I'm honestly concerned for some #cosonauts here.

If something you are watching or listening to is making you enraged, remember that you can turn it off.

Are you experiencing elevated heart rate or other stress/anxiety symptoms?

Is there anything positive stemming from your rage?

Could other people be benefitting from your rage? People who do not have your best interests in mind?

Why not go *really* old-school to select our political leaders?

Me, tonight:

A hymn for our times.

My evening snack turned out to be a #meme in two different realms.

I fried some vegetarian octopus tonight. 😜

Yet another music publisher who doesn't proofread before going to print.

And yes, I'm getting a jump on winter holiday stuff. Making practice tracks for fall semester.

Pet peeve number 6397:

When producers or resellers insert one word from another language in a product name, but do it in a place where it is syntactically wrong in that language.

Case in point:

Today's lunch brought to you by Trader Joe's and my local farm.

Nothing beats June strawberries.

First attempt making maki sushi. Well, the second roll was an unintentional futomaki, I suppose.

It's a quasi-California roll. I did a quick pickle on cucumber and carrot, and overnight pickle on the ginger. That kewpie mayo really is a secret weapon.

Upgraded the main storage in my Sound Devices 788T-SSD recorder today. The drive it came with from the previous owner was a refurbished 128GB Samsung 830, installed November of 2014. Best practice recommendation from Sound Devices is to replace these drives every 4 years or so, so this was long overdue.

I replaced it with a 480 GB Crucial BX500 3D NAND, which only cost me $38.

This gave me another opportunity to admire the beautiful internal design. What a tank.

Free merch from one of my favorite audio companies. All I had to do was ask. #musicproduction

I forgot to add done pics. This was flipping delicious. I held it a little over 180° for a couple hours, because I wanted to slice it rather than pull it.
I need a Carolina vinegar style sauce for the meat, and a compound sage cinnamon brown sugar butter for the sweet potato. Bok choy picked from my garden today sauteed in garlic chili oil.

Just under 7 hours. Stalled in low 170s, wrapping.

A little over 3 hours in, just did the apple cider vinegar spritz.

Smoked pork picnic shoulder thread.

This will be a first for me. Doing my usual snake/fuse method on my Weber kettle with pecan wood. Salt & pepper rub only; letting the smoke provide the flavor.

Sides will be sweet potatoes hasselback style basted with cinnamon brown sugar sage butter, along with garlic and chili oil sauteed bok choy from the garden.

Mildly NSFW #cosoclassical humor. A little #musictheory as well.

Oh yeah. Doing this one again.
