New platter! .. and some A/B with the SA-CD player back in the rack.

Apparently the current HC post editor, Chrome, MacOS and me are not going to get along. If you don't understand this, consider yourself lucky. Protests in Israel.

Also Done, go Mikey!

About two weeks ago I finished up a job (I'm now on a new job). The homeowner Chris always had a nice plaid shirt on. We got to talking about plaid collections. Although mine was much bigger, he had all Pendleton wool plaid shirts. Very nice plaid shirts, for those not in the know. Today my boss met with Chris and his wife. Pretty much a final meeting. Chris asked him to give me a box. This was the box... Pendleton has many styles. My favorite being the "Board" edition. It's a casual style, not too western looking. And made to be worn untucked. A beautiful Board edition! These are in the $150 neighborhood. I love my job!

So boujee.

I lollered.

i have a candidate for my next coffee sale. it’s a rwandan that i’m getting blueberry out of. it’s not the immediate buy from me the last one was but i’m hopeful for how the week after roasting will turn out

Needs more bacon!

I am moving Kerry's mini GRHV\GRLV GB discussion to its dedicated thread here. I also included JoaMat's mini T2 here to see if we have enough interest for a GB. The table will be updated periodically as more people participate. Apologize if I missed someone or something - just let me know so I can correct the data. I put down one set for those that have not decided on the number of sets they want. The plan is to have assembled GRHVxxx boards, rest of boards will be PCB only. See discussions on the PS in this thread. mini T2 build discussion in this thread. Construction notes: R3 and R2 determine the regulated voltage for GRLV. The formula is Vout = (R2 + R3)/R3 * Vref. Vref is the reference voltage of U4 (LT1021). R7, R8, R9, R10 determine the regulated voltage for GRHV. The formula is Vout = ((R8 +R9 + R10)/R7 + 1) * Vref. Vref is the reference voltage of IC1 (LT1021). You want to keep R8, R9 R10 values close so they have even voltage drop across each of them. On the PSU Main board, R22 (100K) and C17 (470uf) set up the delay time for HV. The 100k/470uf combination provides a roughly 45 seconds delay. Increase R22 or C17 to increase the delay time. C17 needs to be rated 5VDC or higher. Board dimensions: mini T2: 160mm x 100mm GRHVxxx: 41mm x 31mm GR78xx/GR79xx: 30mm x 20mm Main board (PSU): 140mm x 90mm See BOM for boards at the bottom. Blank in the GRHVxxx-bare column indicates that the participant has not responded on this thread to indicate the preference for bare or partially-assembled boards and is deemed to opt for partially-assembled board by default as previously communicated.

Wow. A speed icon passes. RIP Mr Breedlove.

Toasted Hot Cross Bun

I am fancy as fuck. Just watch that Wenge burn.

Who doesn’t love the smell of burning exotics in the morning?

well its much better built than the viva piece of crap.

Fleishman is in Trouble I finished episode 3 yesterday. Not bad. The sad part is that it reflects a world that truly exists everywhere. Waiting for it to be surprising at some point.

Hot Cross Bun

How do I master these techniques?

Sexy! If you really want to learn about vinyl spinners though, I should introduce you to the guy that basically designed the Colossus. Oh wait.... Nevermind. 😋

Is that British food or prison food? Did you make Joanne mad?

Ira Einhorn, is that you?

And in local news ... The De Young Museum in SF is having an exhibition "Ansel Adams in Our Time" https://www.famsf.org/exhibitions/ansel-adams-in-our-time and there is a Zoom docent lecture, on Monday, thanks to the CM/Marin County Library "This online program will be presented by Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco docent Jim Kohn, and is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Corte Madera Library." https://marinlibrary.bibliocommons.com/events/63ed92c93edbd4ffdd6af3c3 I have signed up for the Zoom lecture, (Zoom compression artifacts notwithstanding) as it should be an interesting introduction to the exhibition. Joanne signed up for De Young membership last year, so may be able to get discounted tickets!* EDIT: *Free for us (Joanne +1), discount for "guests" on same visit.

Noticed the pilot is on YT if anyone is interested. It was a lot of fun.

Yes, you can substitute something else in for the OPA134UA. I did a quick search and found OPA1655DR which is in stock. You'll need to test it to make sure it functions properly. Good luck and post back your findings. PS I'm running on very little sleep, so double check the operating parameters of the OPA1655 against OPA134.

Godspeed, Mr. Breedlove. One of the U.S.’s finest speed centric soul searchers.
