Those are awesome! What in the hell are you mixing that necessitates a mixer bigger than a 5qt kitchen aid? Answer: anything you want. but seriously, do you have a side business?

Oh I remember this

There are also people that have tried my bread and want me to bake for them. I've refused up till now except for a loaf here and there, but by using the 10 quart and the 20 quart at the same time I can bake 27 pounds of bread in six loaves at the same time. I have a 6.0 cu ft stove, so there's room but I need to buy more "Pullman" loaf pans and they are fairly pricey as well. webstaurantstore has the best price/shipping cost on those. Two for $29 + $10-ish shipping.

I need another mixer stand too. I don't ever have fast food, or frozen dinners, or even a can of beans. Everything from scratch and BOY do I save a lot of money on food.... Costco has 25 pound sacks of flour for $8, and that makes a lot of bread....

I forgot to mention, I also have a SIX quart Kitchenaid I bought back in the 90's. Epicurean I think is the model. I screen scrapped some all aluminum hobart mixer porn off of eBay. These are the larger images of my mixer 'in the mailbox'. I'm thinking of giving it a fine sanding, then use a cotton buffing wheel on my drill to give it a good shine. Maybe some poly coat over that, then some translucent color. Sky blue maybe. Still thinnin' about that.

Last two pictures are the digital timer and aluminum diamond plate decorator switch plate I found at Home Depot. Gonna replace the light switch with this so I have a digital timer. The light switch is already a replacement for the standard switch plate on these.

Oh man, I love it. I guess we’re bigger geeks than these other nerds. Now go make some cinnamon rolls.

I’m really digging the Steggo pick! The little Dino is going on the work desk! Thanks a lot @Fingolfen!!

Got a haul of cheap caps from Talon as well as a discounted tip for the 936, 100x PN3568s, and these cool little SP3T switches in a TO-99 package! Sooo cool.
If mounted pot side with 16mm pots, the shaft would sit flush or just below flush with an enclosure top.
Made by ITW switches. Unfortunately, they're pricey. But cool!

@jwin615 — those SP3T in TO-99 are ... crazy-coolio!

Now I have to come up with a good reason to get some...

Theyre only a buck
Compared to $16 retail. 10k cycle life. If I was laying out boards, I'd totally use them for input cap switches.

I used to have one of those.
Was tuned to 1/2 of the notes of the Arab scale chosen at random.

The little air organs are more fun.
Had one that I hacked a cpu fan into and put a pwm fan controller on. Was fun until the smoke came out.

Looks like real wood, though, as opposed to most toy-pianos being plastic (red, pink , though black is okayish).

Tell me it's real wood (veneer at least).

I bought this Merske long before I had kids. Plays just the right amount out of tune, though that did nothing to slow their thorough disrespect of this instrument.

Nice! We bake bread here at the house almost daily from scratch for the fam. We have been grinding our own wheat for 20 years daily with a wondermill and have slap burnt up a couple kitchenaid stand mixers... We use "USA Pan" for all our loaf pans...

Grinding your own wheat, now that is impressive! I have a garden but no where near as much room as needed for wheat. Tomatoes, onions, peppers, weed, the essentials.

I still use the 6qt kitchenaid for small batches of stuff like brownies or other confections. If you want to try something insanely delicious, take your standard brownie recipe off the web; substitute milk power for the cocoa powder and white chocolate for the semi-sweet. I call it "Pan de Flan" which translates to Flan Bread. Now this makes a great base, and you can add a few drops of lemon flavor and a few chunks of cream cheese and you got NY Cheese cake "white" brownies with far less calories than the real deal and much easier to make....

Whatever you do, don't use white chocolate chips from the store. They are NOT white chocolate. They are palm kernel oil. I buy the 10 pound guittard Sierra white chocolate bars and manually chop them up. These guys have the lowest price, like 20 less than amazon. https://www.bakerscandc.com/

I get the guittard "signature" chocolate too. Insane chocolate/caramel flavor and aroma that will knock your socks off. Blows Hershey away by 1000%! But even C&C has white chocolate chips that are really palm kernel oil, so you have to read the ingredients. It has a longer shelf life or something like that. bah I say, my stuff is gone before it hits the shelf, lol.... BEST TO ORDER DURING THE WINTER! Chocolate.... $70 for ten pounds sounds like a lot, but if you go to the store and do the math you'll see that's about what it comes out to for good chocolate.

I bought the Hobart because I didn't want to burn up my Kitcheaid after one day I found the manual that came with it and realized I was overloading it by about 60%. DOH!

Well shoot, I better get off my duff and get to work. lol...

There was a EHX POG3 wishlist thread (lol) last month and @fontoponto mentioned that Thomann mistakenly put it online for 359€ (the price for the POG2) instead of 599€. I ordered it immediately and thought in the worst case they will just cancel it. Well, they did not, it came in today and they really only charged me 359€ for it.
Only had a couple of minutes to play with it this morning before heading to work but this thing rips. Love it already.

 

[fontoponto]

Congratulations!!

 

[DeadAirMD]

@Hirti Wow, that's a steal! Man, I'm super happy for you! That's a really cool looking pedal too

 

[Alan W]

I just ordered my first pedal in several years! I’d almost forgotten the “when will it get here?” and “will it do what I want?” feelings. DSM Simplifier Mk II; will do a write up after I’ve played it for awhile. I know this has come up in the wish list, but would be very surprised if it ever makes it to the home build world.

 

[rwl]

Got a 1 or 2 new custom enclosures from Tayda... time to rehouse some pedals.

 

[jwin615]

Some stuff from Huntington Audio.
ZIF breakout board to 3 pin for DCA use and some free bench sine wave pcbs(cool!). I'll be building one and pifing the others. And a free "freebie fuzz"

Also. A bunch (more) CA3080s because I have issues.
