Made what is likely simply as aesthetic upgrade to the Menace TC - replaced the naked Antec . Funny to be tinkering with it 11 years after building it. Old Naked Triad (edit, because I can't remember shit)

Bleach?

I really hate changing tires on my dirt bike. I road this thing do death. It's the same type of tire.

This is a clown shower for children. #HeadCaseComix 24 hour long exposure of the Eastern Veil Nebula, taken from apartment roof.

Enjoy Nate. Nice to see you tinkering again

Some of us are older than old.

Better to be old than the alternative.

God, it feels like it wasn't that long ago when this was brand new. We is old, Nate.

Finally getting it to dress more modestly.

Blackened, COVID-19 Edition.

Appetizers, tuna salmon poached egg and burrata not pictured because I ate it. In honor of our friend who is a citizen of the former Soviet Union we are having Russian Roulette strawberries. Half the strawberries were injected with Remy Martin Cognac so you can guess the rest.

Drunk and maudlin.

Today's batards. They (well, the one I ate, anyway) turned out very nicely.

Treat the rice a as a "lead item". Cook it in a rice cooker - the instructions will give you an estimated cooking time to work with, and the better ones have a countdown indicator, and a "keep warm" function , to help decouple your dependency on needing to serve the rice "right now" Would a PERT chart help?

I could blame the Marc Rebillet browsing or Firebird research...

Later that night

Better view-

I bet it was caused by that 5G stuff. You can't trust it.

Today has been a nice and interesting day. I finished a mini T2 with active battery. The copper color board on right side in picture in previous post. Late afternoon I were ready for the first power on. One DMM to measure one side verses ground and another to measure the other side. High voltage clicked in – no explosion – on side showed a few volts verses ground while the other almost 400 volt verses ground. It took some time for me to realize that the 400 volt reading in fact was the BIAS. I’m getting to old for this. When I found the right measuring points I had very nice readings. Batteries are always interesting. Readings as follow. Left +194V and -443V, right +196and –443V. So they also seem to be alright. (using 640V instead of original 740V) Connecting headphone. Very noticeable hum but the music sounded good. After a while very annoying noise came. The noise almost disappeared when I approached the trimmer with the screwdriver but came back when I pulled back my hand. Turned power off and changed the small tubes, power up again, lower my guard and went for a cup of coffee and… it all exploded… So tomorrow I have to fix the power supply for the second time within a week. On amplifier board visible; burned traces, resistors and one popped transistor. Maybe I should feed ducks.
