Freaking horrible day!
Wasted 4 hours of my life taking half the lawn tractor to pieces just so I could refit the main drive belt.
Whoever designed it must work for tRump!!!!
Ommmmmm..... |
R.E.O T.W.O .... Reo Speedwagon.
Nice early album before they became pop stars. |
Wasted 4 hours of my life taking half the lawn tractor to pieces just so I could refit the main drive belt. @uberwaltz Oh the joys of having a postal stamp size yard 😁 I remember those days growing up with 2 acres to mow. I got to know the John Deere very well in my youth. |
As I am fond of saying the tide mows our yard..... |
Nice Jim!
Hopefully next house it will be the mountain goats job! |
Brian
This is downsized from last house ... Lol.
1.3 acres.
Last house was 3.5acres.
Sometimes Arizona or Nevada looks good. Rocks , cacti and sand! |
Guess you won’t be complaining about the double drive belts on the AVID... |

@drrsutliff ,
Using 3 belts on my VPI....... |
Zero belts on the Brinkmann |
@slaw very nice but visually accessible on the outside of the platter like my Origin Live table. Ubers AVID has them under the platter with a little alignment pin and a lot of blind tactile manipulation. Sounds similar to his lawn mower... |
@tomic601
Thank you for the special delivery. |
@drrsutliff that was fast !!! |
@drrsutliff ,
Did Kevin have you align his mower belts while you were there?
Wally-Tractor |
No I left him to become entangled all by himself. Just the stone in the ditch alignment is all I helped on...
The new arm on the AVID was playing pretty sweetly. Maybe it will provide post mower trauma therapy later this evening. |
As his lawyer and pharmaceutical advisor, I suggest he stay away from the Nakamichi for 48 hours- perhaps more |
|
|
Y,all pretty funny y,know.🤣🤣🤣
Try aligning the belts inside the Nakamichi!
Think I will take the mower any day!
Post traumatic stress relief coming up.
Ball .... Iron Butterfly.
Took 2 runs through the US cleaning but sounding nice now. |

Tone Poet is good, I am guessing my gift guess missed the mark.... |
Joe Henderson, The State of the Tenor, Vol. 1 |
Leonard Cohen / Sharon Robinson - Ten New Songs |
@tomic601
No your gift was well targeted. Both favorite groups and albums I did not have in the collection. My taste crosses many Genres. Saw the later version of Deep Purple in concert a couple of times as well as Steve Morse and the Dixie Dreggs again just last year. |
|
Tomic
if memory serves me correctly I think you sent me Drums and Guns by Low last year.
Must dig it out and play again! |
The Califone record is great! I have most of their lps. |
Deep Purple ????? What. ????? War Dept must have messed around in the shipping department....
have fun, enjoy |
Uber I think u and I just passed our all-timers test |
|
@uberwaltz,
With the new tonearm, surprised not much posting? |
Well the 401 was sitting glaring at me balefully so......
Really hate to say it but the Avid/Origin Live/Black Cadenza combo might have the legs on it....😲
Outsider ..... Uriah Heep |
|
Slaw
I planned to get some time in today but the lawn tractor put paid to that.
And I was over at drrsutliff place this morning listening to his new Wolf server.
And then feed the cats, feed myself, do the laundry........ blah blah.
Not the day I planned on having! |

Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are |
A daily learning curve. Between LP’s of the Hindemith set, I slid my fingers to the bottom edge of the SOTA, and realized the sub-assembly was sitting just slightly below the exterior plinth in the arm side, flush on the opposite side. Why all of a sudden?
Then it hit me. The Soundsmith Zephyr is twice the weight of the old Grado by about 5-6 grams, which was mounted when I balanced the table originally. Sure doesn’t seem like a lot does it?, but to the SOTA, it is. Removed the arm/armboard, took out some shot in the reservoir until the arm/Soundsmith ‘leveled’ the sub-assembly again, and good to go. Re-checked everything, re-weighed the cart, etc. Funny thing is, I just checked the platter this morning for level, and it was, at/within the platter.
It ain’t Kansas anymore Dorothy 😁 |
I've been gone all week so it seems like a treat to be home with my system. Picked up a few records while I was gone. Starting out with Helix - No Rest For The Wicked |
Szell conducts Haydn. Box set - Six London Symphonies. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1973 |
Know that feeling @big_greg
Welcome home. |
