Shot this morning. Just an iPhone 6s+ pic, as usual. Some early bloomers. A Mustard plant, I believe. Original pic was 3.8mbs. Reduced to fit.

Speaking of Birds of Paradise, one shot in the neighborhood.

$20 bucks for steamer basket, is robbery.😀

If you're going to sell them, don't do anything to them that cant be easily undone. What amp or receiver are you using?

Here is a pretty decent review of the Tone. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/khadas-tone2-pro-review-dac-amp.20684/

Guess I should have done some more research and found out who composed the version with Ella and Louie.

just landed on this older vid that some might find of interest. A million strong record collection.!

I have listened to Summertime, at least a 1/2 dozen times in the last day or two. I find the song almost perfect, the lyrics, the orchestration, the vocals, the relaxed easy pacing, just beautiful. The composer, having such an understanding of music and what appeals to the ear and brain. The rise and fall of the horns, the strings in the background, the bass line, even the little stringed flourish at the end, which i assume is a harp. As I've forgotten who created it, looked it up. Its from the play Porgy and Bess, composed by George Gershwin, back in 1935. I guess that explains that.👍

Agreed, her voice has such clarity and smoothness, without a hint of grain, like no other.

One more.

I have this on disc, but was listening to their songs on Tidal last night. 👍

I don't think its fair, to be able to dunk a basketball while still standing on the floor. 🤔 Lol. 7 foot 9." Wow. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9316291/7ft-9in-Nigerian-hopes-NBAs-tallest-player-Shaq-shared-viral-footage-him.html

Thats a nice looking pair of Epics.

Yes, I was curious if you had internet besides the phone. Can you get T-Mobile in your area. If a phone is the only option right now, might be something to explore. They do have unlimited plans and at a good price. If you put 4 people on a plan, it is $26 per person. It looks like they have unlimited standard def streaming as well. I have a similar plan myself. https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/essentials

Been listening to a little Leonard Cohen as of late. "You Want it Darker".

Some winning pics from a photo contest for perusal. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/escape/article-9311773/The-incredible-winning-images-inaugural-Frank-Hurley-Photography-Awards.html

On So. California's Craigslist. A bit of a mixed bag, I'd say. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ele/d/santa-ana-vintage-klipsch-cornwall/7284776409.html

What is the actual download speed of the internet service you have? Have you ever connected a Roku device via ethernet to the router you do have?

Hmm, drug side effects, humans in white coats, playing around in labs, being pushed by their bosses to win the government contract before the other guy. What can go wrong. Lets ask Alan.

From what I've read, while Apple and Android phones can open Tidal's MQA files, you still need another device that unpacks it for the true MQA file to be played.

Speaking of dishwashers, my parents have a Bosch machine. I believe the cycle takes about an hour. That is a long time. In my younger days, I worked in and ran big kitchens and bakeries in a resort type living. We fed several thousand people per day, which generated quite a few dishes to be washed. We used commercial dish washers, both conveyor types and ones in which you slid a tray into it and pulled the doors down. This machine had a wash cycle of 90 seconds! The dishes come out very hot and within a minute or so, are completely dry. I have often thought about an under counter commercial version for the home, but never followed up on it. These machines even draw from a detergent supply on their own, so you don't need to add soap each time you use it. I dig a 90 second wash. A real time vid of a wash cycle in one. A bit dramatic, but you get the idea.

Now, that's a tube. https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/ele/d/long-beach-vintage-vacuum-tube-hydrogen/7280968910.html

Will you throw a pic up of the Raspberry? Did you add any top hats to it or add extra inputs?

Anyone catch or record the new Superman and Lois series first episode? Just in it about a 1/2 hour. The Man of Steel is now:

Another thing about the Usher, It was one of the only speakers that I remember seeing, that I had to go up to and touch. Had to Run my hand up that sloped top. It was smooth, man.
