I don't think I've heard of him, but that's quite a home instrument. Here's my more modest setup:
What are you going to do whilst in lockdown II?

I bet you added the word ‘home’ there after posting and reading it back.
I did a programme once with Michael Berkeley, who has a wicked sense of humour, from Brum Town Hall. He had to do a piece about the TH for the top of the show, and for the first rehearsal he said ‘Of course the centrepiece of the Town Hall is William Hill’s enormous organ.’ After much laughter, he changed it for the second rehearsal to ‘William Hill’s magnificent erection.’

Yesterday evening The Wife and I went to a nightclub.
The drinks were free (Rum n Cokes for me)
We danced and laughed together for nearly 3 hours.
The music/hi-fi room did its job. I had spent a couple of hours making wife-friendly dance c.d’s.
Of 3 hours of music, about 2 tunes didn’t work. Not bad for the little time I spent arranging the playlist order.
The old disco lights I have worked very well, we both agreed the coloured lights added to the experience.
It reminded me of a Russian woman who came for dinner in the mid 1980’s. Mid-summer, maybe 2p.m. we had some chat and drinks, suddenly the Russian woman stood up and started dancing! In the middle of the day, in broad daylight!
We adopted this ‘who cares?’ attitude and danced at the home discotheque.
Not something that we will do every day, but it was fun.

record cleaning next, got 3 or 4, also a culling of the collection now 600+, needs to be around 550.

Been around a while....
I've been sorely tempted to get back into model railways. It's a bottomless pit tho, isn't it?

Yeah, stick with hifi. You know where you are with hifi. Easy to rein in your spending.
Or golf...

Take my advice, don’t set yourself silly tests like this. It’s akin to giving yourself the ‘attempt to explain quantum entanglement without waving your arms about’ test. Failure will only lead to reduced self-esteem. Don’t give yourself that option.

Paper books? Old skool! I've never read my chess books either
Chessable ...chess books online, with move trainer and explanation videos etc. This is the way forward.
The principles of the opening for beginners ...best place to start for total beginners, i.e. if you know the basic rules of chess and the value of the pieces but not much more.
Chess Fundamentals ...then go here
Climbing The Rating Ladder ...then here

fortunately, i do not beat myself up if i fail. a decision for wine or not is heavily dependent on food. mon/tues usually snack meals with whatever is left over, so easy not to indulge. i do think it a good idea to have some respite from alcohol per week

indeed, so trying to set budget now. fortunately i have a 3m long fitted utility bench and 2.5m return wall in the loft so some costs reduced for intial works.
looking at O guage full scale for one track, OO guage track for narrow O guage engine and rolling stock, and a canal.
i reckon 3k would do it, with a lot of scratch building.
as for hifi, the only thing i have bought in the last 5 years are cartridges, and i am now happy. will only replace items with s/h when absolutely necessary.

No kebabs after the club.
Did have tea and biscuits.
I ache like a beach today. Knees, arms, neck hurt and I pulled a muscle. It was a success though.
