DIY progress report

[Rodeodave]

The A75 and the A40 are still there, under MISC. PROJECT GALLERY.
But it looks like the other Aleph projects, like the Mini, are gone...

You mean Mini-Me-AL used to be there ?

Time for an external Aleph fetishism home page, maybe ?
Like that French bloke with the Mark Lovinsome one, likely have to shorten the domain to NelsPa.com or something similar

Ja, just google for Mini Aleph. This weird Google-syndicate still has got the pages cached.

Example:

Hope it works.

DIY Progress has been slow today, being surrounded by forest
fires. I have three HEPA air filters running so we can breathe.
(cough, cough)

Here's a picture of the sun.

Scary!
Take care of you Mr Pass.

Ughh...Nasty. Hope that it will be put off soon, and that there's no wind...

Take care,

Well, according to the news, there are only like 600 other forest fires in Cali right now, so there should be plenty of resources to put out the fires around the #1 lab

You know the feeling when you think to yourself : Hey man, i've got an entire ocean to put out a fire in front of my lawn, a few seconds before the place floods and you end up drowning ?

The big guy undoubtedly always wanted to play a leading role in one of them Apocalyptic SciFi cult status flings, the Kurgan said: better to Burn up than to Fade away.
(i just love making fires in the garden to pee-off my neighbor with his 10 horse rent-a-stable that stack manure on my driveway every day, drives his poo-ers and him wild)

Jeeze... what time of day was that snap-shot taken? That much smoke can't be good for your lungs! Please take care.

Up here in Oregon, I just read the news and think, "Wow, more fires down south." To see that pic really brings the message home.

 

[Nelson Pass]

The smoke is worse today, and they're predicting dry lightning
strikes for Saturday.

 

[Cloth Ears]

Get one of them big planes to do a flyby (flybuy...) and dump a load on your front doorstep. Won't stop the smoke, but will stop the crackly bits getting too close...

Here in Silicon Valley the air is smokey as well. The sun glows redish orange at sunset. My eyes are watering. We have 1000 fires here in Northern California.

It is similar in Marin, bluish overcast during the day, and orange glow in afternoon. Last week I drove all the way to Seattle, and back and I passed through Shasta area in the North. It was brutal 110 F heat, no wonder that fires are happening. Here is the shot of Mt. Shasta but without fires.

 

[AR2]

That is where majority of fires are. I hope that weather will cooperate in next few weeks in Nelson's area, hopefully without dry winds. Stay safe, keep us posted.
All best

Input vol pot

I assume this is where we use the "Lightspeed" vol control to replace P100, 200.
A small "noise" cap across D1?

And , of course, many thanks to Nelson for making another "little gem" available to us all.
