I'm currently climbing into the "wayback machine" to go have coffee with these fellows.

3 day work week here this week. WOOOO HOOOO!!!! Momma is going out of state and I'm Mr. Mom Thursday and Friday. That'll give me some time to work on my latest sub build as well as knock out a few projects around the house. Looks like this thread took off over the weekend. You guys need to type slower 'cause I can't read that fast.

Ok, let's see how many likes this will get ;0))))

Yes, this would be for us, we are right in the middle of that thing !! No work for us tomorrow , boss hunkering down himself for the day... I will be up, getting some coffee photos for you all, and of course, some live photos of the storm as I see it in my front and back yards ((0: IPad will be fully charged just in case of power outage... I am on lunch right now, have an urge to walk to D&Ds for a dark roast and a sweet snack...... Don't hate me ;0) ....gw

​Here’s your morning greeting folks … had to send it early, since many of you cats are several hours ahead of me -- you’re on your third cup before i’ve had my first. So; drink up, be nice to each other, and have a wonderful day.

Welp up from Nap, ready to start Monday, Humm, almost noon. Got spoiled on not working on anything till the sun comes out, it's out, no excuse now. Hope all you guys in storm ally are fairing well, stay warm, snow is an insulator, id be crankin tunes On to the Boat, indoor Router work/design today, coffee is tasting mighty fine w/Duggans

Jim Hunter Thanks!! Hey, for you North East guys, just get enough food in the house and hunker down for a couple of days. We get blasted like that in Denver metro every couple of years. Folks 20 miles west of us and on the Western slope of Colorado get it every year. The last time we 'got it' I stayed home and took a mini-vacation. Hang in there and let us know how you're doing. Chuck

Mornin' folks. Busy day ahead. Finally got the smoker out from under its cover yesterday and hickory smoked ribs for us and a guest. Winter is not over by a long shot and need to take advantage of warm days. Retired to the HT and watched "The Drop.' Pretty good movie. Fjd ..... love the PWK pic. Who is the other gentleman? Thanks for sharing.

Looks like I get the honor...and many more... :emotion-29: Happy Birthday...52...

nothing like a good glazed doughnut and a fresh hot cup, Alas I am no longer allowed to partake in the doughnut end of the treat I'll have to make due with my home made fruit smoothie (banana, strawberry, blueberry,, orange and pinapple)

Last time we got that much: 1996; although we get enough to be pretty every 3-4 years...

Hey gang, Just caught up on the posts........I think I hit my "like" quota for the day :-( All the pics are cool guys.....keep em coming :-) Well the 1st cup is down, I think me and the wife will take the 2nd cup to go. Got some work at the shop today.......that's good cuz it's been kinda slow :-) Looks like we are going to do OK with the snow here, weather man says we are in the 3"-6" range. We are about 35 miles NE of Baltimore almost at the PA line. Looks like some of you guys up north are going to get pounded. OK then......you guys take care....I'll check in later Mark :-)

Good Monday Morning Gang Recovery day. Been Having fun in the Lab/Cave/shop, throw in a working (Extended) Bender. Electronics, Woodchips, Libations make for a good weekend. First Cup down, when the wife goes to work, ill be making my "Personnel" pot. R&D Boat dash will continue.

300, the movie or the forum page. Thanks! Looking good Joe! Liking the beach and outdoor photos. Could see we have photographers here. Very nice. Been drinking coffee at 2 and later am on weekends, at times. No coffee yet. A big ol hand here waving to you out west,north...GM

For a screw-in barrel, wouldn't that be a little dangerous by changing the head spacing to a possible case rupture? What I've done before is take the ammo I intend on using and tell my gunsmith to match the barrel to it instead of the other way around. Really makes a difference with Eley ammo.

I've found that a "Match" chamber can be sensitive to some ammo. Match chambers do work well with match cartridges. If you go with a match chamber be sure to check that desired ammo works well. Or keep the original barrel for the ammo that does not function in the match chamber. Some barrel manufacturers will recommend a certain cartridge for different barrels. 10-22 is simple to change barrels and stocks. Unless you go with a screw in barrel option for better accuracy!

