Colorado mountain person. I make things and go to conventions. Generally I'll post content related to my hobbies, which include #car restoration, #outdoor experiences, #furry events, #games (tabletop and PC games, sometimes older consoles), #Linux, #computers, and fixing stuff in general.

I am online to be silly. I'm usually silly.

Hoping to meet folks with similar interests. Come say hi!

Got the moped up and running after a long winter vacation!

All it needed was a bit of air in the tires and (not shown in this photo) some oil on the chain. I hit 25mph with just me, and topped out around 10mph taking our dog on a running loop around the neighborhood.

I still need to clean things up but I'm hoping to use this for my short trips into town now that we don't have snow and ice on the ground (it also handles hills better now that I've lost 30+lbs).

I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it further.

Someone had to do it.

With apologies to Randall Munroe (XKCD 387).

A fearsome hunter!

Don't worry, we reloacted them and their kill outside. Much healthier envrionment than the garage (probably better eating too).

On an unrelated note I'm glad spiders are usually small.

Finally sold a car for once. Bye bye 1987 Nissan Maxima! Sorry I never had time to replace that blown head gasket. Hopefully your new owner does better!

The good news here is that I held out for a buyer who was actually interested in the car. They've got a donor and they're planning to restore and manual swap this car with parts from the donor. I'm excited to see how it comes out!

Now we just need to clear out a few more vehicles...

Tonight's question: can I unfuck the convergence on this Samsung CRT televsion I saved from the dump.

The answer is: mostly! Geometry is still a bit wonky but most of the lines, er, line up. The convergence rings use a mechanical retainer instead of epoxy, so adjustment was actually much easier than expected (thanks 1990s Samsung engineers).

This is about the best I can do without a proper test pattern generator. TV only has an RF input, so I kinda bodged a test pattern with an HMDI to RF converter (introducing a ton of noise). But hey, it's clearly *way* better now! Interestingly, the TV housing has unused knockouts for composite video in and audio out, and there are empty spots on the board where those circuits would go... wonder if it's as easy as just populating the board? That'd be neat.

Also, more appliances should have x-ray warnings. Appliances are so lame now, all they do is listen to you having sex and sell that information to marketing companies. Bleh.

Personal nightmare: housefly landing on my cock while peeing. Can't just shake it off; I'm peeing. DEFINITELY don't want to swat it. Bug spray is out of the question.

It... it just happened. In this bathroom. I'm shook, folks.

(Cock not pictured).

I've developed a bit of a reputation; the folks at the town dump are saving things for me now.

This is a onn. (brand name) 100095550 monitor. 32", 1080p, 75Hz refresh rate. Very barebones, with one HDMI port, one VGA port, and no menu options that I can find other than what you see here (input detection and input selection). There are a few light scratches on the screen but it does work!

No idea what I'm going to use this for, will probably wind up on Craigslist unless there's someone local who wants it (free, if you want to pick it up; I don't think it will ship well).
