Jon :vinyl:<p>Pretty poor this from Universal. </p><p>Especially seeing as pre-orders have been open for months. </p><p><a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/NickDrake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NickDrake</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Universal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Universal</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/UMC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UMC</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/xp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xp</span></a></p>
Jon :vinyl:<p>Well, there are some good ones. Certainly some worth a lot more than I paid for them. </p><p>And then there is this one. Not entirely sure what it is but it has sold on Discogs for £120.

Jon :vinyl:<p>Five cassettes full of Hard Bop now, will do some more today. I mocked up covers for them all. They get the Blue Note treatment whether they are on that label or not, I just like the design and they look better on the shelf 😄 <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/cassettes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cassettes</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/tapes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tapes</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/HomeTapingIsKillingMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeTapingIsKillingMusic</span></a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/xp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xp</span></a></p>

Jon :vinyl:<p>Starting to buy up old decent quality cassettes when I see them to re-record. These were all less than £1 each.

Kelsey Jordahl<p>I've got a few post-evacuation actions to follow up on: to improve my offsite computer backup, to stand up a VPN endpoint and Home Assistant that doesn't depend on the NAS (which I had packed up and taken with us), and make a sprinkler setting to just run all of the irrigation on repeat. But all in all, the evacuation went smoothly, and most importantly, ended well.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spokane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spokane</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AubreyFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AubreyFire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/xp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xp</span></a></p>
Kelsey Jordahl<p>In the end, it was some disruption and time spent, but no immediate danger or loss of property. It actually turned out to be a good exercise in what we would need to grab and go in a future evacuation. We could have been out in 10 minutes if needed, but took longer to make sure we had what we wanted if we would be gone for a few days, not just what was essential. Many of our neighbors never left (the level 3 order was downgraded shortly after we had left).</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spokane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spokane</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AubreyFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AubreyFire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/xp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xp</span></a></p>
Kelsey Jordahl<p>I had actually stopped to get a picture of the fire on the way home, right before the first evacuation order!</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spokane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spokane</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AubreyFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AubreyFire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/xp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xp</span></a></p>
Kelsey Jordahl<p>That was an interesting few hours! I was on my way home from a hike when I heard that there was a level 3 (“GO NOW”) evacuation order at home due to a nearby wildfire m. I got home 10 minutes later, helped load up the car with the dogs and our emergency stuff, and turned around and left. We spent a few hours at a friend’s house and out to dinner, as crews worked on the fire and the evacuation order was downgraded to Level 2 and then Level 1. We just decided to come home and all evacuation orders have been lifted now.</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/wildfire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wildfire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Spokane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spokane</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AubreyFire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AubreyFire</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/xp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>xp</span></a></p>
Jon :vinyl:<p>This REALLY annoys me. Don’t sell things for under your minimum amount. Happens more and more often now.
