More goodies arrived today. I bought another mortar and pestle. This one is made from stainless steel. It has 2 plastic lids that fit the mortar with a hole for the pestle… but! The hole is too small for the pestle to fit through. Oh well, typical bs.
I already have a mortar/pestle made from stone. It’s great for grinding fine, not so great for grinding medium or course. In fact, at least half ends up finely ground even when I don’t want it fine. Like dried peppers, it’s not good for making pepper flakes.
I hope this new mortar, being very smooth, won’t grind fine. Instead, just crush dried plants. Not turn them into powder.
Also bought some cheap headphones. The reason I chose these… the connections. I can plug into a standard 6.35mm audio jack, a 3.5mm computer audio jack and a 1.5mm mini jack used with current game consoles, laptops and tv’s. Basically these can be used with a wide range of audio devices.
For some reason I seem to get in the mood to play music after 10pm. My walls are a little thin. Normally I play a song on my desktop speakers and play my guitar along with it. A lot of sound.
Now I can play recorded music through my headphones and uncover one ear so I can hear myself play along. I cut the sound level in half doing it this way, much quieter.
They are a bit large but very comfortable to wear. (the photo bomber had to get in the pic)
