I’m sorry to postpone yet another stream, but I got 2-3 hours of sleep last night, I’ve had nasal drainage most of the day, and I might need to make an all-day trip tomorrow.

I’ve decided to postpone tonight’s scheduled stream because I have a backache (and thus don’t need to be yeeting heavy things onto my workbench). Plus that gives me the opportunity to install the audio hardware that was delivered this afternoon.
