Vintage Audio

Over the past year or so I have been walking down the road of vintage media. I’ve rediscovered cassette tapes (I know, why bother right?) and vinyl. I also tried out other “dead” media like the DAT tape, Digital Compact Cassette, Minidisc, and HD DVD.

I’ve picked up a Sony CDP-302 (CD Player), Denon DCD-1430 (CD Player), and a Sony MDS-JB930 (Minidisc player). I am also using an NAD 712 receiver, Technics RS-M234x cassette deck along with a couple of Nakamichi cassette decks (BX-125 and DR-3). For DAT machines I have all Sony machines (DTC-59ES, DTC-790, and a DTC-A7). And lastly, my Digital Compact Cassette is the Optimus DCT-2000.

I have also found a few SACD discs and am using a couple of Oppo players to listen to them, the DV-970HD and the DV-981HD. They sound great although they are a little older so can’t play Bluray discs. For Hi-Def video I have picked up a Toshiba HD-A30 player. The other video media I have is the CLD-V750 laser disc player. Nutty eh, all that obsolete media. It’s fun though, most of these were bought on the cheap because they didn’t work. I repaired and restored them all to full operation except for the DCC player which won’t record on digital tapes or play/record the analog ones. There is a play/record board that is faulty and they are REALLY hard to come by since I’d need a dead donor machine to scavenge parts from.

One day I’d like to have all this gear setup in a media room where I can pick an 8-Track, a DAT, HD DVD, vinyl, or a favorite cassette tape and play it sitting in a comfortable recliner. Until then, I’ll have to settle for the sofa in the basement.

Winter approaching…

As the season changes and winter approaches, it’s time to start shutting down the front and back yards. The pool is already closed but most of the other things are waiting for attention this year.

Hammocks need to be taken down and put away, the rain barrels need to be drained and turned up-side down so that they don’t fill with water and burst when the temperature drops below freezing.

I need to take the grass cutter off the Kiyoti but am waiting for the leaves to finish dropping first so I can take one last run at them and chop them up so that they break down over the winter and sprint so next year they fertilize the grass. Then I can put away the grass cutting attachment and put on the snow thrower.

The hoses need to be put away for the winter and I am going to put the black raspberries, blueberries, goji berry, and Gooseberry plants back into the ground. I took them out in the spring because they weren’t in the right place to thrive. They survived the one summer in the pots but it’s time to put them into the ground again. This time I will put them near the wildflower garden I’m starting in the front yard.

I’ve started chopping down parts of the ash tree in the front that is almost dead. There were some dead limbs which were in danger of falling off and hitting someone so I trimmed them off and put cleaned them up.

I’m still hoping to put the posts up for the outside yard that we’re going to give to the chickens next year. We’re going to get some egg layers in the Spring and already have a coop almost done. Just the outside yard that needs to be completed. I have to put the posts in the ground and then use some wire fencing to give them a yard that is protected from the coyotes that run around the property.

and lastly, I need to refine and finalize the plans for my maple syrup evaporator oven. Thinking I’ll use brick and concrete blocks to build the structure and the chimney. Last spring i had to redo the fire on the fly and ended up getting too much smoke in the syrup so it tasted too smokey. There was also too much vlame coming up the side of the pans so the syrup burned which affects the taste too. So much to do before the snow flies….

Continuing a thought…

Well, it’s almost spring in Puslinch, ONT and that means that it’s time for me to once again think about what to do with our gardens. We currently have three gardens that are a slightly raised but need to be raised another 12 inches or so. We have a problem with our dogs jumping into the gardens and eating our vegetables! And we also have rabbits jumping in and decimating our lettuce.

I’m thinking of using some 2 x 6 cedar boards to build a raised bed but line the inside with plastic sheathing so that the wood is not in direct contact with the soil. I’m hoping that, combined with the natural rot resistance of Cedar will help the beds last a little longer.

I think the beds will be about 18″ high and I’m thinking that I’ll build a short fence that is connected to the outsides of the beds. That should keep the dogs out! It’s a bit hard to describe in words but when it’s done I’ll post a picture…..

