I had two scrambled for breakfast. Feel like a rich man

That's the dog's food, actually. Hers is upstairs which would require actual effort to get to, so the dog's food is good enough.

Ah okay. Poor dogs

Finnegan is pleading for tortellini’s for dinner.

Finnegan probably has a taste for Alfredo sauce. But no heavy cream...!

I am in that boat. Got distracted with obsessive reading on high-end telescope mounts and associated doo-dads and started this morning over 230 posts behind!

No worries. Schiitheads, like the stars, will be here when you're ready. What mount?

I melted a cable when it touched a hot tube. I also had some leftover striped maple. So I made these cable management devices. My wife approves of the tidier look. But if anyone is wondering they did not change the sound even one bit. To change the sound you need striped maple from the shady side of the mountain, and the little plastic gizmos need to be carbon-impregnated. Unless you prefer boron-impregnated. On the left of the photo is a Schiit stack and on the right is an ancient Magnavox tube amp.

I read somewhere the boron-impregnated cable stands sound a bit brighter, a bit "metallic". Yes, I see what I did there.

When Cookie wakes up she'll be hungry, so this is the most efficient place to sleep.

Our fat, stupid cat (as opposed to our skinny sort-of-smart cat) often sleeps like that. He's a complete sweet heart, just copies off the Scarecrow's test papers.

There's a long-running thread on the astronomy forum I frequent called "What Did You Work On Today". Kind of like @Paladin79's posts. My audio-related "what did you work on today" is:

My initial attempt to replace the surrounds (so thoroughly dry rotted they had disappeared in a small pile of dust and fragments) failed. Finding a suitable drop-in replacement didn't pan out, either. So I made these "sub-baffles" to mount these smaller-than-OEM drivers to. Having speakers in the garage again made today's astronomy projects more enjoyable. Coincidentally "La Villa Strangiato" was on my DAP...

These new drivers are more "bass suggested" than bass shy. Of course, they're only 5-1/4". Using the bass tone control on my Cambridge integrated adds a bit; makes them Plucky Little Aspens. However, too much bass boost turns them into Flatulent Elms of West Riseland.

I need to work on that. I was not happy with the outcome so splines. I can still do splines.

That's good. @bcowen said you had some 'splaining to do.

Lovely workmanship there

Would you expect anything less from a man that fuels his shop heater with his B stock creations?

I seem to remember back when I joined Head-Fi (OMG, it's been over 10 years ago) that much of the Schiit Audio digital discussion took place over on Mike's thread. That was back when he was posting more often.

I joined this forum in 2002, so much has happened since then!

I really appreciate the sense of community that has developed in this thread.

Agreed. I really like this thread and those here …. I just can’t keep up with it!! If I were to comment on most things I care to…it would be 6-10 pages late already. Maybe when I retire (if that ever happens)
But yes, seems like there’s some good people here.

Tom Verlaine gone, schiits getting real and I’m getting old. Loved and still listen to Marquee Moon.

But then all your time will be consumed by naps. Just ask @Paladin79 .

Re: Eggs...I've had to give up expensive whisky in order to keep eggs in stock.

I have a family of five, eggs are still a relatively cheap protein full of good fats, vitamins and minerals, when compared to beef at least.

I'll keep cutting out other expenses before I give them up.

Luckily I like Ancient Age way more then say Basil Haydens

No more soda here. $10 a sleeve for coke. Should be drinking water anyway. And Bourbon. (Well separate from the water)

He is learning from Finnegan.

I should probably be reaching out to my neighbor for free-range eggs, their chickens wander into my yard anyways. Haven't thought about dipping into owning chickens yet (got multiple acres for them, travel too while the site is under construction).

I solved the nap issue by sleeping 10 hours a night, or more. I think I need to wake before 9:00 AM in February but I am working on that. No sense getting up if I don’t have to.
