Hi,can I "convert" my 6 pin male plugs to 5 pin (pro configuration) simply by removing the centre pin or will it destroy the whole set up? ( Got a pair each of old SR-5 and Gamma ). Want to reconfigure them for Stax SRM-D10. Asking for a friend...

Happy Birthday!

Happy 61st youngster! Cheers!

Saw this in a local parking lot. The first thing that came into my mind was "at least it looks a little better".

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Antonio!

Happy Birthday, Antonio! Make it great.

Happy Birthday Antonio!!

Forum showing one day in the future (or geographic accurate time), so happy another spin Antonio!

Something I saw recently on YouTube. Bourbon Moth Woodworking. It also has several accessories to build for it as well. It'd take a while to explain everything it does, but cutting raised panels easily and safely is just one. I think I'll also build a splining accessorie too. Al built a basic one, but this should be a little easier and safer. There's a mortising attachment as well, but we built one years back for the router table. Might get a start on it tomorrow. More to come. Now I think I'll go eat at Red Robin, since I'm in Concord, CA. Yes, I bought the prettier Blue T tracks!

Well it's earlier than I expected. I'll miss all of you! But I'm here at the pearly gates, talking to St. Peter. I've had a good life! What's that? Oh, just Peter? Peter Johnson? What? I have to leave now? I can't stay here for eternity? You say that you close at 5:00? Oh, OK. Can I come back sometime? Oh cool, thanks. See you next time Peter! Well everyone has their own idea of heaven I suppose. I'm gathering supplies to build a multi-function table saw jig.

The Paris Olympics were last year, a decade ago, or so it feels. So - Metal, Opera, decapitating the aristocracy, and a stadium of Ozzy fans. What's not to like.

I am not sure why I like this so much, but I had to post it somewhere.

The Space Giants. (Ambassador Magma) - It's no U-FO. Also I don't think I will watch all 52 episodes... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061299/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambassador_Magma

Next up on "doing good shit for family" agenda: just gifted Karen's car (2018 Toyota RAV4) to my nephew and niece. Came up in a conversation last night that my brother was helping the kids look for a car. I asked what they were interested in, and based on his reply offered it up. Filled out the title paperwork and tax exemption for gift (though depending on blue book value I may have to pay a bit for being over the gift threshold). Kids came by and grabbed it today. The payback is "future considerations," but after chatting a bit my brother will get me a pair of Ardbeg 25 bottles he recently scrounged up at work. Yum!

@Knuckledragger - not kidding, I look forward to this post from you every year. I'll likely never own an LR again due to price/performance/practicality reasons but a guy can dream, right?

Chesky catalog now on Qobuz

I'm voluntarily getting up at 8AM tomorrow (a Saturday) to take photos of Land Rovers. ^ I wrote that last night and forgot to hit enter. Also I think I managed like two hours of sleep last night. With that said, I made it to the Vineyard Series LR meetup and took a ton of photos. More when I'm less tired.

A few of a real kitty. My son and GF's cat June, looking in on her while they are on vacation. You can see it a bit in the pics, the kids have a hot dog pillow that is awesome!

This vocal performance is amazing. Her control of dynamics, her vibrato (on the "ng"! Do you know how hard that is?!?), her range (those lows!), just...(chef's kiss)

I'll be in my bunk.
