Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

I got the rears done and then paid a shop to do the fronts while I recovered.

The suffering is important. Must be.

It's exhausting though.

Lol, depressing, exhausting, humbling. It's weird being the same age as old people.

I am really way, way way shocked, stunned, by that Boeing 787 crash in India, I spent all evening looking at footage and comments and it seems like .... just a mystery what happened there.

Plane taking off normally it seems and 10 seconds after lliftoff, the plane dramatically, suddenly lose lift
And there was a mayday call: Mayday, Mayday, Mayday, loss of power

It is heartbreaking to watch

Unfortunately, that's not too surprising with Boeing. Most likely a defect or a maintenance incompetence.

This may be the most scary thing I ever seen.....
I am scared to death watching these from my chair at the home office

Yeah, he's free climbed some crazy stuff. No way in hell I'd even think about doing that!

Is Air India Crash a software bug?: A significant software bug in the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, discovered in 2015, could cause a complete electrical shutdown, potentially leading to loss of control. This issue stems from a software counter within the generator control units (GCUs) that overflows after 248 days of continuous power, causing the GCUs to enter failsafe mode and cease power generation.

Boeing and the FAA have addressed the issue with a maintenance directive to periodically power down the GCUs and are developing a permanent software fix. 10 years and seemingly still not yet a permanent fix to the issue.

I think I'm cured.

Two weeks and not one post. That's kind of a victory. It's been two years since I disassembled my "ManTown" system and I still haven't put it back together in its new home. This audio thing had been my latest addiction for the last 20 years or so. That's a crazy long time.

It's safe to say that the hobby has kept me out of trouble by tieing up my free time. I mean what else would I have done? And it has been a lot of free time. We have lived in a condo so no yard work or snow shoveling to keep me busy.

Now I find myself pondering Atmos. I feel like I need to make a statement ... like one final system that stands for all the effort two decades worth of passion amounts to. Not that I have the time and/or energy for such trivialities but ... I still appreciate good audio. And I believe the rec'r I got from adk/Craig will support it. It sort of amazes me that I don't know only that, I don't even know the model number. I use to remember what model rec'r everybody else had. It's an X7200W What I do remember about it is that it made like #5 or something on PENG's most powerful rec'rs list. Pretty cool.

I had to go look it up. Then I had to go check out the room it would trick out. You know what I have to do? Another brake job. This time on my car, the rears, with the e-brake. But yeah ... Atmos. (Homer drool).

This residence can be marked Safe from Atmos for the foreseeable future.

Fine, then stereo it is but brakes and a bathroom renovation need attention too.

Nice chatting.

EDIT: Okay, maybe cured is too generous a word seeing as how I'm popping ceiling tiles trying to decide on various configurations. Overhead is good enough for rear surround, right? But I have kitchen cabinets to hang.
