Got myself set up at the dining table to do some soldering work on my JBL monitors. I had already assembled the crossovers using "the best" components, following the original designer's modern day improvements posted on the Lansing forum and mounting everything to a dead piece of MDF for no vibrational interference during loud passages of playback.

Now I am going to attach the silver cabling I ordered a long time ago, that will connect to the actual drivers and tin all the terminal ends.  A kind of sub-assembly that will count as progress, even though there is much sawing, milling, sanding, finishing still to do. I have built the baffle boards and I can use them to measure for length.
With all the high grade capacitors, hand wound inductors, silver cable, I have over fifteen hundred dollars invested in the crossovers alone. Not uncommon for handmade crossovers of this caliber.

I intend to do my best silver solder work.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Trying to get a lot of water in me to make the bloodwork easier.

Looking at the computer and drinking tea, while waiting for a small load of laundry to finish.

Nursing a bitchy lower back today, myself.

Watching a new (to us) Netflix series my daughter recommended called,  DAЯK. Enjoying my tea.

Listening to the interview we did about Nick. Just started. It's good.

Taking a break from some craft projects.  My motivation to do stuff with my Florida seashell supply is returning slowly.

Just finished using free credits to get an audible book. Figured I'd try it since I can't read books like I used to and I have a lot of waiting to do in my can tomorrow.

Why? What's up?

Currently waiting for dinner to finish cooking. Italian sausage and roasted potatoes and bell peppers.
