Cool and clear, warming throughout the day. Almost like yesterday, except yesterday got overcast and stayed grey until late afternoon. I’m hoping today will be clear all day. We need rain, but I am selfish enough to want the rain to happen overnight.
I did my two pickups in the afternoon, then hit the Goodwill on the way home. The new experiment is D1 walks home from school, instead of me picking her up at 3:15. She needs to check in and text when she leaves school (because sometimes she stays for tutoring) and when she gets home. Hasn’t worked so far, she “forgets” to text. I have a strong incentive to make it work as the 3:15 deadline shortens my day significantly. We’ll see as the week goes on.
Got some good stuff at the Goodwill for the house, the BOL, and a couple of things for resale. I haven’t bought that much in years. Got lucky I guess.
Today I’ve got a couple of pickups to do, and some errands to run. We’re headed back to the BOL for Easter, and I need a few things. I’ve also got my buddy coming into town to work on clearing out his workshop. I promised to help with that, but it will cut into my normal routine. Most of that work will be next week, but he wants to get started at the end of this week. I need to get my stuff out of the way beforehand.
And all the normal stuff awaits my attention and efforts.
I couldn’t find a bucket of sugar last night. I did find a couple of containers, with about 3 pounds in each, which was fine, but I must have taken the buckets to the lake. Hmm. RE-stack here, or just have the BOL stock? Hmm. Choices.
I need to get to work on this stuff. And I clearly need to stack…

Dual stage system. Standard thermostat wiring using my Ecobee thermostat. 7 wires to the thermostat which will control the dual stage system. Nothing proprietary about the system that was installed.
They checked the operation of the unit. The cooling came on, the heat came on. They just did not check the manual fan operation. That was probably not on their list of what to check.
And first post. Up early, like at 4:00 AM, or really late at night depending on perspective.
Thanks Nick
Piker! First post today was Greg in yesterday’s comments
Speaking of which, if those who know about Hi-Fi systems would kindly take a look at my inquiry of yesterday, I’d be obliged…
Live in the long shadow of Elon, and sleep is a luxury.
I’m sure I’m not alone that, living in the shadow, I have a red line which, if crossed, will make me walk away. Hopefully that happens before the stroke.
I have to go to the cardiologist today and explain why I haven’t found a stress outlet or started an aerobic exercise regimen within the last month. Both are important if I want to eliminate one med of the three.
Cool. The installer could run the extra wires.
I believe that standards exist for the proprietary thermostats, but those are about provisions for control of temperature in the house by a central authority. The protocols aren’t public knowledge.
The unintended consequence of the popularity of Ecobee and Nest is that the cental authorities behind those devices aren’t the same as those who would eventually like to control temperatures in buildings across the entire grid so their standards are uncoordinated … for now.
To make a Nest or Ecobee work, simple on/off wire controls are needed at the point where the wires leave the wall.
I like Yamaha.
CD player? A DVD or Blu-ray player/drive will cover that task.
Big speakers. There really is no substitute for moving a lot of air. Modern class D amps are very good, even when designed from cookbook, or system on a chip so the power amp part isn’t as important as it was. Do you want to stream IN the receiver/amp or separate box? Denon supports HEOS? which is but one of the ways to do that. Some support spotify. Many support control thru the apple home universe of stuff or Alexa/google/siri controls. Most modern A/V equipment is built to be the center of a home theater setup, not an audiophile stereo listening room so it’s more about number of inputs than quality of sound. But then the base quality is better than most people can hear.
You can get the CD and even DVD library machines, used or refurbed, or a 5 disc changer… if I had a stack of CDs to listen to, a changer would be on the list. I use Denon AVR home theater receivers with my client for the theater and living room, because those rooms are set up as 5.1 and 7.1 movie watching spaces. And because my business partner liked Denon. Other than blowing up in lightning storms, it’s been good and capable gear.
(Wife decided to keep the Bose wave radio, and this one has a CD built in. She likes the size and loudness of it. I often buy stuff with the intention of reselling it, when the wife decides to keep it.)

Five wires can control single state system’s if the thermostat needs power. A common wire, power wire, fan, heat and cool. Four wires are good enough for a single stage simple (no power) thermostat. I had 4 fires with a special module in the unit to provide common on one of the other wires. Seven wires control a dual stage system. Power, common, fan, cool 1st stage, cool 2nd stage, heat 1st stage, heat 2nd stage.
The installers ran a new 7 wire cable. Either the fan wire is not terminated correctly or is hooked to the wrong terminal. The Ecobee thermostat has 10 terminals to accommodate other types of heating systems Such as boilers and steam systems.
I have a stack of CDs and a CD changer, 24 discs. I don’t use it. I ripped all the CDs to MP3 and use my iPhone or MacBook to listen to the music. Much more convenient.

