[WeepingGuitar]

Folkvangr, Gungnir 2, Mahler’s 2nd, Rattle and CBSO.
Pretty darn decent as Friday nights go.

Beautiful. Best nightlight. Tubes may be my next can of worms. Cheers.

Happy Saturday (or Sunday if applicable)!!

Good Morning, Head-fi friends!! I'll be out and about most of the day today (it's a beautiful day) but wanted to get ya'll started with a classic and what I consider John Coltrane's best album.

Just back from a yard sale, the widow of an audiophile hosted it. I acquired some early Savoy Brown, Springsteen, and a master recording of Jackson Browne’s The Pretender on vinyl. All records in amazing condition.

A little bleary from the Friday night lights in Denver, good end to a great evening that started with a Cavs win (not an Indiana game this time), followed by a heck of a Nuggets win.

It is vexing to have to get approval for anything visible from the outside. All the paperwork to replace the windows: contractor license, architectural drawings, etc, etc. OTOH, it does ensure a degree of quality uniformity.

FTFY.

Flooding continued over-night, it’s not too bad, small puddles over maybe 150 square feet. It’s way slower this AM thankfully, just did 20 gallons to “catch up”. Rain has stopped, so it won’t be much longer. For those who’ve been here it’s the area immediately under my suspended power amp and back into that corner. Thankfully didn’t get into the wine cellar

I'm sorry to hear that. My parents house cellar was flooded several times. Last time was about 4 or 5 years ago. Just 5cm but unfortunately many items had contact with the floor...

I remember that last incident particularly well because it was a nice summer day and I was on a bike trip visiting them. There were some dark clouds on the sky and I was like "little rain can't hurt". Luckily they didn't live on the street where I entered town. Each time one of my pedals were in the lower position the shoe was completly submerged.

Since I was already soaking wet when I arrived, I didn't hesitate to enter the well next to the house to get the backup pump running again and prevent further flooding.

Yeah I’ve had worse. Late house in Mass (2004-2018) had a big finished room in basement: my man cave with stereo and records. THAT was an issue and mess. Put in a big dedicated sump pump. House before that in Southborough came with a sump pump that we didn’t know about. It was plumbed to output into the septic system, a HUGE bug. We had early leach field failure and that cost $40k because #Massachusetts.

Always something. Will be contracting soon for a sump to be put in.

Just found out from our local nursery that we’ve had 8” (20cm) of rainfall over last 8 days. Streams are a humpin’ that’s for sure.

Tuesday to Thursday it will be back down to the high 80 s so bring a sweater.

My band was playing in Tucson back in Summer of 1975 and I remember the weather as being quite pleasant.

Cheers!

That's a trip down memory lane!

Is The Pretender the MFSL pressing?

Yep, think $25 was too much?

Nope. Very fair price as long as the inner stiffener and rice paper sleeve are included.

They are. She also has a Dark Side of the Moon but did not bring that one out. Depending on version it could be worth big bucks.

FTFY.

There's that. I was thinking specifically of ensuring that the contractor doing work is a licensed professional.
I had a home that was clearly "upgraded" by a "cousin of a cousin" on the cheap....
