I just slipped/bounced down at least 4 stairs, sober. Caught myself, but oy. I can do this drunk off my ass with no pratfalls, what went wrong?!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I just eat leftovers, but sometimes I freeze them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

So no one but me does the thing where you just eat leftovers each meal until they're gone rather than freezing them?

I'm slowly learning to freeze leftovers As opposed to eat them until gone.

It's a process.

So I have successfully convinced the SO that buying me a new crockpot so I can use the old one to warm hide glue was a good use of resources.

Hmmmmm. You're more persuasive than I am. I had to buy my own. Which is now (perfectly reasonably) covered in hide gloop and sawdust and such....

For hide glue, think water bath. Don't let it get over 145 F if you can help it.

Do you know where I can buy conductive epoxy?

Mouser Electronics. They're easy to deal with.....

And here's the preamp.. It's easy....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

This is what I'm looking at doing. The crockpot will hold the water and the inverted, cut lid will support the hide glue in a canning jar. I think I can do it so it's suspended, but if not, I'll use a towel on the bottom like he did.

They're easy to deal with.....

Okay, great, thanks.

Ok, for the preamp, is this the one we were talking about with a film piezo and the basslines pickup? Those pickups would be where the two piezos are in that diagram? I think the circuit board stuff might be over my head right now, but I'm game to try.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'm rather astonished at how little histrionics I'm seeing on facebook over Downton Abbey. Didn't the season finale finish like 30 minutes ago (on the west coast)? Was everyone already spoiled or still sitting on their sofas processing?

That pre essentially is separate, and blended prior to the jack (blend pot) and a filter or two....

The glue pot is ingenious!

The circuit board stuff actually isn't difficult, but it requires attention to detail, and it works great.

erin,

there were a LOT of people who were spoiled, so that might be it. People completely lost it in my twitter timeline. They were PISSED.

The status is NOT quo.

I haven't watched it yet! Please don't spoil me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"So no one but me does the thing where you just eat leftovers each meal until they're gone rather than freezing them?

I can't eat my way through four pounds of pot roast before it goes off.

So, what happened in Downton Abbey? I never managed to get back into season 3.
