I know, I can sense the envy radiating from the internet. I lead a very glamorous life don't I?

When I saw the photos at first, I thought they were vacuum tubes used in old radios or nowadays high end audio gear. The reason I imagined that is because my dad is like a mad scientist in his workshop building all kinds of gear as a hobby, but also does a side gig restoring antique radios, electronics and external cabinetry and all. Those old looking boxes you showed look just like many of the tubes my dad has. Some of them are extremely valuable because they aren't made anymore. Well actually I had learned Russia of all places are making vacuum tubes for some high end audio companies. I think I remembered seeing them used in brands like McIntosh. Anyway, he's got piles and piles of tubes and boxes that look just like the Sylvania ones you have. Sometimes you can get lucky and find people that have no clue what value tubes have and sell them off cheaply at swap meets or garage sales. My dad occasionally swoops in and finds gold mines. Lol. He now has customers all around the world requesting work to be done on their gear. Not a bad gig for an old man long retired and making a decent amount of bank which is essentially a hobby. He's not a salesman by any stretch and I keep telling him he needs to charge a lot more money than he currently does. He just brushes me off though and said he's okay with what he asks from people. It's no wonder he has a large clientele. |

I picked up a Yamaha branded one from CostCo a couple of years ago. I dont use it a ton but it's worked okay for me. Gas powered but I kinda like it over the old electric Husky one that I had. I always have gas on-hand for lawn equipment and snow blower so it's not a big deal if I run out of gas.

I wish, I really enjoyed this single barrel rye! It would become my daily drinker pretty quick.
I have contemplated making a smaller bar out of it by cutting a door in the side, but I will likely leave it as is and use it as a table in the upcoming whiskey room.

I will be doing a build thread for it probably. I ran out of shelf space and got the green light to take some room and build full wall shelving units and then have some nice leather chairs and really just try to complete the feel of a whiskey room I have a better selection than 99% of the stores and bars around me so makes sense to make a good spot at the house.

It's a freakin' unicorn. I found three..... THREE coming in to the US for the entire rest of 2021. One was already spoken for and I got one of the other ones-- it should arrive around the end of April. Covid has absolutely *destroyed* the bicycle industry's supply chain (I'm looking at *you*, Shimano.) The only problem? The bike will be delivered to Chicago and I have to purchase it in person as they won't ship without me "laying hands" on it. A problem to be solved later as I live in Denver. Worst case? Jump on a plane, fly to Chicago, Uber to bike shop, pay them to disassemble, pack and ship, Uber back to airport, fly back to Denver. Easy peasy. R. Going to order new Nox Composites wheels for it on Monday-- they have a two month build time due to lack of availability of Industry 9 road hubs, so the timing should work out well. |

That's a cool score. Good luck with your delivery plans. I don't understand their reluctance to ship it out to you but I guess that's the world we live in now.

I'm just in the unique position of being able to jet to Chicago and have it cost no more than some time and a Uber to the bike shop, so I can comply with the "letter" of their dealership agreement, if not the spirit. There are occasionally a few perks to my job. Depending on when it arrives, I might just ride my GS out there and back for something to do-- I've got three weeks of vacation over when its supposed to arrive, and my wife and I only have plans for a week of it.

Well assembled mine today only to find that the hydro fitting on the pump is made wrong. Now I have to contact them for another. Bummer.
