18.01.2025 Subwoofer gone.

 ~o~

  Saturday 18th 39F/4C [8.00] Another grey and misty day is promised.

 Up at 6.45 after a quiet night. No after dinner coffee last night. 

 I have to drive into town to buy a cable. They open at 9am so I ought to allow half an hour each way. All so I can demonstrate a subwoofer which I am selling for peanuts. Just to be able to make more room upstairs. For storing other stuff. 

 The Danish small ads website seems to be dominated by amateur resellers. Who want to turn a fat profit from those who are downsizing. Without their paying any tax on their invisible "business" of course. 

 9.30 Back from town with the required cable. It allows me to plug my subwoofer into the TV headphone socket. Which is set to subwoofer in the TV settings. The result is quite startling on YT music. I wish I had known about this before. 🙉

 Making good progress on the kitchen while I wait for news. The washing machine is slightly set back now. So it doesn't dominate the room. Plenty of room for loading and access around the machine door. I still have to attend to the end of the wall this side of the oven. It is clearly overhanging. Causing the oven cabinet to project even more than necessary.

 12.30 My buyer is still on his way. Expected ETA not later than 17.00. So I can go shopping. Lunch first.

 14.30 Back from grocery shopping. Still no edible, organic bananas.

16.45 A flying visit. My subwoofer has gone. To an enthusiast putting a secondhand system together. I imported it direct from the USA in 2004. Rather mixed feelings about seeing it go after all this time. I hope he has as much fun with it as I did. His wife may not be quite so accommodating as mine was. I was a huge beast!

 Fortunately I was able to place it on "the stage." A raised area beyond the open stairwell. It was where our series of TVs once stood. From ancient secondhand 29" CRT to modern 55" flat screen. Always accompanied by loudspeakers and later on, by subwoofers. All the better to enjoy music and film. 

 The image is from my subwoofer blog in 2007. A 46" JVC "HD Ready" LCD screen at that time.  Mission 753 Freedom Main and Center speakers. A giant, 6' high subwoofer built into the wall on the left. Cue the sting of melancholic nostalgia! 

 Dinner was sardines on toast with cherry tomatoes. Grilled in the new oven. [Slightly too well!] I must cut back on the times.

 I think one of my goldfish may be unwell. It has been wafting its tail in a head down position. It was doing it yesterday as well. Though it appears normal at other times. Tired? Sleeping? Too full?
