Two day old Chinese leftovers and a beer.

My brother's father-in-law's funeral was today. We spent most of the day there with the family.

Wife got her and the kids sushi from Kroger for supper but I wasn't in the sushi mood.

Good wind down and go to bed.

I find video isn't that bad depending on the streaming service, but where I really note the difference is in the audio. DTS-HD MA is significantly better on a good system compared to the compressed garbage they send over the wire.
The audio is the biggest thing for me. DTS is far superior to Dolby even in a good 5.1 configuration. And none of the streaming services can support the bandwidth of DTS.

This is why Kaleidescape is a thing. It's a stupidly expensive media server/player that stores digital copies of bit-for-bit movies. So you get all the bandwidth (video and audio) for all your content. You still have to buy the movies and they download to the server (60GB+ for a 4k blu-ray with high bitrate DTS-MA audio).

If I had home theater money, I'd have one. You can't get a better digital source.

Morning. First coffee going. Need to finish installing a new ceiling fan in the boys room. Hope this one works compared to the one I tried installing yesterday

Today is going to be a good day. Got a couple new omnibus's and comics. Pups and I went for a 3 mile walk. Got the last ticket for my favorite area at PNG stadium for baseball game tonight. Heat broke and and it's 65 out and now to go fishing before the game.
We’re in the same weather band. I’m helping @xterraography change leaf spring bushings, grilling some steaks, then going to go fishing to hopefully catch some eating size snakeheads.
