Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
I finally broke down and bought some T-111 ( treated 
) to repair the 30-year-old, mostly water-damaged siding on my barn-shed. It wasn't easy! But, slow and steady...I'm getting it done. It just had the roof sheathing and shingles replaced in April. These renewal projects should last another 30 years.
I will keep putting bug killer around the inside perimeter every year to combat termites!
I did get minor termite damage, but that was when I was pretty bad off and didn't spray for a year or two.
The sides are 4' high. So I figured doing 2' treated panels on the bottom ought to be plenty of protection, and I get 4 panels out of a sheet of T-111 too.
99% was water rotting over 30 years. I probably could have gotten away with new 18" panels. Well, after taking the old damaged panels off, I cut NICE 18" panels out of them. I tossed the rotten 6" cut-offs into the trash bin.

Re: My 12 step program has gone awry
Can’t say I’ve had that kind of paint problem…yet!
Power supply basics done. 330v DC where it should be. It’s just a bit high but I have no load at all on the transformer.

Re: My 12 step program has gone awry
Next time you buy paint, check the expiration dates first.
Looks good! I was going to do my Otari faceplate and rack mounts with Rust-Oleum Textured Black. The face plate cleaned up nice, so I was just gonna do just the rack mounts. I shook the can really good, it started spraying then the feed tube clogged. I just used the Behr old rubbed bronze paint I had used for the head cover and returned the black for a refund.
Not my Otari deck, belongs to Nashou66 at AK, but this is what the textured black finish looks like.

If I like an album/artist enough, I buy a physical copy (or digital download that's backed up 3x).
In essentially all cases, I prefer physical/downloaded media to streaming for outright quality. Streaming has steadily improved, but still not up to critical listening yet, IMO.
Me too brother! I have discovered a treasure trove of music via streaming service! Only it's actually hard to find good original recordings any more.
