    Went out earlier to take advantage of the sun and break down the box the couch came in for the yellow bin.
    Five minutes later … 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

      I got home a bit late and am hoping I can get even just 30 minutes of my towels drying outside. Not much chance of doing it next week so today was my best shot, it’s probably the one thing it would be nice to have a dryer for.

    I’ve achieved nothing so far today except having the best sleep I’ve had all week, which should hopefully help my stupid illness go away sooner. My voice is gone from all the dry coughing. I remembered I have cough syrup from previous sickness and that seems to be helping.

    The subwoofer is in! Didn’t damage anything (more).

    I wasn’t able to really use it back home because it was too much.

    Forgot how loud it was. Which brings us to yet another rave choooon

    Bit of a Balancing Act moving it around so happy that’s over. All I need to do now is sand and paint the filled bit of wall I fucked and all will be okay.

      Hang a picture over it. Shit plaster looks way better behind a picture.

    I got a pamphlet thingy from my local councillor where she’s whinging about proposed high density housing. She included a link to a (state) government consultation page on it. But their consultation and public opinion process closed 3 months ago. This pamphlet was most certainly not in there on Wednesday, so it can’t be an old one.

    Also, what’s with the photos ministers and councillors put on their propaganda/advertising material? Why do they always look like robots trying to be humans? I don’t think anytime I’ve ever received their photos they actually looked like normal people. Reminds me of zuckerburg. It’s uncanny.

    Just beat Bayle in the Elden Ring DLC. I’ve found a lot of the boss fights since Dark Souls 3 felt like cheap and tedious slogs, but I really liked this one.

    The NPC quest line leading up to the fight was great too, as well as seeing where you fight him before the showdown.

    I think Elden Ring has the best NPC questlines since the first Dark Souls and the DLC just keeps that going

    Second weekend in a row of being stuck in bed due to health condition being flared up due to working in the office the day before.

    Not happy. The employer changed their wfh arrangements after I’d started work with them ☹️

    Heading down the bellarine today with the heavy af studio subwoofer that I put through a wall getting it down stairs the other day. Finally will be reunited with the main speakers.

    Let’s see if I can put it through 2 walls. I like my chances.

          Behringer is pretty good, but I know what you mean about the snobiness.

          I’ve got a few stomp boxes of theirs and they’re pretty good sounding.

          I wouldn’t mind a BCF but they’re hard to find these days.

          Those Opals look amazing!

            I’m still surprised the motors on these BCFs still work.

            It’s hilarious when you’ve aggressively automated and assigned a bunch of stuff and the faders move like they’re possessed.

            Opals are probably one of better decisions I’ve made. There are probably better more honest sounding ones these days for the same $ or less, but they’re still going strong after 14-ish yrs.

    It seems pretty clear that the cops probably aren’t going to be coming out, so I did a walk through of my spare room to try and find anything else that was missing. To be honest, it’s a bit tricky to figure out what’s missing, because I had a lot of things for parts or that I was planning on fixing up eventually. Or stuff that I got just for a project and hadn’t gotten around to using yet. So I don’t actually know every single thing that was in here. That room is basically my version of a garage. He also didn’t take the obvious stuff, like my tv or computer monitor, so there’s nothing my eye is immediately drawn to because of an absence.

    The only 2 things I noticed missing now are a drill set and a Meccano set. But I did also notice another old phone is completely fucked. Like bent in half, with the screen completely detached. The screen is in 4 pieces snapped across my room. I also noticed that from my main room, my 3DS and my only other old phone are both missing. That solidifies in my mind he definitely did get in here, which I haven’t been 100% on because:

    false memories (tangent)

    Most of the things missing from my main room are all things that I remember thinking about bringing with me while I was away. But it was really fucking with my mind, because I distinctly remember thinking about taking say, my aroma diffuser. I didn’t remember taking it (or not taking it). I know it’s weird to take an aroma diffuser to a hotel, but I’d just bought some nice smelly things for it (which I now realise are also missing) a few days earlier. Seriously, that was all fucking with my mind and making me feel like I have dementia. But this certainly solidifies that I am NOT crazy and I did NOT take these things with me, because the old phone and 3DS were both under a stack of paperwork in my drawer. I am certain that the thought of bringing them did not even cross my mind.

    Also I couldn’t remember if I brought my hard drive with me or not. I remember I either brought my hard drive cable or hard drive with me, because on the first day of the steam game sales, I didn’t have enough space to install the games I brought, and I remember thinking it was a shame because I had half of what I needed. I guess my stupid little ranty comments are useful though, because I said I forgot to bring my hard drive in this comment. That also solidifies in my mind that my hard drive was stolen.

    Today was a good test of my new headlight bulbs. They were appropriately glowy. Unlike the old ones, which seemed very dim even before one of them died prematurely.
