The adventures of Almigo

It's a one day before Christmas miracle! After some overnight parts from Japan* and a night on the whiskey and iced coffee syrup (goes well I found) my new caps were in.. INSTALLING, please wait..

You mean shoot your own project with a 9mm slug? Actually this thing might be more effective.. Well tempting true, but no. We're putting some new capacitors  in it.

It's been a pretty busy week in the shed as part of my arcade machine project, culminating in me wanting to douse my motherboard in lighter fluid and cooking my dinner off it.. I told you this wouldn't go as planned..

She sure doesn't look pretty but she'll do the job nicely!

Yes I've decided to embark on my most ambitious project to date (well aside from changing a rocker cover gasket on a WRX, on a scale of what I can do that one was pretty ambitious) and build a fully functional arcade emulation machine for the back shed. Aka one of these bad boys. Probably not this one though.. Do I need a fully functional arcade emulation machine? No not really. Will I complete a fully functional arcade emulation machine? Well hopefully, that is the plan. Will I break things along the way? Undoubtedly, this is me we're blogging about. Am I in for a world of pain for doing this? Damn straight. Come join me, this should be fun...(ish)

This week I got my muscles crushed, ended up in casualty (totally unrelated) and built the roughest and toughest looking horse possible. Rougher than this thing. Oh and I might start collecting razors in order to make me a millionaire.

Busy week this one - my legs are stiffer than Scott Steiner in a Japanese wrestling ring, I met a burger that stopped me in my tracks and someone wants my name on Facebook for some reason... Feel the burn!
