It measures the sugar content which is super important for how a sorbet freezes. Fruit will have differing sugar contents, but there is an ideal amount in a sorbet that gives you smoothest possible frozen product.

Maybe? I sold my turntables and am planning to use the Kontrol for DJ'ing but also bought the mixer so I can, eventually, get at least one CDJ and one turntable just to play my existing physical media.

I bought a game show. Kinda.



Let me explain: This used to belong to a guy by the name of Art James. He was a fixture of daytime television, hosting shows like Say When, The Who, What, or Where Game, and Catchphrase. After his last show in the 80s, his last role of any particular note was the game show host in Mallrats.

From the 80s until his death in 2004, he ran a touring company that staged games for corporate presentations and conventions. Here's a promotional video for his company from around 2000 or so:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEV6SYj1UA8

What isn't pictured are the nuts and bolts that actually control everything: the relay panel that runs the lights and buzzers, and a computer running windows 3.1 that controls it and the displays. The whole system was custom-built by the electronics department at CBS. And it turns out a friend of mine is friends with the guy who built it -- he was amazed it was still around. I still haven't had a chance to set everything up yet -- It was all shipped out in four theatrical trunks -- and I'm getting ready to move to a new place, but I'll screw around with it once I get settled in.

You know, you're totally right.



New throttle assembly - I have nice grips already but the levers are rusted and ugly as sin, and the mini levers are just pieces of metal with electrical tape wrapped over them.



Temperature gauge



New pully, going to powdercoat it black. Purely cosmetic but mine is gross, because its from 1977 and sat in a barn for 30 years.



License plate bracket to mount...



Plate puller so I can continue to leave my bike in bike racks without getting a ticket.

I don't get this. Won't the cops just tow your bike? Is it legal to park an unregistered bike (or well, a bike with no license on it)?

Are you trying to say that a cop won't be able to ticket you for doing something illegal if your motorcycle doesn't have plates? Because you'll probably just get towed and additional tickets.

Its a motorcycle-for-children (a moped), and its chained to the bike rack. No, they won't tow it, they'll just keep walking.

Most cities allow mopeds to be parked in bike racks, in fact, Illinois State Law allows it. But Chicago, being the sparkly bright shiny city that it is, does not allow it. Chicago is stupid.

I'm curious what makes you say that. If the cops are officious enough to ticket a moped for being chained to a bike rack they'd probably pop you for not having plates in addition to the first ticket.

No picture but I just bought two tickets to Avett Brothers at Red Rocks this summer.

Midnight Fleur:
Exotic wood, patchouli, and black amber are blended with sensual notes of night-blooming jasmine and vanilla orchid. The combination of these notes is bold, irresistible, and purely sensual.

Smells more like decadently fancy-pants 'haute couture' apples and spice but gently caress it's so good.

Indigo:
Moroccan tea, Kashmir wood, and black cardamom are enhanced with hints of wild fig and bergamot. These notes combine to create a captivating fragrance that transitions well from day to evening.

I don't know how to explain what it smells like beyond 'gently caress it's so good I need a full size.'
