Glad to hear Jackson is home...been in my thoughts and prayers as of late.... Guy hasn't been able to convince his wife on the HT setup yet...gonna give it a little more time since he has literally come down two more times to watch/listen (and maybe partake in a few cold beverages.....I've got a previous "Jack" drinker now hooked on Tom Sims 6 year..) Had a good conversation with my son last night about the Civic....he wants to help work on it but it's not what he really wants....he wants a K5 blazer like the one I sold after getting divorced....guess I never knew that he loved it so much (not that I would have given him a 535hp vehicle at 16)....so we'll get it all fixed up and sell it to fund another K5 build.....can do squarebody Chevys in my sleep...lol

Just checking in. 2 cups down and I can see a cable from where I'm sitting, so I'm on topic. Mornin' to all.

Morning all... Sancho....so glad Jackson is home...my best to you guys... Taking 2nd cup to go.....just got the grandkids and on the bus....time to roll out to the shop....another fun day....I'm sure.... Check in later....wishing all a great day... MKP :-)

Morning Gang 85 projected. good working temp. Maybe another round of prep on the MCMs. Shopping for Amps and processor, time to order up, some Upol. Second cup done, Maybe a nap before i start the day.

Today is my Friday, yea! I'm headed off tomorrow to spend some time with a good friend. Still, I must work today. Well, kind of.

Having the rare third cup. LF playing tennis. Jake in the yard gnawing a large bone. Hump day worker bees. Grits sound good Joe. Had shrimp and grits for lunch on Monday. Cheers Ladies and Gents

You are correct, they are on the way to school as I type and my AZZ is dragging but I am up and even cooked breakfast Bacon flavored grits with scrambled eggs..............YUM YUM (eat your heart out chuck ) Good Morning Folks,

You shut up.

Not Chris Isaak. Joe, go to bed. You'll need to get those boys moving in the right direction in the morning.

Yes; there is a good children's hospital here. My brother is a pediatrician, so we consult him, too. You've heard of "Can't get right"; Jackson is "Can't SHIT right".

And because I know how much you guys love pics.... '91 K5 2WD (conversion), 535hp 383 forged SBC, airbags, 22" Boyd Coddingtons '76 Frame Up Restoration C10, ~700hp stroked 421 SBC, lowered on 20" AR Torque Thrusts (never got to finish this one...was sold during divorce and was stolen from shop)

They would put me in jail for robbing someone, guess all i need to do is call myself a financial institution and robbery becomes legal, I would also have government insured losses like the banks did in 08 (I believe it was 08) Win Win

REALLY? My brother just shows me a piece of junk mail that he got from a place called “LoanMe.” I’ve seen their commercials on TV. They’ll give you a $10,000 loan and charge you 187% interest. 84 monthly payments of over $800 to repay them…whoever was desperate enough to accept this loan just put themselves in a heck of lot worse condition. Talk about preying on a person that is already in trouble. Disgusting. I told him to write them a nice letter telling them if they’ll reduce the interest rate to 100% then he give it further consideration. I also said start the letter, “Dear Loan Shark."

glad your son is home Sancho--that sounds like good news. i hope his condition continues to improve.

That's great to hear.

I cant sleep right at least Chris Isaak is keeping me company

I think it's both. If someone needs help. I would be glad to offer my service.

I think it's both.

Good luck to him, glad he is home.

Kendall, are you taking him to a specialized children's hospital? The difference in care between our local hospitals and TX children's hospital is night and day. Most states have a specialized children's hospital I would think. I'm glad he's home.

It's a Patsy Cline kinda day "Crazy"

Afternoon Gang Up from nap. Waffels/cold coffee Work is done for the day, had to walk out to the mail box. Think ill take the rest of the day off.

NICE..... MKP :-)

It will be kinda like all channel stereo thru some avr's. It should sound OK if everything is time aligned and level adjusted.

Happy Jackson is Home!

If you have it, might as well flaunt it!

It is, I thought I was going blind even with glasses. Every time we have dealt with BB we swore it would never happen again, but after 30 days and 2 hours of driving it worked out, a new 65" 4K TV, I can see again it's a miracle ! Never again with BB, sure hope we don't need the warranty and have to deal with them again.

Watching that new TV compared to the old rear projector will be like getting a new pair of prescription glasses.

I might add that this is NOT a processor. It's simply sending out of phase information to where it belongs via a purely natural method. Dave

This is a concept my friend came up with and his wife made the shirts.

That's great Sancho, I know you are happy to have him home

Oh SOOOO this about me too I have a pathological inability to prevent words like Really? and Seriously? and DUH? and PU-LEZE! from spilling out of my mouth when I hear certain things. And then there's the occasional B@##$4!T that slips out. That one is ALWAYS popular. This affliction has not only kept me out of meetings, I'm pretty sure it's cost me more than one job.

Jackson is home; they reattached his cecostomy tube. They are going to study his bowel further before doing a resection.

My dad lives next door. He is 76 and doing well. I feel very fortunate to have him healthy. I have a lot of respect for you guys that care for your elderly love ones at home under tough circumstances. God bless you!

Discussed it with my fornication source over the weekend and we've decided to go ahead and have the whole car done....some dings dents and such repaired and complete repaint....I'm going to do the majority of the body work with my friend doing the chassis work and spraying the car for me....he thinks I can get it all done for under $1000 Car has super low miles on it and is now running like a top averaging 34mpg.....may make it a father/son project and fix it up for him to take in 2 years when he turns 16

Matt ♪ ♫ ♪, I use the "Multi Channel Stereo" setting on my Marantz pre/pro some of the time. It merely connects the rear and fronts exactly as you have described, plus sends a slightly attenuated mix of L + R to the front Center channel. It sounds better than straight 2 channel unless there are a lot of sharp, tight transients (e.g., timpani). In the latter case, my front Klipschorns are so much cleaner and purer and tighter and more impressive in the bass, that the Heresy II rears degrade the sound a bit. By the way, if you set up a true multichannel system (e.g., 5.1 or 5.0 -- "Multi channel In" on my pre-pro) multichannel SACDs, etc. would sound great. Some make more use of the rear channels than others,

Speaking of glasses...got a new script yesterday and ordered new lens coated with Cristal tor no glare. Titanium frames $$$

That's funny, just got back to reading here a little, been busy. You know how much fun it is to dissemble the complete 2Ch and separate HT setup and move it all out the way for changes. all done with NO music. I forgot how many wires and cables it takes to have it all work, it's crazy. The good part was it was all done to redo the entertainment cabinet "thing" to make it work for a new TV. The old CRT rear projection TV had the cabinet going around the top of the TV, the new TV will sit on top after being redone.......It's all about done and the music is playing again. When it's done I will put before and after pics.

My kids hate it when they ask me if I know what time it is and I say yes.

The chart shows chest thump in the 20 to 40 Hz range when actually it's actually higher. I believe it's around 50-70Hz.

II sense a big promotion coming in the near future for you.

Hey, it's better to be a smartass than a dumbass, right?

Chuckster, I drive my rf7ii's with a NAD c375bee DAC and think it works great. You will not be disappointed in the NAD integrated and you could always add the DAC into the unit. I am still surprised and the power and dynamic range of my setup. Good luck

That would be easy. Cut two HUGE holes in my back wall behind my rear seats. Build a shelf in my son's closet, move his clothes to under his bed and voila! LaScala In-walls.

Should look great when done.

Car update Just got a text from my body shop friend.....over the weekend he told me not to order any parts until he gets a quote from his source for panels... I had found a guy on ebay and he quoted me Hood - $150, Fenders - $45 x 2, Radiator support - $80, Headlight Housings - $60, SHipping - $20...so $400 Friend just text me saying he can get it all at his jobber rates for $300...

And that ladies and gentlemen is how to spot the Office Clown.

no such thing as a NICE SNOWBLOWER, they all s$%k (Agreed easier than a shovel though) I thought they all blew.

I did the same thing for my mothers last 5 years, the hardest part was making sure she didn't feel like a burden, which she would sometimes say, and keeping her occupied and included in everything. She was in a wheelchair because of loss of part of one leg with a broken arm which wouldn't heal because of diabetes, the hardest part was moving her back and forth from chair to everywhere she need to be, like bathroom, bed, sofa and car. She did well and never complained and seemed to like being around everyone and all the grandkids. We did the best we could to make her feel normal, well as normal as my mother could be. I would say overall everything went well.

I know how you feel, ours are Oak and I just oil them, it's really tough to get in and oil everything. It's partly why they have been oiled only twice since I built them and really need to be oiled again but It's no fun so it get's put off. I did get my granddaughter to dust inside them once, she is tiny and done a good job, they really need this again also.