Deposit received, Pickup scheduled for next weekend. Congrats to cantilope.

Morning gang, I tried to post all day yesterday. But couldn't get service where I was. I had my first bbq contest yesterday. My buddy and teammate made a awesome sausage fatty that placed 5th. We also did chicken, people's choice ribs, and competition ribs. Though we didn't place in any on those, we did beat some local pro competitors. But sometimes you just have a bad run. I need to work on my texture, but there were a lot of 9s for flavor. I don't remember to take pictures, but did manage to get one of the chicken. And for Tigerman.

It has the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 but I have to buy an Audyssey Microphone before I can try it out. Wakejunkie will be getting one of the receivers. It should be a nice upgrade from his Denon AVR791 and he will finally have Preouts so we can begin to look for him a 3ch amp for his front soundstage. I will need to replace some of the batteries in the Monster HTUPS. I'm going to keep the Harmony 900 and sell my Harmony One. Will be nice to have RF capabilities. I bought everything as a Lot so some of the items I don't need will be put up for sale. My wife is leaving today at 2pm to get ready for her Half Marathon tomorrow so I can play to my heart's content. Today is going to be a fun Saturday!

This is just amazing: https://www.youtube.com/embed/svzPm8lT36o?feature=player_detailpag Maynard

We used to get the Marlin 39A's (by the case) with a one power scope. Everybody that used it was deadly accurate with targets on the fly, yes up in the air a flying. No squeezing the trigger, just blasting and never missing under 50 yards. That scope made them awesome. Funny but I still have one but can't find the scope anywhere. Had a very large field of view and as soon as the target was in the scope you fired. No aiming, just fire. JJK

No Like!!! Donuts like those made me fat!!!!

Thanks fellas, I think they have the numbers backwards

Snow: would love to have enough to cover everything up; 1/2 a foot would do.

Good luck finding .22 magnum! I also have a bolt action clip-fed rifle that shoots the .22 magnum, a Mossberg 640KA, model, "The Chuckster." It's a real tack driver, but it's magnum only, no .22 LR. (this is not my photo)

I'm a firearm enthusiast, but "tactical guns" simply don't interest me. I grew up shooting a Ruger 77/22 http://www.ruger.com/products/rotaryMagazine7722/models.html We used it to keep the local possum and raccoon population at bay for years. Its a great gun to teach youngsters with and is more accurate than most semi-autos.

Keith, As stated prior, there is a National shortage on .22 LR ammo! If you are descided on one of the AR look alike rifles, go for it, they do look cool. As for me, if you want a semi auto in .22 LR, the Ruger 10-22 is a cheaper base gun, weighs a lot less, which to me is more important in fun, and target acquisition, and can be made ALOT more accurate than the rifles you are looking at. I own 4 customized 10-22 rifles, if you are serious about putting money down on as accurate a semi auto 10-22 as you can buy, look into coolguysguns.com , Volquartsten used to be the only name in the game when it came to customizing a 10-22 Ruger, as such, their prices reflect a once held strangle hold on the market. Tony Kidd at coolguysguns.com not only sells better products, he also sells them for less. I have used many volquartsen pieces and the only thing they still have the best in my opinion is their bolt. Volquarsten offers a 2 pound trigger, I have owned two of these and sold them. I can get a better trigger job done to a factory metal trigger for $85 on eBay. Also, the new rugers have plastic triggers now. Tony Kidd sells a 2 stage trigger with a 6 ounce pull. Tony also sells complete match .22 LZR with guaranteed 0.5 MOA groups at 50 yards, that is going to be 5 shots with the furthest bullet from the furthest bullet out of 5 shots only 0.25 inches away center to center. If you get serious about accurizing a 10-22 Ruger, feel free to call me a (419)-231-5494 Roger

Here we go.

