  Heat reduces viscosity: the cueing mech on my TT is slamming the arm down this evening. Might have to change to summer-grade oil.

    Damn, I remember summer and winter gearbox oil nervosa (I think eventually I settled on Royal Purple as an unhappy but adequate compromise out of laziness). Things like this reinforce my head-in-the-sand position of lubricating my digital with a few beers and pretending it's analog. OK if you're a tinkerer I guess!

    The only flaw with your post is the missing capital for the first letter of the word that starts the sentence. "Deleted".

    When noise reduction works, just hope the B.O.S.E. system works. If you want passive noise reduction, skip B.O.S.E. and go for DJ-gear. Politics? How sound are politics? More noise reduction for now. There is this "Tool" with a metal sound, I must try that...

    We have plenty of opportunity to discuss religious issues here ... tubes vs transistors, capacitors vs transformers, cables, and more. We don't need the usual world stuff too. There are numerous other sites for that.

    Always good to see people protected. Congrats. Healthcare professions will continue to employ masks on top of vaccinations for the foreseeable future. At least that's what I'm hearing. I've migrated to telehealth possibly permanently anyway so it's sort of moot for me.

    So Château Degraded represents an assemblage of vaccines. How about a french Chateau something or other to celebrate the occasion given the fact that most of them are assemblage, too?
