What are You doing right now? (Pt 2)

[DirtDawg]

What the fuck?
Over?

One of my birds in my flock is having mood swings... and the mood swings have to do with the nest she keeps protecting (she already mated with the male in the cage, that's why she's laying on the nest)

Doesn't clear up "hiding,"  but I can imagine it is loud in there with the bird.

My brother kept love birds for a few years. It was always loud after a mating session.

Old doggie is doing much better. I believe he will survive this illness, what ever it was.
But he had an accident this morning and his poop was like smelly axle grease stuck in his fur.

We toweled him and hosed him, but in the end there was nothing short of giving him a massive hair cut to solve it all. Ugly!
It took over an hour, but I (we, my daughter and I) did it!
Now he looks like a completely different dog again. He's a cold weather dog and having his fur off will help him through the summer.
We do this for him every year, but I was hoping for another week or two of grace period.

He is such a good boy. He does his best to tolerate this nightmare. So do I.

It's done!

Starting the laundry and taking an Aleve for back pain.

Listening to Ghost in the Shell soundtrack(s)

[DirtDawg]

I am listening to a mono CD of "Revolver."  I built a Mono Stack!

Instead of having a massive pile of old pro audio gear stacked in the corner of my garage, sleeping, I now have some of it, facing outward and hooked up, making music.

I have wanted to build a floor to ceiling mono stacked cone wall for quite a while. In the past two days I have done so and the result is amazing.
It's not pure cones, though, using four HF horns and eight super HF bullets. I don't have enough JBL HF cones to complete what I am using down low. I hesitate to add third party gear, because this already works and I have just today got it going.

The "FACE" of the sound that I am hearing seems twice as high as the ten foot garage ceiling and maybe twice as wide as the entire garage.
I am sitting at my bench about fifty feet away and from what I am hearing, I expect to turn around and see a ten foot wide John face and a ten foot wide Paul face and a twenty foot tall Ringo kit. I am floating on what else Paul is doing and I can't point a finger at where ever George is; he is everywhere.

I had experienced this before, way, way back when I did this for a living, and I always knew that it would be fun to play with when I had the space. I have plenty of power on it, bi-amped, and that was the goal to get started. I wanted a large "whisper system."  At my listening level, the meters only barely move every few seconds and never even come close to the milliwatt marker.
I need to make up some cabling and I will have it all quad-amped without anything to add. I am using a stereo two way crossover and two stereo amps - nothing more to add. Quad amping will help with voicing. It's all running flat out right now, no EQ or anything. All JBL, but the JBLs are essentially flat anyway, but I should "voice the stack"  for even better sound.

You can't imagine how huge Johnny Cash sounds, the way his voice and guitar were recorded. It's all mono, but floor to ceiling large!

I keep hearing "you have to have stereo to have imaging,"  but I already knew better.

Jumping and running outside because of a weird noise.

Three yellow bi-planes just flew over in formation.

Airshow time!!

[DirtDawg]

Roasting five pounds of pecans from my mom's trees in four large cookie sheets on low heat.

I intend to oil (I use sunflower oil) them a bit while they are hot, salt them a tad and then "process" them with maple syrup my nephew made. I can't claim a family source for the salt and oil.
Now I wait.

I'm making pecan butter!

[DirtDawg]

Success!!!

Hiding is what I do when I don't want to be near large crowds.... especially when COVID hasn't officially "died down" yet

[DirtDawg]

Covid won't die down until we reach this prescribed  "herd immunity"  thing we keep hearing about.
That just means that everyone who is going to die from this is already dead. Dark, but true!

Yup. It's been added to a long list of things that can kill us. Covid seems to be less potent in its recent variants but I don't doubt we'll have another wave come winter.

This virus seems to mutate like nothing I have ever seen.

As far as I understand it's a fairly regular virus. It mutates like other similar viruses. Similar rate, similar everything. The difference is only in that we noticed because it was killing us.

It is a coronavirus and akin to many others of its kind. It's a reason to, or rather an example of, why the common cold is so difficult to avoid.

Exactly!

Procrastinating.
