...a lizard that doesn't exist.

In a word, no.

Moobs?

Fencing camp has begun! With three olympic coaches and three current olympians the prospects for beneficial training and conditioning in preparation for the upcoming nationals is good. Saturday's wine dinner helped set the mood for the week I am sure and tonight Mary and I are hosting a coach and olympic athlete dinner at a local restaurant. Mary nixed my idea of wearing a tee shirt with Lance's picture on it to the dinner...can't imagine why. ?

When you interrupt the parade because you ran out of henny and you need to run into the crowd to get more.

It's definitely a shit club.

Second of five days in Jacksonville at the Florida Elite/Hotspurs* summer camp. Stretch and Gram may be the only ones who know this reference.

Audio note speakers are different. I've listened to them a lot and owned the Snell E models they were based upon years ago. Sometimes I wish I'd just kept them.

The perils of a mirrored bar

So first I listened to this playlist, then I listened to Spotify Radio that followed, and it was funny, it deteriorated into King Crimson and covers of King Crimson, so all prog leads to King Crimson.

CJ, this keeps thinking I'm a robot. Hit me up on FB if you want to chat about this.

Those are impressive.

Installed a Draw-Tite 1.25" receiver hitch and built/installed a Thule T2 Pro XT. Supposedly 20-30 minutes. Maybe on a brand new car that didn't have years of... Tolerance Creep, we'll say. Should have paid the extra 100$. What I thought would be an hour was a full day, but it was cold and rainy, so not exactly what one would really want to ride in anyway. Xavier helped me every step of the way, We earned that next ride! If you look closely, you can see the lock wrapped around the wheel and fork Sent from my LG-H932 using Tapatalk

Impressed=creeped the fuck out?

I'm impressed by the dude who decided to dispense with his shirt.

I do this walk leading thing now to keep myself out of mischief. So I ended up volunteering to lead our local Ramblers group on their Summer Awayday on a 12 mile route in the Cotswolds yesterday. Biggest group I've taken out so far - 20 turned up! Anyway, this is the group. The little stream just behind us is the early bit of the river Windrush, which is a tributary of the Thames - it joins the Thames after another 35 miles. They all seem to have had a good time from their comments at the end. I'm the guy with the red hat.

This is the new version of this ES. amp using a pair of Mundorf Supreme EVO instead of input transformers. When using coupling capacitors, the ground is not isolated anymore like a line input transformer with Faraday shield, and <1M grid risistors should be connected to the grids of ECC88 to establish a -420V DC bias voltage, which is the same bias voltage as transformer input version. This capacitor coupled version sounds more straightforward, more transparent, but with less "transformer distortion" which is a fraction of traditional "tuby sound". And finally, the finished amp with power supply unit in one of my friends home.

As I've been promising to do for months I'm finally working on some dynamic amps. Here is something new, a Susy Dynalo with switchers... Running at +/-18V there.

Yeah - Mick. He's done a couple of my longer walks (15 miles or so), and if the weather is sunny and warm - off comes the shirt. Seems it works with the ladies - he's hitched up with one of the unattached ones pretty quickly.
