On an unrelated (but I guess more on topic) note, I finally got around to putting up the new shelves in my music room. I think the oldest pedal on here goes back to 2018, the newest one was finished last week.

The Sushi Box FX Secret Society

Now you can open the official Sushi Box museum and charge admission! Ya know... additional income streams and all that.
I'm more than happy to give anyone in the area a guided tour for free, I think I've given three so far.
Well spottedNo Space Heater
Space Heater, my second Black Eye, and my Robot Butterfly are all on my board. HW Space Heater is still with my friend, I need to get that back.
I wouldn't think upper management would approve the additional overhead from increased floor traffic.
Right, especially with the new carpet we just had put in. So you're welcome to come for a tour as long as you take off your shoes.

I made a rule for myself when I remodeled my son’s bedroom into my music room/office. I never allow myself to wear shoes in here. So much nicer.
We've always been a shoes-off household (my wife is Asian) but the basement was more or less exempt until the new carpet went in. I have slippers I'm allowed to wear inside to make my frequent trips between garage and workshop easier, but my outside shoes are not allowed in the basement.
I spent years in Buddhist monastic settings, typically Japanese in orientation, but I acquired bad habits when I was a long haul trucker. My wife forbade outdoor shoes beyond the front door entry, and wasn’t amused when I wore my house shoes outside to get the mail. But it was for a good reason: my Montreal Count to 5 and Space Heater had just been put in the mailbox! But I learned my lesson.
Me: Alright, as long as I don't pick up anything new I think have a pretty good handle on my workload.
My stupid brain: Now seems like a really good time to pick Greenhouse back up and completely redesign it.
EDIT: Couldn't slow down my brain. Greenhouse now has two tubes and is in the same size enclosure as Smoke Signal to accommodate all the jacks. Four knobs: send level, return level, clean level, and blend. Redesign was mostly to address the fact that in the previous design the clean signal and FX loop signal would have been out of phase, they're in phase now.
SECOND EDIT: The Smoke Signal size enclosure seems really big for something like an FX loop, I may be able to get it back down into like the Dr. Wattson size enclosure to make it more pedalboard friendly. I'll do some measurements and see what I can do.

Man!! I haven't seen one of these since I was little. Where'd you find these gems?
Very cool Cushman... I had a Vespa, about 25 years ago. Absolutely loved it. Could fill up on $2 and ride daily all over Atlanta for at least two weeks
My wife is not Asian, but same rules apply at home; and I'm happy because I love to walk with my naked feet.
I will love to have a Vespa or any other Scooter to avoid the city traffic, but I have to carry my bass around all day, not too safe to do it on a scooter...

the gold one is a '69 , the blue one is a '70 and the topaz one is a '73.
i've had a bunch of them (more than a dozen) over the years but now i'm just down to two. (the topaz and one of the blue ones)
1970:
I grew up with Trail 90s, but my Dad gave me a Road 90 that I loved, similar to this. Unfortunately, he sold it when I was with my Mom one winter. Still miss it 40 years
Cool little bikes!
Honda has the Grom and the Monkey minis, but if I wanted a small bike I'd seriously consider the new Trail 125. I like the stability of larger wheels.

Had a Honda CB400 back in the late 80s, it was a wonderful machine and easy to ride. My father wasn't too much into motorcycles, so he made me sell it after a minor traffic incident. I miss really miss it, it was just like this one:
