Lots of work, today, getting ready for the move. Then this. I dunno if Loosey loved it, but I sure did. Colie got about half an hour of Loosey cuddles, too. Mostly White Cat, our male adult cat, even licked Loosey on the face.

I think the large Santos was the right decision. The Santos is gorgeous, and is extremely comfortable (I was able to size it just right). The strap might even be vegetable tanned, but I can't figure out how to get the deployant buckle on (it was not installed from the jeweler). The bracelet is what I'll wear it on, but I'll stop by after my move, next week. My mother also gave me back my dad's watch.

Busy cleaning way too much this past weekend and snapped this of our two cats. I’m surprised they both crashed out with the “terror machine” sitting right there. Kylie (part bengal) on the left, Abby on the right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just learning some electronics from this guy...

They appear to be solar-powered.

The pictures do not do her justice. I say this in a professional non judgemental totally without pervy intentions sort of way.

Decided to sell my 116610LV (Green Sub) because I don’t wear it much. Got $1000 more than I paid for it brand new last year, which was nice! Thank you Rolex for restricting supply of all the steel sports models. Am using the funds for a 1969 yellow gold 1803 Day-Date for my wife’s 50th next year. Yup, birth year watch time, roast me ...

The T4 is now available for preorder. More info at Beezar.com.

In the end we all are

So this is not a diet recommendation, but if you make guac and then brown a bunch of butter and whip them together, it improves almost anything you put it on. Tonight I put it on short ribs. No pix too stuffed.

I spent most of this past weekend working with JimL and Kevin tweaking my Megatron.( I was just the coolie equipped with a soldering iron and a multi meter and Jim and Kevin supplied all the brain power. ) Kevin suggested that I share the information here. My goal was to raise the standing current to the plate of the driver tube (12AX7). It's set at 0.5mA in Kevin's original design. Kevin has mentioned in his June 28, 2012 post that the only thing stable at 0.5mA is the 2SA1968 which has since been obsolete. My build uses KSA1156 in place of the 2SA1968 so this tweak may be more applicable to similar builds. This tweak, at the end, turned out to be the few relatively simple steps below: 1. Reduce R6 and R7 (2.2K) to about 1.3K which sets the plate CCS at 0.85mA. I used 3K to parallel with the 2.2K to get to this value. This higher current also raises the standing plate voltage of the 12AX7 from around 245VDC to about 275VDC (this will vary some with the tubes used). 2. Reduce R11, R23 cathode resistor (3.3K) to about 2K so that it pulls slightly more current and brings the plate voltage down to around 245VDC. I used 4.7K to parallel the 3.3K to get to 1.99K. We need minimum 50V differential between the plate and the B+ (300VDC) to allow for the driver voltage swing without clipping. 3. Because the resulting higher current draw of the front end, you need to adjust R19, the drop resistor, to maintain the 300VDC for front end B+. I like my Megatron’s sound better with this tweak. YMMV. It may be possible to raise the driver current even higher subject to the plate dissipation and CCS transistor limit. I am happy and content with the outcome now but may experiment further in the future. I am also hoping someone may be interested in running a SPICE model and/or observe the outcome with a scope to validate.

Finance watch and drink wine while wearing it for extra pleasure, playa.

Just an update that I'm still packing boxes up. Also there was a mix up with the case screws I received so I'm getting that fixed with the supplier. Should get the correct screws tomorrow

Good luck Ozgur!!! All the best on new ventures

Stop makin' THAT BIG FACE...

Bol sans, kardesim. Whatever you're selling, I'm buying.

Dollar is 5,30 TL now... I quit the job. Now I'm selling everything I own to establish a company. Computer and DAP are sort of sold. Waiting for speakers. I'm going to get into e-trade. this is the last resistance i can make. Wish me luck.

Love it! You're a lifesaver. I just got an HD800 and a Focal Clear cable. I'm far past listening to different cables for differences, but Cardas is like the Le Creuset of their industry. I don't have to worry about whether it's the absolute best or whether it's going to break.

Well fencing gear is very thick and heavy and the temperatures at the venue were 36C/97F with humidity hovering at 80%, so at some point the gear has to come off and well...

https://www.stressless.com/en/stressless-recliners/stressless-nordic/nordic-classic Ekornes makes some truly fabulous stuff. I sat in one of these and have never sat in anything nicer.

Well, obviously.

My budget is probably closer to the fake eames lol

I bet the activities coordinator for the tour group gets a one star rating on TripAdvisor for this.

TMI perhaps, but..... I have never wanted to get spanked by a sexy but angry-looking woman.....until now.....

Found out last night when I picked up Lance and Mary at LAX that at camp Lance got beat by a girl. This is the girl- Valentina Vezzali - Vezzali is the first fencer in Olympic history to win three Individual Foil gold medals at three consecutive Olympics – Sydney 2000, Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008. She also won fourteen gold medals at the World Fencing Championships, six in individual competitions (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2011) and another eight in team competitions (1995, 1997, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013), plus four silver medals (two individual, 1994 and 2006, and two with Italian team, in the same years) and three bronze medals (individual, 1995, 1998 and 2012). In European championships, she won nine gold medals (individual: 1998, 1999, 2001, 2009, 2010; team: 1999, 2001, 2009, 2010), three silver medals (individual: 2003, 2007; team: 2007), two bronze medals (individual: 1993; team: 1998). More training is needed obviously.

I took a leave of absence from work. It was a pretty painless process. I'll be back after my surgery. I feel much, much better.

I posted a BOM that I used for the 3 I built. It’s probably in the Dynalo mk2 thread, but is up to date. Let me know if you do not find it and I’ll send it to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have the bicolor version. I like it.

No, but I can differentiate them from the other variety of stunts. Dream Wife are awesome, thanks for sharing.

And now dessert

Warm Evening Brit dining

I have not worn anything other than my oyster perpetual either. Love the simplicity and craftsmanship of the thing. Weight is good...perhaps a bit heavy but not bad. HS
