    Default Crap Weather for October!

    Actually, it's not too bad. Dry for now, but rain forecast.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    dry, reasonably bright after a very dull start. Rained all night I think.

    Tomorrow is rain all day again.

    Three times today we've had a dry spell long enough for the car to dry out enough for me to carry on waxing it and each time I've gone out to do it, it starts raining again!

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Didn't know you had one of those. Good back-up amp.

    Bought it June 2019 off of eBay but volume pot knackered so the output was at full all the time. Advertised as 'in full working order' ofc.

    Pro shop don't have much on at the moment as all gigs etc cancelled so I gave them some bits and pieces to fix. £5 for a new vol pot and £30 labour... I should really learn to do this stuff myself.

    Meanwhile - dry but not sunny here. Did go dark earlier so thought it might rain but it didn't and now it's gone bright again.
