that's the original AR tonearm with a new headshell and pickering xsv-3000 cartridge.
Knew the head shell was different but the socket connector is different than mine so I thought maybe it was the Technics tonearm wand replacement some people do. Love my AR.-

The North Texas Sun is shining in wake of the storms. Birds are singing, Redbuds are blooming and the neighborhoods are permeated with the sounds of Tejano music and staple guns.-

1962 Stromberg Carlson console. Controls were getting scratchy so I'm cleaning it today...good time for some pics. Original amp and speakers, still sounds great. Replaced the turntable with an Acoustic Research XA that fit perfectly.
What tonearm on the XA?

Jim Bakker, "And Jesus opened the bucket, and said, 'Eat this all of you, for this is my body.' Hang on, I can't get the bucket open. I AM TWISTING IT, LORI! If I turn it any harder, I'm gonna crack the lid god dammit! Lori, shut up! Yes, I am aware of the goddamn irony of the last supper and this supper bucket intended to last you past the apocalypse! No, these fucking rubes don't understand the paradox! What? We're still live? Uh, ahem. Jesus loves you, our operators are standing by."

Twc just zoomed in on a cell over lakeway and tried to see a hook on it. Headed NE so path would be lago vista cedar park gtownish.
Furk. Wife is visiting relatives in Cedar Park. -
Damn, dude, that's a tiny shithole. Sometimes I go Wagner Power Painter and that certainly would NOT work here.
My Aim is True. If you spray just dip the bucket in the pond and rinse.
Not any options at “Grandma’s”, which is somewhere between Go Cong and the South China Sea. Meal was worth it.-

This is greatness!

Big Bend is still great. Two kids (12 and 9). Rented a subdivided house in Study Butte (Chisos Mining Co, Santa Fe unit).
Day 0: drive. Dinner at taco place in Terlingua.
Day 1: Big Bend Ranch SP. Hiked Escondido Spring Loop. Packed lunch, ate at Saucedo.
Day 2: Lost Mine (arrived at trailhead before dawn and still barely got parking). Lunch at Basin restaurant. Recreated anniversary pics (got married at the Basin Wndow Overlook trail). Afternoon hike Santa Elena. Kids love to climb boulders in the canyon shade. Old Maverick headed out. Luna's Jacal is basically my happy place. I can't exaxplain it.
Day 3: Grapevine Hills am hike, lunch in Boquillas. Souvenir shopping. Burro rides. Pm hike in Boquillas Canyon for the kids to get filthy on sand dune.
Day 4: rented a jeep, drove River Road east to west. Lunch and hike at Masical Mine. Ice cream at Castalon to celebrate. Old Maverick to tell Luna about finally checking off the RR.
Day 5: drove home. Did both Fort Lancaster and Fort McKavett. At Fort Lancaster we were the only ones and they give you a golf cart to drive around. Lol
Next time we will do: Pine Canyon (after doing the RR I'm confident we can get to the trailhead); Cattail Falls (intended to go but no parking because of road work so did the Grapevine Hills); Closed Canyon; maybe do a boomerang kayak/canoe up Santa Elena (or north of park, depending on water level); Window + Basin (or finally take the kids up South Rim if they are ready). And of course do a Boquillas side trip, but this time I want to visit the hot springs on the Mexican side. It's only a half mile upriver.
Anyone done Peguis Canyon from Ojinaga? It's supposed to be cool, mostly safe, and not far at all.
I'm dieing to do Pine Canyon. If I do that, I'll think I'll have done every hike but the truly nuts high desert backpacking trips. We were going to do it, but I chickened out. If RR west is "hard" then I am 100% confident in doing it.
Been quit a while but have driven from Ojinaga to Peguis and back. Didn’t have time to explore but really enjoyed the drive.
Rode mtn. Bikes from Lajitas to Parque and San Carlos Canyons near Manuel Benavides.-

They'll get hijacked by pirates in African waters. Love to see the imagery of a Russian warship be towed by a fishing boat.
He’s desperate for funds. Probably headed to the Strait of Malacca in hopes of finding the wreck of the Flor de la Mar. -

Naw man it's this one. But the video sucks -- it's supposed to be Air Cav coming in and out of hot LZs
I thought “Ride of the Valkyries” was the go to for air maneuvers. -
Headed to the area next week for the first time in 20 years, traveling with wife and a 13 year old. Staying at a house in Marfa (sucks, got it) for a week. Planning on two full days in the park, hitting Boquillas, Rio Grande village, lost mine, balanced rock and Santa Elena. Dinner at Starlight, the Gage, and Reata in Alpine. We have reservations for the observatory, and are planning to spend a day doing the Guadalupe Mountains and Carlsbad.
Other suggestions? Thought about rafting, but looks like the river is low. Would Balmorhea pool be worth it in March (highs in the upper 70s).
Dining recommendations? Looks like several of the Marfa restaurants recommended in this thread are closed. Shopping and galleries for the wife?
Nobody knows the area better than these guys. Very cool dudes too.

Wow. Does it look like someone from the car fired something at the tank about 5 seconds in?-

A guy I know lives in West-Central Arkansas; the biggest nearby town is Mena. He's been complaining on social media that there is a shortage of saltine crackers in Mena. Seems like an interesting/strange supply-chain issue. Fwiw.

Had the same problem with Saltines a couple of weeks ago in DFW area.
Lots of nice areas around Mena. Ouachitas, Cossatot River etc. The lovely odor of the paper mill in Ashdown if the wind is blowing just right can be annoying. -
I had to zoom in to confirm it wasn’t actually some kind of baguette delivery vehicle
We used the good old American made Cushman for hamburger delivery. -

The Navy's Most Vital And Secretive Submarine Base Is In... Idaho?!?
By Tyler Rogoway
The US Navy's submarine bases are some of the most high-security installations in the world, but one of their most important and shadowy submarine outposts is not located along the ocean, but rather in a lake in landlocked Idaho.
The Navy's Acoustic Research Detachment (ARD) at Bayview, Idaho, which is some 375 miles from the ocean, is where new submarine and surface ship shapes and subsystems are tested in a sub-scale environment that closely mimics the ocean. In other words, ARD Bayview is the Navy's lower-key subsurface Area 51, and massive Lake Pend Oreille is a water based, smaller, and more outsider friendly Nellis Range Complex.
The lake's depth (it's deeper than Loch Ness at about 1150 feet), large size, clear water and quiet conditions provided by steep tree-lined shores and a flat muddy bottom, along with a constant chilly temperature under 100 feet, are all key factors that have made it such an attractive testing location for the US Navy since WWII. Also, the lake stays remarkably calm for its size, allowing for fantastic testing conditions.
I’ve been sailing on that lake. Beautiful area.-

Yeah, we are fucked. My son is in Santa Fe and will be in Annapolis. My parents go between Houston and Santa Fe. We are building in Northern Idaho, but there is a submarine base there of all places. So, I guess I just have to hope that I am on vacation in Tulum if shit goes down.
Pend Orreille? -
I just withdrew as much cash I could from my accounts via atms tonight. Already have some cash at home, but not a bad idea to add.

To last a couple of days
But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
Ain't got no records to play-
