I've been feeling exactly this for eleven years now.

I feel a personal connection to Doug's guitars, as my uncle cut his teeth in lutherie working with Doug back in the '70s at Alembic.

I have a stash of cocobolo set aside for a Tiger tribute, but I'm not ready to build it yet. (And besides, I have a Wolf tribute to build first.)

Well, damn. Here's hoping Tiger doesn't end up in a vault in some private collection, never to be played or seen again.

With that in mind, here’s Logan.

Ah yes, the tandem bicycle - a.k.a. the "divorcycle."

I'm sure it takes perfectly fine pictures, but the ludicrous price here is definitely due to the combination of "Leica" + unobtanium.

holy shit

Those must’ve been wild times.

I’ll always have a soft spot for the ol’ Tiger - we restored one way (way!) back in high school auto shop.

The car is so tiny that the spark plugs for the V8’s rear-most cylinders are accessed through ports in the driver’s and passenger’s footwells.

I get it; we get dark here late enough already for it not to matter much.

It just has no business being almost 2pm already.

Chonker.

We should stick to Standard Time.

10/10 take. no notes

I think you're right (as @ltrytten.bsky.social pointed out earlier). I'd be happy for it to stream there, too!

(I believe the person interviewed on CBC commented that it had originally aired, at odd hours, on CBC - but certainly could have misinterpreted.)

At least nobody's hit the "Buy It Now" button.

(Yet, anyway.)

When I was roadracing and training in Northern California back in the ‘90s, pretty much everyone waived and got a waive back in response.

I’m in a different place now, it’s a different era, and most of my riding is for my daily commute. But I still waive, and nobody *ever* waives back. A sad loss.

Very cool!

Haha, I’d not heard of that incident - but love it!

Listening to Edmonton’s CBC Radio 1, and I’ve just learned that SCTV is going to be re-released.

Unfortunately, it’ll be streaming on Prime, rather than on its proper home: CBC.

Fucking Bezos.

To be fair, that black goo is worth at least $100k on its own.

I have a Nikkor-OC 35mm f/2 that I’m quite fond of. So, after careful consideration, I think I’ll give this Leica a pass.

It’s apparently the only brass-bodied, nickel-plated-then-chromed example of this lens, with this optical formula, in existence.

There was a Dumble guitar amplifier listed for sale on Reverb a while back, for an amount similar to this. I added it to my cart for a chuckle, which is probably what’s going on here.

“Hey honey, whaddayathink? Should I go for it?”

That’s excellent. And yes, this is insane.

It’s currently “In 6 carts.” 😆

One-of-a-kind Leica 35mm f/1.4 Summilux-M camera lens, listed for sale for US$650,000 (~CA$943,000).

“Free shipping”

My dude. If I could afford this lens, I’d fly over to Toronto in my G800 and pick it up myself.

(Cool lens, tho.)

Haha, fair enough. I’ve just found that Ray-Bans work for my facial structure.

Ray-Ban frames have been my go-to for many years now - I’ve had at least 8 pairs made with prescription lenses (both clear and tinted).

It’s looking like I’ll need to find another designer, and I’m not happy about it. But I don’t want anyone to ever even suspect that I’m wearing #PervertGlasses.

This has been on my Kanopy watch list forever - thanks for the nudge; I’ll be watching it tonight!
