I’m so bummed Artisanal seems to have gone out of busness. I got a hankering for cheese today and looked it up. Looks like the owner was trying to relaunch before Covid so not sure it it will come back now.

Have to find something else once the weather gets cooler. I think heavy hot cheese might not be the best summer food!

My amp is in California for an update/upgrade. I’m borrowing a Hegel from my dealer John. I really don’t like the sound of this thing. It’s harsh with a in your face presentation. I’m used to a very warm tube sound with zero feedback. This thing is the complete opposite! It does however look dead sexy in my rack and has the proper high-end pedigree.

This puppy runs stone cold. I think it must be a class D or H design. This might be part of the problem.. I’m more used to the class A or AB sound.

This amp is for someone, but just not me. I guess if you have a very mellow system this will kick it up and breathe in some life. My gear is very neutral and this just sounds harsh and bright.

If you like Deadmau5… who doesn’t or Lights, the two of them got together and put out “When The Summer Dies” it’s f’n awesome. Driving beat, the deadmau5 electric sound and Lights on vocals. Highly recommend if you like either.

Some Chinese English for you to ponder… 😬

Hope everyone had a nice 4th. BBQ’s and fireworks! I was able to watch the fireworks from LIC and enjoy some pulled pork Ying made for me. The security around here was crazy, FBI and tons of NYPD. Today was a lazy day for us, just walking in the park and farting around the house. NYC seems to be almost back to normal.

Anyone want to take some sporting clay classes at Orvis Sandanona shooting grounds? Should be fun. They can help fit you with the proper gun and teach the sport. Hit me up if your interested.

Been awhile so I figured I should make a quick post.

Building a pair of bookshelf speakers. Cabinets are done, still deciding on the wood to finish them in, leaning towards ebony. Crossover is done, not as neat as I would like but nobody will see it.

Also put up some lights in the living room. Yes, I know now that my Chinese New Years decorations are wrong… It’s the laowhy way… 😅

I’m thinking about putting up two rows of the same lights in the kitchen. They are a bit of a pita to put up but I like the end result.

Not much else new with me at the moment. Been busy with work and life. Will check in again a bit later.

December is here and this crazy year is finally winding down. Wow… Pandemic, elections, riots, toilet paper and hand sanatizer hording…. you name it 2020 had it! Anyway hope everyone is still safe and employed.

I’m back working every other week. I have been to NYC a few time for work and it has a crazy diffrent vibe. Totally nobody in the Google building… Kinda creepy when you figure how big that place is. Just waiting for the zombies now! 🤣

Been working on little projects at home. Getting lots done, latest one is a RO system for my drinking water. I don’t really like plumbing so it will be a challenge for me… Hopefully it will not sit around in the box for months. 🤣

I spent Thanksgiving here in Frenchtown. I was away from family for the first time ever during this holiday. I was exposed to a contractor that tested positive at work. I couldn’t really risk going even with my negative test until I waited. I’m clear now but I will be back at work next week.

Not much else going on… Just waiting for things to go back to something more normal… Doubt it will ever fully go back to how it was but something closer would be welcome.

This is what happens when you let tree hugging idiots push wind and solar over nuclear and traditional power
