So my mother suggested giving the music room a facelift. That was perfectly fine with me. Been gutting it out the last 3 days (I have to do it in bite size pieces on account of the pinched nerve in my back). Having commercial sound gear is awesome . . . until its time to unhook and move it lol. Nightmare of cables and cords plus the big heavy amps and speaker cabinets. If I ever replace my gear, it will be smaller and lighter than what I have now (one amp is almost 40 lbs, the subwoofer is almost 80 lbs, too much for someone with back issues). I got it figured out though how to set everything back up that will be a lot more user friendly plus not have a matrix of cables running all over the place randomly as a eyesore.
I'm just glad its not a system from the 70s/80s. To have anything close to the performance of what I got now, it would be a lot bigger and much much heavier, you would need a full size van towing a trailer (and I still wouldn't have the deep low end I got now) so I can't complain looking at it that way lol.
Gonna be alright

It's reported that former vice-president Mike Pence dropped out of the race to win the Republican presidential nomination today. He's quoted as saying: “After much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today."
Sorry Mike, you didn't have a prayer to begin with...
While many think you shouldn't have tried for a campaign, being at the bottom of the polls and never gaining traction. This decision is months overdue.
I like Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Watch this video and I am sure you will like her too! Feel free to leave comments and questions. Oh, Go Blue!

Great news for all Democrats and those who fear what will happen should Trump continue to look for a second term.
Dean is a centralist with almost no hard-left viewpoints.
I wonder how long it will take for some Republicans to spread lies and misinformation about Dean?

Usually, Friday is the quietest day at work. Not much happens, and we're pretty much done by 3.15 pm.
Not today.. Why not? Because a trade exhibition was on, which resulted in a LOT of orders. So many that the logistics manager called and said that we didn't have to pack those orders today - they could wait until Monday, which made me a very happy employee!
Usually, I am out of the door at 4 pm on Fridays, but today I had to stay for a further 20 minutes. I don't mind it, I just wish they would have told us that we would be swamped with orders from the exhibit. If we would have been notified about that, we would have started packing up orders way sooner than we originally did. The coworker I was closing with was stressing because he had a reservation at a restaurant, and us being swamped meant, that he would be in danger of missing his dinner date, so when we were all done, and the carrier had been sent on his way, I told him to just head home, and that I would be closing up by myself. I know I'm not supposed to be there alone, but I felt like I had it all under control. All I had to do was go a round to make sure everything was closed up, and that everything was on charge for Monday morning, and activate the alarm.
This marks the end of another work week - one that has flown by. It seems like it was Monday yesterday, which is how I like my weeks - quick. I also got my payslip today, which made me even more happy!

I did some traveling this past weekend that involved airports with interconnecting flights, museums and sporting events. I passed through Atlanta, Georgia and much of my vacation was in Ohio. Dayton and a day in Columbus.
I noticed people... lots of people.
While the weather was very good (by any standard) we had a little drizzle rain and cool temperatures the first few days then amazing sunny, clear that went from freezing in the early morning to mid 60's (Fahrenheit) in the afternoon. I wore a long-sleeve polo with a jeans jacket and never felt cold. We went to a high-school soccer game on a cold night and those kids were in normal long sleeved pullovers with no additional coats. The spectators mostly had winter coats
It's safe to say that in cold climates, people tend to shower less often than people in hot climates. Fortunately, I didn't get a whiff of someone who's 38 hour antibacterial soap quit working. I did see something unexpected... lots of guys with dandruff. It shows up on dark clothing.
Up until this trip, I would have thought dandruff would have faded away like leprosy, where you've only heard stories and seen photos, but never had a close encounter with a leper.
Treatments for dandruff are everywhere. It's in shampoos, topical liquids... Listerine mouthwash is said to cure dandruff. So, there's no excuse.
Apart from humans, all other species live their life without God, then why do humans only need God?
If believing in God brings good changes in us then it is good to believe in God, But there are more ideological conflicts among those who believe in God than among those who do not believe in God.
Everyone says that God is one but they have created different religions by giving different names to God. And they are fighting each other because of religious differences.
The reason behind most of the wars in the world is theological differences.
If you look deeply into all the Holy Books, they all have the same meaning and purpose. The only differences are in the language and some rules due to the environment of that place.
As long as we give importance only to 'words', there will be more differences among us humans, when we start giving importance to the 'meaning' then unity among us humans will increase.
The Governor of Arkansas has signed an executive order banning woke words in State Government. The only humans that give birth are Women. Thank you Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. I hope other States follow your lead.
