    Discipline

    Discipline
    by King Crimson (1981)

    https://album.link/i/1090440045

    Example:

    A formative album in my late teen years. I didn't find this album until after Yes,  So probably about 1986. It has been a while since I listened to it, I tend to gravitate towards "In The Court Of The Crimson King" wth it being more proggy. But I knew every track in this listen through to a high level of detail and of course enjoyment. I will not let it slip too far away...

    No bike pix, b/c I was too exhausted and had to take a nap after so much riding, but my Porsche and Diablo-aficionados may can appreciate a couple numbers up there. 

    I know that route!! Well done.

    Beethoven for Three: Symphony No. 4 and Op. 97 "Archduke"

    Beethoven for Three: Symphony No. 4 and Op. 97 "Archduke"
    by Yo-Yo Ma (2024)

    Example:

    I didn't even know these existed until today - this was released last weekish, and two others were released in 2022. Only 4 symphony's so far. I hope that they can complete the flight.  I thought they might have recorded in the space pictured. - But no - in an equally cool building - the EMPAC (Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center).

    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.

    Eye In The Sky

    Eye In The Sky
    by The Alan Parsons Project (1982)

    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.

    Example:

    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.
