Vacation nearly over, but it has been a productive one

[BmWr75]

Was lucky enough to get the last 2 week of the year off. Got a lot of audio projects done:

1. installed Russian PIO coupling caps in a Kenwood KW-40 tube amp
2. installed new power supply cap in a Marantz 510M amp
3. installed new power supply caps in a Marantz 140 amp, a challenge since plug and play 13,000 x 2 caps are no longer made
4. Modded a pair of Fostex T50RP headphones per the Head-fi.org wiki, specifically the BMF v6.3 mods with some Riteaid natural adsorbent cotton added. They sound great!!
5. fixed a dirty phono selector switch in a Rogue Perseus preamp
6. Listened to a lot of good music.

Back to the real job tomorrow.......but only 2 years more to retirement.

Over my vacation, I've:

1) Mirror imaged the front baffle of my Rectilinear Highboys
2) Cleaned/de-oxited a newly acquired marantz 1060. Fixed wonky power switch. refinished wood cab of same.
3) performed a spring replacement tweak on my Lenco L-75 that surprised me in the improvement it made.

I'm jealous. All I have to show for 2 weeks off, is a lot of time spent with power tools, and paint brushes redoing both my kids' bedrooms. The one ray of sunshine was an afternoon off, when I found a mint Mobile Fidelity Al Stewart, "Year of the Cat" album.

I didn't do ****. I played a lot of guitar. I saw the most amazing concert ever at Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble. I drank, I smoked, I hung out with friends and family. It was a great week.

You guys are lucky. Since I retired a couple years ago, I haven't had a vacation.
