The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Might nip out for a short ride on the Barracuda this morning.
New carburettor arrived yesterday and was fitted during the evening, but I've still got to put the fuel tank back on.

Wandered round the riverside trail. Very peaceful this morning. I only met one lady with her little dog.

Not particularly hungry for breakfast this morning so I'll just have a big mug of decaf and maybe just wait until lunchtime to eat. It's time I started cutting down drastically anyway.

Good morning all.

The curtain rail fell down in the bedroom so I'll have to report that to reception later.

I have heard of swinging from the light and even jumping off the wardrobe but using the curtain rail is a new one for me. Still, whatever floats your boat

Good morning all.
I have been sleeping in more with the darker mornings but feeling groggy 1st thing.
Lunchtime pub visit will be the highlight of my day.

Aye, I'm used to rising at 6am but the last few weeks its become more painful.

JBL Wave Beam 2.

Snap ! I just bought a pair of JBL Tune Beam 2 last week. Was a bit annoyed I had to get JBL app on phone and jump through hoops to get it up and running. It still didn't work. My son suggested tapping one with my finger . I did and they work ! zero noise feature fairly good for the price

Her indoors is gone off to work and left me a load of washing from Austria hiking to put on line. Took me ages to put them up...then it rained . The dog was watching me. I could swear she was smirking

I too was confused with the set-up process. Got there in the end though!

The App works fine for us on Samsung Android phone - the Eq feature is outstanding. Configuring the L&R tap settings is easy in the App, too.

The noise cancellation works really well, listening to music, with Mrs SD talking very loudly beside me, allowed no 'break-through' of her melliflouos tones.

Only slight 'glitch' is that three taps on the track control 'beam' returns the music to the start of the track being listened too, as opposed to returning to the previous track as stated in the instructions. Tbh, the 'glitch' may be an instruction error. Either way returning to the start of the track suits me better! What does yours do?

A veritable bargain at £45, sound quality is more than adequate. Nice bass, mids and highs. I bought these to allow me to curate my Spotify collection whilst Mrs SD watches TV, and vice-versa for her to use them to play games or look at cooking recipes, whilst I watch TV. Perfect for the job. We don't need buds that cost eg £200 as our primary music listening source is the home main music system.

Recommended for sure!

Yours should be good as they are more expensive than mine AFAIK.
