Should be fine with that Drew. If both had optical in/out, you could go with a cheap optical cable.
There's always these cd players..... LOL

Still raining...and tomorrow too.
We have had close to 5" of rain in the last few days. But just a few miles southwest of us, they've had up to 11" and more is coming towards Lagrange.
Helogabals, where are you?
Wonder how Eric is doing in his little shire?
My orpington chickens have basically stopped laying eggs. Only have 3 left. Partly to cold, but probably they are in their 2nd year of laying. Wifey not sure if she wants more due to the care needed as chicks. Miss the eggs though. Maybe wifey will change her mind if I buy enough plain old store bought white eggs...
Saw a meme about going to Costco for a $5 rotisserie chicken and $357 later going home in the SUV.
Prayers for our team, especially those in need. For Ukraine and Israel too.

I have a Motorola Android phone with a stylus ($200) that I can use to jot down notes....on Cricket (using ATT network) we have unlimited everything and it's only $25 month per person in our family. My phone is older and only uses 4G, so I think I saw a new 5G model for $129 plus $30 fees.
How's that for cheap?

Morning all, 34 going to 43 and light rain has stopped.
Still a bit of snow, but it is slowly melting away.
Talked to my Dad last night and the San Diego flooding for him was only on TV. They have had rain, but his yard was already dry by the time he saw the flooding on the news.
Our condolences two bit
TxDon - great news on the knee.
Buppies -hope the surgeries go smooth and don't hurt.
PopGadget - 6 month hall pass and good to go. I think my brother had that Ry Cooder CD, will have to ask.
Today I need to fill in a bunch of vendor forms for work, bureaucracy at it's finest. Probably cost more in paperwork and approval than the contract costs.
Takes 5 finance/contracts people to screw in a light bulb
Be well,

Good Morning
It’s a grey 35° morning. Supposed to make it into the lower 40’s and rain later. That should turn it into a real swamp out there when the rain melts the snow and thaws the ground.
As I said yesterday was consumed by the FAA and associated logistics. I ended up going out on a service call on a heat pump with my mechanical contractor buddy last night. It was a bit of a head scratcher at first. House was at 75, thermostat was set at 65, not calling for heat.
Ended up being a stuck contactor for the backup electric heat, and a bad capacitor on the condenser fan. Two independent issues, although the heat pump not working increased the frequency that the aux heat cycled on.
Was back home before 10.
Today starts with breakfast with the professor, a little bit of paperwork, then whatever I feel like. Might go downstairs and crank up some tunes on vinyl after all this talk. Definitely not a good day to anything outside.

hmmm, good thing I have LEDs....
insurance is just contract law. But the devil is surely in the details.
you have to be so careful someone doesn't slip something in, like a politician at the 11th hour...
I'll have to crank up my little stereo, open up a side window and see if Popgadget can hear it.
I hear he has magic microphones...
actually the speakers he builds are very high quality, built for musicians and his business is word of mouth
which shows you how good they are.
Popgadget, ever finish in colors? White?
He could build my wall of sound...
but what I really want to add will cost more money than my budget will do.
not the speakers, these are marginally affordable, and do have good resale value

problem is my little amp will drive only one set of speakers. And electrostatics are power hogs, I'd have to spend three grand on an amplifier.
Though I bet I could find something used. I have 100W ch rms now. I would need double that to run a pair of conventional speakers plus these four foot
tall ribbon speakers. But I believe there is no truer reproduction of voice and instruments. Popgadget and I bet a few of you have owned
these speakers. Martin Logan makes them now also.
ah, now here's a fun question. Do any of you have some really big amplifiers?
home theater is another dimension, some of those receivers are enormous.
in two years when my rv'ing is likely to be done, may convert my guest bedroom, which is pristine and never used, into a listening room.
I'd need more room for those electrostatic panels. I'd be three feet from them now.
I think I read Bill has some serious hardware.

Good Morning!!!! 50F @ 5:15AM. Overcast. High around 60F. Winds light and variable.
Blood, Sweat, & Tears also did a version of 40,000 Headmen. Hard to choose between the two, but nice we don't have to.
Almost got the file server hooked up yesterday, but forgot the box of ethernet stuff and need it to finish. No way I'm buying an ethernet cable when I have a box full up north. Also need to decide where to put the cable modem. It's sitting above the ceiling in the garage now, not good from a heat standpoint. It was just an easy spot to get to. There's a cable run into the living room, but I haven't found the other end of it yet. Gotta be on the outside garage wall somewhere. There's also enough cable to reach the office, and all I'd have to do is drill a hole in the wall and install a pair of bulkhead connectors. Just not sure the WiFi from the cable modem would reach the other end of the house. Even with the repeater I installed last month. Time to experiment.
More unpacking yesterday, opening and putting away stuff I haven't seen for fifteen years. Like my dad's old duck call and 78 speed vinyl record of how to use it. And a basketball autographed by Magic Johnson, snatched out of the air at a MacWorld conference, now hard and shriveled, the signature barely legible. Tools I have no memory of buying, some I don't even remember what they do. And still plenty of boxes to go.
Heard a rumble yesterday afternoon but wasn't quick enough to see the latest SpaceX launch. Just a twisted vapor trail in the sky to mark where it went.
Happy Hump Day folks...
