talking of old Tektronix ‘scopes, I got this out of the e-waste. I haven’t been brave enough to touch it yet.

I'll thanks you for saving it, and anything else you save from oblivion!

MRI on my left knee ($225 co-pay).

Buggered it up back in March. I have no idea how but that is when it started aching.

I had a steroid shot in April along with an X-Ray.

No real improvement so I went back for the MRI. Hopefully it wills how something that can be easily corrected.

Indoor dining is back! Had a wonderful meal at a wedding reception last week with family & friends. We were told to bring our vaccination cards, but no one ever checked them... Oh well.

 

[Bigun]

got some chocolate!

Ordered on-line from their HQ in the GTA and buying 10 bars gets you a discount.

You saw my saw earlier, well now I need an axe to split the wood.

Got some M3 taps for my pre-amp project too.

My son bought a chicken and some other assorted meats for the smoker. We did the chicken tonight. Very moist and quite good.

 

[Bigun]

that’s a fine looking chicken!

Materials shortage: cement and electronics a ‘growing concern’ | Construction News

So given that I'm being given the voice mail treatment.. it's not going to be the Koi pond build. And given that everything electronic is also starting to dwindle (Toroidy state delays due to copper shortages).. my amp build is also slow..

However I will purchase a few things like valve bases, wire and caps At least I can get something built.. but not fully powered..

Someone has some free time on their hands. Really, 1,000 pieces? I know they area common number, but ...

 

[mondogenerator]

Stocking up Chris
Hell they were like 2c each

It's the 500 AZ431 that I might struggle to use.

 

[anatech]

Well, why not then?? Should have gone in with someone, but I think that I would have bought 1,000 myself at that price.

 

[anatech]

I just bought a really nice oscilloscope for a friend. Didn't want him to miss a great deal. Tektronix TAS475 I can't repeat the price though.
