Nothing really pedal related here but after 66 years of living in the burbs I've made the transition to living in downtown Chicago (condo in the West Loop to be exact). Upside is that I'm now 2.5 miles from work. Downside is that my workbench is now 40 miles from home as opposed to 40 feet. I do the repairs for a music store in Fox River Grove so they've graciously allowed me to move all my crap to their store.
I predict my output will be dramatically lower, but the upside is that I'll appreciate the time I get at the bench. I've been doing a lot of guitar electronics lately and seem to be Marshall focused as well (lots of blowed up output transformers for some reason).
Was eyeing Orange County, CA as my next repair stomping ground but will have to put it off for a few years while I ride out revised retirement plans. Subject to change at the drop of a hat of course.
Sucks to work, but good to be needed, so very little to complain about.
