Picked up the world’s heaviest box fan to attempt to clean the air better in the shop.

I'll definitely check out that performance. I'll listen to 20 & 23 for sure. Not sure how far I'll get after that. Yeah, Beethoven's not bad for a deaf dude.

More sticks for the bench.

As a follow-up to this. thx. This should have the recordings for the Mozart 20 and 23 (above). The Paul Badura-Skoda Edition - Concerto Recordings Paul Badura-Skoda 2017 https://album.link/i/1452769856 Example: Not all 47 tracks and 8 hours worth. But: Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K.466 Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 23 in A Major, K.488 -- Paul Badura-Skoda, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Milan Horvat Not the greatest recordings out there - but powerful performances, both by Paul and Vienna Orchestra. and all of these: Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.1 in C Major, Op.15 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.2 in B Flat Major, Op.19 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.3 In C Minor, Op.37 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.4 in G Major, Op.58 Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.5 in E Flat Major Op.73 -"Emperor" -- Paul Badura-Skoda, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Hermann Scherchen This Beethoven that people are talking about these days. The kids got some talent with the whole piano music writing and stuff. He should branch out and try some other genres as well. I will keep and eye on him.

It was so great meeting up with y’all!!! And the Pliny was an awesome bonus! Hi Mike!!!

Michelle and I met up with Shelly today for a few beers and a good post covid-times catch-up after what's been far too long. Great afternoon, and we even managed to find her Pliny on tap that was open in new years!

I am hoping some magical fairies show up at night night and do it all for me. No Steve, not what you are picturing.

Nice. It’s a good workout getting all milled up.

the audio signal goes into the cathode of the EL34 and is amplified by each EL34 by about 9 times. (5.17Vrms into the cathode and 46.7Vrms out of the anode)

To help people with troubleshooting here are the valve DC operating points measured with respect to ground on a known good stock mini T2. Inputs are shorted to ground. No load on output. All components stock values and DC PSU voltage rails within 1% of schematic when under load. Obviously the two el34s should have identical DC operating points and so should each half of a 6922, the other channel should also match. Exact measured values are going to vary a bit depending upon the valves, exact PSU voltages component, tolerances etc etc. NOTE the EL34 heaters sit at approximately -400VDC. The 6922 heaters are approximately at 0VDC I get a signal gain of approximately 940x with a single ended 1Khz sine wave 0.1Vrms input and an output of 94Vrms between the + and - output pins into a 10Mohm (multimeter) load. Audio enters the EL34s on the cathode and for 0.1Vrms 1khz input I get approximately 5.17Vrms of audio on the cathode, the EL34 amplifies this by about 9 times and gives 46.7Vrms on the anode with respect to ground. The other EL34 operates similarly but opposite phase.

^^ I had seen the cancellation story, did not hear about the "follow-up" events....that is awesome!

UK Town Cancels New Year Fireworks For Walrus Only For It To Masturbate And Leave

MOZART What are you doing, Herr Director? ORSINI-ROSENBERG Taking out what you should never have put in.

Got the east coast ping pong table reassembled.

Also it does have other uses.

That's frickin cool

Walnut rolling pin

Finally finished the last part of my side deck that will store various water things. Making the gate hard - I kinda made things up. I think maybe I did it all backwards, but oh well - there is no other entrance to this area so the gate stoppers are visible and since it’s all on a slope the had to be cut different lengths. It works and kinda matches the hog wire. At some point I would like to put something on the gate - some art of some kind, maybe need to enlist the ping-pongers Oh and you can see the concrete slopes where it meets the deck - grinding that down was super fun!

I somehow managed to copy H and C from HeadCase logo and mill it on the plate. picture in B/W

So long as I use 3 in 1 oil, I've never broken a tap in an aluminum heatsink. And I've done it hundreds of times. Just use the correct sized drill bit, and preferably a drill press for the initial hole.
