Very peaceful day. Spent some of it making some repairs in the shop.. Fixed my new tesla coil so it can play music\u00a0while throwing 3 foot sparks\u00a0. (Scott- either the decoupling caps on the pots or\u00a0\u00a0load resistor across the optical transmitter fixed it.. not completely sure why, but I can run it up to \u00a0100% with full modulation with no problem at 10 feet. It still glitches at 4 feet.. but I was glitching too at that distance.. too close to that mean spark !) \u00a0,I also fixed my old Theremin.. it had a blown JFET in the volume atenna circuit.. bad mix of antenna, high impedence input and proximity to lots of high voltage toys.<\/p>\n

(wow.. that was nerdy)<\/p>\n

Spent a good hur sleeping by the wood stove with the dogs… \u00a0 \u00a0then later tonight, Gabe and I headed over to Chris and Kim’s for the delayed Solstice burn. Chris showed us his new angler fish mailbox.. wow !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chris had taken two of the wooden candles he’d made for the solstice and made them into the coolest looking robot .. complete with blinking eyes and a copper heart<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

there was a short fire dancing show…\u00a0\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My contribution was the ‘splitter’ (ferro-titanium filings) that make the pretty sparks you can see here.\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chris lit the robot using a rope dart<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you look carefully, you can see the robot’s copper heart glowing red here.. the camera saw it.. but you couldn’t see it with your eyes.. pretty cool<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

now home and about to head to sleep.. I needed a day like this<\/p>\n

nite all, nite sam<\/p>\n
