a little bit of everything
First i made the first step towards being an audio-loser-phile. I ordered my first tube based piece of audio hardware. a Bottle head Foreplay III preamp. I really should have bought a tube amp first, but my Tannoy's are not really super efficiend (93db) so i would need at least 8 watts of power for them... and 8 watts of tube power is expensive. solid state however is cheap. very cheap infact. I picked up the old Adcom GFA-555 for trade. it used to be in service where i used to work. i also got the preamp with it. the preamp had a bad channel. but the amp (go for about $300 on ebay) was good. so its a deal and a half.
besides that ive been a lefty needle bearing service fool. ive been doing 3-4 tech clinics the past week showing how to do the needle bearing service. i am so well practiced in fact; i fixed a fork today when i could have replaced it. yes i know amazing. not only that but i did the service and rebuild in less then a half hour!
lets see what else ooooh i traded 105,000 marriott points in on a new lense for my rebel. 28mm-200mm so i got me some wicked zoom now. well more then before by about 3 x.
oh my macbook's flickering backlight has psuedo fixed itself.... its not a EFI firmware fix either because the hard drive i put in here i didnt format correctly so it cant fix the firmware (crazy that partitions make a difference for this i know)
on a truck note im at 38.200 miles since last january 15th. not bad for less then a year of driving. i really want to get to 40,000 miles by january. which would be 10,000 in diesel alone. thanks 8 mpg!
thats all for now.
