Got a lot done in town. Costco used to have really nice AI tuna (previously frozen but really nice pieces). Over the last year, they have been getting less and less red with more and more of the white silverskin and connective tissue. For that price, I am expecting sashimi grade.
Picked up a piece today that only had a little bit of the silverskin - it has been seasoned, is resting at room temperature and will be seared for a few moments on top and bottom. The wasabi is resting (using regular sushi wasabi and some stuff that is supposed to be pure freeze-dried root - do a taste test...
Surfing after dinner - also got something interesting in the mail, project for this weekend. A guy in England is making a Software Defined Radio called the SDRplay. It has a USB port and an antenna jack and will receive from 100kHz up to 2 GHz. The bandwidth is 8MHz so I can be monitoring all of a given ham radio band and look for signals outside of where I am currently listening. It is not a transmitter - receive only but it is a great add-on to my station and it appears to play nice with the software I already use for my HF rig. Works with Linux, Windows and Mac and others. I will have to try the Android platform as this would make for a very portable rig...
Finally, I received a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere 14. These are stripped-down versions of the two major Adobe programs but they are just fine for me. I use Lightroom for 99% of my photography and there are enough of the 'pro' features in both apps to let me do what I want.
