    Crystal sets

    The other day while in Senior Daydreaming Mode I tried to remember how I got my first interest in electronics. I recall my grandfather encouraging me as I built various adaptations of crystal set radios. Remember those? Hand wound coils around toilet paper tubes. Galena crystals tickled by a...

    Hygrometers

    I house my vast collection of guitars (all four) in the same room, separated by a few feet. I humidify them with an Oasis and a sponge/soap dish in each case (belt and suspenders).
