Not too many pictures of the cat roundup...
I like to believe that it resembles the Carrousel scene in Logan's Run. https://i.chzbgr.com/full/9666982144...s-meme-bro-yes |

Logan's Run was an interesting movie from a plot standpoint.

So, I finally had a chance to properly test out the https://www.car-revs-daily.com/wp-co...20-800x466.jpg Ok, maybe not that much, but goddamn, this thing actually does work every bit as well as I'd hoped. And right now, it's just wearing cheap-ass Sailun all-seasons. I'd been shopping for a "three-peak" tire set for it, but I honestly don't think that's going to be necessary. |

https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...c2973751ac.png I also, just now while fast-forwarding through the movie to locate that specific shot, noticed an easter-egg: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...0267e2b16d.png This is the scene immediately preceding the one above. A nurse drops this magazine which she'd been reading, because David Bowman's mother has gone into cardiac arrest. Does the US President look familiar? It's Arthur C. Clarke. Does the Soviet Premiere look familiar? It's Stanley Kubrick. How has this slipped past me for all these years? |

I can hardly believe that I have now been living in the same place for four years. Ok, so three different addresses during that time, but all within a mile of each other. And now that I own the one I'm in, well... I don't have any plans to move again in the near future. But speaking of moving, I took this photo this morning: https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...bd70bb0d68.png That's the end of it. That brass elbow with the blue cap on the bottom of it, being held up with rope, is the last piece of hardline needed for me to finally shut down my 21 year old transmitter on Sears 98 and power up my shiny new water-cooled rig on Sears 100. We pop off the temporary heliax on the right, swing the hardline on the left into place, drop it down onto the combiner, and tighten all the bolts. This is a big move, involving multiple contractors moving multiple fiber & copper circuits all at once. I have scheduled the transition to occur at 1:01 pm on Wednesday March 2. I have temp circuits in place so that the actual on-air transition should take about three seconds, and allow the rest of the folks to do their work at a more leisurely pace. I'm excited. |

Congratulations Joe! I hope it all goes smoothly.
Yesterday, though, I saw something kinda special. Just after Jeremy died, I dug up an old photo of him standing on the roof, printed it, and taped it to the outside of the door leading into the 100th floor transmitter area, which is also where the main UHF combiners are. No commentary, I just put it there anonymously. And nothing fancy, I just used the blue masking tape I already had on hand. Yesterday, I found that the outside of the door had been re-painted (they re-did the whole hallway on 100), and the photo was gone. "Bummer," I thought. On my way out, I noticed that someone had taken that photo, framed it, and re-hung it inside the room next to the door. Blue masking tape and all. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...20ab3a2606.png I briefly considered maybe having a plaque printed to go below it, but upon further reflection, I prefer it this way. For those of us who worked with Jeremy, seeing his face there by the door at the end of the day means something all by itself. It's a private memory, shared with a small group. I know that might sound elitist, but what I mean is that for the only people to whom this means anything in the first place, it needs no embellishment. |
