All Activity

I've been cleaning the house and doing some organizing. I'm maybe 5% of the way there..... 😮 Karen would always call me a hoarder....and she's right, for certain things (like audio gear). But today I gave the second of two sets of wicker baskets away. Twenty-seven baskets given. Twenty-fucking-seven! I have a long road ahead of me. But it's feeling good to clean, and lots of goodies being given away. I've had 8 visitors collecting things between yesterday and today. I think one, maybe two more tomorrow; and one Monday. That's if I don't add any more stuff, which will likely happen. Twenty-seven fucking wicker baskets....🤣 EDIT: pics of 21 of the 27 (a few look the same, but not repeats), the others I had in another area and brought them over when one person came by

It closed as a hotel in the 1930's, and was essentially derelict. It came perilously close to being demolished, but after a massive campaign in the 60's it was saved. Alhough it was only in the early 2000's it was restored to the tune of £800m. The station behind it is the Eurostar London Terminus. It is quite an experience getting on a train at St Pancras and getting off at Gare du Nord in Paris. The superb front of Euston station even after massive protest - demolished and now a bland and functional frontage and appearance.

I don't have the need for one of these as I scored a headamp GSX- mini locally sometime ago, but I don't mind getting a board or two and participate in the effort. Better thermal management, with some large copper areas and holes as in the headmp designs might help a lot. Can we fit an smd GRLV in the same space as the meanwell+regs space?

Yes, it´s St Pancras

Once in a while I come across AI slop:

Great photos. Is that St Pancras station?

My daughter and her partner love Rosalina.

Good walking Mikey!

Thanks again everyone. I have the Falcon all loaded up for the long drive to Northern Seattle tomorrow. So just one last post for any last minute supporters. https://givebutter.com/WalkforBelonging2026/michaels-walking-team Hey look, I found some spring... cheers and thanks - Mikey

Yes, Dear.

Not really, just aged. Such is life, Jose. I thought they could be film for the 3 week delay.

I don't use film for pragmatic reasons... I took the R6 MKII with me. By the way... I found this. 10 years difference?... shit, I have aged badly 🙂

Whenever I visit London, I always end up taking photos of these three places. The colors really catch my eye: blue, red... I'm posting some of the many photos I took, although I haven't looked at them all yet. In my defense, it's hard to concentrate while chasing after your pre-teen son... although I did manage to sneak a nod to Wings.

Assuming they’re film pictures.

Not bad, but for my taste too “Rosalia wanna-be”. The band is great nonetheless.

I've finally been able to see the photos I took in London (I was there 3 weeks ago)

VERY lovely, thanks! Amelia sounds wonderful and I had never heard Gregory before; they sound very good together. Downloaded a 24-bit version to try on one of my systems, a fair bit of Sylvan Esso's stuff sounds pretty good.

Fun! Adorable, manic, quirky, talented....the whole band is very good! .....A CHAIR flute! 🤣

Speaking of covers

I admit I don't listen to much Spanish music (ironic, right?), but she has something...

Not bad at all.... I have read in some forums that people are saying how much Ian has lost his voice....you can see some strain there, but still pretty great..... Now I want to check out the song they did with Alison Moyet!

With the Hormuz shipping situation, thought I’d mention Richard Misrach’s Cargo oversized photo book arrived recently and I swear it is one of the best printed books I own. Stunning. Online? Less so. Check it out or as the prints tour. https://fraenkelgallery.com/portfolios/richard-misrach-cargo https://museemagazine.com/culture/2025/1/15/nbsprichard-misrach-cargo-ships-pace-gallery
