Tim Carpenter’s To Photograph is to Learn How to Die

A GT4 is the most balanced car I've ever ridden around a track. Amazingly forgiving and doesn't beat one up along the process. What a super experience you had...congrats!!! HS

I had fun tracking these two back-to-back at Exotics Racing in Las Vegas. Expensive to lap their cars, but where else are you going to get to drive them on track at pace? I can see why KG bought the C8 w/ z51. It is a riot to drive and the v8 sounds amazing. My lap times were quite a bit faster in the GT4 despite the horsepower advantage of the C8. Porsche cars are just so easy to get in and get up to speed and the GT4 is no exception. They make you feel like a better driver than you really are. The bigger, heavier 'vette felt like it might bite if you didn't keep a handle on it. I can't even imagine how quick the z06 version must be. I somehow was fastest of the day and 12th fastest of the month, which I am very happy about. I think it is because I know from auto-crossing how to find the limit of what the tires will do and use that to carry a more speed in the medium and slow corners than the other drivers in higher horsepower cars. I also am used to driving a pretty quick car so the speed doesn't scare me the same way it would someone who isn't used to what a modern sports car can do. My lines and brake points sucked, but the instructors riding along gave great advice. I've got to be a lot smoother on the big track than I am on the autocross given the speeds involved. Unsettling the car at 60mph vs 100mph feels pretty different! Rolling on to the pedals really helped vs just smashing the brake and letting the ABS figure it out. In case you wondered how they feel confident letting people off the street walk in and drive 700hp cars with a minimal safety briefing, each car had the brake pedal wired so that the instructor had their own brake pedal in the right side seat so they can save you from yourself.

so after some fiddling around , now my CFA3 working perfectly.I replaced all my old stock BC546/556 to newer parts with roughly matching,offset still 40mV w/o Servo but no big difference switching back to 300ohm maybe my problem comes from some crooked old BC parts...? I dunno but fixed anyway lol

Just replace both 1 ohm resistors and the one bad 15030. Everything else should be fine. Measure resistance across the 15031 and 15030 to find a shorted one. I've only had a bad 15031. Measure resistance across both resistors may be 1.5 ohms instead of 2 ohms. Measure these in circuit with power off.

Dresser looks great!

Would prefer it in Walnut, but the shitty maple will have to do. Also tried, and fucked up some dog bone (bow ties) for the rainbow poplar shoe display go the closet.

An Evening with Belafonte/Makeba in the morning

We expect our icons to go on forever, and are shocked when they grow old and shuffle off. RIP Tina. On another RIP, Professor Vicky Neale at Oxford and a specialist in number theory, a broadcaster with Radio 4's More or Less, has died aged 39 from a rare form of cancer (and fuck cancer royally) https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/neale/

RIP to the Acid Queen Tina Turner at 83.
