The Pass Pub: The High-End Off Topic Thread

[cubicincher]

Hello to all,


I am also a dumbness-aficionado....


In my state of complete brain-darkness and the worldwide Corona (covid19)-virus-phobia
I decided to explore a 'new way' of spiritual healing:


Hot - iron - solder - slingin' - therapy


I am in the nice situation that I've got a nice envelope from the USA yesterday.
It included a very nice pcb and excellently matched JFets...
Thanks Nelson Pass! Thanks Anastasia!


Enjoy your life! Every day! - no matter how worse it seems to be...
Sometimes some dumbness helps...

Dear Dirk,
You are in the Pub, and forgot the most important thing in this heavy times:
How's about beer?
You don't like beer?
The best medicine, actually cures everything!

 

[brianco]

That won't keep you busy for long...you've almost finished the board itself...PS and case?

 

[cubicincher]

Hello Gyuri,


oh yes, I love beer (you know - german beer drinkers...🙄)!
But I also enjoy a good red wine... 😀


Have a good day Gyuri! Stay save!

Hello brianco,


you are right! PCB close to be stuffed. Waiting for some capacitors...
Those brave parcel-service-workers still doing their job out there.
every day contact with hundreds of people....😱.
First I will do a soundcheck. Then comes the case-work.


Stay save brianco! In your beautiful corner near the tweed river.

I'm sorry, I don't know what this means.

Only those closely concerned are likely to understand my comment!

Hello Zen Mod,


I try to reach the next ZEN-level.


I try to avoid logical thinking and recognizing ugly things happening in this
beautiful world!
But my brain is switching back to that status of logical thinking -and then?


Perhaps a beer can help - as Gyuri suggested.


In Germany we have a saying:
Kein Bier vor vier! - means: no beer before 4pm 😀

as Generg taught me - ZM Knows Station!

Thanks, WBS! I am sure it will be a lot of fun! Perhaps the neverending grin...


Stay save WBS!

p.s.: I found a picture of the visit in the Kunde - vineyard cave on my

computer. It was 2011. 9 years gone... 🙄

 

[Cal Weldon]

Brian, I liked your comment too but I guess I should have put a winky eye in mine. I thought it was clever but no one noticed. Maybe I'm just dumb. 😉 (winky eye)

 

[Zen Mod]

no worries Big Cal

we all know that you have permanent winky

 

[Cal Weldon]

I can't be sure ZM. In an interview, Willie Nelson admitted that he had outlived his winky. Could happen to me too. I told my wife if I don't use it, I'll lose it. She rolled over and went back to sleep.

They can be so cruel sometimes.

just got Update from Pa

regular situation - I'm harassing him with e-mails and he's replying to one of zillion

so , for intrigued ones , Pa informed me (I asked about Life , Whales, closed Restaurants) :

......I stocked up on supplies in advance, and there's
no shortage of meat or wine. 🙂 .........

in short , don't worry , Mithrandir is good and intend to stay the same

The other day, my wife and I tried grocery delivery for the first time in order to stock up on bananas and broccoli. I had the delivery person drop the bags in the garage where they've sat for 3 days. We'll have perfectly ripe bananas tomorrow.

I plan to grill something to go with the broccoli. As I said before, I'm into my stash of really good wine so I don't miss out if my weak lungs succumb to the virus!

I popped the cork on a good 2015 Napa Valley Cabernet last night. yum

2015, a very nice year in N.V. My '15s have developed beautifully.

Cheers woofertester!
