  2. I want something like 3000+ "Likes". I want the most on the forum. I can't seem to "Like" myself. Can some of you give me multiple "Likes".

  3. When it comes to coffee, I happen to be very fortunate that I work for a company that supplies coffee to many office buildings and office coffee distributors around the country. "Occasionally" I get to purchase damaged or "short coded" higher quality coffee(Peet's, Starbucks, Seattle's Best, etc.) for pennies on the dollar and my wife is in a constant state of pleasure when it is rightly available in our kitchen pantry. I have purchased coffee from the supermarket at retail prices only a handful of times in the last 13 or so years. With all that said, I am enjoying a robust cup of "fresh roasted to order" Peet's Major Dickason's Blend as I sit here wasting my time on some forum. Bill

  4. Been up since 3am PST, that's what i get for Napping any dam time i want. Half the pot w/Duggans so far. New 32" LED Cave Display came in yesterday, went with an "OffBrand" this time around, "Spector", Imported like everything is. My requirements were simple, or so i thought, find a Lab/cave monitor that was first a Full HD Tv, then every dam input/output known to man. Yeah, two months on/off looking everywhere, but iv always looked at the top of the line stuff, started seeing the higher in price, the less inputs/outputs. This one will be smack dab in front of me for "Game Times" when not running Live Spectrum flow data from antenna feeds(Hobby). Time for more coffee

  5. Morning gang: Wife came back from Reno as planned last night, scoped some interesting areas to look at living in. Finely sold my Haffler Amp to a local gent who upon walking into the Cave, first thing he ask was not about the Amp he was buying, he just said looking at the Stacks, lets hear them. ok. He left with a memory or two. Cooler weather, 90s tops, flyin bugs everywhere, of course Infrared CCTV cams seems to bring them in.

  6. Yesterday wasn't bad my friends. Went down to the "Redneck Rivera" (Little River, SC) and met a match date who kissed me on the lips upon arrival and it got better from there. A rustic and quaint area where the locals seem more relaxed and ready to have a good time. A little rough around the edges and the motorcycle gang was a little over the hill to be intimidating. Did some bar hopping and even danced a little. Lost a flip flop on the dance floor but was able to unsnap her bra to make up for it. She was cute, wild, and fun and had a nice email waiting for me when I got home. The only negative was the she crab soup I had heard about was not note worthy. Cheers Gents

  12. A hole whopping 38 degrees. First half of pot of coffee down, now at sons flag football game. I'm thinking another half of pot before my daughter's soccer game. Then more coffee and a pig roast with lots of booze.

  13. Folgers works well around here, so this peets stuff taste wise better than Folgers?, i see it at the market, just never really gave the designer brands a second thought. I have been "spoiled" with my "designer" brands accessibility so Folgers, Maxwell House, etc. are not even on the radar any more. As mentioned, I can get the "better" coffee at my work for cheaper than the cheap coffee at the grocery store. To me, it is like comparing a good craft beer to the likes of Bud Lite or Miller Lite, no comparison. Bill

  15. Good exercise dancing, Just show bikers your tattoo on your knees. 49 degrees here overnight they say by the weekend close. Bugs are bad but, this will help. Work this weekend but got a surprise rise this week from work. Birthday coming up and told a co-worker there. Mentioned possible retirement. :emotion-44: Hate to tell them, it will take more $$$ to keep this stud in their stables...

  17. Or you could be like wakejunkie and pick up a pair of Heresy II for $25 at a wealthy community yard sale (happened a few weeks ago). It was funny cause he called and woke me up early one Saturday morning and said kind of softly, "Hey bro, sorry to wake you......how much are Heresy's worth?" I said usually you see them listed for $250 - $300". He said, "Good cause I just bought a pair for $25.00".

  22. Sounds like your system is coming right along, last year i helped a local bud do up his living room, after him "Discussing" this with his wife she finely said do it. He ask for my help on the speaker end, after some research and a few listen sessions around town , Jamo's celing mount stood out. Turns out Vox bought them, just like Klipsch. Dont know what you plan on stickin in the celing but that is my two cents.

  23. Some of the newer CD's are too bright and compressed, particularly in rock I've noticed. I have CD's purchased back in the 80's that sound better than the newer ones. My son recently bought a new Yes Album CD, remastered, and it doesn't sound as good as the one I bought 25 years ago. It is sad what they have done to the format, no wonder vinyl is making a comeback. SACD's sound great but are a bit expensive.

  26. Interesting psychological aspect to all of this. The two most "liked" posts overall on the forum. One was from "tears of joy" (by our much beloved Amy, Queen Emeritus) and it seems that "tears of sorrow/whining" will also get a lot of attention too. I know that it seems that sexy women or women in costume rarely gets the crowd going anymore.