A Long Absence

It’s been another long period of time since my last post.  Not that I haven’t meant to keep this up to date but life just seems to keep getting in the way.

We’ve been in our new place in Puslinch, ON for almost two years now and have adapted to things pretty well I think.  Leaving behind the noise and crowd of the big city for a slower and less stressful life.

I’ve been paying a little more attention to the vegetable garden this year and we have harvested radishes and are snacking on the kale that is growing in bed number 2.  There is also another vegetable growing in bed number three that I didn’t recognize nor remember planting but I believe that it is turnip.

A tree died on our front lawn we spent some time over the long weekend cutting it down and cutting up to manageable pieces.  We’ll split them and then use them for firewood once they’ve dried out a bit more.  Don’t know what we would have done without the assistance of the Kiyoti……

Old Time Radio

Over the past few months, I have become interested in listening to Old Time Radio shows from as far back as the 1940’s and as recent as the 1970’s.  The shows vary from sci-fi to horror and are excellent examples of how entertainment does not have to include spectacular visual effects to be effective.  Sound effects, music, and good voice characterizations make for very entertaining listening when paired up with well written and interesting stories.

Several of my favorites are based on stories written long ago and include “The Monkey’s Paw”, “There Will Come Soft Rains”, and “Child’s Play”.  The first, “he Monkey’s Paw, is a creepy story that touches on the peril of “three wishes”.  “There Will Come Soft Rains” consists of two stories by Ray Bradbury; the first about an automated home of the future that continues to operate and serve it’s human masters who have long been burned to silhouette by an atomic bomb.  The last story, Child’s Play, is about cloning and the perils of creating a machine that can duplicate anybody.

There are several series of Old Time Radio that I have been listening to including:  Inner Sanctum, Escape!, Suspense, The Horror, X Minus One, and Strange Tales.  Several of these have duplicate episodes of some stories but all area available in the Internet Archive and are downloadable as MP3 files that can be listened to whenever I want.  Various well-known actors have appeared in these stories including Mary Astor, Helen Hayes, Peter Lorre, Paul Lukas, Claude Rains, Frank Sinatra, and Orson Welles.  Some of these Old Time Radio shows have hundreds of episodes so I’ll have enough entertainment for years!

Okay Now, In Unison!

As I dropped my daughter off in front of her school this morning, I was treated to a laugh out loud.

As I pulled to a stop, each of the several cars in front of me and the cars behind me stopped also due to the red light at the head of our line.  Almost in unison, the rear passenger side doors all opened and kids with mammoth back packs all stepped out of their parent’s car and simultaneously slammed the doors as if choreographed.

Then, as one, they each turned, crossed the boulevard, and started walking up the sidewalk.

After seeing that amusing bit of choreography, my eye briefly settled on the “No Stopping” sign but I immediately rationalized our actions because due to the red light we were all stopped anyway.

The light turned green and after a quick wave to my daughter I was on my way.  Just another car in a long column of parents.

Shipping Costs Don’t Make Sense

I occasionally sell things on Ebay when I no longer need them or when I run out of space to store them. Recently, I have sold a couple of non-sport trading cards that I had professionally graded.

One card was sold to somebody in Texas, USA, while another was sold to someone in Milton CANADA. I live about 30 minutes drive from Milton and wouldn’t consider driving to Texas. Both cards were shipped via Canada Post and both were identical in terms of dimension and weight.

What drives me crazy is that the cost in CDN dollars to ship to Fort Worth, Texas (USA) is $4.28. While the cost to ship to Milton, where I could drive it myself, was $7.49 CDN.

Sildenafil is metabolized by hepatic catalysts and discharged by both the liver and kidneys. buy levitra whereo viagra has a good track record since it has been used by the people to get through the problem of male impotence from them.

So it’s cheaper (almost half) to ship something over the border and down to the Southern US than it is to ship something to a local area code? How does that make sense?

UPDATE:  Oh any by the way, I just shipped an identical package to Stockholm Sweden for $6.51….Still cheaper than Milton!
