***Did you stop accepting cardboard as payment?*** Electronic payment is much too complicated and a young employee once told me only old people use checks.🙄
*** give bitcowen credit for being innovative, being ahead of the regulators: the payment mode of the future is bitboard. 😜🥸🤪

Nope, not yet. Have spent most of my time since the move with unboxing and with working on that little project of mine that I'd like to get done sooner rather than later.
Maybe this weekend. Will keep my eyes peeled.


I know I'm not one to talk since I'm part of "the problem," but I'm curious how long this tiny little town can hold on to its small/old-town-y charm. It's definitely not set up to deal with a whole lot more cars; traffic on Herff, River, and Main is already pretty crazy no matter what time of day.
It’s going to be interesting for sure. When I moved to Austin 20 some odd years ago, going south on I35 towards San Antonio was basically empty space from about ten miles south of Austin, with a blip in San Marcos and another in New Braunfels until you hit the outskirts of San Antonio. Now the whole stretch is pretty much sprawl that reminds me some of the drive between LA and San Diego.

Austin is pretty much full, San Antonio is getting there, the infrastructure in central/south TX is designed for about a quarter of the current population and zoning isn’t really a thing, for better or worse.

Now I'm in the mood for a Mai Tai :L3000:
I'm in the mood for some Pappy. If anyone would like to send me a bottle of Pappy 23, I might send them some nice tubes. Might. Some decisions are hard. 🤣 🤣

He loves Vali 3 so much he has it in both black and silver!

I wonder how many backups of the amp you have? :laughing:

Water is going to be the constraint. Mark my words.

Best I can do is an opened and well-sampled bottle of Wyoming Whiskey well packed in some random cardboard. :smiley_cat:

Oh wait, I don't own any tube gear. :crying_cat_face:
