Out of context, this is mildly disturbing.

Getting new dates lined up. Friday afternoon I'm driving to Little River, SC (Redneck Rivera) to meet a retired flight attendant at a little place on the water. A one hour drive but I want to explore a little anyway. She drives a Volvo like mine and she mentioned the seats roll back! Friday morning coffee at Wrightsville Beach (3 miles away) with a very persistent lady. I have already mentioned I don't think we are a match and she wants to change my mind. She is 5'2" and you guys know I like tall and slender. Next Tuesday lunch with a free spirited 52 year old. We will be okay as long as she doesn't do the math. Lunch today with three male school chums and dinner tonight with seven old guys. Cheers Gents

Morning The wife's friday and im sure she is looking forward to her outing. On the second cup w/Duggans. Ebay has been some interesting news as of late, it seems if your a seller, people now have 6Mo, to either like and keep your product, or one morning you could wake up to a whole bunch of return demands, six month return policy? who the Fk does that ? So after today, no more selling on the Bay for this boy, their Fee's are BS anyway. UPS and the Fedex have doubled their rates in the last two years, so if Ebay does not rip you off enough, the shipping will. Greed is scre-w-ing the american way of life.

I add a horseradish flavored pickle as a top of glass garnish myself.

On with the day

Sounds good to me, I haven't had one in a good while. I can't help but like them I love tomato juice or V8 and spicy things.

OK.... That's it.... BLOODY MARY's this weekend..... with plenty of spice...

while not a bloody mary, i put a considerable amount of tabasco with a splash of lemon in my V8 juice--it’s just a wonderful combination of flavors.

When an infection does occur in humans, the virus can be spread in several ways to others. Ebola is spread through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with blood or body fluids (including but not limited to urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen) of a person who is sick with Ebola objects (like needles and syringes) that have been contaminated with the virus infected animals Ebola is not spread through the air or by water, or in general, food. However, in Africa, Ebola may be spread as a result of handling bushmeat (wild animals hunted for food) and contact with infected bats. http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission/

I'll give it a shot.....

Going to go out and just say it, what a clown......... All of that and not even room for another person to sit, not one friend of partner who may want to share ? Wires lifted by wooden blocks, your own wires are no good touching the carpet George ? A turntable that looks like something broken off the mars shuttle and a Lp that's warped and moving up and down. And be sure to hold the dog for the video and close your eyes and think how impressed you are. SORRY I feel better now, this is what I get for reading those stupid websites with reviewers pushing BS "improvements" like $40 receptacles and special cover plates, oil rubbed rosewood wire lifters, if your setup is to the point that this is your last improvement, congratulations, but I need to stay away from this level of silliness. Anyway he obviously needs more lifters there sagging to much in between, it will create lulls in the signal, only makes sense really, you would think George would know that ? Edit............thought someone would have shot me in the back side for this by now........

how about saying "In a land where a cold BM is just as good as a burning hot one." Where would that be ... Cleveland?

My wife hates when I get ideas about different things to eat or drink if it requires a special trip to the store. She says I never stop thinking about food, among other things, she's right. I alternate most of my daily ideas with taking a nap. It does slow you down, but you feel rested most of the day.

I like hot, but not the crazy hot some peppers have where you break out in a sweat and think your going to die. Gas welding, Ok, when I think torch I think back to my shipfitter days of cutting torch, back then mig and tig welding was all new and just getting started and torches were used for brazing or preheating. Florida, ok I didn't know that. Your doing better than me, it takes me two hands to have all the typos.

Were leaving to go on a cruise soon, we are thinking about getting what they call the Cheers program. What it consist of is one set price per person for 7 days and it allows up to 15 drinks per day, any drink under the price of $10 is included, which is way more than 90% of the drinks they sell. The main reason for this is they have a large menu and it would be a great way to try many different things without paying 6-8$ per drink they normally charge. It also includes all Tequila and rum shots which would be really good to try different brands without buying bottle of the stuff just to try each of the better brands. It also includes unlimited non alcoholic frozen or regular drinks. It's sounding pretty good as a way to find some new drinks, and save considering the break even point for cost is 5-6 drinks a day, the plan also includes the tips and taxes.

Out of context, this is mildly disturbing. Ha I had to read it twice, I must have thought the same thing. Billybob your right they don't have to be as hot as a welding torch to be good, but just a touch of Tabasco is probably not enough for me. I don't want blisters but a nice burning feeling is good. Not crazy about tabasco anyway, I like other brands more. Anyway I don't know what a welding torch is, must be something new ? Billy if you get a chance (and don't mind) put your state up by your avatar, or if you don't want people to know, just say north east or wherever you are, It's up to you it's not required just helpful sometimes, just ignore if your in the witness relocation program

I go with the classic style when making bloody Mary's, I go with either Sacramento or Campbell's tomato juice. In a pint glass squeeze a lemon wedge, drop in. a fistful of ice cubes A healthy dose of Worchestershire, Lea & Perrins is best Tabasco to taste fresh cracked pepper and salt, don't be shy a healthy spoonful of horseradish free pour your vodka of choice. (personally I use Luksusowa Polish vodka, using high end vodka in a drink with tabasco is a waste) Top off with Tomato juice. I pour my Bloody's back & forth 3 times between my glass and a larger vessel. Works for me. Celery stalk is optional.

