I’d be willing to bet that I’m the very first person to use a @rodemics Podcaster to extract a Commodore 64 program from a vinyl album and then record it to tape to be able to run it.

Okay, I got both @8BitShowAndTell Easter eggs on the prodigal album. Finally. Yes, it’s what I did on a Friday evening (also my birthday). My wife helped. Took… a while and a whole legal pad page of notes to get. Well played Sir Robin. Video on it coming soon.

Stillll working on this @8BitShowAndTell easter egg. I got one of the two…

Still iterating on the portable C64 design. I’ve got a list of changes to make, but field testing today has been successful. #commodore #c64

Very cool delivery from @gregnacu, Commodore compatible controller with switchable fire button function and Chicken logo patches. Nice!

Well it arrived. Time to work on figuring out the easter egg @8BitShowAndTell put INSIDE the easter egg on this album. I don’t have a direct input to a C64, so step one is getting this program on tape. Where IS my tape recorder anyway?

Huh, weekend todo list is done. That’s… strange. Stretch goal is to get my pack base weight under 13 pounds.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. The problem child 128 is better every day

Considering ditching TheC64 for this and going with the Ultimate64. I have these two cases for it. Both will fit. A real C64 isn’t practical for power and fitting a cartridge in the back.

New to me 64C keyboard. Moving my Ultimate into a 64C case and want the keyboard to match.

What? 36 degrees F IIISSS above freezing. Time to power wash the boat
