I've been keeping my eye out for an old Simpson, haven't found one yet, but I'm patient. One will show up eventually

HP 41 and 48 calculators are legends to the land surveyors of the 1980’s and 1990’s. They made chips for land surveyors for both models. I have an HP41cv with the boxes and manuals and same for an 48gx.

A couple of years back. I picked up a 260 similar to this one:

It was listed as "parts only" but managed to refurbish it.

Tried and true old school quality that doesn't exist today.

ok crazy thing on a road with a wide bike lane. a line of cars on the left at the red light. someone in a little kia getting into the bike lane. thought they were going to turn into the driveway nope. was thinking a right turn nope. well they ran out of room so drove the right hand wheels up on the curb and drove that way till the light change and got back in line. no clue what was going through their head.

nothing like fake brick for a movie set.

While working on air conditioners in school the instructor was telling us about AC ripple on the DC voltage line and how you can’t “see” it on a digital meter. Mr. Simpson was able to see it and show it to the class. Mind blown by most. I think a lot of students are now seeing my admiration for these meters. Simpson still makes them, but they will cost you.

I have the advantage plug in module and circuits as well on my 41 CV. I also have a 42S which is more pocket friendly.

Vancouver version of clearing " snow " off the car.......

Back in the desert with The Gravelster. It rode like a champ up in the mountains and got me to a restaurant that served Mexican food and beer. What else can a guy ask from his 35 lb steed?

 

[kneebenderbiker]

Odd, WIERD, hopefully unusual, certainly eye catching!


OMG! some much trash. I politely omitted the w word.


Central Lakes Trail - Minnesota

all I can guess is these were stolen they were parked next to the bike path and the Walmart parking lots. hard to get them there. no clue really.

Maybe their trailer broke? Happened to my once towing a boat. Wheel bearings...

getting it where it was at would be difficult. anyone could have hauled them off. I noticed they were gone today.

Headwinds on the prairie making the flag stand out...strong northwest winds with gusts of 35 mph....Turbo setting made it easier. Going back was easy on Eco. Central Lakes Trail

It looks like a Pug mated with a Rabbit?

Perfect day to hit balls and take a ride in Palm Springs. Might be the last week of good weather. I think it was in the 70s today. Next week it looks like they are turning on the oven for the summer...

Nice! Feels like Palm Springs here just without the green lawn and Bougies. We hit 26C (79F) today and haven't seen a drop of rain since the snow melted.

This fellow did a nice job turning his 1960s Schwinn cruiser into an Ebike. Although I am not a big hub motor fan, I really appreciate his sensabilities and it seems like the only reasonable way to retrofit a vintage bike with a motor. Notice the discreet wiring and upgraded brakes.
