Mostly setup my new desk. Dual monitors was a bit too wide for the previous one. Now to find a 1U audio amp and a mixer that does everything I want.

The new job learning process
I really need to move the TotalControl chassis off my workbench. But that involves digging through the pile of rack rails until I find a pair that can hold it. So it may be a while longer.
VCF PNW 2026 is just a month away!

Feeling imposter syndrome _hard_ with my new job. So much to learn.
Good morning San Francisco
Wondered if San Francisco had changed in the six years I've been away. It really hasn't.
Kinda want to build a Gotek out of XC4000s.
I have ideas for 3 new projects. They are being added to the list of in progress projects that only grows.
Finally got the water pump attached to the new EJ25 shortblock. Why am I bothering to post about such a trivial task? Because I initially reused the bolts from the old block. Turns out they had been over torqued and stretched such that they would thread in almost all the way and _then_ rip out threads even with a torque wrench set to 12 N-m (basically hand tight). By the time I figured this out, I had installed Time-Serts in 4 of the holes and broken 3 of those. Good thing Big-Serts exist to give a third chance.
