I was elated to find that with a modest degree of effort, I was able to get the 1962 Zenith console record player working. I played Jesus Christ Superstar, A Taste of Honey, Twin Sons of Different Mothers, The Association, some Lenny Bruce and of course, Dark Side of the Moon. Does this change my mind about the audio quality of vinyl over CD? N.F.W. This things from 1962! Maybe a better rig would introduce a stronger challenge but that's not my goal. I have a handful of LPs I'd love to have the occassional option to play but truth be told this will likely be used infrequently. It's just a fun showpiece for the room and brings back some of my absolutely fondest memories of childhood. THAT is my goal. I had a strong day of engagement in work tasks including having David come down and hang for about an hour or so. We had some hardware to swap so it just worked out that way. Tommy and I started to butt heads at dinner and I left to take care of errands in order to avoid the escalation. I'm glad I did, as it helps reinforce that I have to manage myself, not him. I got some additional details about the whole house deed processing that really helped further cement what my attorney told me this am.. being that the "attestment" document is a full on door slam as to any options to contest anything. I agreed. Had a fun text exchange with Marya, with Jeri, and with my brother. Also had a nice exchange with Kelly W regarding Bailey's school project based on Linda's idea of an Airstream bar business idea. It was a gracious exchange about water under bridges. I appreciated the sentiments. I worked sitting at the window in a manner I've envisioned and the motivaiton for the bench seats I intent to put there. I'm hoping to continue with a strong focus on work during work hours and my only interruption is a 1hr meeting with the hospice counselor, who's been just awesome to talk to as I work through the needs to support myself and to process the experience of the past 13 months. I also want to work a 2m walk into the day, which I've said before but end up compromising on or outright forgetting. Jen and I have dinner plans with friends and I am looking forward to a delicious salmon dinner with a Pinot from the wine collection, and some stimulating conversation.
