    I’m telling you….give the $20 Amazon orient specials a shot. I’ll never go back to in-ear again. 

    Per your suggestion, I’m trying them. Definitely more enjoyable than the garbage hearing aid experience. However while overall the experience is better I lose the highs the aids amplify? That and when I put them on with glasses temples and hearing aids I start to look like I have Alfalfa ears!

    Whole milk would be a downgrade for Graeters. Stuff is literally the texture of cold, sweetened butter. 
     

    Edit: and it ain’t cheap…like $18/gallon. But god is it good. It’s seriously the only vanilla ice cream I can eat plain. 

    Sugar Butter is that what she calls you?😂

    Pardon me for actually putting this thread back on topic, but here were the goings on at Chez Zline tonight. The annual spring ritual of adding, adjusting and tweaking my outdoor lighting.

    There’s 7 pathway lights, 2 wall-wash flood lights, 1 conventional diffused flood, 2 mini-spot lights, 4 fixed-beam spotlights, 5 adjustable beam width floodlights and 2 uplights , all powered by 2 150W transformers.
     

    The two green marks are the two additions, which were the mini-spotlights. The yellow mark was an upgrade, from a fixed beam to an adjustable spot. 

    Everything is low voltage (12V) LED, and everything is from Volt Lighting except the two up lights, which are WAC. 

    The only other planned changes this year are the two new garage lights I almost have ready, which I’ll post about separately. I do want to add one downlight above the center of the garage door and a down light focused on the front door at some point, but…in time. 
     

    Edit: yes, add this to the list of stuff I’m a geek about. 😂

    Migrating birds probably hate you!

    My people misspell osha. 

    Long story (attempted to be) shorter.

    3 months ago I had a customer in to run sample parts, they brought a "chemical" that they used in their home made initial R&D trials. .... Like 20cc's of it. We needed to dip a q tip 15-20 times. In, out no one knew anything.

    Well I sold them a round 2 of testing... Outside of my view, my engineer ran up to "EHS command" a request, per our proticals.. Properly.. about them bringing in this chemical AGAIN (the little fvcker knew it would cause problems, it's just what he does) which he was a willing participant of the first time.... 

    Anyway, his request for permission, caused a total effing melt down in EHS. They read 3 lines of the MSDS, which is a totally useless document and devastating in the hands of IGNORANT anti production EHS people who have no idea what it means. anyway.. and they see the word FATAL if inhaled.... 

    Now an MSDS is a tool for HazMat response teams and fire departments dealing with 10,000 gallon , New Palistine Ohio issues, NOT 20cc of lighter fluid. I'm about to lose a 1/4 million $ sale for STOOOOOPID people. I throw a shit hemorage fit. Local EHS calls my "bluff".. Game on MF'r. (ohhh they totally effed up calling me out !!!) 

    I get corporate EHS involved, they dig into the PEL and TWA OSHA level, who allow 400 PPM, 8 hrs exposure (TWA, 500 ppm PEL 4 hrs) per work day, every day for 80 yrs.... Corp looks it over... "this is in the same class that I start my Charcoal gril with every night...." .. YEP, I say, But local saw the word FATAL....... IF YOU DRINK 55 gallons in one night...

     

    Corp will give him a raise, and I am free to have my customer come, totally unencumbered. Ain't like grand... and I lost 2 efing days of planning a mass bombing... (mostly kidding on that last part, it was going to be a very localized explosion!). Room 201... to be exact....   

    Not just EHS but any bureaucracy function like Quality! Medical Device was the worst, anybody and I mean anybody could look at a work instruction or a process and say ’I think that’s wrong’ . We would then have to go through an extensive process of method and testing to PROVE the idiot was an Idiot! When dealing with idiots it can almost be impossible to prove they are. Kind of like a two year old saying endlessly Why!
