  1. Yesterday, after three years of regular use (from 2018 to now) I measured some voltages for check how my Megatron aged.

    It is very nice to see that the voltages are still similar to that I did as a reference once finished it. The EL34´s glass have gotten a bit darker with use but otherwise my "baby" is perfect.

    As an anecdotal detail, my preferred valve for the first stage is still E180CC.

  2. I have some books waiting for me.

    This year will be very, very long again.

    I'm reading the book about SR71. IMO one of the most beautiful planes in the world. I have been lucky enough to see it twice (and a F14A and others) on the deck of the Intrepid (NY). 51c2060b9858eaa2121321859baed8dd.jpg

    I read Anandtech's guide to the new Z590 motherboards (some of which are more than $1,100) and said a big nope to building a new box.

    https://www.anandtech.com/show/16347/the-intel-z590-overview/54

    It's crazy.

    I don't do design work, rendering ... so honestly I live very happy with my old motherboards with the third generation Z77 and the 3770K. I only need a GPU with 11g Vram to move DCS with VR fluently.

    This is the end
    Beautiful friend
    This is the end
    My only friend, the end
    Of our elaborate plans, the end
    Of everything that stands, the end
    No safety or surprise, the end
    I'll never look into your eyes again
    Can you picture what will be
    So limitless and free
    Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
    In a desperate land?

  5. I have been looking for a new GPU for a month (I´m thinking in a 2080TI or 3080). After seeing new and pre-owned prices and Nvidia's lack of  new stock I realized that I should have invested my savings in graphic cards.... 🥵

    I think I'll keep my current 1070 for a while.

    This thread has gone far too quiet. I converted the Genius to 27.5 mode for the winter so I could run as fat a tire as possible. I'm currently testing a pair of 45NRTH Wraithchild studded 27.5x3.0 tires.  Today's ride, before the impending Christmas monsoon, was a success.  Now to decide if dropping 4 bills on tires is worth it
