our 1974 Alfa Romeo GTV 2000.
Maybe you could find an on-topic reason to post a pic. Beautiful work by Giugiaro!
Chris - the Keysight MSOX3104T sounds fantastic. A professional's tool on a professional's bench! Very, very nice.
Nezbleu - Always liked the Berlinas, though would eventually like to get a nice Super TI, the predecessor if you will. Glad your Dad was OK - these cars have great brakes - better than most back in the day.
TSmith1315 - drawing shows parts I'm buying (on topic) to go into driver's door of this car.

My brother hinted me about a VERY TAST chocolate sold in the NETTO-shops (Danish). This kind went VERY WELL with whiskey.I bought 10 bars of dark chocolate, 10 bars of dark chocolate for making drinking chocolate. This is not your regular Hershey’s sewage.
However our local NETTO is taken over by COOP (a cooperative company) and ... no chocolate.
Anyway, I bough a 10 kg pack of washing detergent and some AAA batteries.

I’m low on whiskey, how about this cognac I received recently ?

Nice Gareth!
Hi Greg,
Thank you for the kind words. Yes, it is a wonderful 'scope. Top of the line. Keysight just sent me the licenses today, so I'm really getting excited for this thing to show up.
I'll just make sure it works, then stick it in the rack mount and put it in place. I have a network jack with its name on it already!

Edit: I almost forgot about your car. Yes. Really nice!

Guess that's perfect. I've got to kinds of nice gin:I’m low on whiskey, how about this cognac I received recently ?
Journeyman Distillery Barrel Aged Bilberry Black Hearts Gin (a really odd kind)
and
Nordishe Reinhet (German)
Had to buy, talking of alcogoals, a BiB of sicilian wine today to go with my sallad.
I like the reviews that say the swishing noise of the water is quite relaxing - we have an ancient Air rower in the house that belongs to my Dad who's in his late 70's he hardly ever uses it,
The air-rowers are on the upper level of our YMCA with the recumbent bicycles. In the latish afternoon the high school girls come to work out on them, attracting a bunch of boomers like me to pedal harder.
this car.
Oh my, that is sweet and in beautiful condition.
I like the reviews that say the swishing noise of the water is quite relaxing - we have an ancient Air rower in the house that belongs to my Dad who's in his late 70's he hardly ever uses it, His old air rower is noisy, bulky and I hate the fact it blows air in your face. Until now no one has been able to persuade him to let us take it to the tip where it belongs. Its worth the money just to get the old one out of the workshop where everyone is tripping over it.
Water rower can be stored vertically on its end. I'll need to get a cover knocked up for it - NZ has very high levels of UV compared to other parts of the world. That shortens the lifetime of plastics and paints quite dramatically. Other than that it needs a water sterilisation tablet every six months - I can handle that for maintenance,
I never could quite figure out why an air rower blows on one's face. Surely it wouldn't be too great of an engineering challenge to create the more authentic experience of the wind blowing on one's back.

Fantastic! Love the GTA-style Campagnolo's on that body.
Giulia Sprints and GTV's have been just out of my reach since high school. I tried to buy a '69 in college back in the late 80's, couldn't quite get there. Forever on my short list of gotta-have's!
Cal, does the dog suspect the reason for all those walks has nothing to do with the love of fresh air ?
Yes, he's very suspicious but knows better than to question my motives.
Our '59 beetle didn't have that problem much. The battery acid had eaten a hole in the floor so that the battery sat nice and low.....not that my friends 50's VW beetle was any better, hitting a bump could set the rear seat on fire if a heavy person was sitting on the right side. The battery was under the seat.
Though sometimes it would lean over and hit the seat frame causing the sparks to fly. Ahhhh.... good times.
Very nice Alfa. Jealous of all the summer car talk, this was only our 1st week of spring weather. I usually don't take out the Corvette until after street cleaning.
Wallet squeaked open today for a used Sony BDP-S480 to back up the BDP-S370 I already have as an "audio" transport. The Samsung I tried for this purpose just never worked out, could never change firmware even after trying a stack of different CD-R burn options.
Went to Home Depot for a few things. Was shocked to see the parking lot full and a line up to get in. I guess when everybody's home any nice day becomes fix-up day.

The Miata driver asked if her '91 Miata still had dri-gas in it. Between ugly weather and semi-lockdown, we are thinking it may hibernate all through 2020. Oh, speed to the end of the street to celebrate 4th July and keep the fluids stirred, but the usual 1000mi/yr may be <100mi/yr this year. (She had a plan to sell stuff all over the region, but that plan is on hold.)
I started the 2002 Honda today and it burbled at first like the carb was dry. I may want to put that and the 1997 Honda on a schedule to run them even if there is nowhere to go.

I hear you, we've got 3 cars, 2 drivers, and my wife doesn't like to drive long distances. Plus, I think 2 of them need new batteries, and waiting in line at Costco once to buy and once for core and warranty is not going to happen until the lines get shorter. Maybe I can do a grocery pickup with the Corvette, at least the hatch is remote unlocking.

...the 2002 Honda ... the 1997 Honda
I hope you get to put some time on the Miata, it's too fun to be stabled all year.
And nice to see someone else who keeps cars with a little time behind them. My DD is from 1995.
