Good morning, y'all. Got down to 65 F., this morning, going on 97. Coffee & Chicory, Strawberries, Bananas, Bacon, Watermelon, Orange Juice, Whomp Biscuits with diet Butter, Blackberries & Raspberries...

Good morning from this pumpkin carving!

gotta head to palm springs…want to go; but, don’t feel like getting ready to go. i will because i have reservations. concert reception doesn’t start till 6 and its only a two hour drive…but i keep thinking of all the crap i have to do beforehand…pack some clothes, get gas, haven’t shaved in a couple of weeks so better do that.

All I got was rice crispies with a banana chopped up

Morning Gang First cup of Ground Beans tasting mighty fine. Nothing planned, Swapmeet/Corndog possible, last time there i ask just for the hell of it how much for a Corona? $4.50, and the same for ANY Beer, no wonder iv never seen anyone walking around W/Beer! Some touch up Upol yesterday@ sundown, at this point iv used 1 Gal, one "Kit", that is $114 for one stack of MCMs. Worth it as far as looks, Brand new. More Coffee time....

Stew, quit yer bi tchin, standard OC lifestyle, you have delt with for years, keep your chin up wile driving through GangLand (Riverside), one thing you can count on with an OC lifestyle, it get's worse by the year, and if you do not have enough Drama in your life, Fret not, someone is ALLWAYS handy and can/will instill theirs upon you, and of course hold you responsable for their Drama......it's amazing i escaped alive.

Mornin' guys ... was off yesterday and still catching up. Great weather here ... sunny with temps in 70s and 80s. Heading down to Colorado Springs today for a wedding at the Air Force Academy. Have driven by it hundreds of times but never went inside. Should be interesting. May go down a bit early for a trip to a great coffee shop in Manitou Springs (next to Pike's Peak). JEF ... great story about your dad. Thanks for sharing it. Cheers to all.

Hmmm.....pumpkin spice latte sounds good.

Figured I'd start a little early this year. This is about half done. We do the yard up every year, then after kids are done trick or treating, we give out candy and scare the kids and parents ourselves. We were all zombies the last 2 years so we fit right in with the decorations. I'm trying to finish a handmade old 1800's style pine casket so I can lay in it this year.

hoping the shipping company is as gentle as a neurosurgeon....

My first concert, Hendrix. I think I was 15, parents had to drive me and friends to the show. Municipal Auditorium in KC, '68 or '69 I'd guesss. Tickets were $5.

I normally hate garage sales but yours sounded fun. Glad it went well.

Afternoon gang.... Just got caught up on the posts..... The yard sale today was a hit..... It was alot of fun... Got home from the shop early yesterday and set up all the goodies on the lawn... I was out there till 9:00 last night. Covered it all up with tarps. I was outside at 7:30 this morning, I set up the EV's and my little Crown for some tunes. By 8:00 the wife got my coffee to me and the 1st customer rolled up.... what's the 1st thing he goes for.......He starts walking past the things for sale to my EV's and was saying "oh how much for the EV's" .... lol lol.... I quickly tell him there not for sale and point him to the all the tables of goodies. Well like most yard sales... one or two might stop in.... then no one for some time.... then a wave of people stop in... then the wheeling and dealing will start..... By 12:30 or so I was really happy with what I sold... but I was still looking at all the stuff I would have to take back in to the garage..... Then two guys pulled up in an old Camry and some other guy in a F-150... These guys started checking out all the stuff and there was still alot of good stuff. For the next two hours we were wheeling and dealing. They loved the music... they were buying alot of stuff. So we were kinda wrapping things up.... and I looked at the tables of things I still had..... I said to the one guy..... Lets make a deal so I don't have to take this stuff back in.... He said I don't have any more room in the car... I said that's ok.... Lets come to a good number and I will tarp the stuff back over and you can get it later... He spoke with his buddy and the deal was done.... OH YEA.... Now, we did the deal.. he gave me the money and we shook hands.... then a few more people stopped in and they were looking at the stuff..... I looked at the guy that i just made the deal with and said.... "hey man it's your stuff sell it"... lol lol.... yea we were all laughing it was quite funny... This was a "Mans" yard sale..... tools upon tools upon tools and cool stuff ..... Two years ago I purchased the contents of a garage. This yard sale was the "left over" "left over" stuff. For the last two years Iv'e had four yard sales with this stuff. Iv'e also done a bunch of E-bay and CL... So today was the end of the stuff... Well I do have some more stuff over the lady's house I still have to get.... Like a 9" South Bend lathe that's still there and some other bigger items. She also wants me to buy the contents of the other garage she has.... we'll see.. OK.....well with pocket full of money I have.... I think me and the wife will get a nice steak dinner..... she did alot of work (NOT).. well she did the DJ part of the music today.... Yea was really a fun fun day doing the yard sale.... Wishing all a great weekend... MKP :-)

