LOL! 100 points for creativity, 0 points for pentodes. On the plus side, that would probably power some Raal's pretty decently.

Too much chrome. In a forest of bling, a girl has to draw the line somewhere.

A boy does, too.

Probably the world's largest finger-print magnet!!

Yeah, that sucks. I'm sure that being stuck in the 'too old for high school girls' and 'too young for the nursing home crowd' zone is really putting a damper on your dating game.

My wife scares off most of my girl friends. She's quite the handicap in dating.

To provide I have no taste I could see that going in a room with a matching table, do an oversized piston table lamp and so on.

Well, at least you're trying. Good on you!

A brief diversion, but don't worry there will be a smidgen of slightly Schiit related content. I've been working on my "other hobby den". Starting at the end of February my observatory looked like this:


I'm nearly finished with my project, and my observatory now looks like this:


And now for the slightly Schiit related content: the new home for my Loki is likely here, on top of that little silver box (a Musical Fidelity A90-AMP):

OMG! So you're the one behind the 'Havana Syndrome' attacks!

Does the room slide out or the roof slide back? And you know it is serious when the telescope is large enough it has to mount to the floor.

Nah, my gear only receives, it doesn't transmit.

The roof slides off. There are other designs which have the entire building rolling away from the scope and mount. I have two other mounts which I use on portable tripods. Building the observatory allows me to keep one of my scopes permanently set up and ready to go. The pier is far steadier than a tripod, stays put and doesn't have legs splayed out for me to trip on in the dark.

My observatory also gives me a place where I can tinker with projects I would never try at home. Like installing hard wood flooring. It's been exhausting, but mostly fun and quite satisfying.

Impressive!
