    Mrs. H and I were going down to see our son & daughter in law in VA one day last summer. Just past the toll plaza for the Del Mem Bridge, there was a guy in a monstrous F350 pulling a pretty good sized boat (some sort of ski tow boat looking kind of thing). He did not have control of the trailer, and it was swinging alarmingly behind the truck. It also wasn't clear that they knew it. Mrs H, who was driving, did manage to pass it, but it just about clipped us, forcing her to swerve partly into the lane to her left to avoid it. Fortunately, the far left lane was not occupied, but it was a pretty unpleasant few seconds. :#

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    If I had to define awesome -- that's it, right there.
    The only thing that might have been more awesomer... if that were pork bellies.

    Last night, I slept on a Bamboo Silver Fiber Grounding Sheet at my friends house.

    Easy to Use: Utilizing a grounding sheet is a simple and effective method for grounding. Simply spread the grounding bed sheets on the mattress/mat like a regular fitted sheet, clip the grounding connection cord to the metal stud on the side of the grounding sheet’s black conductive patch, and plug the other end of the grounding cord into the grounding port of the wall outlet. At this point, direct skin contact with the grounding sheet will achieve grounding.

    Safe to Use: Compatible with electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc., the grounding sheets features a current-limiting device with a built-in 100 kilohm resistor to prevent grounding faults. Additionally, we include a complimentary grounding outlet tester. Please use this to ensure your outlet is properly grounded before using any grounding products. This is an essential tool for grounding enthusiasts.


    I don't think I have become an enthusiast, yet.

    hmm... perhaps not the best thing for listening to an All American Five power transformerless AM radio in bed.

    He did a terrible job of EQing by ear. Even asked Van Gogh to help, but that was a bust, too.

    ahem.
    Sort of on topic. At our church, we have a really nice mixer that can be adjusted the good ol' fashioned way, or via an app. I can run it from our livestream console, from my lappie, from my phone... whatevah. Different levels, gating, compression, EQ, etc. as needed for different endpoints (musicians' monitors, livestream audio, house sound). Everything is clearly labeled. It's really, really nice, and very easy to use.

    Dunno if I have a picture of the interface handy... :/
