".....we're all bozos' on this bus."
Yup, guilty by DNA breaks 'n dents....mouth in motion when brain clutch shattered, wrong space with no time at all prior to the start, affairs pursued even assured of the death spiral ending...
...finished the first Real Pair of diy Walsh; still crude yes, but much improved over the cobbled smaller 1st go...enthused, enjoyed, warts 'n all....
Something To Listen To while moving on to the next iteration, another roughed pair to satisfy a curiosity about omnis 4 square...an early demented notion, yesss...
Completed.
Yes, the dark side of that moon had muddy secrets to be observed by the absurder...
Until, in a evening of enthusiasm, a crisp *pop* from R front. No nononono...
Voice coil. Not just failed but fused into a band of stink.
Knew that heat is the enemy of the diy Walsh; lesson now seared into my mind.
Minimums: Kapton formers / vented / RMS rating far above my max. available / thermal fusing a desired 'enhancement'....
...and learn the meaning of Restraint..
With a preference to avoid the harder version....(no pun intended, but it's there..)
Seen too many 'performed by others', fortunately or no, not close enough to be a hero or victim...
- A fat arrow of oak, launched by a table saw, zings across 20 yards....misses the head of an employ by transiting just as close to the top curved glass front of an antique display case, finally stopped by the front wall of said shop...
...inches from the pay phone, closer yet to the co-owner on that phone....
All Steve could do is to drop the receiver, turn and stare at all in the shop staring at him....
Of course he exploded....the dent in the wall got painted blood red.
Another:
- Install crew leaves a much later day from the facility, crane truck loaded with the rather large illuminated sign to be installed that morning to an impatient client who had the right to be such....having been 'pushed back' time-wise far too long....
15~20 min. later, the call comes in....the unit was now in the middle of an interstate, forming an impromptu barrier to morning rush hour traffic....
Of course it was sideways, 90 deg. +/-....blocking 2.5ish of 4....
Lost track of how many bullets and shrapnel I've had the odd pleasure of not being in the way of, nor directly involved/responsible for.
I've my own...
Better over a drink or 3, or other 'adult enhancement(s)'.... ;)
