That is gonna look impressive with the veneer. Very nice!

Nothin' here and in Dallas but some cold temps. Easy two day drive home Sunday and yesterday. Vicksburg seems a good mid-point. Don't think I'm gonna ever make that run in one day again unless I've got something more aerodynamic than a SuperDuty.

I suspect most of us here have had our own "oh shit" moments and are now able to drive in snowy conditions but are also wise enough to know not to unless it's necessary. And have the gear to get out of a situation.

You have no idea just how correct you are these days...

Except for the ones in Jeeps who think they are invincible...

Step away from the micrometer... :D

Found this at the mid-century modern furniture and vintage stuff emporium Tuesday: Looked up the call letters and found this explanation from wikipedia: "a radio station broadcasting an urban contemporary format. Licensed to Marshall, Texas, United States, the station serves the...

Love the isolation snow brings to any setting but this is absolutely beautiful. Enjoy!

Ooof... that does hurt.

Let me clarify - I only stream files from my computer that I have purchased in hi-res form or ripped/recorded from music I've previously purchased. I basically just have a digital jukebox. I won't pay for streaming services; as one artist to another, I won't support anything that won't pay...

Spent last Friday at another party at Stratdoc's house listening to his system with the $400-ish iFI streamer feeding his all-Benchmark system and can't say I missed anything compared to Louis' $2500-ish ModWright/Oppo tube streamer. I'll probably purchase the Pro-Ject streamer to get rid of the...

Believe me, I'd love to have a pair of those sometime.

Switching topics ever so slightly, got to hold some 1/64'" thick plywood at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love Field in the big D today. They have a model shop that builds all the display models and that seems to be the wood of choice for wings and fuselages. What I held looked like...

Merry Christmas from Dallas, everyone! Enjoying a few days with the kids and - to Lindsay's consternation - delivered the Exposure Integrated to Jeff for his system. Got stuff to buy, I tell ya...

The high school I attended bought four of the Subaru versions in 1972 for the grounds crew. They became the object of several senior pranks involving relocations by lifting and moving before they got wise and locked them in the barn at the end of the day. Four football players could pretty much...

I noticed similar cracks in the veneer on my LSA monitors years ago, but the cracking is confined to the sides which are curved, which makes some sense. Like yours, you really have to be looking for them. The good news is they've remained static for a number of years so I'm in the "let sleeping...

Ya gotta be southern...

Many thanks! My membership there got wiped and they won't let me re-register.

I've got the top off. The gear on the side rotates as it should and I can rescue a tape by using that, just doesn't seem to be getting electrical signal to make it work. Oh well, all else fails, I can sit it on the desk at work and let it look pretty. Can't even locate an operations manual, let...

None that I can see. The lifters don't bring the tape up to the drum.
