A can of r-134a to recharge the A/C system?

I had Hair on cassette tape when I was 10 years old (1970). Had my parents listened to it, I would not have had it for very long. I also saw Mars through my little 3" reflector telescope that year. I was much more impressed by Saturn.

Nice. Looks perfect for outdoor seating for a SWAG-West 😉

OK thanks. What did that set you back ($) if you don't mind me asking?

What all was done on your H/K 430s to restore them? I have two H/K 430s. One, I use on a regular basis with my Khorns for causal listening or tuning in to FM radio. I don't think it sounds quite as good as it did when I got it 15 years ago, and it was not restored then.

In 1980, as a part of an engineering student conference, I toured the Shiva fusion reactor facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. I think they were at about 1% of net energy gain then. I would have thought then, that 40 years later we would have achieved sustained net energy gain, and maybe even commercial fusion power generation.

Mars is very bright tonight, brighter than Jupiter. The current magnitude of Mars is -2.62 (JPL). The current magnitude of Jupiter is -2.28 (JPL).

Not THAT adventurous!

I don't have a pool heater. I figure, when the weather is right to swim, it's time to swim. When it's not, it's not. It's also one less thing I need to maintain LOL.

The water was quite refreshing.

97F in my back yard, pool temp is 78F. A little cooler water than I prefer, but I think I will take one last dip for the season today.

Assembled our new assault bike today. I think I will leave it right there.

Hope you get power back soon, but it must be a good feeling when your generator kicks in.

One of my favorite Lucinda Williams songs. Good luck to the good folks in Lake Charles tonight.

In 2011, I attended a meeting of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, with Zubrin as guest the speaker. After the program I bought his book. He ask what my children's names were, and below is how he signed the book. He has a very compelling plan for going to and colonizing Mars.

Probably just a small shift in frequency inside the spacecraft. You'll get used to it and never notice.

One cannot have too many clamps. Nice looking cabinet. The small imperfection in the grill cloth adds to the vintage look.

Most Americans eat too often, and eat to many processed foods containing sugars, refined grains and seed oils. Tastes good, easy to prepare, makes the big food companies very profitable, and makes us fat. Even the "low fat" foods make us fat because the fat was replaced with sugar or HFCS to make it taste better. We are clearly a fatter society than what we were just 30 years ago.

If it can discipline misbehaving neurons, sign me up.

I wonder if it will work if I hold my my tongue to a 9V battery? But seriously, this is very interesting.

Yep, a lot of us are getting old, and it slips up fast on us. The LP on the right in my post above, I've had for 40 years, and I remember well the first time I played it.

I know we played Eruption at the SWAG. Eddie was incredible. I'm playing VH LPs tonight.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