THE PEER PRESSURE!!! Be sure you put a dash of Worchestershire sauce in it also. I like to use celery salt instead of regular salt too.

If it had been available at reasonable production cost, we would have been digital kids. In 1980, I designed a main board for a revolutionary 10 Megabyte 5 1/4" hard drive with built-in digital tape backup (Irwin), which was 4 times the capacity of a "state of the art" 2.5 Megabyte Seagate at the time. It's OEM cost was $2,500 to be sold to Olivetti in Europe for word processing (text only, no graphics). By 1986, the cost of RAM had dropped to $1,000/Megabyte after being almost that for 256 kilobytes for years. Now it's about $10/Gigabyte, which is 1,000 Megabytes. So the price of storage has come down 100,000 times cheaper in about 30 years, which is 1 cent per Megabyte and about 1/3 of a penny on a 3 Terabye Hard drive. A writeable CD is now 25 cents, vs. $20 when it first became available. We just keep chewing it up with more and more data, as represented by 4K HDTV video, which is an amazing 9 megapixels at 30 X per second, and a 50 Gigabyte Blue Ray Disc is too small for storing it. So it's the cost of storage and computing horsepower on silicon that has made all things digital possible. You can copy forward all digital data to a different storage device without any losses. Try that with our analog stuff and build up some more noise why don't we.

You bought a Classic ?

I guess Ebola is climbing the charts as a threat to us today. Neither but can't tell you.

There is interest... but not at fifty two hundred.

Yep, that's why you need to keep some generic vodka around. Save the good stuff for the martinis

not sure if it goes well with coffee; but, if any of you drinkers try it (i was forcibly retired) let me know if it’s “killer."

Not an audio magazine, but of great significance to me many years ago.... A guy could learn a lot by going through these pages....

Oh, but it most certainly does. When you compress dynamic range, there is little to no difference between loud and soft passages. So everything "seems" loud. Look no further than the Red Hot Chili Peppers "Californication" for a vivid example. Shakey

Speaking of which, my first 2 Trinidad Scorpions have finally started turning color. I've got a bunch of green ones but these are the first two that have started to turn and ripen.

My wife is an RN and I'll be starting an RN program within the next year or so. Facts are crucial in the healthcare realm.

just glad some can handle the hot. gas welding. good constitution. will do...big bent of florida one hand typos.

I thought we all knew billybob was in witness protection! So sorry dtel that I didn't mention that. His phone number is 408 972-3569 but just share it with forum members please.....cause it's all hush hush you know. I didn't know, I won't give out the phone number. I was just thinking about you Tarheal, when I went back to read something and noticed you were the one who started this thread 166 pages ago.

it's the db's at a given range that is more important.

I use Worchestershire sauce in mine also....

This is why I cashed in an old life insurance policy and bought a Sony CD player in early 1983 as soon as they became available. I immediately stopped buying LP's. When I compared Donald Fagen's "The Nightly" (one of the early adopters of digital studio recordings) on LP vs. the CD, it was night and day. No ticks, no pops, nothing to spoil the illusion. BTW, it remains, to this day, as one of my reference recordings. It has withstood the test of time.

Best of all... It's nice to have some games to look forward to....

waay to pretty for college, I was gonna suggest some LSI's. .. Get some plexiglass tops made for them pronto!

still listening. Some Mighty Fine music in this post.

Stay thirsty, my friend....

I have no idea but I wanna be at that party.

Don't know where I read this. Maybe even on this forum. A Burglar broke into a house and was in the process of gathering things when he heard a voice, "Jesus is watching you." He continued to gather things and he heard "Jesus knows what you're doing". He turned on his flash light and looked around the room. He seen a bird on a perch and asked, "Who are you?" The bird replied "Moses." ​Burglar said "who would name a bird Moses?" Bird said, "the same people who would name their rottweiler Jesus." I like a prerecorded sound of a pump shot gun being racked. Tends to get everyones attention right away!

Having worked in the health care industry the new and non treatable diseases are some of the most scary things. My nephew has cancer, and getting chemo. He got sick and had to go the the hospital for 3 days. While there he developed MRSA which is one of risks of going to the hospital. To many of the diseases have developed resistance to the treatments we have to fight them. I have fears that if mankind does not destroy itself, the microbes and viruses will.

How's about the real thing? (Apollo 11) I was there in 1969. Dad had a cheapo cassette recorder and played "TV Newsman" during the trip. Turned the recorder on and have the blastoff of Apollo 11. Couple years ago, he contacted me saying he found the old tape and did I want it (duh) I sent it off to a guy who does restorations and now have it on a CD and (if I recall) a WAV file on my hard drive. To tell you the truth, given the recorder that was used, it still sounds pretty damn impressive!!!

Thanks a lot for the link Chris. Very useful. Took me some time to absorb all the info.

There are just certain things that requre a little hot sauce for sure.

All primed and painted and ready to install. That will happen tomorrow...
