What's everyone up to right now?

Added Spotify to the playstation. Wondering if I can mute the game sound and open the music app to listen while gaming.

Edit: I can, but oh my gosh the volume is so low. Might need to check about hooking up the other headphones later.

Reedit: got it fixed.

There is a plastic "shark fin" cover over the antenna on a lot of these newer cars. Mine seems to have gotten knocked off last time I got my car washed in the robo-wash. Looking online, one can replace that cover by just faking a glue job on with a new one. Can't be sure that that would be watertight, so I took my econobox up the the dealer to get the part ordered and schedule a replacement. Parts and labor, almost $600. The replacement is black plastic. I'm not going to barf up the money for getting it painted. What a racket. The headliner has to come down, because the antenna cover is attached to the roof from inside. Ima sell this thing and buy another antique vehicle that I can work on. That shit is cheaper to fix and easier to work on. The radio still works fine; I should have just put a gob of sealer on it.

Got two more builders coming tomorrow for estimates on the new room. Then we’ll have six to pick from.

Trimmed my fingernails. Since I ceased the habit of picking them short, I've had to trim them at least twice a month.

Lucky you... mine need a trim almost every week.

Yeah, that guy on the video you put on the youtube thread does like those diamond ones better... but he does caution against cheap ones.
A good thing about those is that they don't require all the water that mine does which makes for a more convenient experience and the particles should be more even than on mine.

I think I'm going to go with something like yours to start.  I'll have room to grow later.

I just had an epiphany. I can use the diamond stones to get a knife 'basic sharp', and then use the kit to refine the edge and strop the burrs.

Not sure that will work... I would guess that that shouldn't be better than use only the diamond stones.

The kit is $20. I was going to pay $12 for a strop, and $5 for an angle guide, so the effective cost of the basic kit is only a few dollars more for the stones.

Reading up on the sharpening kit. The strop provided is crap. I can find better for about $7-8.
