Yeah staff are still wearing them here. I hope I'm making their days a tiny bit better.

I did get a questioning comment and glance by a juvenile wanna be mgr. and I told him to mind his own business.  :roar:

The new work vests at Walmart are too hideous... if I was told to wear it, then by golly I'll wear it.... but the coloring? It makes me look like a technicolor rainbow.

 Kind of do not fully understand the whole cryo treatment thing, but I have some new cabling that has been cryo'ed (eBay, never thought I would win the bidding with my shithead lowball offer, but some people just need to sell off things, it seems) and wholly and Holy shit! Had them in five days now.
I am trying to convince myself that I am full of shit, but it is not working.

Now working metal, being cry'oed, like blades, spinning cutters, improvements make sense to me, but this is a pile of streaming electrons dancing in a rope. WTF!?!

My next test is to "live" with them for about a month or so. THEN change them out to what I had before. If I can still hear a difference after going back to the old Pro-Audio cabling, then I have much more to learn.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

From yesterday, there was a buggy whip on top of one of the water heaters in the basement I was working in :dunno:

Everywhere here lately, spotted one yesterday just below the house going after a rabbit around noon.

Told neighbor to keep a watchful eye on her little shi zui when she lets him out a little 4 ft cute picket fence isn't going to keep them out if they want to come in.

Rumour has it my brother want to come stay over Easter weekend. But let me guess, he won't ring ask anytime before good friday. He'll give me 24 hours notice.

Spring has sprung.

Daffodils blooming their asses off and after 2 days of rain everything is as green as an emerald.

Went out with Mom to get errands done... stopped at the Mexican Grocery Store near our house and got some goodies.
