John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 22hLast night I installed the Gristleizer by Dirt Monger (🇨🇦) onto my D'Addario XPND pedalboard just so I could say that, probably, & also to make all kinds of crazy noise. I did some of that after midnight. The amp sounds really good cranked up. More depth & dynamics. Life on the frontier! 260

John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 03/10/2026But linearity is an illusion, I suspect. (I've always liked the notion that everyone is present everywhere at every moment.) In a different incarnation, if there is one, I may be there NOW, in fact. A proper envy-killing thought! And I can always drive my Vette there (?) and see if I can find me. 😳 000

John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I did some research. This brand of short shifter (BPP) is known for being high-effort but not *impossible.* Turns out that the springs in these units sometimes get jammed in a compressed state & an accidental blow restores them to normal tension. It's not broken, it's fixed. 020
John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026In the process, a miracle occurred. The aftermarket short shifter on FANG has been difficult to shift into 1st, 5th, or reverse. I was going to replace it, but someone at Discount Tires must have SLAMMED the shifter trying to move the car and now it shifts! Before you think the worst, read on. 140
John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Drove down to Santa Fe this morning and spent $1,200 on new Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires for this thing.

John Hamilton Farr @jhfarr.bsky.social · 02/10/2026REASONS 09/25/2026 It must be at least a day since I posted a pic of my '04 Vette, now officially named "FANG" because that was the name of my first car, a '57 BMW Isetta. (No, really.) That one was a "he" this one is a "she." That one was named for a Nervous Norvus song, this one for the Mystery. 261
