My goal for my first timed autocross with the Porsche Club was to be faster than at least one 911. I really wanted to send someone home in their sports car knowing they got beat by a practical family four-door. I felt like I could go quite a bit quicker, but mission accomplished. Only car I’m sad I wasn’t faster than was the Dodge Challenger. The rest of them I had no chance of beating if they were driven competently. This is a very fun hobby other than the long drives to and from the remote locations where they host these things. Doing another one in two weeks.

Back at the east coast ping pong table, making engineer of the year plaques for work.

There's a very cute movie, She's Having A Baby; very clever IMO and I enjoyed both Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern in it. Kate's song This Woman's Work is very wonderfully placed in that movie. EDIT: the whole soundtrack is actually quite good.

I wouldn’t trust anyone from Arkansas.

22 Years Selina Moon 2022 https://album.link/i/1601909384 Example: I saw Selina on a Tiny Desk recently. I thought the music was nice and very pretty voice. So, I checked out her 2022 release. Just a 30 minute album, but a nice set. The example is one of the highlights. I will follow to see what she does going forward.

That's awesome! Congrats and may your tires and brakes last long... Sam

That's a winner, Nate! Perfect edges and nicely browned.

I'm two episodes away to finish the first season of Tehran Some things are good, others are rather poorly resolved. Entertaining so far.

Congrats TMoney. I'm enjoying the updates on your journey.

red oak has its uses

Quarter sawn oak is growing on me.

Output transistors are MJE15032G/15033G, extra insulation is needed. Size of the heatsink is 200x62x40mm, ~50°C with 120ma bias. It could handle more heat but I need larger heatsink for GRLV. The nichicon kz cap (Ø:12mm) is too big so one has to lying down. Edit: one more pic added

If anyone is looking to get rid of any vintage portable tape players, or *cough* one of those tempermental-ass, shitty Nakamichi Dragons, ping me. Thx.

Boomers rejoice! AM radio wants in on the nostalgia boom:

Same thing kind of happened to a mate of mine. Lifelong skier, really skilled. Skiing in Austria with his adult daughter, he was descending at speed off-piste, a ski hit a rock and pitched him downslope into a tree. He was wearing a helmet, but clobbering a tree with your head at 30mph is not going to end well. Helicoptered off the hill, he ended up in the neurology ward for quite a long time. He's kind of recovered five or six years on, but still has some problems in concentrating. Which is tough for a serial entrepreneur. He was CEO of his latest company before the accident. Nothing like as bad as Michael Schumacher's skiing accident which reduced him to being a pale shadow of his former self, wheelchair bound and with difficulty in communicating. He apparently manages to watch F1 on the television and understand what he's seeing. Or Fabio Casertelli in the 1995 Tour de France, who lost control while descending the col de Portet d'Aspet at speed (usually 50mph plus), and his head hit a concrete bollard at the side of the road. Dead at the scene. Not wearing a helmet, which was not necessary on mountain stages at that time.
