My nips only have issues in extremely cold weather. π₯Ά
I woke up without coffee. I guess I'm lucky that my wife keeps a stash of tea bags handy.
2 bags per cup. Still not enough. Uuuugh.
GM to all the filthy animals cluttering my #Nostr timeline!
Good night, #Nostr. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
My new amp. πβ‘οΈπΈ
It's an old Philco tube radio π» (circa 1950) restored and repurposed as a guitar amplifier.

I did an intensive restoration on the Philco, inside and out and I'm really pleased with the result.
Check out the before and after shots (sorry, my phone camera sucks).

The process of converting an old radio into an amplifier is laborious and dangerous.
These old radios were known as widow makers as they allow the entire house voltage β‘οΈ to sit on the chassis. No big until you complete the circuit via your guitar strings!
She is now electrically safe. She is also touch sensitive and kicks out saturated distortion when pushed. I β€οΈ her very much.
Sound clips coming soon.
I have a collection of old radios that I plan on converting 1 by one and offering for sale (#bitcoin only), but this one may be mine forever.
Keep an eye out on this page for new pieces. In the meantime, here are some process pics:






I'll have time later in the coming week to learn more. Maybe I'll ask you some questions when I run into sticking points. Ty.
Cheers. We agree π―
You have my sides split I'm laughing so hard. π€£
I feel you. Money has its place, but aren't relationships and community about so much more?
It feels like a real community, doesn't it?
Are there any #Nostr users that don't care about #bitcoin or #zaps?
Like, are there segments of users here that are more interested in free speech or an algo-less social media experiment than cryptocurrency?
If they're not here yet, I think they'll be here soon.
Very cool. I look forward to any/all updates
Will you βΏ my valentine?