  28. Welcome to the world of a auto tech. I just dropped $3700 hundred bucks on my new scanner, and a tool to do "tpms". I have been working on Honda's since 1986 so my shop does mainly Honda/Acura. I was looking at the OEM Honda scanner but that would of cost me over 4k plus I would need to buy a laptop that was about 2k. If I was to go that route it would only work on the Honda/Acura line of cars. My shop also does other makes but mainly the asian imports. No European cars allowed in my shop. I think the OEM's have come along way since 1997 when OBII came into the scene. Most pro-level scanners will allow to run tests, get into all the modules( ABS, SRS, ect, ect) My new scanner does all this and it will allow me to get on the internet, get onto this forum and write this....oh yea..... :-)

  30. Let me see if i got this right: You have been a member here for FOURTEEN YEARS! You have ZERO friends. You have Zero pictures in your gallery. You have got (as of today) 10 "Likes". You are indeed the most senior member iv ever seen. So ill give you a few "Likes", but watch what you ask for, iv only been here for 10 months, passed on a few good deals to forum members, and look what they did to me! Cheers

  31. Mode has ANC and Status doesn't. Status also has nicer clamp force and FAR better acoustics. ANC makes making stuff sound right very difficult.

  35. The codes are only a piece of the puzzle. It's the data logging, both memory and in real time, that are useful at getting to root cause. Codes are just general information on where the problem may lie, data can often help but most would not know what they were looking at anyways. I spent 2-3 months out of the year in GM training school just to keep up with yearly changes. Think the backyard mechanic could get by with limited or no training ? I think not. Watching sensor data in real time shows what the engine and emission systems are doing. It can help in some situations. The ECM processing hardware alone (sensors, harnessing, ECMs, etc) add about $3K to the cost of a vehicle. Not to mention most of these parts are OEM only. I'd like to have access to it since I paid for it. You pay for the vehicle but manufactures do not want weekend mechanics working on their own vehicles. I don't make the rules but i agree more harm than good can be done by a uneducated tinkerer.

  37. Didn't know what RHIB's were, had to go look didn't know they were called that. OK I'm from the South never realized they used ice breakers in the great lakes, there is some videos of them breaking ice making paths for cargo ships, and it was so cold you could only go outside for like 10 minutes at a time.

  38. I think I bought my RW-12 brand new from newegg for $249. That sub sucked especially when you consider the $999 MSRP. I loved my little RSW-10 though.

  41. LOL. I think that you are ok. Check the UFW - Uncomplicated firewall. It is in the link that I had sent to you on Linux setup. just make sure it is working, it blocks everything. Use the "SUDO" in the teminal to set this stuff. it is easy. To make changes in Linux you must put in a password to gain privileges. All of your software should come from the repository, which has been vetted, ie. no viruses. When you update or add any program, all of the linux programs use the same library instead of multiple duplicate libraries like the fat bloated OS out of Seattel uses. Th elibraries are from the repository and shoudl be clean. I have been using Linux for a few years now and no viruses (and the computer is as fast as the day that I installed Linux). If you are worried about spreading viruses to MS users, your email service should have virus protection that catches those items. Chech out your office suite. You can set it to automatically save everything in word format if you exchnage a lot of docs. There are soem good games in the repositoty too. I found that my usb dac worked when plugged into linux and there are good audio players included. Just go to the software manager and download what you like or need.

  42. Sure, any time. Where in WV are they? Wow...I cannot think of the towns. 1 town is very small and the other has grocery and banks and all...They both live about an hour from each other. The grandmother is about 45 minutes from pittsburg and kind of close to wv...when going there you drive through wv for about 15 minutes The grandmother is in Wheeling. Sheesh. and the other is in the hills a bit tucked away although just outside of a town. "In the hills tucked away," gee, that narrows it down. I'm going to guess just outside Sistersville, probably Middlebourne. If you'll send me their number, I'll be happy to call them for you, so you know where they live. Double sheesh. :rolleyes: Mustang Guy lives about another 45 minutes away from Sistersville. Just follow the Ohio River south from the second relative and you'll run right into him, as his business is also near a stoplight. At least you didn't say your grandmother was from West Virginia, and lives in Roanoke. Her grandma is directly on a 2 lane main road running through a town with a brown in color ice cream shop only on the south side(very easy to find). Her grandpa is tucked away in the hills. I did find it the first time we went somehow. Now im learning how to get there every time is a bit different...you go past an old covered red bridge then go about 2 miles east of the town then curve off to the left...When her dad goes the granpas(his own dad/son) new wife drives down and helps them in...I don't feel so bad if his own high rank military 50yr old son(my soon to be father in law) cant find it lol I do like it around there though...There is no law. And everybody iv met around them both all have good values. They both have friends that help them out so im not super eager to get around there too frequent at the moment. Her grandpa has a really neat pond we atv down to for my fiancé to fish. He truly created this balboa road then built his home and sold land on the end where another big house sits that another guy built...I did have a gps take me there once and we literally stumbled on it, I have no idea how. Her grandma had remarried a Carrol and they live/d and she still lives in the southwest corner of Pennsylvania...The grandpa is WV and its a zip that just changed and some new zoning quadrants of some sort were issued... I take 70 out of Columbus Ohio east toward wheeling and neither are in wheeling...My own grandfolks use to frequent wheeling wv every fall for the dogwood then on to atlantic city. I know my way around there somewhat but gotta get the notes out of her car and i'll let yall know right where they are sometime soon. From fort wayne I can get to either one in right at 6 hours if theres no roadwork or night driving...we hit a deer in the dark near the grandpas in the dark and it wasn't my first...hundreds just standing in roads there...the most iv ever seen by far. And all the construction and fracking crap can make the trip long...Anyhow Cheers all!
