Battle Chasers Upright - Frankenpanel started!
Boz:
This GD heat (think explicative) was nuts today and is probably going further north tomorrow. This SUCKS! Little progress of note today.
I had a friend over to drop off his aging dog that I'll be watching while he is away at a family reunion. There were a couple of minutes of the front door being open in a 30 minute time span while we jockied stuff into the house including the dog. The temperature rose nearly 5 degrees inside and took about 2 hours to come back down to where it was previously.
The single-most irritating part about the heat is that it's been a "bearable" 105 - 108 for the last three weeks. (To those of you in parts of the country or planet that don't experience that kind of heat, it truly is bearable when the humidity is between 15 and 25 percent. People can function.) But now that I've taken a whole month off the drugery of work specifically to build my cabinet, global warming has forced me back inside.
Grrrr....

temps have a variance of 3-4 degrees all over Phoenix. The airport is about 20 miles south of where I am.

Update: July 15, 2006
Too tired to write much. Day was filled with mistakes and problems. My photostream at flickr has more detail with captions beneath the pics.

Phoenix huh? I was born & raised there. I'm now in cool rainy Oregon. Mucho difference. It rains here a lot, we get as many rainy days as you get sunny ones, but right now its sunny and 75 degrees.
I'm also looking into a kickin' sound system for my next cab. A neighbor has a huge set of 30 year old Marantz speakers plus an amp he's looking to sell. He wants $100 for all. Each speaker box has 1 tweeter, 2 midrange, and one 16" base. The amp is only rated at 40 watts, but he says it cranks and has no distortion. His wife confirmed the cranks part. I'm not sure if I need that much speaker in a arcade cabinet, plus I'm not sure if a $75 set of Logitec 2.1's would not give similar performance with much less power and size.

My only beef is with your theme. If I could go the rest of my life without looking at another piece of Joe Mad art, I'd die happy.

Fortunately for me you won't be sitting around my house whining about the theme of my cabinet. :cry:
