Not a ton of info on this band; Discogs (https://www.discogs.com/artist/4372012-Tarwater-3) says Tarwater is a "Self-described ‘hard-core country music’ band from Mountain Home, Idaho." I'm not so sure about the hard-core part but it's not bad.19 Jul 2026 07:07 +0000at://did:plc:fzruwnnb4v4dsqompbdch44t/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqy7se3b5c2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/dectape.bsky.social/post/3mqru3kys7k2aThis one comes to mind more and more often these days....

He's done so for decades. Boomer all the way but in the best authentic hippie way and I love it. The world needs more shit like this.08 Mar 2026 09:38 +0000at://did:plc:fzruwnnb4v4dsqompbdch44t/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgk27otmvs2khttps://bsky.app/profile/dectape.bsky.social/post/3mgjgcpa2kc2fWent down to ICM today and fixed the PDP-11/70 system I used to help maintain at the Living Computer Museum back in the day. Any instruction that touched memory would wedge the processor (front panel accesses worked OK). Brought along my KM11 diagnostic set (left pic) to help diagnose the issue.08 Mar 2026 03:41 +0000at://did:plc:fzruwnnb4v4dsqompbdch44t/app.bsky.feed.post/3mgjgcpa2kc2f
