I will probably lose my audiophile club card — but I admit to the other way ‘round. Beautiful day I go outside to play thinking in the evening I’ll have time for tunes. Then I’m so tired after supper I just want to sleep. My system can be dormant for days when the weather is nice. Having a nice view out the music room makes me feel guilty if I’m sitting inside on a nice day. But, being lazy is easy i admit.