– me too, but the CDs sound better, especially thru big speakers driven by enough power.

My poor phone… The school network is acting up (again), so I’m running my laptop off its hotspot. It is also playing some music for my headphones via bluetooth. Trying to use an app was apparently a step too far, because it started glitching – too much stuff needing real-time performance.
Ah well. Just about 2/3 through teaching this block course. I said I would do it again next year, but I may retract that offer. In the course description I made it clear that this was a programming course (Android programming). About a quarter of the students turned out to be incapable of getting the IDE (programming environment) installed and working. Another quarter clearly haven’t programmed since their introductory course years ago. Another quarter never showed up in the first place. Ok, that still leaves a quarter who are doing fine, but still, the overall situation is annoying.
The compressed music formats all remove bits of the music which we supposedly do not “hear”.
The lossy codecs are based in psychology.
I rip CDs for the car since new vehicles do not install CD players even as rental options anymore, but I keep the original CDs around because the lossy formats sound “off” to me once I’ve spent time absorbing the original uncompressed version with headphones.
That said, the Atmos 7.1 mix on the “Stop Making Sense” Blu Ray from A24 is awesome if you have the equipment. That comes at a tremendous cost of space in the track, however. I can’t rip the flick to use on my tablets with that audio because the resulting file exceeds the FAT32 size limits.
CDs aren’t going away, contrary to what the audio manufacturers want you to believe. Yes, they were always intended as “Medium Fi”, but, in the hands of a good engineer and producer, the results are magic.
BTW, SNL got it wrong. Bruce Dickinson masterminded a lot of remastered CDs about 20 years ago, including Blue Oyster Cult, but he was not involved in the original “more cowbell” decision on “Agents of Fortune”.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVsQLlk-T0s
I understand that good and big speakers are key, but with which brand to start looking? As I say, I am no audiophile in the sense that I follow what is the latest and greatest gadget or have gold plated cable terminators.
I used to have a CD changer in the car, but I don’t mind walking to the home unit to change discs. I actually listen more often to the radio than to discs.
I think so. My favourite source of radio stations is via satellite, as DAB reception here is not great, so I need to be able to input into the system the output of a satellite receiver, or the system needs to have a native satellite reception capacity. Next-best source is internet radio, so that should also be accommodated.
I used to play music professionally. I can hear the difference. My needs therefore lean more towards audiophile listening room than towards home theatre. OTOH, I want whatever we get to also serve the TV/home theatre need, as neither the budget nor the available space will accommodate two systems.
W1 occasionally likes to stream stuff to the TV from her iPhone, iPad or Apple laptop, usually using a VPN to get around geoblocking. I suppose I might do the same from a Windows or Linux lappy if the mood took me. I am old enough to remember that the pinnacle for Hi-Fi was a black tower of JVC or other components in a glass case, but I am at a loss to figure out what the modern equivalent of that is. I am seeing a lot of wireless entertainment units that seem to need to be controlled from an APP, Alexa, Siri, etc., which I emphatically do not want. I don’t want my system to need to be online for it to function. We don’t use Spotify. I really would like to have dedicated, and probably wired, hardware.
Mine certainly are not going away. I have a lot of CDs, and much “new” classical music is still distributed exclusively on CD. I am not a fan of streaming, and even less of ripping to MP3, as I hate the lossy transfer quality. I generally don’t listen to quality music in the car, as there is so much background noise that DAB broadcast radio is good enough.
@greg:
I suspect that the pressure to abolish CD playback is a combination of auto manufacturers not wanting to fit CD drives, thus restricting their ability to remove physical objects from the dash and go to pure touchscreen UIs, and the record labels hating how easy it is to rip entire albums to compressed digital formats without their being able to charge monopoly rents.
I don’t buy much music, but I have a distinct preference for silver discs when I do, for exactly that reason. Not to mention that they would have to physically force the disc from my cold, dead hands to get the music out of my possession.
G.
Telarc CDs, especially those of The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra conducted by Eric Kunzel (now deceased) were some awesome recordings. Great care was taken to make the music as accurate as possible. When my ears were better I could sometimes hear a music page being turned.
>>Big speakers. There really is no substitute for moving a lot of air.
My brother had (has?) two pair of these speakers. One mint condition pair in his room at my parent’s house, with a McIntosh tube amp driving them. Talk about making the house shake! The other pair were rented out for street fairs, block parties and the like.
I am a fan of Klipsch speakers. For the floorstanding speakers, there are different levels of quality. I have had my main tower speakers for 20 ? years and they are great. They are very close to this (mine aren’t made anymore): https://www.klipsch.com/products/r-600f-floorstanding-speaker. I bought mine after listening to a bunch in person. Do any audio stores still exist? I also have Klipsch center channel and surround speakers. I only have a 5.1 system – built it before Atmos and I really don’t care that much anymore. The rest of the system is a Yamaha receiver and a powered Velodyne subwoofer.
I also have a couple pairs of these powered speakers: https://www.klipsch.com/products/r-50pm-powered-speakers. These live in my office for streaming from my pc and in the pool table room for music/tv audio. For what they are, the sound is very good.
Even with my hearing losses, I can hear the artifacts in MP3s, particularly the sound of high hats, hand claps, and some weirdness in the upper mid range of piano. (despite how common piano is, if anything is wrong in the recording or playback, it tends to sound terrible.)
MP3s work spectacularly for pretty much any environment that isn’t specifically meant for good listening, but with good headphones, or a quiet room, you need as little loss as possible.
WRT speakers, other than the trendiness of Klipch (and they sold out, AFAIK they’re just renting the name at this point) most of the classic “names” sound good. Even the chinese fake audiophile names sound pretty good. Software for design, and modern drivers take most of the guesswork and “art” out of speaker design, imho.
Some really extraordinarily expensive 80s and 90s speakers are available for 1/10th the cost from ebay sellers. Big speakers are out of favor, so if you have the room, they are generally cheap.
Choice of speaker also depends somewhat on choice of music. Before the CD and DVD there isn’t a lot of bass in recorded music. It’s very noticeable when I’m listening to the kids’ play lists and old is mixed with new. Most people my generation and younger LIKE bass, so we tend to go bass heavy. Modern subwoofers are awesome for this.
I avoid Bose and B&O mainly because their goal was to get good sound from tiny speakers. Now I want big speakers again.
An ebay search for vintage speakers sorted by price might be illuminating.
n
@alan, I KNEW IT!!! Before I even clicked on the link I thought “Voice of the Theater”!
The “Lansing” in Altec Lansing is the L in JBL too.
n
Don’t judge me. In my college days, my listening was almost esclusively classical music plus Three Dog Night.
When it came time to replace my all-in-one LP player and its desktop speakers, I sought professional advice, and was told: “Invest your money in the mechanical components. Turntable and speakers need to be top-notch. Amplifiers and mixers that meet base quality have a lesser impact on the sound.”
All the manufacturers are different now than back in the early 70’s, so I won’t name brands, except to say I build a Dynakit amplifier to sit between my turntable and my speakers. As I recall, it was pure solid state, but a brief internet search only finds tube stuff.
I wish I still had that. I lost it in one of my many moves.
Most of my movie and TV watching happens in our family room on a Sony Trinitron Grand Wega 38” TV. No additional amp or speakers. BluRay and DVDs play through a PS3 with component video out – very rare for BluRay.’

