New uke day!

Llamas are assholes.

Incoming today. I gave up a Rolex Submariner and original model Omega Seamaster 300 to help fund this...

LMAO, what's with the Canari jerseys that are named after Game Of Thrones characters? Might be an arm twisters if you can live with the styling-----> http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UYYY33M http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UYYVZ7Y

i hate microsoft remotely administered computer requires an ok to change the kernel... (brilliant) fixed now. does not seem to happen very often

I do have a BOM for the original build. PM me and I can email it to you. In other news, I've been working on a shrunken version of the T2 inspired by Joamat. The bigger challenge was the PS which I've just gotten some boards back from manufacturing. Lot's of SMD parts especially on the bottom of the board. I've also included some 3D CAD drawings of what I think the chassis will look like. The PS board is 206mm (W) x 200mm (D). The chassis will be 12"(W) x 14.25" (D) x 3.33"(H). I'm using the new GR HV PS for all of the elements including the 60V supply. 12V supplies are still 7812/2912. I've also included a 5V supply since I wanted to use the new Digital attenuator. I should have parts next week and I'll show some more pics once I have the board built up. This is going to be fun

once my contract with att is over for this 6 plus I'm going back to a flip phone. The happiest and least anxious I have been in recent memory were times when I either didn't have my phone for weeks at a time. Disconnecting from the internet and the little burst of dopamine from the constant notifications has made for some very unhealthy habits.

I have an iPad in a drawer somewhere. Just never occurs to me to use it. Phone is good enough until it isn't and then I move to the iMac.

This is why (shoot me if you disagree, as I'm sure nearly everyone will), I'm still stubbornly sticking with my (egad!) Blackberry and have yet to venture into the Smart* phone jungle. *Not so smart if you value human interaction, and are not capable (as I surely am not) of staying off of the internet for more than 5 minutes at a time whenever it is available to you. My Blackberry is perfect! It's ugly, it's boring, it's not very functional, but it rings when I get a phone call, gives me an email feed and the ability to reply to important messages that need my immediate attention, or to send texts, or to take an occasional low grade picture of some strange looking item that I'm about to go to Home Depot to replace and will need to see a picture of to ensure I'm buying the right thing. Totally utilitarian, and never tempting to use as a time waster... since I refuse to enable the browsing capabilities (and would obviously switch to an iPhone or the like if ever I give in to that temptation).

Just bought myself bike # 2 on the bay.....I think I got a great deal on it http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMC-Team-Machine-SLR02-Dura-Ace-/271975131144?nma=true&si=2ZCEXPySM3XIvCw5n6FQO%2Flg%2FN0%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I had a blast cooking in the hot sun at the Sausalito Art Fair today. If any of you Marin HC'ers haven't been you really are missing out. I also sold the 009s and HV which is bittersweet to say the least. They served me well as my main rig for many years. I hope they bring as much happiness to their new owner as they did to me
