It’s been a bit of a wild and woolly week so far. We lost electricity for about 12 hours the other day and night and for the better part of a week the power has been off and on like the lights in a room where a 3-year old just discovered the light switch.
I think I might have the “sort-of-new” split mini air conditioner working in the audio shop now. It’s in “watch and see” mode now. It’s a very long story, but after barking up lots of wrong trees, it boils down to appearing that the voltage was just too low for it. I put it on an electrical phase with higher voltage and so far, so good. Funny how motors made to run on 220-230 volts get hot and shut down when you only give them 190 volts. You’d think an electrician would discover that quicker. Oh well. I think I’ll be shopping for a line conditioner or a transformer to boost the voltage a little for it.
It was crowded here today, as the little video below will show you. Emily Mitten’s brother-in-law is a youth pastor in Lima, Ohio and he brought down a ton of kids. Well when you multiply the number of people by some typical average weight, it has to be well over a ton. They’re doing youth ministry in schools and churches, but they spent most of the day here today painting the exterior of our studio – and our shop buildings – and themselves – and each other – and so on. They got the primer and first coat done, leaving just the final coat for us to get done before some major events this summer.

We’re moving along on our dual language project, but about to come to a screeching halt as we await the arrival of the hard drives and sound cards we ordered. As you’ll hear on the Audio Update, we have set ourselves a deadline and we hope shipping delays don’t spoil it for us. I had to run some errands during the recording of the Update, so this week is “Jerry-less.” But Travis and Peter did an admirable job as usual and they even had a few of our special guests in the studio with them.
