It's true. You really do need to reread it 2 or 3 times 😀
Demand a raise from your wife LOL
I did send a letter to the service manager, who sent a reply in the strangest handwriting I’ve ever seen, very childlike. He denied that it or anything else I reported could’ve happened there.
The car also had a crumpled beer can on the floor in back too, along with a wire bundle left to rub on the serpentine belt, all in that single visit! Needless to say I have not returned to that establishment, and trash them every chance I get, they earned that.
On another car, I could’ve had the engine rebuilt under a recall at another dealership, but chose to take care of the issue myself instead, just too much work to risk having done to an otherwise perfect car by unknown personnel.

IMHO the very best wide band for under $600, Might give AER's (=$$$$$$$$$$$) a run for its money.

This was a 26 foot Ryder box truck. I had stuffed it to what I guessed would put it at 26000 pounds, then driven it to the closest truck stop that had scales. I had put several boxes of OPT's in the back of the truck that each contained 8 five pound transformers. Upon being told I was overweight by a few pounds, I removed the necessary quantity of OPT's to be safely under and tossed them in my wife's car. There were still over 100 transformers in that truck. Most of the 10,000 or so tubes that I moved came in the Honda Element or the trailer it pulled.
There is a stretch of I-75 near the Tennessee - Kentucky border that has a long steady upgrade. The Ryder held a pretty constant 45 MPH floored on that grade. During that time I was passed by both halves of a double wide being towed up the same grade.
My poor Honda Element pulled 5 X 8 foot box trailer up that same grade 11 times with the Element and the trailer stuffed to the max. That combo would make 65 MPH on that grade floored, but the tach just sat on 5200 for two minutes. The poor exhaust valves were probably glowing red.
Yard sale find, pair of 12 gauge speaker cables, Extech sound level meter for $7.
Nothing else audio this weekend. Though I could have picked a DIY floor monitor with an unknown 12" Jensen for $20, an old defunct Sonos player for $10, a Bose two way sat / sub with stands for $40, same for a smallish Klipsch consumer HT set. There were various receivers by Yamaha, Sherwood - but no JBL L100s sitting there in someone's garage this year.
Got a couple new 10" carbide tip saw blades for $2 ea, a 28 and a 40.

Two tickets to Jefferson Starship at the Paramount Theater in December.
Played around with my 300B amp to day comparing 1974 Kenwood KL-5050 speakers to 1984 Klipsch Heresy speakers. lots of fun for cheap.
I looked up the Klipsch speakers and about croaked at the price.

All the parts for a reproduction (or five) of the Rowan McCombe "Magic Amp" from 1976. Oh, and a Chinese 60MHz function generator.
The Hereseys play loud and clear with great transient response made possible by their efficiency. When they were new they were a hot item (expensive though) and they're still nice today. They're perfect for tube amps 😉 I remember.
Yesterday I picked up the below pieces of gear.
B&W Nautilus 804
Adcom GFA 5800
Adcom GTP 350
Adcom GFA-535
No pics as yet, and it will be at least a few days before I can unbox everything. One owner, original boxes and properly taken care of

Brain on pause $50 in replacement tips for a 13 year old Hakko 936 iron. Hope it's not the wand.
A "Anykit" otoscope. Now I can see those 0603, 0402 SMD components on my computer screen! I can also see the wax in my ears. Our little dog too - ah, 90% alcohol cleans both solder rosin and ear jam. $10 shipped on ebay, looks new, came with all the bits.
A couple chainsaw "blades" for my 18" Craftsman electric. Semi Chisel chews right through a 15 incher in a minute. @ 21.50 delivered for both, I'm just too lazy to sit there with an $8 file.

Are you going to have a painting party? I'm painting my house by myself and in a week I've done exactly two rooms. (This includes stripping and refinishing some wood which isn't even done yet 😱).
The funny thing about this is that I'm legally blind but I can see if the painted line is straight. 😀 My buddy says it looks great and I'll just have to take his word for it.

When I painted my place, I did the large flat spots with a roller and got friends to do the fiddly bits like corners and wall/ceiling connections.
Next time I paint my kitchen, I'm installing glass over it to make it easier to clean.
