    ..bugger, phone charger jack seems to not be making proper contact as if something is in the connection slot of the phone. carefully attempted to clean it out (including using compressed air) but still the jack does not fit in securely for some reason.  If it moves in the slightest then it loses contact and stops charging the battery.

    Raining, sometimes thunder, 47f, windows shut and locked.  Will be nasty tomorrow, then in the low 60f's until Saturday when it's cold rain again.  Ugh.

    Hot chicken noodle soup and tea, then it's explore time in the closet of madness to find my guitar tuner and my capo, to sell with the guitar.  I hope I make it back out alive!!! :-O

    Phone battery is low and I am not expecting my ride for about an hour.  I do not have my portable charger with me.  Oh no.

    Complaint:  Weather on Sunday afternoon the 11th looks iffy.  I wanted to go to the symphony in Buffalo to hear Scheherazade (sheh-hair-a-zod) but I'm not going to try to drive 60 miles in freezing rain. sad

    Luckily I haven't bought my tickets yet, but I see on the website that there are still plenty of good seats left.  So, if by some miracle the weather behaves itself for about eight hours on Sunday I just may pick up and go hoping that there is at least one ticket still available at the box office. enlightened 

    This is what I want to hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQNymNaTr-Y   (Don't skimp on the volume.  Play it like it's supposed to be heard.)  Marvelously evocative music.  Four scenes from the Arabian Nights tales.  Always played with a large orchestra.  Very dynamic from barely audible to total immersion in music.

    Morning. Heavyset tin, tile and glass on the city skyline squaring off in futile conflict with  hot yellow sun and overheated pale blue sky a while after dawn ;) And go Falcon Heavy, what an amazing achievement that is - even in an times where miracles seem commonplace wow !

    They can't even decide on what a year is, there are at least three.  Either based on the sun or the moon, or the stars.  At this point in my life I can tell them that a year is exactly the time it takes me to walk to the post office. sad

    I heard Scheherazade performed by the San Francisco Symphony.  Incredible work.  Right up there with 'The Firebird' in my book.

    Renaissance the band did their own version, also amazingly beautiful: 

    I saw it live.  Teared up, amazing musicians.  I ws so lucky to get tickets, it was a small venue.

    After literally emptying out the closet and discovering things I forgot I had, I did locate my capo and tuner behind an old walking boot and the laundry basket, so I now have a complete custom guitar kit to sell.  Should get me March rent and some food money, and hopefully I can sell my music keyboard for food and beer money.  This will give me enough time to finish my final composition.  And, of course, enjoy some fine Austin microbrews!

    Pulled a leg muscle, but since I found an unopened bottle of Bayer aspirin, 200 tablets, the ache is fading away nicely.  Small ouchie time.  But I found extra audio cables and an HDMI video cable I can throw in with my Raspberry Pi development kit, making it even more valuable, so all in all a worthwhile efffort.

    Now to marinate a HUGE chicken thigh in spicy bbq sauce, Sweet Baby Ray's to be exact.  Tomorrow will be yummy! :-)

    Renaissance the band did their own version, also amazingly beautiful: 

    I saw it live.  Teared up, amazing musicians.  I ws so lucky to get tickets, it was a small venue.

    I always push Scheherazade to anybody who will listen.  It's in my list of "must hear live at least once in your life" pieces.  I drown in the music and tear up at some points.  I heard it live first at the Kennedy Center about 30 years ago, and I've heard it a couple more times in other halls.  Very emotional music.  I'm particularly looking forward to hearing it at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo because of the acoustics there.  I've gushed about the acoustics at Kleinhans before, but I don't mind saying it again.  The theater is very plain.  No ornate carvings on the wall or ceiling, no windows or major doorways, no big light fixtures on the wall, no chandeliers, no support columns blocking the sight or sound.  The hall is designed to let the audience see the orchestra and funnel music from the stage to the audience.  It's designed as a parabola with the orchestra centered around the focus.  The music comes to everybody in parallel waves to all seats in the audience.  Hearing something at the Kleinhans is like standing directly behind the conductor.  Crisp, clear, loud.  Close your eyes and you can hear each of the instruments arrayed around you.  I usually sit front center balcony so I can see everybody clearly but the music is not "down there" on stage, it's hanging right in front of you, left right and center.  This is why I'm so centered on hearing the grand dynamics of Sheherazade at Kleinhans.  I really hope I don't miss out on it.

    Scheherazade: Wikipedia   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheherazade_(Rimsky-Korsakov)

    Kleinhans Music Hall: Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kleinhans_Music_Hall  --- "Kleinhans Music Hall, is a 2,400 seat music venue located on Symphony Circle in Buffalo, New York.[5] The home of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, was built in the late 1930s and opened October 1940. The music hall was built as a part of the last will and testament of Edward L. and Mary Seaton Kleinhans, owners of the Kleinhans men's clothing store. The couple left close to 1 million dollars for the music hall's construction. The building was designed by Eliel Saarinen with his son, Eero Saarinen and "was recognized as one of the greatest concert halls ever built in the United States".[6] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989[4][7] and "is renowned for its acoustical excellence and graceful architecture."[8]"

    PS:  I complain a lot about having retired back to this area of the country and living in the boondocks and living amongst farm people to whom culture is what you use to make cheese with.  I miss the culture of bigger cities.  But there are three things that this area has that I'm very grateful for.  1)  I live just 25 miles from The Chautauqua Institute where I have access to summer symphonies, operas and famous lecturers for quite low prices.  2) Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo.  And 3) WNED classical radio from Buffalo.  One of the few 24/7 classical radio stations left in the country.

    Well.....   I wasted all day troubleshooting why a frikken scene would not simulate, or render. Ended up installing latest daz, Using DDU to uninstall and reinstall drivers for my 1070. All to no avail. I decided screw dforce, I hate that guy. So I deleted the dress, put on a new outfit without dforce, saved scene, rebooted computer.

     

    I reopened the scene, as soon as I opened it my 1070 fan went nuts, had a message on the bottom of the screen saying applying smoothing for 20 minutes. WTF eh? It finally shut up, so I hit the render button. Hangs for 20 minutes, in task manager not responding. Force stop studio in task manager, reboot, try it again. And again, and again, same results.

     

    So I get pissed, this is wasting the little time I have to play, I have a job going on until at least friday, 10 hour+ days. I start going through every single thing to turn off smoothing altogether, see if that helps. As I am going through the list, what do I see? That dforce dress I deleted still there for some reason.

     

    It turns out I had two versions of the dforce there, apparently I had loaded one fitted to G8 eyelashes, so there was an extra tiny dress hiding in her eyelashes apparently...... Deleted that and I could finally simulate and render again! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111
