Wife didn't get me anything fun ... an electric blanket. I'll use it... but it's not FUN.  I enjoy getting toys, still.

Your right, I love mine, if nothing more than to keep the bed warm when I get in, if cold it stays on the #2 setting. Fun no enjoyed yes, I love a warm bed in a cold room.

Uh yes, UPS looks like Santa Clause to me, I don't care how long it takes in shipping, just knowing it's on the way is good enough.

Howzit all?

 

  I'm no fun. Decided to try to rid myself of a "Have to do" instead going with a "Wanna do"... Foregoing the trip to the stereo shop. Settle for paying the deductible on the car repairs. Maybe spring for a fishing license... Whoooooopeee  A practical hobby. If I'm successful, we eat good. It's not too tough catching enough bluegill, even from the bank, to make a couple plates.

 

  Back to Sumatran beans. Light roast. I do enjoy a cup of darker roast on occasion.... light roast is my preference. Did Kona medium/dark for a week and was very ready to get back to my regular

Mornin' all

About mid afternoon for me. Got up at 2...AM. By the time wife got up, I've had breakfast. Beans, eggs and fresh bread... which I put in the machine, since I was up.  Downed a pot of coffee.

 

 Haven't experienced that intermittent since I was set to do something about it. I hate intermittents. I did install some drivers in the programming. I think... I'm really, really dimass where computers are concerned.

Did any of you watch the Jeopardy match against Watson? Some of the clues sent that computer into a tail-spin. That's how I think most of the time. Not too linear.. as I ramble along.

I'm with you on that, I hate when the music cuts out I recently had a computer problem, I thought, but it was just me not knowing what was going on.

 

I use a laptop to stream music and it was connected through the headphone jack. I wanted better quality and the laptop had a HDMI output so I hoped that would help. I connected the HDMI and was happy, it was better quality but about 15 minutes the sound would cut out. I downloaded updated drivers hoping that would help but no luck.

 

One day while playing with it I happened to be standing right there when it cut out and I seen what happened. What was going on was when the computer screen went to sleep/off the music switched to the laptop speakers and not the stereo. For some reason it sleeping stopped the HDMI connection and sent the music to the computer speakers. 

I set that sucker to not sleep and everything is fine, it really is a better connection for sound quality, one less conversion from digital to analog and back to digital. It mad a pretty good difference.
