Summer has Broken!

Relief. Summer seems to be on the way out which means perfect weather here in Duluth Georgia.

Gracie the cat being friendly on her "Fun boards". I attached a number of pine boards (fun boards) on the walls in the porch (cat room) afew years ago. She is starting to use them more. I would have thought that a cat would love them. They are up high, great visibility, exclusive use for cats... but the cat makes the final decision.

My 2017 Chevy Service Truck just turned over 30k Miles. So I drive it less than 5k a year and most of those miles are on trips, most to the farm in NY and back.

Here is a pic of me showing me with a portion of my shop. (It doesn't show my electronics bench or the racks and racks of stuff.) The bench is clean and that was the reason for the pic. It's a very rare situation.

I bought a NEW piece of McIntosh audio gear to complement the vintage Mac components. The McIntosh MB25 is a Bluetooth transceiver that allows modern integrations with the vintage gear. One of the coolest bits is that there is an external RF connector for an external antenna. But the obvious use is to steam audio to the Hi-Fi from my phone.

I had to tear apart the 50 plus year old frypan. The thing became intermittent and was showing a large hysteresis from on-temp to off-temp. I wasn't sure If I could fix it, but I did. Needless to say, the skillet was very well made indeed.
