Back on the farm in Summer

I trailered a towable man lift (bucket lift) from Georgia to New York. The thing that made it eventful is that I had to drive my truck. My 2017 Chevy 3500 HD service truck (with only 31k miles) is not my Tesla. I have grown very accustomed to the Tesla self-driving, navigation and general hi-tech luxury.

With this setup you hardly need a sub-woofer since the main speakers are good down to 46 Hz. But, I am looking for a suitable single-channel DC-coupled vintage amp to run the sub-woofer. I may have to resort to vinyl records to get the low frequency input. Good thing the house is brick. It doesn't shake much. You may ask where I am taking pictures of Korean stores. I am in Duluth (of course). These stores are within walking distance of my house. Great food. I had an awesome...

I flew up to NY and drove back down to Duluth with a rented truck filled with stuff. In the last two days I have been in Georgia, Michigan (flight layover), NY, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina It takes about 14 hours to drive the route. Today is unloading day.
