    So after many weeks of diagnostics and several trips to several part stores, my truck is finally producing an acceptable amount of voltage. It settled out after this photo and running the truck for about 35 minutes to about 14.2 volts. I am happy with that.

    It started with me hooking up the fifth wheel, about to make a short trip and noticed that I was no longer producing electricity. I proceeded to check things out and then replaced the alternator. This of course did not fix the issue. As it turns out, all the voltage regulation is run through the computer. I tried to buy a new one of those which would have cost me $500 but nobody had them or would sell me one.

    So I finally decided to go completely DYI and externalize the voltage regulator to its own device. I got that all hooked up and I was getting too many pixies with it, around 15.7 volts. I didn't want to just boil my batteries to nothing. So after running a separate power lead and doing some additional rewiring, none of which I am very proud of and will not take a photo of, I got it all back together and working "properly”. I can at least move on to other projects now.

    Example:

    I was going to post Mammagamma or Old and Wise. But the title track is just so good. Like most of Alan's albums, they are just so good to listen to. 

    And for something different.

    If you like a lot of looping of natural sounds. Tosi is the ticket. I am not sure how it got into my queue, but it really gave me an Art of Noise vibe - and that is a very good thing.

  3. ^^ Thanks... Although it got me thinking of a music survey. 🤓

    My standards for this piece have been:

    • Berliner Philharmoniker / Herbert von Karajan
    • Boston Symphony / Munch
    • The London Symphony Orchestra / Josef Krips
    • Chicago Symphony / Sir Georg Solti
    • Orchestra Of St. Luke's / Michael Tilson Thomas

    Pretty much the same list for the 7th Symphony as well (probably my fav just ahead of the 3rd). But that could change.

    I have not listened to the Szell.. yet. I think that the internet catalog is too big for me to do a complete survey of the Eroica, But maybe a review of top recordings in context to the Szell. I will ponder. 

    meanwhile:
