We had a very quiet start to 2016.. really didn’t do much. Took a walk out with the dogs.. but the snow was too crusty and slippery to make for good hiking.

Did spend some good time with Friend Scott doing some final tuning on the tesla coil Scott rebuilt for me to replace the old SSTC coil I built for travel. We got it to consistently hit about 30″ of spark which isn’t bad for something that weighs just 15 pounds. We’re still trying to debug a glitch in the midi interface circuitry which keeps us from bringing it to full power.. hope to nail that soon.  Other than that.. this thing is working great. it’s the perfect addition to my shows.. as it can stand in for my old reliably spark gap coil that weighs over 100 pounds !

Later in the day we went and saw freind Bradley and Justins new beautiful home..

Aside from that.. our biggest accomplishment today ws to eat all the leftover from 2015…

starting the new year with a clean fridge is a good thing !

nite all, nite sam