Japanese Coffee Grinder, with whole beans in the container, and my Melita espresso maker, I also use spring water (deer park) I have to work for a cup My problem is I love the taste / smell of coffee, but I cannot take the caffeine, so finding a GOOD BOLD COFFEE flavor in Decaf is tough Most off the shelf decaf is weak as Pi$$ So I found a botique that does decaf French Roast and I grind 2 Tbsp at a time for a really bold cup o decaf

300, the movie? Haven't seen it. Looks like something out of Breaking Bad. What's going on there?

You force me to break out the camera This is an example of my morning ritual for a cup of coffee My favorite mug / Christmas present, pics of the boys when very young

No, no, no. Electronic devices run on smoke. As long as you keep the smoke in the amp everything will work fine. As soon as there is a leak and some smoke is let out, the amp will quit working. I thought everybody knew that?

Been drinking java with half & half most of the time lately. Just emptied the pot black into a cup, and added a shot of Black Velvet, after we removed and cleaned the hot water supply to the washing machine. Was barely trickling out. Just needed a flushing and cleaning of the screen. Have to celebrate these little victories.

Well...... I just had to share the flip side with you all....... Guess this was all the speakers they made at the time ;0) I'll check in later......

No that particular cutie is LF's niece. She is 22 y/o and in college and the Army. Finished PT first in her group. Goes to school about an hour away. Came to visit to have a quiet place to study. We had a good meal and a fun time. She straightens out our computer problems for us while she is here. We feed her and I'm allowed to carry her popcorn while she studies. LF never had children and neither did I. Use to call people like us DINKS. Been on here too long today. Good night gents.

Tried Craigslist. Nothing. Not surprised. Ebay, interest but no $$. Screw it I'm keeping them.

Hello TOPALOGLOU and welcome to the forum! Also, Hello too you parlophone1 and boomer9911. To make this as simple as possible, Paul Wilbur Klipsch said there is no such thing as High Fidelity. Something either has fidelity or it does not... Does this make sense to you??? Therefore, your speaker wire and interconnects either have fidelity or they do not... Are you with me so far?? You cannot make a system sound better than the signal sent to it, ie; we cannot increase the fidelity of the signal, only deteriorate or add to the signal that which was not there before. Therefore, as long as you are running wire of sufficient gauge for the length needed for the run, we cannot improve upon this signal. High end speaker wires and interconnects often use capacitance in line wich can soften the sound and some may find the difference pleasing to the ear, make no mistake, this change in the signal path is NOT fidelity!!! I own over $4,000 in interconnects of one type from a company and I have the same brand two models cheaper and the cheaper interconnects sound better! I also have silver plated 10 Guage stranded pure copper wire with gold plated spade connectors and it sounds no better on TSCMs, Klipschorns or LaScalas than 14 Gauge stranded pure copper zip cord type wire. Spend your money on music or upgrading something else in your system, patch cords and speaker wires are myths that someone can make a lot of profit off of you by pulling a fast one on you. Roger

Happy Birthday!!

Cheaper than dirt .com is good source for ammo. Hard to believe ammo is so hard to get nowdays.

Make sure you have a supplier for the ammo, around here 22 LR is near impossible to get and when it does show up the limit your purchase to 2 boxes

Well you surely don't have to squeeze the trigger on that baby. JJK

Hello coffee gang..... Just in from taking care of the snow...... So, here is mug #3 this time in a genuine Klipsch product from back in the day... (0:

Thanks Mach. Not a bad winter’s day … a bit windy; but, i love the wind. gets rid of the old and brings in something new.

Dean, I had no idea you were "Flux" I have to confess my wondering. Flux was almost as irritating as FLK. And you know, you have been protesting quite a bit... turning over his posts to the moderator, etc. Maybe FLK is one of those bad personalities, and you just don't know it yet, when he comes out and takes over when Dean is in trouble. In the wee hours when you guys were posting I was working putting my Eico back together. Sometimes I think I must have ADD, but I stayed with that project way too long to have ADD. I guess I can pay attention if I'm interested. BTW, on spiritual gifts, my wife tells me I have a one that Paul left out of his letters in the NT. That is the spiritual gift of irritation... the profound and divinely gifted ability to irritate others without even trying.
