Cooked a Tbone tonight for me and the missus. Hers has to be medium well and mine has to be medium rare so I give her the little side and I take what's leftover. Made a sauce reduction with the fond, more butter, and a dash or two of balsamic vinegar, In that reduction I sauteed some baby bella mushrooms. One of my better efforts.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F. Expecting 99°F later today. We caught a few sprinkles yesterday after topping out at 101°F. We may see more light precipitation between now through next week. Hope so.

Our basketball Cats play this coming Wednesday. Looking forward to it.

I've got nothing else. Y'all behave.

87°➫ 110°F Sunny, hot, & dry.

Good Morning D.

Happy Sunday to all you good folks.

I saw this on facebook and had to share it with Rooster. It is right up his alley.

 

[stenchymouse]

I might catch them at the state fair if they're going back this year. I'll be going at least a couple of times and probably three.

We'll be there on the 17th and 18th in the Bud Tent at 8:00pm

Sounds good. That Saturday will be the only time my wife will be able to make it. I may approach you and introduce myself if you don't mind. I would appreciate it if you don't offer me your autograph though, I don't accept that sort of thing as a rule. TIA

 

[ymmot31]

@UK82 OK, I have read every word written about the SL 220 on the internet and I have now watched every Youtube video. I may not ace the test, but I'll get an A.

Do you listen to MP3's at all?

Hey Bev, do you think you and Rob will be able to make it that night?

It's a nice TT and in good condition too. It has an Audio Technica cartridge (model ?) that doesn't have too much usage

I do listen to MP3s especially in the car from my tablet. Also Google Play Music is pretty much MP3. This is such a great time for audio/video. So many different ways to listen and watch. I get the benefits of most formats. I downloaded my entire CD collection in FLAC on jRiver jukebox. I also downloaded several hi-res albums. DSD too. Surprisingly the one piece of equipment I seldom use is my CD player.

I have a DAC that I no longer use and I had it hooked up the Project headphone amp I'm giving you. If you're interested I'll bring that along too. It's an Ol Dac from JDS labs.

Who are your favorite bands from back in the day? I've got an external hard drive with about 3600 rock and pop albums on it. Probably has every album ever recorded by the 60's through 80's groups.

Very rare for me to use my CD player either. I use USB in my car and just change the albums from time to time.

 

[ymmot31]

Bert:
TT = turntable
MP3 = digital audio format
FLAC = free lossless audio codec
DAC = digital to analog converter

hope that clears it up.

[Bkocats]

Beverly Brothers?

 

[UK82]

You lost me on that last paragraph.

Bert, if you're referring to the "DAC" in the last paragraph then it's an outboard digital to analog converter. All digital music has to be converted to analog in order to be heard. CD players, PCs, etc. have built-in DACs that are usually not all that great and can't always play hi-res (resolution) audio. That's where standalone DACs come into play. Better sound and flexibility in playing music.

 

[UK82]

Very rare for me to use my CD player either. I use USB in my car and just change the albums from time to time.

Like Bert that would be a long list but my 2 favorite genres growing up has to be Southern Rock (Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top) and Prog Rock (Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP). That really just skims the surface though because I love music in just about every genre. In fact my PC jukebox has around 25 genres in total.

Music for tonight:

While I was watching golf I made you a thumb drive with 90 albums of southern and prog rock. That's all it would hold. I didn't put any Van Morrison on there but I have 25 albums of VM. All digital of course.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Would have been easier to name those you don't like.

After I made that list my wife and I had a thirty minute discussion on the folks that I left out.

Simon & Garfunkle. How can you leave them out? \\many many others.

Wow! I'm speechless. Thanks so much!!! Looking forward to meeting you and your Dad Tuesday!

 

[ymmot31]

There are 15 Yes albums. I didn't even know they had that many. 15 Pink Floyd as well. I only got 4 Led albums on there and then ran out of room. I thought it was a 16 gig but it was only 8. If you want, or anyone else here for that matter, want to get at least a 1 TB external hard drive I will put all this music I have plus 400 or so movies. I think it takes about a day to transfer it all.

 

[starchief5]

Big welcome to stenchymouse.

Happy Sunday to all. Good time in Church today.

My first 30 years was spent in the Methodist Church about a mile from my house. And I suppose, and maybe wrongly, that I can be a critic of them. My mom still goes there. I think it was me and starchief that was talking about that a few days ago.

Anyway, On the Solid Rock I Stand. Shalom and FCC.

I also went to church this morning.

I attended a large Methodist church here in the Phoenix area a few years ago. It was one of the most beautiful churches I've been in. I was searching for a church with a traditional worship service (hard to find out West). Very little of the gospel heard there. Never went back.

Could one be an evangelical Christian and serve as a pastor in the UMC?

 

[ymmot31]

Was playing golf one Saturday about 12 to 15 years ago and there was a scramble going on. Every fourth hole or so they had a portable bar set up plus Hooters girls riding around on carts with alcohol and snacks. It was a scene, man.

Anyway, after a while I asked someone who they were and what was the scramble about. Chick told me it was a Lutheran Church. If I were going to go to a church, I feel like that one would be a good fit for me. Respectfully speaking. Of course.

 

[starchief5]

Do any of you use Spotify? There is a free version with ads and lower quality. The premium version for $9.99 a month is CD quality with no ads. Has about any music you can think of.

Big VM fan. Two of my favs are Too Long In Exile and The Healing Game.
