It did not explode, so now a ton of sanding and some finish to make it match the bench.

Last evening, halibut with lemon rice 🐟🍋🍚

I'm dusting off my collection of Rudy Van Gelder recordings/remasters: Herbie Hancock – Empyrean Isles.

Probably not.

Sold the rolly stools from Vyper, as they were too large to roll around my mini shop and I am now building a new stool for my bench. Made to match the workbench with Ash legs, maple joints and Jatoba seat tripod bench with locking keys holding all the joints together. About to the point where I get to sit on it and see if it explodes (50/50 in my shop). Anyone else build a shop stool? I really could not find much interesting for the design as I guess they are not popular in the woodworking shop.

That is a gorgeous stool! Love that design too!

One additional pic showing one of my favorite aspects: I used TE Conn. D5200 Dynamic connectors for the AC on the voltage select/momentary switch board (Mark Johnson's ACPRSS from diyaudio, modified layout for connectors). These are rated at 600V, are 5.00/5.08mm spacing and don't take up much more room than the screw down phoenix connectors. These are very nice, and IMHO would be a really good choice for the stat stuff (Carbon, GRHV, etc.). There are 2 alignment pins on the footprint, so not a drop-in replacement (these do pull out, so you might be able to get away with that).

And Jason Aldean wonders why the controversy about his new video " Try That in a Small Town". He argues it's completely innocent and he's not violent or racist. Oops! Associations have consequences. Good job CMT. Keep it banned.

Nope, it has never been released but I've heard hints that it's just a version of the HEV70 circuit with a very bad tube front end.

Charlie Cawood (Knifeworld, soon to be Kyros)'s two solo albums, Blurring into Motion and The Divine Abstract. I will probably do a Knifeworld discog run as well.

I'll take "Impulsive Rich Idiots" for $1000, Alex..... https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-holds-rights-to-x-twitter-rebrand-elon-musk-2023-7

The good drugs was the one thing that made dental procedures worthwhile. There is the keeping your teeth thing but still, no drugs sucks. Feel better.

Mucho bass bass James Murphy bass bass, I fucking love it.

And a small planter. The planter actually goes about 10" deep.

Here are some silent films to watch until you have a solution. https://www.openculture.com/free-silent-films Also an AppleTV with Airbuds works for me.

Plugged holes (I'm well known for that ability), and cladded the sides.

I've always been an aircraft nerd since I was a kid, particularly military, particularly WWII aircraft. I had the chance this weekend to see one of the two flyable B-29s, Fifi, up at the DuPage Airport, so made it up there. There was also a B-24 (very early model, serial number 18 of ~18,000 built), as well as a Stearman biplane, a T-6 Texan, and a Beech RC45 transport aircraft. I could have bought a ride on any of them (B-29 was $1,800 for the bombardier seat), but they were all sold out. Was cool to go up there anyway, and be able to go inside the B-29.

I was "today year's old" when I learned that Teddy Pendergrass was a member of Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes 🤦‍♂️:

These are nothing special, but been shooting the 5D Classic this week after awhile. Surprisingly stress-free and little post needed.

I refinished a stock. After removing the finish, used something called timberluxe - it’s birth year linseed oil and pixie dust I guess … it’s reassuringly expensive and doesn’t last long once air gets in the bottle. Then used a few coats of wax. Ta da! My second project was quite the opposite in terms of success. The stock used a stain/filler base with crappy poly top coat - it’s almost like it had hand drawn dark grain streaks to simulate flamed walnut appearance. I am going to have to regroup and figure out how to re-attempt that one.

Back surgery might be your next level then… I don’t see what all the hubbub is about fentanyl…

Got my abscesses tooth extracted (and a bone graft put in). Fun times! I didn’t get any of the good drugs for afterwards.