I was discussing yesterday with a friend, he said me that he never saw an article about reciclyng of N2 from NOX on gas turbines . Regardless of the economical question, is there any?
The only one I was able to discover was a chinese article on sciencedirect.
Thanks
I do not know about recycling N2 from NOx. It just does not make sense when air is 71% N2.
Diesels inject DEF, diesel exhaust fluid, 30% urea, to absorb NOx. Power plants inject 30% ammonia to absorb NOx. Both urea and ammonia react with NOx to form a heat stable salt.
The funny thing is, NOx, is a very good fertilizer. A good rain will wash the NOx out of the atmosphere. NOx is the brown vapor in the atmosphere.
Speaking of which, if those who know about Hi-Fi systems would kindly take a look at my inquiry of yesterday, I’d be obliged…
I bought my Panasonic Technics system in 1977 so I am a little out of date. It is sitting in my closet in boxes. My AR-1 (acoustic research) speakers are tv stands for my bedroom office 55 inch tv.
FWIW, the powered speakers attached to my PC are Acoustic Research and have served me well since I was living in a hotel room in vegas in ’94. Loud enough to fill a small room, good sounding too.
The main “home theater” system in the living room is a Boston Acoustic 5.1 speaker system I bought around 2000? 2001? I’d auditioned some really high end stuff at the local store, and bought them later at Fry’s. They are the lowest cost package with all metal speaker cases, and about a 10″ or 12″ woofer. They still sound good in the living room. Amp/receiver has changed over the years from Sony to Onkyo back to sony, mainly based on number of inputs and price.
Lately though, I’ve been messing with powered studio monitors from Martin, and others, and vintage bigger cabinets from different builders. The big speakers sound GOOD when driven with big amps. They aren’t super efficient, but they do move the air.

