Grrrr, next time don't get my hopes up! Although I shall forgive you this time for the looms pics. I'm a sucker for loom pics. Can you guess what this is?

There was a guy who used to make looms in the area, Macomber Looms
No, I'm familiar with the old industrial looms from the 1800's.
They have punch-hole wooden card readers that program the looms actions.
The old 1800's looms can run on a circuit board that mechanically activates the punchhole reader, pretty cool
Macombers are nice looms. That's my 24 shaft Compudobby, air driven with double box fly shuttles, double back beams. The creels were behind me. My textile studio is not as neat as the Macomber room. I used the compudobby for complex reproduction textiles and velvets (I turned the air off when weaving velvet). I use my Glimakra for rugs and heavier textiles and Baby Wolf for short testing runs of less complex textiles. I used to do reproduction textiles.There was a guy who used to make looms in the area, Macomber Looms

Peg and chain dobby, I went with a computerized headHere's the magic, Jacquard loom card reader.
Like an IBM machine of the 1800s
Mine is a 24 shaft loom, not a jacquard, so I don't have single thread lift ability.

Yes same here many of the books demonstrate those old, gorgeous looms. My loom can accept a jacquard head:I can't even find pictures of the one's I used to see running, just woodblock prints.
They were torn down and the wood sold to musical instrument makers, highly sought after.

You can see the jacq mechanism rises above where my dobby head is. For what I was doing it didn't make sense to get that head.

No wind? Its calmed a little but its been howling here all night.-4°f and balmy, no wind. I'm gonna burn a big joint.
I'm gonna brew another coffee and heat up the dab rig. Its a good day to stay in sweats and maybe make a pot moose/deer meat chilli

Ok then go ski Snow Summit. Really god says you should go skiing. You are higher up than the LA Basin fishbowl and you can move quickly enough on skis to avoid any errant waves. Better yet snowboarding, so you could essentially convert to surfing and all the puffy ski stuff will keep you afloat.
Damn I'm blaming @shrxhky420 for that post. That dab leveled me.
