I killed a driver cutting that plastic away. It's very easy to kill one and I was being super careful...
Felt sick today so instead of studying for my paper in 2 days, I decided to give this "yellow gold" spray paint a try since my girlfriend stole it from work for me. To be honest, I don't like how yellow instead of gold it looks. some of you might like it though. I just commissioned some rod blocks and gimbals, Big Bill does your source still do leather headbands?
PRO TIP: Do not use Spray paint near anything valuable. I covered a section of my glass dining table with newspaper and the clouds of spray paint landed on all the uncovered sections and I had to painstakingly use a coin in a cloth soaked in thinner scraping them off for 2 hours!!!! First time spray painting something so yes very dumb thing to do.
1 coat of sealant, roughly 3 coats of paint, then another coat of sealant. Wasn't very clean work although you probably can't tell from the pictures. there's one spot on each side that the paint probably rubbed off.. can't be bothered to do anything about it now.

My wife freaks out when I get some overspray on the cement floor from spray painting in my garage. I'm sure if I were to spray paint inside my house, my manhood would be permanently removed for life.
yea it reminds of a yellow ocre colour.. like egg yolk or lego bricks lol.
I'm getting rod blocks and gimbals from Marty. Spreading my business around. =)
now all I need are head bands. since I wouldn't want to pry open the wooden rod blocks once I have them on. Big Bill? Your head band guy still in business?
I think its very unlikely I'll have all the pieces together for my eastern europe trip, so its likely these yellow monstrosities will be on the flight with me provided Bila's cups make it to me in time =/
Else I'd be on a plane with no personal audio. long flight to germany with crappy in-flight headphones.

Yea I don't have a choice though. Its either grados come with me or I've got nothing. Customs have to be sent back to China.
Isolation from the outside is the most important for me, not to the outside when traveling/commuting/walking the dog... I don't enjoy having to turn the volume up too much to compensate.
Unfortunately, the modified Grados tend to provide less isolation than the stock ones. I guess this might be due to the fact that the rear holes in the fabric have been opened up and people have replaced the standard screen with a more open screen material - as well as removed those "SR-60" circular tags.
OT: A few weeks ago, I mentioned that I had a job interview. Well, this afternoon, I received the verbal offer with a formal one coming in the mail soon. I'll then be able to turn in my resignation with my current corporation. The anticipated start date will be June 20th. The pay increase is actually quite good, plus this position has pension program and not a 401k, like I have right now. I'm a bit happy - should be celebrating with some cold ones, but I was up at 4:30 a.m. this morning and it was a long day. The same can be said for tomorrow too - 4:30 a.m. wake up. 40 mile drive into the city. The weekend can't get here fast enough.