I have a couple of pairs of large Martin Logan towers that sound fantastic on classical and acoustic jazz. I don’t think they make the models I use any longer, as they have circular arrays of small tweeters near the top. Those don’t have a lot of bass response, so I added one of their small subwoofers to one set (found on eBay for a very reasonable price.) Once I dialed the sub back so it wasn’t jumping around on the floor, it made the system more balanced for modern rock, metal, and electric jazz.
I’m running them with relatively new Denon DRA-800H integrated amplifiers. I think they are 2x100W units, and that is probably the minimum power I would recommend with those speakers, just to keep the appropriate dynamics.
I also have some old Dahlquist DQM-9 speakers with 11″ woofers that sound incredible, but they are nearly impossible to find these days.
You may be able to find a good deal on some older quality units on eBay or Reverb. A lot of folks really can’t hear the difference (or prefer the “boom and hiss” sound), and they don’t want to sacrifice the space.
Let us know how it goes.

I was at a friend of mine’s yesterday, he is a commercial printer. When I walked in, he was beating his eight year old 60 inch wide vinyl printing machine that he paid $16,000 for new. The yellow cartridges (there are two) were refusing to flow, his machine melts the yellow / blue / magenta crayons and then deposits it on the vinyl film.
He said everything in that printer, including the printer and the 100 foot vinyl film rolls, comes from China. But that is how he makes his money, by printing signs for people so he will have to pay the new tariffs to buy supplies eventually. And his prices will go up too. Plus the 8 foot by 4 foot aluminum backing boards that he glues the vinyl to.

I’m going to echo that remark. I’ve never had an issue with stairs, but my wife doesn’t like them. When we bought this house in San Antonio, in early 2020, the Covid hysteria was still strong, and it was difficult to travel. My wife made one house-hunting flight from Sacramento to San Antonio, and met a spectacularly good realtor. After that, he did all the running around, and we did all our house-hunting on Zillow. She told the realtor, “No HOAs, and NO STAIRS”. So the realtor found an older house on the outskirts of town, with no HOA. It’s been delightful, but none of the photos showed the STEP UP to the front door, or the STEP between the kitchen and the garage. He apparently didn’t think that one tiny little step mattered.
Well, it doesn’t to me, but it’s become a problem for her now that she is substantially wheelchair-bound. Fortunately, she’s not COMPLETELY dependent on her chair, but stairs aren’t ADA compliant. We paved a ramp from the door to the sidewalk, so she can get out if she needs to.
But when you’re planning your retirement home, DO include plans to either not have stairs, or how to handle them.

My parent’s 1961 house has 18 inch doorways to the bathrooms. My mother rolls her wheelchair to the doorway of the hall bathroom, stands up and uses her walker to the toilet. Not ideal in the slightest.
Dad fell in his bathroom the other day. He could not get up and told Alexa to call 911. Alexa refused to call 911 for him since he did not have his phone or or his phone watch. Dad then hollered for Mom for four hours until she got up at noon. Mom then called 911. Mom cannot even get in the master bedroom due to the 18 inch doorways.
The EMTs came and helped dad up. They wanted to take him to the ER to get checked out but he refused as usual. Yes, helping Dad get up after a fall is getting very usual.

I worked out west of there as a junior engineer in a power plant for three years from 1982 to 1985. 15% humidity in the summer on 115 F days. Snowfall every winter with temperature routinely in the single digits. Occasionally below zero maybe once every ten years or so.
Lots of wildlife and rattlesnakes. Lots of scrub brush. Not much water, that pond goes dry all the time I bet.
My mother-in-law was from Noodle, Texas, just northwest of there. Her dad was a sharecropper until 1965. My wife was born on a Army base in Japan and came back to Abilene when she was 4 years old, lived there until she was 20. Her dad was working for the VA and got transferred to Houston where I met her brother at church. Met my wife when her brother invited me over to their house for a young singles party.

You turn sideways. My Mom managed with her walker. When we had the master bath done it was to the studs. The 24″ door was moved out of the corner of the room and replaced with a 32″ pocket door next to the bedroom door. I planned for a possible wheelchair, just move the wastebasket, add a couple of grab bars and it’s good.

Note that Bob Jones University was denied tax-exempt status for a policy forbidding interracial dating, which was found to be within the penumbra of laws forbidding racial discrimination. Harvard is directly violating a slew of laws relating to education, and their failure to ensure the safety of Jewish students on campus is clearly discriminatory and counter to public policy.
I’m sure that Hawvawd will find a pliable judge to issue a restraining order, but the DOJ should require a bond to cover any disbursement of public funds, and President Trump should refuse to comply with anything less and request immediat Supreme Court review.
