my year of continuing to do things that I probably should pay for, but can’t bring myself to continues. Today’s adventure was rehabilitating my malfunctioning water heater. For $135 in parts I was able to replace all of the active and passive internals and upon reassembly, it didn’t leak and produced hot water. it only took two trips to the hardware store so I view that as a win as well.
I figure I saved myself at least 500 bucks today.
I grabbed Forza Horizon 4 (late to the game as usual) - it is being delisted tomorrow because of expiring car licenses - available on Steam and the Microsoft Store - Forza Horizon 5 has better graphics but people say it isn't as good:
This morning, after reading the year's best jazz albums chosen by a newspaper "expert" I listened to
The Attic & Eve Risser - La Grande Crue
Too free and avantgarde for my taste. Then to clean the sadness for not being able to listen to a single whole tune:
Keith Jarrett and two very talented guys - The Old Country
This is something that I not only can listen, but also enjoying deeply.
From my last autocross event. I’ve since modified my seating position to get lower in the car. I like being upright, but I had to adapt a bit to get more of a sports car position to get my head lower.
I got smoked by all three Miata’s in this field, but they all had semi-slicks and I’m in street tires. This was the last event of the year so all the good drivers came out to compete. Much to improve in the 2025 autocross season!
Yet another cheesecake. This one is to take to the MOA compound tomorrow.
I hadn't forgotten about them, but last I was there it was Dorothy's Birthday dinner, and I knew that Claire would be baking a Birthday cake.
Like my maccaroni dish, this is something I believe I've perfected over the years. We'll see what the judges have to say.
That left a mark, Grahame...lol.
I have seen some pretty nifty electric track cars over the years...not many, but a few special ones. This Charger is not that.
More power to whoever wants to own one (no pun intended...well, mostly). It just won't be this camper...

There are two mappings. One for the potentiometer, which determines the rotational position of the volume knob, and then a second for the log taper of the audio.
