    Robbie Robertson has been dead since August 9, 2023, but he's always been Scorsese's favorite ... ;)

    What tv show are you currently binging?

    Started Manhunt last night. Hamish Linklater has GOT to be the worst "Lincoln" actor ever, but since he dies pretty quickly, thats mostly irrelevant ... Only 2 episodes have dropped so far (Apple TV) but the whole concept of it being a would be conspiracy to take out the President AND Vice...

    Birds - Post 'em up

    If Birds aren't real, that's a major improvement in animatronics from all I've ever seen. They look SO GOOD up close - ;) Just kidding!

    I am having a religious experience; Masters of The Air. Episodes 1&2

    And narrator for the the matched documentary, which is where his name arose. The Tuskeegee Airman were in last week's (8th) episode of Masters of the Air, and the 9th and final episode dropped Friday.

    Birds - Post 'em up

    I was doing yardwork out back, its been so nice, May in March as one TV reporter called it. Anyway, I sat down on our brick patio to have some water, and a young robin popped up and was so curious about me. It got very close - I could not resist. Had a young Dove act the same way last week -...

    Do Not Buy Mark Levinson 5101. Piece of Junk

    After a need to crawl behind my equipment rack presented itself more than one, I'd plug it into an extension cord or switchable power strip I could access it from the front or from the side so I could restart it without all that grief. Give yourself a break.

    I am having a religious experience; Masters of The Air. Episodes 1&2

    for me, its got NOTHING to do with his military perspective, its not a political thing with me at all. I've just gotten tired of seeing him in so many films. I think it started when I saw him in Forrest Gump, News of the World and the other thing with him and the robot ... There are plenty of...

    Storing Records In Order

    Yep, my classical recordings all go in a separate 3 or 4 crates at the end of the stack, next to the Celtic Stuff and the Worldbeat boxes. The tough stuff is someone like YoYo Ma, who does all kinds of music with all kinds of folks!

    Storing Records In Order

    ... wanted to see who was paying attention! You win!! That'd be under Sinatra ... just like his "Live at the Nixon White House" recording at the far right below. (Most of the single CDs formerly in Jewelbox cases have been moved into these CD sleeves that take up much less space, and hold all...

    Storing Records In Order

    So, I sort mostly Alpha by Group name - or by prominent lead artists (under Last name) in said band. The Beatles contains all the related Artists, (Harrison, McCartney, etc) and the related groups - Wings, etc. I have a bin for Canterbury Artists (Camel, Caravan, Kevin Ayers, Quiet Sun, Soft...

    Back yard and pond talk

    Its 73 degrees at 14:40 today, and its only March 13th! 40 Mins from downtown DC! But we saw 2 frogs at once, sunning on the rocks. Way too early!

    I am having a religious experience; Masters of The Air. Episodes 1&2

    We've been watching Masters of the Air this week - caught up all 8 episodes out so far. The matching documentary on the 100th Airborn is due on Apple TV+ March 15th - Hopefully without Tom Hanks (I'm tired of him as well).

    Welcome to AK! So, you joined an hour ago - perhaps you can tell us a bit about yourself and your interests, where you live, that kind of stuff, instead of rushing to the changing room?

    Well, I have 7 big speakers in the TV room (2 Pair of UREI 809As a pair of DCM TF600s, and the B460 18" sub). One pair of L212s and the Von Schweikerts currently in the living room, the other pair of L212s and the JBL Dynamics Project in our Meditation (storage) Room. A pair of little JBL...

    Well, well, well

    But, its got no big bouncing meters. ;( I don't need big blue meters, but the Fosi's gold meters do make a statement. And, if they were only asking $100, I might strongly consider it - for the grin factor alone, doncha know. But at $150, its taking itself a bit too seriously, so I'll have to...

    Okay so I cut down ChocoHaze plant #2 yesterday before I tried out the tent. After it was cut I cut 4 branch ends, dipped them in cloning gel, and stuck them in rooting pots under my kitchen grow lights. They haven't wilted yet - worst case is they dry up as is, best case, they start into new...

    Our house faces south, which is great for clearing front sidewalk ice in winter, but means the back windows face mostly North, and get no direct sunlight. Plus, that big window looks into this screened in back porch. So full sun there is not really an issue. Our long-term plan is to rebuild that...

    Yep - until I clear out our "Meditation Room" currently used as storage space (spare speakers and so much more), the only possible place to grow is there in the Multimedia room. The basement is too dry and temp varies like crazy. And frankly, I hate that the room is so dark with the big black...
