You mean after renewing the piston seals?

Ah right, upthread you pointed to a Promo pic of Statues of thingy. You might want to fix that.
All of it. It might feel like a new machine.

I took a quick look at the Baby Boomer demographic last night. I’m smack in the middle of the age band, but have never really identified as one. I feel more like a member of Generation Jones, which I discovered on Wikipedia last night...

‘Key characteristics assigned to members are pessimism, distrust of government, and general cynicism.’ Where do I sign?
Anyway, Claire is only putting the boot in to her elders, in other words doing what all pop musicians wanting to stir things up have done down the years. I’m sure she loves us all really.

Exactly! Essence of pragmatic musician.
Interviewer: Your music can conjure up wonderful images. What do you think about when you are improvising?
Jazz musician: Mostly my financial situation.

Back to work Wednesday and all the great ideas l had for lockdown.... none of them gone done.
I'm never going back to work, ever, but I achieved one thing during lockdown - found a shirt I thought I'd lost. (It had fallen from its hanger).

Treated myself to wireless noise cancelling IEMs, love no longer being tethered by a wire but holy moses Sony... Thank you for employing struggling/frustrated novelists all of this could have been localised by a website.

Plus you don't need a masters in origami to put a website away after the first an probably only time you read it.

Have had Sony WF-1000XM3 IEMs for about 6 months. Use them mainly while walking/treadmill’ing, or when watching TV and not wanting to disturb Mrs. Hook with the sound. Will be curious to hear what you think of them!

Does anything on there tell you how you can stop the bloody things from falling out? I’ve tried a couple of types with no luck, ramming them in until they almost hurt. But they still slide out again after ten minutes or so. I must have the wrong kind of thread or something.

@Hook they sound fine, the case probably needs one of those colourful silicone skins to buffer it. I’m hoping this can work with a new iOS feature that filters out noisy social spaces where everyone is shouting and correct for poor acoustics. For once glad no PSU is included, USB C is nice.
@Marchbanks The trick is take time with the different ear tip sizes, fitting takes patience but it pays dividends Sony provides 8 of them in soft & firm, short & long, silicone & foam & don’t assume both ear holes are the same size — my preferred setup has smallest on the left & small on the right.

Been around a while....
So, getting ready for the 'next' lockdown, I've emptied my garage, masonry painted the ceiling and walls, and gave the floor its 1st treatment of sealant. That stuff sure stinks! Despite ventilating the area well, it stank the house out for a good couple of hours.
Two coats of paint sealant on top of that to go...

I should be whoring myself our with pressers, but here I am setting up drums for lockdown single #4. The attention-grab: scrabbling for nonexistent music-media coverage is a bit distasteful. I’d rather write/record/release into a void.
Sobering to think this has been the past 10 months release schedule. Maybe 1 or 2 more before a year is up. Half the fun is commissioning wildly different arts.

Got a link so I can listen to some of your music? I've been meaning to ask for a while. No need to die, in the unlikely event that our paths should ever cross a cup of tea and a dog biscuit will do us nicely.

Sadly lockdown is coinciding with bursts of M.E. (and the light sensitivity is a right bastard on occasion, for a start) and arthritis, but slowly, slowly getting my new system up and running when I can, and modifying a Rega Planar 2. And trying to train a hellhound.
