We're going to try a smoked chili tonight. Using our award losing chili recipe as the base, I'm going to sear a pound and a half of chuck, move it to a bowl and smoke it with the Smoking Gun. After getting various peppers and tomatoes going, along with some stout, the meat will go back in and we'll see what we get.

Led Zeppelin -- Physical Graffiti (Remastered)

I had satellite for more than a couple of years. I'd suggest moving, or possibly suicide.

Here are some photos of my two safety razors, fusion razor, and badger brush which I had all customised. The safety razor heads are by Above the Tie [ H1 & M1 ], and I had the handles custom made by a local metals engineer using stainless steel and black ebony. The handle is same with the fusion. The brush handle was also modified with stainless steel. The same engineer did the brackets that secures the headband I did to my SR-009's ear cups. I use a fusion razor because I shave my head, and I find that's the safest way to do it. Three close ups of my brush.

Good piece - Remembering Leonard Nimoy’s Mr. Spock, One of History’s Greatest TV Characters http://www.vulture.com/2015/02/remembering-leonard-nimoys-mr-spock.html?mid=twitter_nymag "The show's affinity for Shakespearean flourishes is well-documented, but in in a sense, Spock himself might be the most Bard-like character of them all: He's a green-blooded Othello who has to be twice as good as the full-blooded human officers to earn their respect, and who must tamp down his natural passions despite constant racist needling and doubts about his loyalty."

Just finished watching the first season of Transparent. It was great! I would definitely recommend sticking with it Al (although the kids do stay pretty selfish throughout).

And why didn't you?

Second go and yes, it's mostly (very) good beyond the pure production values. What a great, analog sounding album!

The small-house-fan in me says that should also serve double-duty as an ironing board.

Pixies -- Doolittle (MFSL vinyl needledrop)

You mean, if it didn't cheer us up earlier when Knucks posted it?

That's very nice PICaudio you went to a lot of trouble on those. I agree that using the remote shaft method is not as straightforward as it might seem. I thought it would be good practice to keep the inputs and the mains switch at the back so did this with my Compact KGSShv. I originally used 6mm aluminium tube for the shafts and made nylon bushes for the front panel. To get a nice feel to the operation this has to be made well with shafts lining up accurately etc. paradoxper demanded a different layout with big central attenuator so had to abandon this principle. It is as much work to do the wiring as it is to make the remote operators work well. I have not found any increase in noise by wiring up to the front and the benefit for me is that the feel of a pot/attenuator mounted directly to a thick front panel is better. I did find an extension kit on the internet which had brass connectors and a brass front panel bush. The rod was 6mm solid ally. http://www.vt4c.com/shop/program/main.php?cat_id=35&group_id=2 EXT- KIT- 26 and 30 This is how my original build looked. i still have those input pcbs lying around if anyone wants one
