350 small. Rebuilt engine and tranny. Just added electronic ignition. Otherwise all stock. Even the leather washer fluid reservoir bag that looks like an old whiskey flask. lol
Saved the original ignition in case for some weird reason I would need to sell her.
Likely not. Still only 96,000 miles. More perky than I am and a year younger.

Did you already pick up the audio cables?
Heavy Metal not as cool now that I don't do hallucinogens anymore. But...

Have you seen the South Park take on Heavy Metal? Hilarious, something about snorting cat pee, Kenny and his dad fighting over the girl. I remember all those teen midnight movies with a smoke filled theater watching crazy animation. No more.

I haven't picked them up yet, I'm saving that for this weekend.
I'm going to stream Heavy Metal tomorrow. I've never seen it. Hard to believe.. I've heard many
people talk about it, just never got to it.

The weird phoenix on the trans am was put on smog motored and 4 cyl turbo cars thus thunder chicken instead of thunder bird. I worked with a guy back in 81 who had a 455 HO version but most the late models were anemic to say the least

Here's an update on the monitors :
I have received both in separate packages, undamaged and in good working order. Both power cables were included.
USPS Retail Ground Service took one week.
[MENTION=112380]jimmys69[/MENTION] took great care to wrap each one, then insert rigid styrofoam sections on all sides, as well as
larger sections on the bottom and especially the faces to protect the exposed cones. Also threw several
dessicant bags in each box for extra coverage. He used a couple of boxes from a pair of A7X's, then
wrapped with heavy brown paper, then taped that up with clear shipping tape. I'd say jimmys69
went the extra mile in this deal - especially with his generosity.
I still have to pick up some stands. I've got them on the floor now - I got down there with them and was
amazed at the clarity. I shouldn't be getting fatigue from these.
Thanks again, jimmy!

So what chair is everyone using?
I've got my PC set up on a table which is 21-inches high - my "chair" is an ottoman with no support at all. Using my thighs as armrests is very uncomfortable. This works well for playing guitars and tracking, but it's terrible for mixing and daily PC usage - so.. I'm going to raise the desk, then I will need a comfortable mixing chair.
I looked online and discovered the #1 office/studio mixing chair will set me back somewhere in the neighborhood of $900-$1000. I'm definitely not going to buy that one. The runners up come at, roughly, $110-$300.
I like the thought of being enveloped in lots of cushy padding, but I know this shouldn't be a Lazy-Boy. The "best" chairs are mostly ergonomic and very supportive as they work with body contours - but no real padding.
What chairs are you using?
What are you monitoring with? That will have a huge amount to do with fatigue.
And a really comfy chair helps.

Glad they got to you safely and that someone worthy will get some use from them. Keeping things in the HR family.

After about 5 years killing my back with a "comfy" padded office chair I finally bought a 150 dollar clone of a real producer/engineer style chair and now I don't hurt after sitting for an hour or two or even three. I vote no squishy chairs!

Plenty of good affordable chairs at Ikea and officemax. A while back even Costco had some of those 'herman whatever' clones for 75 bucks! They were excellent chairs too!
Point being, if you look around you can find a great chair for 100 bucks or under.
Also scour CL. Offices go out of busines all the time and they practically give stuff away.

I've had a couple of clones in the past...and with them I gave up on squishy and/or leather or fabric chairs.
The mesh chair just felt more comfortable and you didn't get that sticky feeling sitting on them when it's warm, because they breathe.
However, they never seemed to really last. I would get maybe a coupe of good years out of the, and then they lose their feel or shit starts to break down...etc.
So last year a sprung for a real Herman Miller Aeron chair...which I was able to get it at substantial discount (took me awhile to find a good deal), and I paid only about half-price for it. Still not real cheap compared to the Costco/Office Depot clones...but this baby is wonderful to sit on, plus it's got a 12 year full repair/replacement warranty...so I'm not worried about it not lasting.
Only thing about it that it doesn't do like my last chair...is that the Aeron doesn't tilt/lock all the way back like a recliner...
...which my last one did, and it was great for taking a short nap in the studio when the mood hits me...but the Aeron is without a doubt a significantly better chair. I also got the one with forward tilt so you get a bit more of a forward lean that takes out any pressure under your thighs down at the knees. Some chairs are too high in that area and they will cut off the circulation to your legs, which is not good considering we sometimes sit for hours in the studio.
It also has the normal upright position...and it can lean back a decent amount too.
