Been working on this for a looong time. CFA3 from scratch mixed smd/thru-hole design. Currently assembled with NOS Toshiba 2SC3381/2SA1349 inputs, NOS MPSW TO-92L thru-hole transistors and bcxxx for the smd. Power consumption 75W no fan. Linear PSU with 20,000uf/63V filter capacitance — custom golden reference regulators. Final dimensions are 12x9x4.5” / 22lb+ the motorized 48 step attenuator w/ remote and display was a last minute addition. definitely interested in finding out the feedback for that, but would want it built backwards for a final design, I think.

The Ooni's are great. I have one of the older ones (Before they changed the spelling )- it still cooks a good pizza. Wife does tend to over-do the toppings, but she's slowly getting better I like fishing, and it's hard to get better than fresh caught seafood. Greek style char grilled calamari is a bit of a favorite at my place. Simple and easy, but it does work better on a wood or charcoal grill than the BBQ or a fry pan.

They look delicious but for a former hotshot lawyer, it’s time for an Ooni. Even this soon to be hopefully retired…shhhh…small town lawyer, an Ooni is a necessity.

An oldie, but a goodie.

Sierra Alpha Uniform November Alpha "NATO recently installed a sauna in its headquarters. Coincidence? Maybe." https://www.politico.eu/article/finland-sauna-culture-diplomacy-brussels/ but which level? "I remember visiting the Finnish embassy and them telling us about how they had three in their two buildings, a diplomatic sauna, a general sauna, and a sauna for the higher ups. You could definitely tell they were a little bit obsessed with it."

Super sad, but Bea was in really bad shape and Dorothy knew that she didn't want her to suffer. I'm still in denial because I saw Bea when she was sick on Tuesday but it didn't remotely enter my mind it could be terminal. I've been at my brother's since Wednesday morning so I experienced this all by text and phone. 😢

That is awful! Condolences to Dorothy. Godspeed, Bea.... We lost our beloved Maddie Jo after almost 14 years. I haven't had the hard to post... HS

R.I.P. Bea. Dorothy's Golden Lab Bea. She turned 1 year old early this week then passed suddenly on Thursday. It's believed that she ate something outside that caused the issue. Poisonous mushroom may have been the culprit. Bea was the sweetest, friendliest dog. She was a gorgeous blonde haired, pink nosed ball of joy. I will miss her! Dorothy is devastated, as expected.
