I definitely am a close relative to the Piltdown man ....
Will pick up my six bottles of beer liquor store, all brewed near my childhood place.
I would leave the beer until the pcb is populated !
Don't do what I did after a few and put ic socket on wrong side of pcb.
A TSDZ2 middrive bicycle motor to climb those pesky Norwegian mountains on the daily commute. Turns out experience from DIYaudio can be used for other things than amplifiers.
Notice the custom oak power plug with speaker connections for 36V DC at 18A. The battery connector was too exotic to be found in a store.

Factory-refurb Brother QL-700 label printer to match the one down at the shop, so I no longer have to remember to schlep it back & forth, which I constantly forget to do, resulting in the label printer being at the opposite location from the one where it's needed, like every single time.
His and hers dental surgery, just in time for the holidays. Will be enjoying a different diet for the next several days, something a bit softer...
Managed to stop by the electronic surplus store on the way and grab a couple silver mica capacitors for a project here however.
I like that powered bike!

I paid the eye clinic for my my cataract treatment - still better than 20/20 now. That'll make putting my amp camp amp together easier - If the chassis every gets out of the Heathrow Gattwick area. Parcel tracking seems to have stopped, I wonder what could have stopped that. Time to stop droning on....
An original one ??
Worth a fortune !!!!

Sadly no...I don't have the £££
It's a S1 model standard. I was considering 'circuit bending' it haha. More specifically shifting it down an couple of octaves.
Had I one my research I'd have realised it's less likely I can do much in the way of modification to this model.
Nevertheless hours of fun!
A large tube of PREPARATION H on special. I do not suffer from Hemorrhoids but the deal was too good to pass up.

I binge-ordered hex screws on Aliexpress that I may or my not need in the next decade. But you are worse.
Mixed NOS ICs from Unicorn Electronics:
CA3140, CA3080, CA3046, uA748, LM311, MPF102.

If Amazon on-line ordering counts, the two CD re-master of Eva Cassidy “Nightbird” - full live session of January 1996 performance at Washington DC Blues Alley. Not a rabid completist of any artist’s work, but a long time fan of this one, and upon reading the detailed notes I couldn’t pass it up. Decided against the DVD, though - can’t remember the last time I even fired the BD player up. Wait a minute, it was either the Loreena McKennit Nights at Alhambra, or David Gilmour Live at London Royal Festival Hall - both treasures for the concert footage and extras, but I digress.
If recent deliveries from the big A are any indication, this might well be here in time for my birthday next week (Thursday) .

Some great music there.^
We purchased his and hers car batteries, as both were rapidly failing.

I had trouble with my new car not defrosting the windscreen.
Apparently the car has smart power management and if the battery is low it stops high power things being turned on.
After 3 trips to the garage they finally decided it was the battery and changed it.
Another symptom was auto-start/stop had stopped working. Again because battery was low.
For my sister: four packs of clothesline, cotton/poly.
For her brother: a tapered awl for my corset works.

ASUS Sound Card Essence STX II
Hopefully I won't blow the input to this one up. I tried a protection network of a 220R resistor and a 2.4V Zener network on the cheap sound card and could not blow it up with 40W output of a class AB2 6L6 amp into a 8R load.
It will be interesting to see if the protection network adds to distortion.
Man, I hate when I blow up a sound card.

As in wasp waist corset?
Ooo those things have to be uncomfortable, but really make a female figure hour-glass shaped.

A T-nut and fender washer to fix the well worn hockey helmet and cage my 6-year old uses for ice skating.
Ah T-nuts, how you solve problems.
Now to find some of those skateez things for my 2-year old to learn to skate with...

Actually it was last week, a pair of Paderno classic non-stick frying pans on sale at Canadian Tire. After the textured Ozeris slowly lost their non-stick quality, they became a lot less easy to use and a nightmare to clean. These are a delight to use and take little more than a quick wipe with soapy cloth and rinse. I know that well seasoned cast-iron would be ideal, but with a glass top range, I’d be worried.
Have used gas cook-tops at both my sister’s and daughters and would love to switch, but when we asked about that a couple of years ago, the gas-fitter advised that with 5 connections on the existing line, we’re at the limit on our meter.
