    You know you're getting old when.... doing a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency sweep on an R2R, monitoring it with speakers, and the dB meter shows +- 2dB for both channels but you no longer hear the high frequency tones very well or at all.

    I had a good run, 72 now. Everything else still works. :D

    Either that or chili was served in the cafeteria for lunch.

    Chili that can untarnish a penny as good as new.

    A penny that can wreak havoc in the giant Hobart food disposal Sarlacc pit much to the chagrin of blue-haired women in tight white dresses.
