I’m ashamed to say that it took me a while to clue in!

I seem to remember the Rattles but perhaps they were just baby talk!

Something about projecting daisy patterns behind scaffolding makes me a little hinky.

Set up the Youtube music app on an Android phone. Selected about 75 groups to set up my own "free" music station.
Pretty simple setup. Sounds good. Songs selected from my chosen groups.

Listening with HYPER X gaming headphones right now.​

Yeah, I know, they want me to sign up for their paid service. Maybe a commercial or two thrown in. Not too bad.

Never tried this, sounds good.

Check the data bit rate. With videos, they somtimes dumb down the resolution to save on data transmission. If auto is selected, they might provide you with lower quality when the network traffic is heavy. Ideally, you want the highest resolution all the time.

Thanks for sharing, Lefty!!
This is one of my very favorite, incredibly creative efforts of the ‘80s.

This and 1982’s Swing To The Right combined to convince me that Todd Rundgren belongs on the Mount Rushmore of post-Beatles music.

Ain’t much I can do about it now...

Ok, I'm justifiably grumpy as F***! Just got back from the ER where I received 5 stitches to the end of my right ring finger and 21 staples in my right thigh. All because I tried to fix my Shop-Vac motor instead of just buying a new vac. We had a disagreement and the motor settled it at my expense. Those little motors have a lot of torque! Looks like I won't be playing my new(ish) bass (JMJ Mustang. Love it!) or doing any woodworking for at least a few days. My leg actually feels ok considering what it's been through, but the finger really hurts. Ironically, the worst part was when the doc was trying to numb the wounds so she could clean and close them. That's an experience I won't soon forget.

Jeez, Ric! Not even going to try to figure out how that went, and I normally bleed on any project beyond tying my boots. Condolences. Did they give you any good pain meds?

No videos!

That'll leave a mark!

The last time a doc numbed my finger with injections and asked "does it hurt?" I just clenched my teeth and told her I've been through much worse.

 

[beans-on-toast]

No videos!

I understand that. I would check to see if they do the same thing based on load with the audio streaming bit rate.

Sorry to hear about the pain. I know what you mean about starting out with good intentions trying to save money. Hope that you heal quickly.

It seems like I manage to cut myself just about every time I hit the bench. Yesterday I sliced two fingers while trying to fix my land line phone. I keep a bottle of Betadine on hand. At the end of the day, I wound up ordering a new one.

Just your typical case of extreme stupidly with powered devices. I have a standing nomination for lifetime achievement with the Darwin awards.
No pain meds, but I hate that stuff anyway.

That'll leave a mark!

I've heard that chics dig scars, but I've never seen any evidence of it. My wife was certainly not impressed, but she is definitely very tolerant.

That hurt to read!

Scars are tattoos with better stories.

Unrelated: Your rap name = Young + the last thing you spent money on.

Bottle of Betadine? I'm really in no position to be too much of a wiseacre. Our band often wears shorts and 'Aloha' shirts. I don't do shorts anymore after weed-whacking my left leg. (I s'pose I could say I was bit by a 'gator)[dumb@$$]

Nope. I'm sticking with Notzo Young M.C. Escher.

I’d stick with the aligator story. It would help if you had a gator strap to show off.
