Yeah, the Wilsons are... yeah. They do some great things, but they're not for everyone. Their Beryllium tweeter diaphragms are made by Focal, which is a brand I worked with quite a bit. Lively top end and Focal would run the crossovers pretty low with 'em - I wouldn't be surprised if Wilson was doing something similar.



Oh, and yes, the weather today was nice and reminded me how much my lungs love humid air.

Speaking of whom, was The Girl proud of your performance?

Actually, it was a relay team, not a girl. I went looking to figure that out. No, not beaten by a girl; beat the fastest one by three minutes or so. And yes, she was. I'm down now because something has taken over my body and it's upsetting me. Makes me want to vomit, honestly.

That's even better! The results, I mean.

I'm really happy for you Hummer. Putting aside thefeet and legs, you're reaping the benefits of some training, and it looks like you've hooked up with a nice lady.

Pizza ordered. These movies always make me really want a car that can be my best friend. McLaren F1. Or maybe F40. Something like that.

Or, if I'm feeling in a different mood, SVT Raptor.

Hummer, the hot water on the itchies won't work with a hot towel, as it will be either hot enough to scald, or not hot enough to carry heat. Do it in the shower, and gradually turn the temp up until you can barely stand it, beyond what a normal cleaning temp is. Then stand in it for 60-90 secs. Honestly, I have done this with sunburn for 25+ years and it works very well.

The F40 was, in my opinion, the best looking car Ferrari has made. In fact, best looking car ever.

Will it work on chiggers? I thought it was more of a poison ivy sort of thing.

The heat does a couple things - a lot of bug bites itch because of... a reaction to chems that are left behind when they bite. Often, these chems break down with heat. Even if they don't (and mosquito bites don't), the heat does something to the histamines causing the itch, providing up to a day of relief even if the chems are still present.

It was Eric I talked to. I suspect the Wilsons weren't well-served by the recording. It was Genesis' Trick of the Tail which I think has suffered a bit in recent remastering.

Meanwhile, the 1.7s didn't do anything for me that the MG12s don't, but the 3.7s were on a whole other level. Listened to some other box speakers and... meh. The only box speakers I've heard recently that I've really liked are my friend's B&W 804s.

So, as soon as I got out of the car this morning at the race site, having had to park in tall grass, I could feel some nettles or somesuch attacking my feet and legs. Did the whole race like this:

I think I like GarminConnect better than TrainingPeaks, but I have no idea why GC is showing those weird spikes on my run pace. Tpks isn't.

Also, did the hillclimb without dipping under 7.5mph. New record. The only thing I want Strava for is to track my ability on that thing.

I'm not going to register for it, of course.

Thanks. I'll try later tonight. I still wish I could just kill them like they deserve. Like with that super-cold flash-freeze ice bath thing I saw about. Not that I have one. I just want them dead. They offend me.

Pfft, you can do it by 9pm (CDT) if you try hard.

You won't make many friends in the process, though.
