    1. The white fridge is working. Both fridges are stocked with sodas and LoneStar (thanks TA!)
    2. The Rally Power Supply has been fixed, replaced the rocker switch.
    3.  I have finished an Adjustable Voltage Regulator module as proposed by Ary. Testing results will follow.
    4. The extension cord on the red-reel has had its plugs/connectors re-done to remove the slop of exposed wire – less danger of the wires breaking and some shocking consequences.
    5. The big yellow extension cord has been re-routed behind the TV-PC and coiled near the white track refer for convenience.
    6.  Microphones are in a box under the TV. Kein M. and I will experiment with position to get the best general sound. Winning!

    At 4-years old in Pensacola I repaired my steering linkage on my Ford Pedal-car. Dad later converted this car to a Blue Angel with ailerons and elevators with a working "stick/yoke"; the rudder was controlled by the steering wheel. I like all motorsports - I grew up going to a NASCAR Feeder track with Sportsman and Modified classes, and was lucky to attend drag races in 1970 at Orange County Raceway. My first solder-iron was a Christmas gift at 9yo; I modified T-Jets to be AFX spec before AFX Cars were in local stores. I rebuilt a few tractor & car (SIMCA) engines plus transmissions by 15yo (I still have my ring-compressor and valve spring tool) I am a former mountain and road bike geek & perennial sound engineer.
