Home made Shepherds Pie A la Anglais Along with Apple Crumble And Ice Cream For an ex-work colleague and his “posse” (wife / neighbors)

Winter Mode: ACTIVE Between snapping a 3/8 to 1/2 drive adapter and finding a nearly-stripped lug nut it wasn't the smoothest transition but it got done. Test drive went fine and tires roll smooth so I'll chalk it up as a win. Damage lug will be replaced tomorrow. Also converted the tractor to winter duty which went pleasantly well. Now, if it'll just consistently start for the next 5 months that'd be great.

This 130V zener works just fine: 863-1N5952BRLG You can use this 833-2KBP06-BP instead of the 3N254 562R10TSD10 will be just fine.

Lookie what I found. Thanks for the recommendation Mikey.

The greatest letter ever written. What a rollercoaster ride.

The comfort is excellent and the sound is also excellent if just a tad too bright. Easy enough to fix with the KSE1500 EQ... Much better than the Stax stuff but at a hefty premium.

Grill cover would cost more than that thing is worth.

Yay! Snow is here! Pic was taken a few hours ago - probably 4-5" at this point.

Isn't everybody glad that I'm crazy enough to buy this stuff and have Kevin rip it apart?

Condolences, Wayne. My brother in law got killed in a bike accident this afternoon. 38yo, father of two, 6 and 3 yo kids. I can't find words to say how stupid and nonsensical is this.

Lost a dear friend, a truly gentle, beautiful man who was ever so kind hearted and generous with his time, and an incredibly talented and graceful musician... yesterday... to mental health issues that eventually could no longer be contained. We kind of knew it was coming, but it's a tough train to stop. He reached out, he was embraced, he knew that he had support, and yet we all knew, somehow, that this day would come. He had a million and one friends. We will surely miss you, Jon. You were everywhere all the time, forever performing and greeting everyone with your amazing Caymanian smile. Our tiny Island weeps for your tender and tortured soul. You always said that your music was your solace, peace, and grace, and that everything else was pure torture and never made sense. Hope you packed well for your next journey. Tonight is the opening event for the Christmas season here, a tree lighting ceremony that I perform at in front of 5,000 people. Jon was always backstage, every single year, to joke around and keep us all calm before we went on. But mostly to just be there for me as a friend, and to be a part of it. Told me once that it was the only Saturday night that he didn't book for the entire year because a backstage pass with Santa and his elves was just too much fun to miss... and now this. Anyway (sigh), that's him on the right.
