Ram Tunes

With the trans in and workin the Ram now needs the brakes to be bled, new shocks,and a new exuast to be ready for daily driver duty...well why me and Denesy are Fixing it up we needed something to listen to....it was time to install something other than a mono am only radio.lol...i didnt wana hack the dash so i made a underdash brace....i was low on cash so i got a kenwood 4channel detach face cassette deck for free then mounted it under the dash wired it up....place a 3way 6x8 pioneer 180 watt speaker in the origional speaker location the place an old 10 inchspeaker in a box behind the rear seat...facing rearward i also installed a 8 inch pioneer 180watt speaker in a box facing the same direction.....sounds great...plus a phillips cassette to 1/8 adapter so i can play my ipod and Denesy's Lg touch through it..i will later add a cd changer i have laying around just in case...and for all the old schoolers i still have a cassette of ''Another Night'' by Real Mcoy for playing..old classic House Hit!

Rambler Rising

So about 2 weeks ago me my dad and my girl all drove up to Seattle-Tacoma to pick up a 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible''more on this with pics later......the blazer ran great and got good freeway millage.....Well the biggest catch of this trip was i remembered the number i had to a guy who had some Rambler parts for sale....I ended up getting a working trans,hood,fender,geill and other doo-dads for only $100!me and my bro put the trans in and it good and now finally REVERSE!

Emu Esi4000 And Scsi


The Emu Esi4000 Sampler Uses Scsi as it's primary means storage....surley antiquated and most people thinks its garbage but there are quite a few ''Modern'' work arounds for this...one awesome way is to get Chicken Systems Translator Pro.....it lets u read write format and convert almoast any sampler's native format!

So i got a Copy then began saving all the the banks from my zip100'and converting others...i also picked up a 36gb scsi Hard drive to work with the emu.....but turns out it can only read 4gb of it!Bummer...so i partitioned it inside my Pc....then formatted it winthin TransLator And Walla!no more zips to screw around with......and so much faster....no everyone knows Esi's are capable of reading emu and akai sample cd's right?Well i found a scsi Dvd rom drive.....so i opened up translator then made an emu disk image of 4gb then transfered all my banks to it then burned the image to a dvd Rom Hooked it up and Wala! I've done it agin!

Rejuvinated!


Ok so its been a long time since ive updated anything her....with the arrival of my daughter work and all ive been pretty busy.....well in the mena time the Rambler has temporaraly retired from Daily Driver Duty to get some repair done......in the mean time I picked Up a 93 Blazer 4x4 to drive nice powerful GM 4.3 V6 but i miss old Rambly....


Alsoin my musical neck of the woods i picked up an Akai Mpc500 as well as a EmuEsi4000 to repalce my dead Esi32...rock solid combo....and i did a lil modyfying an deven got an external Cd Drive To work with the Emu...More on these individual Subjects Later...feels good to be back!
