    Yah, simple, and nice wood.... then notice is curved wood on top and bottom,
    , so simple apparence, but yet more involved construction/fabrication.

    I found it interesting that some tubes are labled as "radio tubes" and some are "electronic tubes".
    I wonder if "radio tubes" were common for radio circuits, and not TVs.

    I used to know about some tubes used for certain circuits, so knew what tubes were suspect for certain TV problems. So take those to the drug store tester machine, (drug store? hum, some store, dont recall specifically). ANd there would be someone already there that had brought every tube, and taking a long time to check each every tube.
    Whats the problem? Just a horizontal line? here check that one. Picture slanted sideways? here check this one or that one.....
    Had not thought of that in a long time. Thanks.

          Me goofing around. I'm wearing my old welding glasses. Not really dark enough to look at the sun with... I'm still seeing spots! 20240408_145354.jpg

            Couple days ago Mrs. Eli and I went to visit our daughter. She lives up near Lake Ontario. We took a ride up to Olcott Beach and the ladies went to wander the shops and buy useless stuff. I sat on a bench and looked out over the water. I noticed what looked like buildings on the other side. I googled a map and realized that I was looking at Toronto. Here's the thing, you can't see the other side of the lake. It's more than 50 miles away and the opposite shore is below the horizon. I was seeing an optical illusion. It was Toronto, CN tower and everything, clear as day.

            It's called Fata Morgana. It was pretty close to the eclipse in weirdness..

              Now that is cool! I grew up in the beaches area of Toronto and spent many nights staring across the lake at the glow of the lights of Rochester NY but never saw anything like that. You were probably standing near were I was looking. I've witnessed that in the Nevada desert on Hwy 50 though.

                That is cool, Eli.
                Twice I have seen basically the same image of Toronto when looking across the lake from Niagara on the Lake . It was on a blazing hot, humid summer day and figured the moisture in the air might have had something to do with it. Now i know the real details.

                  Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                    A subject I have explored before.
                    Is a big custome made neon sign, about 35x10ft. Is vintage.
                    Has had sections out since fall, and more out over the winter, and the other day I notice all is back in operation.

                        A shot from downtown Perth from a recent trip to Australia. Love the contrast of old and new.

                            Just because it's a cool photo. Road racing in early 1980's New Zealand. The super rare Katana 1100SXZ doing what Suzuki built it to do.

                              Cool photo is right!
                              I know they weren't imported to North America but i would still like to see one of the spoked wheel Kats in person.

                                Here is a rare Katana. It's actually a prototype. The rear tail section is made out of wood!
                                It is from Katana Ken's collection in Painesville Ohio (Cleveland).
                                If we could get a small group together, I could possibly make arrangements to visit Ken and his collection.
