I'm sorry but driving from Grass Valley to Sacramento should not require going all the way around the opposite side of Lake Tahoe!! Perfect storm of highway closure fuckery today.
At least the lake looks pretty

I accidentally bought a dilemma at the surplus place. Saw this cool meter that I thought was just a broken D'arsonval movement type where the needle broke off in handling. Well I was half right, its movement is broken but it's actually a mirror galvanometer!!

Strange thing to find at the thrift store: the power supply for a Wheatstone/Audioarts broadcast console! This would work with basically any analog console I've worked with if you make the correct cable. (Connector is an AMP CPC series.)
Voltages are +/-18v, +12, +48, clean and linear regulated.

Hello, it's me, I'm clearly not in a city awash in weird ancient and modern curses, why would you ever think that?

Oops, the crappy factory tires are done. I'm not even mad, look at where they've taken me.

What are these devices on top of the Asian Art Museum and San Francisco Main Library? My theories are:
A) Very Expensive (this one is very likely correct either way)
B) TV cameras with very high end large box lenses, like the $500K stuff
C) Digital projection or laser fx lighting

Update: what ultimately pissed it off was that someone worthy of a #CarTalk DOPE SLAP hung an LED troffer light from a chain that interfered with the movement of the switchless combiner's little magic velocity factor modulating control rods 🤦♀️

Stupid thing I have to fix now: the GatesAir ULXTE-90 took a stinky poo yesterday. Now one side of it is off and won't stay on, the other side claims to be putting out 31500 watts, the metering claims it's still at full power, and an RF power meter on a sample port says [incorrect buzzer]
