Mostly a kit from mojotone. Purchased in such a way to get a custom cab and speaker. But ended up modding and swapping out the power and output transformers.

I follow this guy on IG, but since we can't embed IG videos, here's one from twitter. Crazy stuff -

Two of them still live on my bass board, an optical compressor and an analog delay. I think that I have most of the parts to make an Acapulco Gold clone. I should look into finishing that. |

My dad’s uncle lived on a back bay in NJ. His neighbor did the same thing. Same thing started happening. Turned out to be ospreys. DOH!

Usually get between 4-5 miles/kWh. Closer to 4, especially when the weather is cold. So if I pay the local utility 10 cents/kWh, so the cost is something like 2.5 cents/mile.
Maintenance costs are also much reduced (no oil changes or any of that). Mainly limited to tires, wiper blades, cabin filter, and the occasional front end alignment. |
Is this what Zwifting is?

My local gravel event organizer put on a test virtual group ride on RGT. I intended to check it out, but failed to do so. I let my El Camino bed liner project eat up most of my weekend. But that did get done. So yeah.
I just looked and now there is a test group ride on Bkool tomorrow night. I guess RGT wasn't so hot? |

Back from the dentist. Crown installed. Kitchen re-stocked again(because I was out anyway). Picked up a couple things at the hdwe store(not uptown)(lucky), to help in finishing the water line project. Uptown closed up at noon, except for farmacies and food( I scored a couple bottles of gel at the farmacy :bday:). And now I hope to self-isolate for at least a couple weeks. We still await the first case in our little town of ten thousand.

I may want to build something with a reverb tank, but like I said, generating clown wigs is higher on the priority list. |
So it begins. Two people on two separate job sites are “allegedly” tested positive. :twitchy:
I’m upper middle management and don’t travel to job sites since early-mid March, but still people come to the office from time to time. Oh boy. |

It's sunny and beautiful out. After a stressful day at work, I went out for a local ride. It was perfect, except for one thing...
While riding through a new planned community, going approx the posted speed limit of 15MPH, I was overtaken/passed and nearly taken out by a van. I did have to move slightly away from the curb to avoid a nasty grate, but there was NO reason for the driver to overtake me since I was going the speed limit anyway, and I would estimate the rear mirror came within 6 inches of hitting me. I did yell loudly at him afterwards and I did use a bad word, for which I am contrite. However, I am still quite angry and am wondering if I should write a letter to the CEO. It's a big company, prolly the biggest company based in Philadelphia and on the Fortune 50 list of biggest USA companies. Should I write an angry letter, or just let it go? Cross-post in the Advocacy forum?? |

Stephen has a urinary blockage and is in the hospital for two days. $1,800. But he’s worth it.
