tryna see if my old tom and jerry 16mm reel has shrunk and rotten too much to play at the drive-in movie hosted by av and Hans on Friday. last time I ran this thing I got horrible (60hz?) hum from the speaker and that certainly hasn't improved in >10 years
Cruising by this traffic feels so good. I sat in this shit -- declutching and shifting gears every weekday for YEARS. And this isnt even bad rush hour traffic for i90 lol
My saddles too high, I gotta get a quick release. (also, rare Siemens on the 2 line today. my handlebars still stick halfway into the aisle lmao)
Wrapped up an incredible first trip to Japan testing out 7 different yamaha mouthpieces at the Yamaha Ginza flagship store (life goal accomplished), on a $5000(!) dependent YBL-822G double valve bass bone (iirc this is their clone of a "haagman" valve) horn.
I'm imagining living in a place where I can visit my friend who lives on the other side of the country in a matter of hours. No drivers license needed. No TSA pat-downs. Flat ticket rates...
what's the safer leg of my trip to Japan, the 38 year old IROC taking me to the airport, or the 7 year old 787-9?
so we've still got to find a replacement cable, but while we've got the bad cable cleaned up and working again (for now) I'm now moving on to a stabilizer replenisher pump that is stuck on, even though the CPU thinks its not.
The Loading Cover Door sensor signal wasnt making it back to the main board (this initiates the processing cycle). Celanor and I resolved a low 5v rail coming from a secondary PSU and traced the bad signal to a corroded cable that runs 3 feet from the loading breakout board down to the main.
A photo lab near me had this Noritsu V50 sitting dead in their lab for over a year and I convinced them to let me try and take a stab at fixing it. Earlier this week, with the electrical troubleshooting help of the lovely @celanor.org, we finally got it accepting leader cards and rolls.
having a friend over to watch Noroi: The Curse. wonder if he'll fall asleep to it like the last 2 ppl I showed this movie to
mocking up and cutting a blockoff plate using an old license plate and the original steel gasket. probably going to add a plate to the cylinder head side of the pipe when I tackle the passengers side later. Maybe more accessible from underneath the car.
Tryna hack out a common 07 wrx emissions issue. Driver's side air pump switching valve. by count of pins in the connector, this is the one containing a baro sensor. Also looks like its not restorable, by me anyway. this one is the easier of the two to pull. book says to pull manifold for the other
metered for the blue dudes face and I placed my camera for strong fringe lighting. gw690i, Kodak 160nc @ 100
This hot sauce has been in the fridge since before I moved into this house and I gotta find more before it's gone. Maybe double D meats would have it
This thing is fun! All the purple states are ones I want to visit. I'd love to road trip these some time. I just need an email job and a vehicle big enough for me to build out and sleep in :03 Try it for yourself here: tenpages.github.io/us-level/us....
Some of that VPS 4x5 blasted at iso 12 I've got a lot to learn abt how negative film exposes.
Three exposure tests, taken on a day where the lighting was changing very rapidly. Averaging for iso 12, 25, 50. At first I thought that 12 looked the best since it retained the most shadow detail, but taking some more evenly lit scenes in the following weeks, iso 12 blew out my colors into pastel.
Gordi told me about some old Kodak Vericolor III (1994 exp) for relatively cheap on eBay. it has shmutz on the box, so might have been cold stored part of the past 30 years. did some test exposures, iso 12,25,50 (messed up the 100 test shot so got to look at the emulsion)
i thought I posted this here but I guess it was only on my IG. this was a month ago
