  • AC install setback.

    I have a faulty service valve on the low side of the compressor. It is leaking R410A when I uncap to connect my gages and lineset. If I try to pull a vacuum I will vacuum out the R410A. I called the company and they went on the blame game immediately. Saying I did something…

  • AC install

    I started the work to install my mini-split. The work is not very hard but with work and bad weather I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked. I have the indoor and outdoor unit mounted. The line set and communications wiring has been done. I still need to pull a vacuum…

  • Music on the move

    I really miss Roon when on the move. The interface on the Tidal and Qobuz apps are so clunky. I’m currently trying out USB Audio Player Pro with mqa support on Android. Doesn’t make the interface any better and search still sucks but it does add alot of configuration options not available without it. I’m…

  • In LIC today

    Doesn’t look like many people around here are taking the quarantine very seriously. I am keeping my distance and being very careful. Will go the park later in the day and check things out. If course I will take precautions and stay away from people. The weather is really starting to get warm. The pollen…

  • Summer is coming…

    Since I think I will be working from home this summer I decided to get a mini-split AC. I’m going to attempt to install it myself and if it goes well I will buy another one next year and do the 2nd floor. Been having problems with crickets this year as well. Since I really…

  • Lockdown day one…

    I was told to work from home going forward unless needed to support production in Mahwah. I’m taking advantage of the lack of a commute to listen “Diamonds” the new album from The Birthday Massacre. It was pressed on purple vinyl so it looks kinda jazzy. The recording level is quite quiet so expect to…

  • Toilet paper…

    I solved my toilet paper problems… All it took was a pandemic! I bought a bidet toilet seat. This thing uses technology to wipe and dry your ass. It even has a carbon filter to tame your stank. 😂 I got the same one as zeos of z-reviews on YouTube. If your interested I would…

  • Joined a record club

    Got this record by Power Glove… It’s a glow in the dark limited edition… It’s worth over $100 on discog! Which is way more then I paid! On top of that it’s pretty good! I do notice that it’s not a quiet as black vinyl but it’s not that bad. I joined because I wanted…
