The defeat of the Taliban Tea Party candidate in Virginia coupled with the
defeat of the NYC Republican 1%er candidate gives me a small,

very very very small glimmer of hope for the future destruction

of these Republican, dick photographing, God-shouting, shitheads either in office or
running for office. 

Has the American public woken up?

Nah--

But it's nice to dream.

JoJo and i have started playing chess on the weekends.

She tries to get me to play evenings after work but 

her devious plan to take advantage of me when my

brain is drained by work I successfully resist. 

We are really enjoying playing and she is,of course,  very good.

I found and ordered a Led Zeppelin, boxed set #1, on Amazon. 

This was in cassette format, used and extremely cheap.

That's the great thing about being the cassette geek that i am--shit is cheap.

With the right equipment, settings and care, analog tape is no problem.

To me anyway. 

I studied up on the audio system in my Toyota FJ and found a universal plug in port.

My plan is to recondition a Walkman WM101 cassette player I

purchased in Japan years ago and run analog cassette tape through the

truck audio system as well. 

Season one on Disc.

I recently purchased a pair of Superlux  HD681 headphones.

I haven't bought a set of headphones in years.

The advances in technology and the reduction in price were astounding.

I'm planning on using these phones as monitors during recording off

my various tape recorders.

These are cheap and amazingly cool. 

The above is the radio and taping area of my very small nerd cave.

Below the watch repair area.
Don't be misled. My nerd cave is really small--that is the way tho i
like it--sort of cozy with all my nerd toys about me, within easy reach.
