Had some friends up in Maine; nice lunch overlooking the ocean (past a pool), then poking around Kennebunkport and Cape Porpoise. Looked like someone was home in the Bush estate, not pictured but there was a Secret Service vehicle parked there. Also a pic of the lighthouse at Goat Island, in Cape Porpoise.

I got bored waiting for the replacement bolts to arrive and so purchased my own and finished installing the missing bolts. Here is my first CNC project: Making my own Stax 5 pin sockets using ptfe design in vectric vcarve desktop: making some (ptfe) chips and no router bits broken... final result after deburring and running the drill holes all the way through: overall I am happy with the result. The tabs holding the piece into the material could have been smaller and after test fitting the pins the holes should have been 4.6mm rather than 4.5mm but I don't have a 4.6mm drill yet. other than that I have a working Stax socket 🙂 This first version uses 3 tools: 3.175mm end mill, 3mm drill and 4.5mm drill.... its slow and boring changing tools, so I remade the tool paths only using a 3.175mm end mill, ran the code and found the drill holes were smaller than expected. I measured the 3.175mm end mill... 3.13mm... hmm... so I updated the tool data base with the correct diameter and re-ran the cut again.... I realise now I have to measure all my tools and not rely on the size they claim. I could not find any metal m3 nuts that fit the threads but are small enough not to touch each other so I used nylon nuts instead. I tested the insulation between the closest pins pairs to each other and got 300Gohm at 5.5Kv.

I guess YT is learning.. Feed me more Hania... A few too many lingering shots of white people looking earnest. I would be more like Hania, eyes closed and grooving.... But really showed her diversity and incredible playing in a live environment.

Just in case there are a few people that like guitars

@swt61 Keep an eye on the Electronics for sale category on nextdoor.com in case something suitable comes up. This is Marin, after all, so you might get lucky.

I always thought Oscar the grouch would be the perfect opening act. Sorry about the cancelation.

Cased a room full of Victorian windows.

Didn't know until today that this existed! Just started listening (24/96), but looking to be a fantastic compliment to the night before!

Posting in case there are other Kaufman fans. Currently stuck in a YT loop with some stuff I've never seen.

Why not Stax 4070?

Did not see Garbage tonight, as they cancelled the show at the last minute due to illness. Bummer.
