Good times.... --- End quote --- Saw them in concert (again) last year at the Shindig in Baltimore. End of the show kinda bothered me. Chicks with meat hooks through the skin of their backs swinging around. Wasn't one of these deals where there were a bunch of hooks evenly distributing the weight. It was two big hooks and a fair amount of bleeding. It made me nauseous. And the fact that it made me nauseous made me feel old. It was anti-chuff at the end of being chuffed that I could still hang though a 12 hour music festival. Hanging ability proven last year, I bought VIP tickets this year which gets me access to couches and air conditioned bathrooms. ;D (chuff re-attained) |

Good god, I saw something similar at Atomic Cafe in Austin in the 90s. Except it was two dudes and they did the hooks through their chests and swung around while another one blew fire balls. I guess it was that evening's 2am entertainment. Thankfully they put Wumpscut back in the CD player before too long. I still cringe thinking about it. |

I'm sitting at a customer site twiddling my thumbs waiting for them to get their ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- together, meanwhile the customer gets charged around $280 an hour for me to sip coffee. Luckily I have BYOAC to keep me entertained. I am chuffed because I get to go on leave soon. During my leave I'm finishing up the final details on my house so it can be sold. Lately I've been working on refurbishing my home theater to be a key deal sweetener. Last weekend I prototyped a type of fabric panel which provides both acoustic transparency but also a degree of sound reflection absorption all in one AND is rear LED lit to boot. After a lot of faffing about with failed designs I have something that looks pro. Can post some pics here later. My furniture subby is coming with me, but much of the sound gear is remaining. I have to build a custom subby to fit the setup. The new one will be constructed from concrete, as a sealed unit (no porting or passive radiator). I told my neighbor about the concrete subby and he's keen to see how I tackle that. If your'e sitting their smirking Beavis like going "heh heh, heh heh concrete subby that's stoopid" I'm happy to share my progress, success, failure or otherwise on that. |

Pretty chuffed with myself, did my first flyback swap today... The Ms. Pac I got was untested monitorwise, so once I got everything fired up, the game worked perfectly, but the screen looked bad - it was wavy, with streaks and jitters all through it. I ordered a cap kit and replacement pots from Bob Roberts, but when he had his accident, I told him not to worry about it, and I ordered the cap kit from Twisted Quarter. I did the cap kit and the streak and waviness went away, but it still cut out jittery sporatically. While I was doing the cap kit, I noticed that the horizontal width coil was broken. So I placed an order with Twisty Wrist Arcade for the horizontal coil, a new flyback (because hey why not) and a cool kit he sells, that G07 Remote Pot Kit, that allow you to do all your adjustments from the front of the cab like on a lot of the newer 25" CRTs. It also replaces the B+ pot, so I decided to go for it! They came in today, so I took off the coil and pots with no issue, but the flyback was giving me issues, so I went to Fry's Electronics and bought a larger desoldering nozzle. That did the trick! Flyback came right out, I tinkered with the new one to line up the pins. I soldered in the Remote pot kit and coil, put it all back together, fired up the monitor and dialed in the B+ to 120, then adjusted the screen with the remote pots to get it to my liking. It's probably at a 90 out of 100. I need to do some degaussing, but nothing that is a dealbreaker. I just need to do some touch up painting on the front, and this baby is done! |
