Pics , we need pics !
Oh settle down.😉
Yes, while the black seal and I kept each other company, I fell liked I paced myself more as a long distance marathon than a 100yd dash this time - and a few months of training after returning from Bermuda in June may have helped![]()
Yes, all kidding aside, I thought you did rather well under the circumstances.

We made it to my place around 4:00 or so. After unloading my stuff and TerryO's and taking a short break from the road, Terry and John headed home. Nice day for travel. Hope the remainder of their trip is/was at least as smooth as the first part.
Thanks so much to Dave, Ruth, and Chris for accommodating everyone again. It's always a good time to see old acquaintances. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Food was great, and the weather was perfect.
Until we meet again . . .

I am now also safe at home. Thanks so much to everyone that made my weekend enjoyable. I had good time with my last bit of Saturday night out in the Jimmy Buffet zone with you know who. I'm sure glad I planned for a day off tomorrow.
Sure was nice to see Dave so chipper after hearing/reading all the horror stories of his ordeal (and Ruth's and Chris'.)
Sorry Scotty. I told my wife the story and she asked why I didn't give it to you. I don't listen to her very well though. I would really enjoy working up an amp with you if you decide to go for it.
Best to everyone,
John

I really enjoyed listening to John's 6bg4 amp with the 01a pre amp up on the back deck. It seemed to be made as a perfect match to my Frugalhorns. I tried to get John to sell it to me but no way. He did say he would help me build an amp though. So that is a good thing.

Ruth will have some, but may take a day or two yet to download - she's got a pretty full dance card

Hey it was great to meet all of you on Saturday and thanks so much to our hosts and all who helped out for the excellent hospitality.

Indeed - although the sped up introduction didn't quite do justice to the semi-paved goat trail that is the Goldstream Park access road. I particularly like the caveat - "do not judge any speakers from the audio here" - taken with smartphone, I assume.
You guys made me watch the video. It was quite good.
I have imagined a time lapse of driving up the mountain a number of times, i was surprised at how flat the video made coming up the backside looked. It is quite steep.
I still want to see the pictures 🙂

On my way up I hoped a car would come the opposite direction, just to show how tight it was. I did tail a Datsun for a couple minutes though. And you're right, it just doesn't do it justice how gnarly and steep it is. Would never get built now a days.You guys made me watch the video. It was quite good.

I don't really have any other pictures than what's in the video. I was actually dissapointed I didn't get more but I was to distracted and having fun. A good thing I suppose 🙂

It amazes me how many people use YouTube for sound demos. I guess with the lack of brick and mortar stores available for demos it is what people gravitate towards. It was just the mic on my camera. Marginally better than a smart phone.
Ryan - even if taken with a really decent mike, when played back through a lap-top, or even modest desk top computer speakers, there's usually a link far weaker than the system being demo'd.
Unless they're some of our own build, of course. 😉

That was one of our regular training rides (road bike) back in the day. Then it was up and over Munns road.
