It is Chami 12th birthday tomorrow - I love my pups so much! Pure joy!!!!!

Gidget is Chamis twin sister - so birthday 12 tomorrow for her, also

Early afternoon here , warm, sunny , a little bit claudy but it doesn´t matter so far. It's getting to be time to get the pool ready for my teens, it's going to be a lot of work again. Draining 38,000 liters, cleaning the inside walls and the pool floor, connecting the pumps, refilling the pool. This always takes 3 days, but then we can use the pool until the end of September.

Your painting reminded me of of a shot I took several years ago. I was working in rural SW China and would stay over in Hong Kong for a few days on my way home - dazzling city, especially in contrast with the remote areas of China.

Busy weekend. walked around at the blacksmithing festival yesterday. Picked up some copper bracelets for me and the kiddos. Today buddies new grandson was getting baptized. They invited us over for an afternoon get together after mass. Lots of kids playing everywhere while we ate some good smoked pork, rice, and beans, courtesy of my buddies son. 5 of these munchkins are mine.

Who? The femailman? (from The Simpsons, of course)

Here’s a piece of silk embroidery that I bought when I got stranded in a small village in the mountainous area of the Guizhou Province - home of the Miao native minority.

Let’s keep this show on the road with another 3rd party compilation album from Germany- It cost 12.8 Deutsche Mark Also it has the short single version of Watcher Of The Skies on side 1, so that’s nice Artist - Genesis Title - Rock Theatre Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/release/6040008-Genesis-Rock-Theatre

no harm in that. You might have made her day. An unexpected kindness can change one's whole day. one reason I don't go to the supermarket... it turn into a social event and that lady wearing the white pants. I couldn't tell you anything about her face... I only saw.... um... remember her [from] behind. I almost felt guilty for watching her so intently..We were crossing paths every aisle. Then we were headed out the door at the same time.... I let her out ahead of me ... and she went down the aisle my car was parked in... I went a different direction..... and didn't go shopping foe several months. Honest. I was about to ask her if she took in strays

1985-Korea-Hooking cargo to a Chinook warms my heart...

no it's 14 Townsend

Just finished dinner ..made a thai curry with basmati rice and very spicy chicken, was delicious

A SCREEN PRINT version of the original Bob Peak Apocalypse Now poster.

Juan Carlos Ruiz Burgos, Il Buono, Il Brutto, Il Cattivo Screen Print...

What is that crazy duck saying 🤪

Memories that last a lifetime, like data on a hard disk. You only have to remember and the images of the past are alive again. Same with my visits at Hong-Kong´s Victoria Peak by day and at night. Even the journey to Victoria Peak was an experience with the tram

Congrats. They are already sipping on them red cups eh?

3 are easy to find....good looking crew.... the other 2 must look more like you....jk jk

I really like that... I have this pic from HK on my office wall.

ok I know when I'm not wanted.. I'll hand with the other disc...!

better your taster than your toaster

I was in Malaysia many times as well , of course in KL, but more in Georgetown which is in on the Island Penang . As I like Street Art from local artits I bought some batic paintings at the beach of Georgetown. They hang in our dining room

I've had a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III since January running my Heresy 4's and don't hear any noise. Now, I have read that Rogue updated the CMIII to virtually eliminate the noise that existed on the CMII.

Two Jeremy Mann prints... probably at least 50 colors/layers (maybe more) in each print.

I've been dying to see something like this in person and now I have the chance... I got tickets this morning and can't wait.

A couple of vintage Jo Mora posters. The “Cowboy” one is an advertising piece from the 70s and may look familiar to any Byrds fan. The “Indian” one is from the 1930s I think.

Another piece from our weekend place. Very cool 3D Montana map metal sculpture - completely done with different welding rod and flux for coloration.

A piece of 1930s colored-pencil ledger art at our getaway place.

Got this painting on silk at a tourist-trap in the Forbidden City

sounds like more fun than the way I had to clean pools, before the beginning of the season. We had to sandblast them to get rid of the black algae

unless you have a woodstove like mine. Came with a warning that it may get hot during use. If it doesn't, hey folks, we have a wood fired refrigerator

Thanks for the kind remarks. I’m glad they are going to someone that will appreciate them.

They are the loves of our lives. We have incredible bonds together and they are our priority, always. Glad it shows.

I get what he’s saying. Some speakers, especially monitors or slim towers can have pinpoint imaging. But who’s to say if that’s better? I will take realism that horns can create over exact imaging any day. I’ve had speakers with a deeper soundstage and more defined imaging. But LaScalas are some of the best Heritage speakers at that to me. It’s just not what they are best at.

I remember my mom telling me that we bought that home new in 1963 for $16,000

Like that Live At Pompeii! Sonically, first rate! Beats cutting grass😘

Your neighbor ?

the seventies...

We are in the playoffs and captured this bit of fun the other night.

Sold.

Were there any rules prohibiting more cowbell? 🤣

I fully know that it’s a good deal your offering,’ but the wife holds the purse lol And that’s the only reason I have a pot to P in

Yes , wonderful

Feeling blessed to live in such a beautiful area. These sunrise photos are all from out my front door.

This is a job for Mr. Fourier. The ideal way to figure this out isn't guessing, it's a matter of finding which part of the timbre is missing or accentuated. Find a recording of say a solo Cello, preferably a sample with a single note held as long as possible. An instructional video or something along those lines might be what to look for. Even if the note played is only a measure you can put it on a loop in the recording software program. Pretty much all of these digital recording software programs have an FFT analyzer and this is what will help you find the missing pieces. Play the recording and view the timbre in the software via the FFT analyzer. Keep a screenshot of this profile. Now play the Cello through your system and use a mic to record the speaker output. Now run that through the same recording software with the FFT analyzer and compare the two. http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/~simond/pub/2011/Chudy-Dixon-GfKl-2011.pdf
