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
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 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

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
I particularly like the caveat - "do not judge any speakers from the audio here" - taken with smartphone, I assume.
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.

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