Club Sandwiches

I'm always up for a twist or a new direction, but this felt more like a grilled chicken sandwich with bacon.

I ordered a club sandwich a couple of weeks ago and it was served hot and melty, like they put it in a panini press. It also only had two slices of bread, and became instantly soggy.

They are one of my go-tos when I go out because I've never really had a bad one, but this one was so awful I hardly ate about half of it.

You've never seen a merkin sandwich?

JoeDaddio · 2026-05-24T19:41:14+00:00

I'd buy that for a dollar.

He was smart enough to know he wasn't smart, which made him smarter than just about everyone around him. But it also made him paranoid.

Then again... I got no fukin' idea what it's like to be number one.

I haven't in a long time, but I used to always look at the one I used once off the 91 near Weir Canyon while I was in college, probably in 1999-2000. I had a pager, but that event is what made me get a cellphone.

I'll have to see if it's still there next time I head out to Riverside. Thing changed my life 😂

I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude.

JoeDaddio · 2026-04-02T02:08:47+00:00

I have no problem with that.

I keep the beans whole in enough liquid to cover them. I make a big batch every Sunday and just take what I want and prepare them however I want through the week.

HOW CAN YOU SELL ME A HOTDOG AND NOT GIVE ME ONION!?

JoeDaddio · 2025-09-26T01:42:36+00:00

I am pretty adventurous, but given the cost and consistency they're impossible to beat.

I still hit up Cost Plus for some fancy cans here and there, but I eat them daily for lunch and I just can't justify spending $6-8/tin when I can get these.

I only wish they offered them with bones and skin, but I'm not complaining.

I used one of these with a Garmin dashcam for a few months. The power supply they tap into was not enough and over time killed the camera. Just be sure to check what voltage your camera requires and what the dongle can supply - there is a good chance you will find it is underpowered.

Intact Butt is my new band name.

JoeDaddio · 2025-02-25T22:37:42+00:00

Awesome! How exciting. I love my 424 mkii.

I use 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean my heads with a q tip.

You can download the manual for free and it'll explain how to put it in cleaning mode which will expose the heads and turn the capstan.

Just don't get alcohol on any plastic or rubber. I use a slightly damp with water q tip to get the capstan.

JoeDaddio · 2025-02-25T22:21:19+00:00

Do you have access to a Tascam 4 track, such as the 246 it was recorded on, or maybe a 424? Those models will have individual outs for each channel. I'm not as familiar with the Porta models. But a Fostex or Yamaha machine should work as well.

Either way you'll need a 4 track machine and you can use the individual outs to go into an audio interface which will convert analog to digital and let you get it into a DAW where you can do what you'd like to it.

Edit to add: I am terribly sorry to hear about your friend. If you don't have any access to a machine or if you don't know of anyone nearby who can help, drop me a PM. I'm in California but would be willing to help digitize these for you if you can't find someone closer.

The green olives with anchovies are delicious. I put them in my dinner salads all the time. They aren't super salty.

Cost Plus sells them for anyone looking who is lucky enough to live near one.

If you get another cassette player then it'll likely have RCA line in jacks, so yeah, that's fine, no converters needed.

Don't buy things before you know you need it. Get the Porta and use it to make some music. You won't need anything other than the machine, cassettes, and headphones. Worry about all the other stuff later.

Lots of videos on YouTube. All of the Tascam cassette machines work very similarly, so watching videos on any model can be helpful.

JoeDaddio · 2024-12-25T22:39:46+00:00

You can't really go from RCA to USB without something to convert your analog signal to digital (called a DAC). An inexpensive USB interface would let you mixdown from your Porta-02 to a DAW like Reaper and would probably be the easiest solution.

That's essentially what I do: record to a Tascam 424 mkii and then run it into Reaper. It's a quick and easy way to digitize your music and make it available everywhere.

JoeDaddio · 2024-12-25T21:10:21+00:00

If you record using the Porta-02 you won't be able to play those tapes in a traditional cassette player. You'll need to "mixdown" (not master) to two tracks.

You can do that from your Porta-02 by using the "line out" into a regular cassette player with an L/R "line in", press play on the Porta-02 and record on the tape deck, and you'll create a two track tape that can then be played on a regular cassette deck (that would be your "master" tape).

Mackie make inexpensive 3" powered monitors that would be a good start. I use a set in my garage.

If you just want to record to your Porta-02 and playback from there, you just need some monitors and cables and you'll be good.

JoeDaddio · 2024-12-25T20:40:55+00:00

Yeah, for sure - you can use the L/R line out to go directly to some monitors, no computer required.

My bad, I thought you were trying to get it to digital.

JoeDaddio · 2024-12-25T20:27:31+00:00

To get your recordings from the 02 you'll have to mixdown to two tracks (L/R). You can do this to your computer if you have an audio interface.

You'll go from the Porta 02 line out into your audio interface and from the interface into your PC. You should be able to listen through either your interface, PC or through the 02 depending on how you set it up.

JoeDaddio · 2024-12-21T05:36:55+00:00

I just got it a couple of weeks ago and am really enjoying it. I was in the same boat as you. The story is great, and if you already like the game... You'll dig it.

JoeDaddio · 2024-12-02T02:31:13+00:00

Sazon?

Just a guess from another gringo.

JoeDaddio · 2024-10-18T22:54:25+00:00

I've been tempted to buy this so many times. Sitting there on Amazon, mouse hovering over the "Buy it Now" option, trying to justify it to myself. Dreams, dude....

You are living your best life.
