Difficult to operate a telescope from a bag. Gloves need to be the sort that let me feel the focuser.

...did I do it right?????
Saw a gentleman tip over on his electric bicycle today. Came to a stop at a light and didn't put his feet down for some mystery reason, tipped right over. Got up yelling and cursing, I laughed.
These e-bikes seem fun, but I see lots of people that view it as exercise rather than an electric moped.

No. Woody Allen, Sleeper, Orgasmatron, but you knew that, correct?
Maybe you're too young. I'm old and only certain people recognize the references I make.

Modern phonograph cartridges don't have replaceable styli for the most part- if you have a really high-end cartridge, you can get the stylus replaced, but it's expensive
The newer versions of my Sumiko Blue Point cartridge sell for ~$400

I was the chief technician for Superphon which built high-fidelity amps and preamps in Eugene
One day, David Ogden Stiers walked in and was checking out our little production facility with our sales manager- he was going on about how great his McIntosh amp sounded when to the salesman's horror I said "that's because 2nd-order harmonic distortion is euphonic". He did not not buy one of our amps
A couple of years later I was working as a repair technician in a stereo shop that sold and serviced McIntosh and in walks David Ogden Stiers with his broken amp for warranty repair- I don't remember what was wrong with it, it was something simple like a crappy solder joint on a ground, which is common on McIntosh gear
A couple of months later Mason Williams walked in with a broken Walkman, which I fixed for $25

Ya know why folks have pets? Love puts us in compassion mode and a compassionate heart is a joyful heart. Works for kids too and our pets are like our children to us. Empathy is the source of compassion, we feel their emotional state, since we share the same kinds of feelings ourselves.It's Cheech & Bob time!!!!

I've had a LOT of pets in my adult life, I guess because I was deprived of them as a child.
You see, my father grew up on a farm in Ireland & for a farmer there at that time, if an animal wasn't useful & earned it keep, it would no longer exist. (wasn't worth the potato it was fed they would say)
Into the sack & over the rail of the bridge,
Really
So no pets.
Anyway, I've had a few pets that stood out, and my all time favorite was a Quaker Parrot named Francis.

This it she (the bird) & also her, (my wife (I painted that high as fuck, does it show?
Francis would sit on her shoulder for hours, while she worked/cooked/cleaned & ate.

And 3rd & 4th are my chicken, Emelia & one of my 3 cats who is the nicest cat I ever met, Cheech.
Someday ( now? ) I'll write about how she (Cheece) got into my grow and ate some bud & went back upstairs to the kitchen and passed out on the floor. Like coma passed out (tongue was hanging out)
It came close to dying I think
I was going to take it to a vet, but I figured if it died and they did an autopsy I'd be fucked seeing as it being stuffed with weed, so no vet for her
Anyway, she survived (I don't think she's going to eat anymorre herb though

And 4th, Amy the chicken.
She likes coming into the house and playing with the menagerie

That's where I was going. I should have said cartridge. So the price is not too far off. In the 70's $250+ for high end.
Counting for inflation and technology that sounds about right. Hey is that a pun??
