Infrared Distribution in a Structured Wiring System
Introduction
In order to make my switching system ‘Wife Compatible’ (verified) I had to devise a simple and bulletproof method of managing it. At first it was a web portal but I realized fairly quickly that not only did it have to be simple, it also had to be in context and unfortunately browsing a website […]
Introduction to my A/V Matrix Distribution System
Over the last year I have been building a fairly elaborate Audio/Visual switching system in our home. The original purpose was to allow us to watch Tivo in any room that we might be in without having to use a non-DirecTV Series 2 Tivo . We wanted it to be SIMPLE, one remote, anywhere in […]
Project is on “PAUSE”
That thing called Real Life has intruded and produced two significant items
1) We decided to undertake a MASSIVE home remodel.
2) We decided to have a baby.
Ok, well, we knew a baby was coming when I bought it but the home remodel thing was a suprise.
So, Ole Betsy is sitting the garage serving as a storage […]
March 23rd, 2005 - A deeper look

So far nothing totally unexpected but at the same time its MORE then I expected. Removed the drivers side rear outer wing to check out those decay spots that poke through […]
Hardtop Found! All Praise the Great and Mighty Google!

More digging about
Today I started digging a bit deeper into my TR6 to start developing my restoration plan. I am by no means going for ‘Concours’, this is a pure ‘Funcours’ job which for me means making it look nice, be structurally solid and fun to play with. I am not planning on removing the body from […]
Day 5 - TR6 Update (Diff mount and some rust)
So today I finally got some spare time to play with my new TR6 a bit, its quite exciting :) Heres what I found..
Day 3 - Yup, busted diff mount and don’t forget your chores.
And so it begins…
So, as part of my new Triumph purchase I’ve made an internal commitment to myself that I will ALWAYS put the house and my wife and all that ‘real-life’ stuff first. These cars can eat up not only your bank account but your relationships and lifestyles along with them!
Towards that I have […]
Day 1 - Car obtained
After months of searching off and on we finally have a 1971 Triumph TR6 in the garage! First, here are 40+ pictures:
