoes for a break from house guest preparations.

I have both at the moment but I tend to use Qobuz more. Only really use them through the Sonos interface so not really any difference in interface for me, Qobuz just always shows up first on my search results and there are more playlists coming into Qobuz that I would listen to compared to all the Beyoncé shit on Tidal. What I never use is my lifetime subscription to Roon as it is on a NAS now and terribly unreliable. Need to move it all to a workstation as I remember liking it more then the Sonos app for controlling the house audio.

Hate my Orbi system. Have almost thrown it away at least three times. Will replace it soon with something that actually knows how a router is supposed to work and can work with a camera that is in direct line of site 18 feet away without constant dropouts. Not to mention our iDevices are routinely dropping from the Orbi to some of the Extremes I have running to actually have a somewhat usable WiFi in the house.

Happy Birthday.

Happy Birthday Carl

I have one on my desk now for listening to the various JH Audios. I think it is worthwhile for $400.

Happy Birthday Jim

Truffle and Bacon potato salad. Why isn’t all potato salad made this way?

We looked at those. The neighborhood party had 5 of those set up for pizza and it was awesome. I really want a huge pizza oven, mostly for the aesthetics, but wanted to try it out cheap on the BGE first before dumping 15-20k into a pizza oven.

I am lazy, Trader Joe’s pizza dough with garlic and herbs. It was quite good.
