March 31, 2024. Happy Easter to those who celebrate this day.

What a great day to Binge on Chocolate and experience the pain of that filling that has been leaking. 

I would be in that category with the leaking filling(s) had I not just spent an amount equivalent to one of the fancy new uptown appliance box transceivers on two filling repairs. Well at least I can binge on the Chocolate bunnies without fear of pain.

Regrettably everything appears to have jumped in price including the price of parts. Well not so much the parts as the shipping costs. 

That notably is seen in the eBay treasures. I spotted a nice heathkit DX-20 for about $50 and the shipping was $65. Likely it is a twofer with part being a way to in effect charge a higher price by inflating the shipping and in part by increased shipping costs. Shipping with insurance across the US was about $150 for this jewel and that was three years ago.

6AM on the Left Coast ~ 20M Easter Sunday!

My only hope is the cost of Chocolate Bunnies remains steady although a pound of See's Candies for the XYL to mark this day was $40.

Happy Easter!
