Was snooping around YouTube, looking for vids of the Stones doing "Rocks Off", cause it's Exile On Main Street month, or something... anyway, I found some good stuff, including covers of that song by Spoon and Yo La Tengo. Very cool.
And then I found this...
Dr Hook just blew my mind ... and not in a nice way.
Something odd happens around 3:20. And then... the bass solo. OMG. Crazy hippy freakout action.
I'm glad I missed that scene.
Taking this idea, and 11 feet of 3/4" PVC tubing, 8 elbows, 6 T's, a can of red spray paint (left over from The Red Menace), and a bottle of Red Oak, I made this:
... to hold my new amp. Like so:
.. because, as they say: you don't hear with your knees.
Not bad for $15 and 20 minutes of assembly!
I did make one modification on the original design: I put a bar across the front bottom, to hold the bottom of the amp. It looks like the original uses the ends of the two front elbows to hold the bottom. But that design doesn't really work with an amp the size of my little Champ - it needs a bottom support, too.
I also ended up sticking some little felt furniture pads on the bottom, to keep it from rubbing red paint onto the floor.
I have completed my couch to 5K journey.
I ran the fucking race. I did not stop. And I beat the woman pushing the double-wide stroller - but only because the course ends with a big incline and that slowed her down enough for me to pass. I am [not] a machine.
