Veronica is on the mend. Today with the help of Mitchell Phillips (one of my son's friends and a general tinkerer like myself), we got the new engine installed. It wasn't easy. It took a bit to get it all lined up so that it slipped into the spline of the transmission, but finally we prevailed.

Got this cool vintage electronics kit in the mail today. Philmore used to make crystal radios back in the early days of radio (1920s). My guess is this kit is from the late 1950s or early 1960s.
Awesome. My Digi-key order came in today. Wanted to make sure I had sufficient electronic components to keep me busy while I'm cooped up inside. First project is to finish my S-100 computer. I also got supplies for other projects as well.
Yesterday I picked up some S-100 boards and one heavy power supply. Slowly, I will get an S-100 system cobbled together.
Today I have a new toy to play with. All the way from the UK. This is a modern full scale replica of a C64 like the C64Mini (which I got in 2018), however this baby has a working keyboard and also emulates the Vic-20. It also comes with some built in games, , however I can also play any of my own collection off of a USB stick. Pretty cool.
