  • I don’t think they would be considered unknown except the fact that jazz seems not to be a mainstream music genre, but my uncle has introduced me to quite a few artists.

    Stanley Clarke

    Pat Metheny

    Jaco Pastorius

    I think you would probably know those. Plenty of good stuff from them. The others that stood out to me were:

    Gabor Szabo

    Al Di Meola

    I tend to enjoy instrumental stuff in all genres and had not listened to much jazz before so it’s great to have a plethora of “new” music to explore.





  • I just went to a Round1 near the Sacramento area. Half of the available arcade space was taken up by claw machines. I guess this is what they mean by the imported games. Other selections of games included a racing game a little more Gran Turismo like in that you could progressively upgrade a vehicle. It seemed this had the ability to save profiles but as it was all in the native Japanese text I’m only guessing. I fumbled through the menu until it let me run a course. DDR, lightspeed challenge, and some other rhythm/beats type games were there but I wouldn’t call them anything out of a normal arcade. I went there hoping to find a vr headset type game, which they had, but every one was out of order. Then a handful of the old sit in a booth fixed gun turret shooters, and your basket shoot and see all type games.

    They use a charge tokens to a card system which is fine really but every game costs 6+ credits ($1.50). Blew through 20 bucks in about as many minutes. That was my experience, take from that what you will.









  • The pizza stone is pre heated in the oven. I assemble the pizza on cooking parchment because moving a topped pizza with raw dough is near impossible. So I slide the made pizza still on paper into the paddle and into the oven(paper stays with pizza). If you don’t have the paddle just assemble on a baking tray without a lip so you can still slide it onto a stone. IMO to he stone makes a big difference in the finished product and even cooking.




  • Looking great man. I helped my uncle install natural hardwood floors at his place. It’s a lot of work! Finishing out the corners and walls you work into can be tough. We did 6 rooms & closets, 3 hallways and 1 staircase. That natural wood can take a little effort to convince it to sit proper. Thankfully that isn’t every piece. For being rookies at the start I’m proud of how small we kept our waste percentage.

    What has your experience through the process been like? Would you do anything different starting over? Have you learned any helpful tricks along the way?
