Best thing about Prince was Appolonia That's true. Actually, I have to give him credit, he was an outstanding musician. And he had some songs that I liked, but mostly I wasn't a fan of his style. But he could play just about any instrument in existence, and played them well. Listen to his guitar work in the back half of this, the guy was amazing.

My oldest son and I loved to listen to Prince. He was very good.

Three guesses which track doesn't play right.
CD's dont skip; right...
Got a few hundred in the shop. In the winter they get cold, heat goes on and they sweat..and of course; failure. Id go back to plastic strips with iron dust on them...

Hey Alexa! Play Purple rain! That does seem to be the answer. I've ripped my CDs into mp3s and they're all on my phone. Yes, I know the quality isn't as good, but a lifetime of working with machinery has probably rendered that moot anyway.

I'm still flying solo at the shop for at least another week, so nothing is getting done. In order to make myself feel a little better about this train wreck of projects I went to the auto parts store over the weekend and picked up some fabric paint to refresh the faded fabric on the speaker grilles in the dash pad. The speaker grilles that have no speakers. The standard Delco radio had speakers in the dash. The Bose option put them in the door. Well, the radio is a Pioneer, because the radio did what all car radios of the era seemed to do. But I have speakers in the door, so it must have been a Bose. Either way, I've done my quick spritz and now the grille fabric is all nice and fairly evenly black. Guess what that make the dash pad look like. If it wasn't for that big, honkin' crack I'd just paint that too. Oh well, I was thinking of finding an upholstery shop to see if it could be fixed while I had it out anyway. It would be one less thing making the car look like cr@p when I finally bring it home. Whatever I do, it's going to have to wait a couple of weeks anyway.

Couple a hundred million WHUtttttsssss? ;-)) Oscilloscope and dual output power supply for operating and testing electronic governors on Bosch EDC pumps like used on Mack, M.A.N., John Deere and Volvo Penta engines. $$$? Seems like everything in this business is stupid expensive when you're buying it and worthless when you want to sell. Nothing new I guess. And you missed the dichotomy of the carpenter's plane sitting there. Just because I was cleaning them up and that one happened to end up there.
