I think that is the first time I've seen any of those complete kits for under $ 3digits shipped. I'm sure they are nothing to write home about SQ wise, but I'd get it for the building experience and novelty of it's function.
There are several versions to choose from with varying prices. Adding Bluetooth, vu meters and such. The two basic ones still show $55+$36 shipping for me. Either voltage.

Approaching single digits with 40-50mph wind here right now, lots of blowing snow.
I wish you'd keep that stuff to yourself. The noon weather report said it's our biggest temperature drop since 1936. It's currently 26 and dropping fast.
Currently stormy and 61 at 3:40am.
When I get off work at 1pm, it will be 30 and snowing.
Welcome to Indiana, wait 10 minutes and the weather will change. Not a wonder that family, coworkers, and friends are dealing with illnesses. Flu B and the stomach bug are going around at the moment.
Ortho visit tomorrow and a couple exciting interviews for maintenance management positions on Friday - both possibly life changing events. I've been trying to get back in to maintenance management since the average wage for that position has skyrocketed in the last few years while safety wages have essentially stagnated. Plus safety is boring when things go well.

Good luck. Maintenance is tough, despite your best efforts stuff will break, then break again. Then the scapegoat for not making production numbers. Yeah I can see why wages are up. It's tough to find people to run a shop let alone qualified electricians to repair equipment and deal with the inherent stress. Definitely not boring.
First sign of spring at the JR household is the removal of the old girls pajamas and the annual recharge of her battery. I bought a maintainer, I really should use it some day.
Speaking of car batteries... I went through several red top Optima batteries in my Mustang. They weren't cheap and I was pissed that they only lasted a year or two. Based on a suggestion from a fellow racer I bought a yellow top Optima. It was pricey, about $180 when normal lead acids were only $80ish. It's been in the Mustang now for almost 20 years! I throw the tender on it every couple months when I remember to. Just cranked the old girl over last weekend. Seems to have the same power as when it was brand new. YMMV

Hell, that would make my shoulders sore anyway.
It was a no flannel, ride the motorcycle back to work after lunch day here. I took the long way home tonight and saw lots of people out on bikes.
Is anyone surprised?

I would love to see Scott run that amp through it's paces. You can't even buy a pair of small SE output transformers for $60 in the US.
Car washing was part of my should rehab

Anyone catch that the big thing in the center is just an LED lightbulb?
But then I spotted this:

Yep - E27 is just a lightbulb socket.
It very well could be part of mine, as well - just going to wait and see what the doc says Thursday morning.
Drew, make sure you had 110V selected, as the prices went up.

Yeah, I was never bored for the 7 years I did it, that's for sure. I am pretty good at stress management, except for boredom induced stress.
All looks good for a man my age and workout/job/martial arts history meaning some wear and tear. Diagnoses indicates very little tearing of the cuff.
Severe impingement is what she called it.
Did you get the T/S parameters so we can model it for proper excursion limits?😛
I started the hanging from a bar routine to rehab my impingement. Best exercise I've ever done for shoulder rehab and prevention.
I started the hanging in a bar routine, but that belongs in a different thread....
I have heard that 12 ounce curls are good for shoulder rehab too.
Seriously, the exercises I was shown really boil down to "use it through the entire range of motion, assist with good arm if needed".
So, I'll just do what I do.
