    In case you're all still hanging on the de vinyl comedy: The new drive belt showed up today, and the turntable's performance has improved significantly. RPM is steady and actually gets over 45 now. Plus it starts without a push. Meanwhile, Mrs. Avenger ordered (at Avenger Jr's very pragmatic...

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    Just looked it up, and found that France has banned that particular garment, probably rendering the point moot. There may be hope for them yet.

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    This raises some questions, considering some of the things we've heard about a different religious population in France. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/france-eiffel-tower-hindu-group-female-staff-removed/ One wonders if it had been the other group, if making accommodation would have been the...

    Right. Just sightseeing. We were there at the right time to see the eagle flap at the top of the hour.

    Thank you for the links. I don't have a huge amount of experience with vinyl myself. My musical journey came to that a little late so I mostly bought music on cassettes and CDs. I straightened the stylus and it seems okay, but it would still be best to replace it. I just don't trust Google and...

    Ahhh, yes.... More of the magic and lore that is vinyl. :ROFLMAO: Avenger Jr and I were discussing though, that this sounds quite good, especially for media that is sixty years old, and that vinyl wasn't replaced because the sound quality was poor. It's downfall was the convenience of newer...

    Avenger Jr. has become fascinated with the world of vinyl records. So we visited Looney Tunes and he picked out a few specific albums that really lean into the format. Now, since he's going back to campus tomorrow I had to scramble to cobble these components together so he could start to...

    Whats on tonights Menu

    Tomorrow night's, or actually tomorrow afternoon's menu is refrigerator pickles again. Hit the farm stand again for some Kirbys. Mrs. Avenger was cleaning out her workspace and had a bucket-load of binders and document sleeves for loose leaf binders. So I took her pile of recipes and tried...

    Gas prices 2019 and beyond

    Last I looked it was $4.06 in Seaford. Diesel had popped to $6.05. If these things didn't get crazy mileage it almost wouldn't pay.

    One of several projects today, but I finally got around to rejiggering the light over the basement workbench to LED. Ignore the yellow stripe across the tubes in the pic. It does not exist in reality. SuperbrightLEDs are aptly named. No ballast, direct wire, 5000K etc. As my eyes get older...

    Back yard critters

    I have had zero luck attracting hummingbirds. We probably need more honeysuckle or other fruity flowers in the neighborhood, but I put out feeders for two years and never saw a one.

    Just an outboard observation above the Arctic Circle...

    Well, here's some "good" :unsure: news for you. Other than the Brunswick corporate monopoly on the boating industry, there are no more American manufactured outboards. And most of the Mercs are sporting Yammi powerheads anyway.

    Local tribes demonstrate how native imagery and team names depicts an outdated view of natives by reenacting traditional rituals and dancing around in loincloths. I guess we should modify the team imagery to playing cards, casino chips and cigarettes to show how modern they have become. If...

    After the crankshaft failure my friend stated that had he known this might happen, he would have repowered with 'Zukes instead of rebuilding the Yarmulkes. Hindsight is 20/20, but it is interesting that even here, outside of Brunswick products it seems Yammis and Suzukis dominate in a similar...

    Holy crud, diesel was $5.959 at the Shell in Seafood. It cost me $66 to fill up a frikin' Volkswagen. 😲
