My animation is better because you can actually smell the becan cooking.

And I tend to like half of the opposite of the opposite. ? (Mogami - don't have any Canare)

Just like any other good plague throughout history. ?

Well, you certainly wouldn't want to be around one who didn't like becan!

Turn-about is fair play!

Oh I'm definitely not under-employed! It's just that start-ups usually don't make a lot of money right away (unless you're getting political kick-backs - yeah, I went there! - note that my issue with this happened in 2012, so I'm almost over it ?).

I know I mentioned this before, but I only ended up with a LOT of Monster cable (well over 100) thanks to a heads-up by a Guitar Center manager (who became manager mostly thanks to how much I bought from him! LOL). Some of you might know that Monster cable was the ONLY product in GC that they weren't allowed to discount (at least when I was putting together my studio). However, the manager called me right before their yearly Labor Day sale to let me know that they were going to blow out all remaining stock at 80% off only because Monster was changing the packaging! So I made sure I was pretty much first in line at the door, headed right into Pro Audio and bought all they had (well over $600 worth). After I had successfully escaped the store without being mugged by a couple of other guys who had also heard about the sale, I sorted them out at home and sold the ones I didn't want for a nice discount that still ended up making all the cables pretty much free. ? All of that said, my current preference are quality cords that have a braided, or flexible cover - not that hard plastic type (such as what Monster uses). I've found that I had FAR fewer cable issues since these tend to handle bending much better. YMMV! ?

Mesh's cable thread reminded me that, maybe, some of you haven't heard of this technique. It makes cable management much easier by removing knots. You can literally throw the cable out in front of you without having it tangle. Note that I don't recommend throwing audio cables out in front of you, but power cords are perfect for this! One of many nice YouTube videos on the technique. I can tell you from experience that you'll probably need to practice this for a while before it becomes second-nature. But it's worth the effort! ?

Heh, Bill's last post reminded me of this! ?

And today would have been BB's 94th birthday...

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ric-ocasek-dead-lead-singer-cars-was-75-1239832 He was 75. Wow, I never knew Benjamin Orr had died way back in 2000! I also didn't know that Paulina is only 54 (younger than me!). So there's still hope for me to find someone 20+ years younger, ya?

Nooooooooo!!! ?

This picture is fake! I can tell because, if it had been real, those dogs would have been turned the other way around. ?

Don't sweat it Bill. You're getting to that age where every time you see her will seem like the first time anyway! ?

Sorry Bill! Ironically, I think she looked better before...

Because I'm pretty sure Bill missed this (he was replying to my prior post when I posted it originally). ?

I was very disappointed to learn they are fakeys... Doesn't stop me from wanting to check them out, but, still... ?

"GAS flashbacks" Love it! ?

Does her arm stay like that all the time? ?

And the original! ?
