The person who came around to assist in working out the sound system got it working!
It still cuts out if you turn it too loud, but we're not loud watchers (okay, B1 isn't a loud watcher and neither is B2).
I watched the opening sequence of Pacific Rim to ensure that it worked and, as ever, found my throat thickening up at the world coming together. I didn't really enjoy Pacific Rim: Uprising. The managed to take the heart of the first movie out of it, and it never really recovered from that point onward.
Even in the opening scenes of PR, you get a good sense of the world and the people in it. You like Raleigh and Yancy and Tendo, Pentecost is the anchor from then to now, and when they start up in the "future" (Yancy died in 2020 - man, I had a moment watching the dates come up), Mako being caught out for trash-talking Raleigh in front of him is so relatable, with Gottlieb and Geizler the comic relief.
Anyway, now I just need to get longer cords for the sound system to go around the room, and in the meantime we need to not trip over the cords so much...

I did get the front curtains up, so now we're not on display to every person walking by. There's been a string of robberies and break-ins to cars in the area, so it's good not to have our complete entertainment system on public display any longer!
Unfortunately, the curtains I was going to hang on the front window turned out to need a wash, so I ran them through the washing machine...and then it began to rain. I hung them out anyway, and have a few buckets up to catch the drips that are happening through the porch roof...
Oh damn, I think it's going to rain all this week...

The chooky-babes are laying again! Well, Q1 (Carambah) is laying and has been for the last couple of weeks, while Sissy has just started up again - just as we sail into winter! Be interesting to see if she lays through winter.

I got some of the study floor polished; but I think I need decent light to do it by, so I've put it off until tomorrow.
B2 helped me move my bed back into place,
Might be an early night for me; B1 got up for about an hour earlier tonight, but that's been about it so far.
Hockey tomorrow, feeling a bit run-down and exhausted, frankly. And it'll likely be raining. Not gonna be fun.