Afternoon Gang Up from Nap, hot outside 90+, no MCM work till this evening. Belgain Waffles sound pretty dam good, then a Nap. Im so done with this heat, 80 tops, any higher, im veggin inside.

My smart phone.... Hard to take anywhere, won't text good, and selfies.....forget it But you want to talk some time then ring me up

uhhh no lol not a junk collector

Last "smart" phone I remember was wired to the wall. There was no such thing as "dropped" call and if you were cut off you worried that either something horrible had happened to the person you were talking to or WWIII had broken out. Few will comprehend what I just said. Most of us are dead or getting that way. Just wish I could occasionally finish a call without suddenly realizing I am talking to myself. Dave

What? No photos?! Then it didn't happen.

Never saw Hendrix, I wasn't cool enough before I was 15. But me and my wife, not at the time did go see Three Dog Night in the Cotton Bowl. It was the first time my to be wife smelled pot, she got quezzy and needed to go home. Oh to be young.

WOW!!!!!!! awesome for you!!!!! I was born in 62 I asked my parents if I could see Jimi they laughed at me :D :D There are a current artists that are aging....Iv'e never seen these guys but will in January "Black Sabbath with Ozzie" My point is, if you can go to a show "does'nt matter who" GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had saved all the ticket stubs from all the concerts I've been to "With the exception of " Mannheim Steamroller LOL I wish I would've saved my stubs also. I had my bedroom door, front and back covered in stubs. I had a friend that owned a Karma record store and tickets were easy to get.

Well, it will be meaningless to you or anyone here, but for whatever reason I distinctly remember the first time I heard "The Letter" driving on the perimeter road of the Southern State College campus in Magnolia, AR. No way to figure why one remembers certain things. Also have a distinct similar weird memory of hearing "Eleanor Rigby" driving on 20th street in Texarkana in the rain in my mother's 1961 Chevy. That one is slight more understandable in that I was fascinated that the wipers were precisely in time with the music. Dave

I was lucky enough to see Hendrix as a kid in the UK, he played the Civic Hall in Grays, Essex on February 14th 1967. My sister has Hendrix, Mitchell and Reddings autograph signed together and also a machine head off of the guitar he smashed and also set alight. It was a night to remember as a 16 year old.

I might be a welder too. Does J-B Weld count? works on anything.

sonyour vote is clearly to splurge. This will be my first saw purchase. And my one and only saw for now. My dad has any others saws I would need and can borrow from him but I hate borrowing all the time. Need some of my own things.

http://www.audioquest.com/star-quad-speaker-cables/type-2 +++ I use the Monoprice 12g, good stuff. Don't use their banana plugs, they have screw-in tips which constantly come loose. These Knukonceptz.com cables have been highly recommended by others as good wires, decent price. http://www.knukonceptz.com/home-theater/speaker-wire/karma-ss-speaker-kable/ http://www.knukonceptz.com/home-theater/speaker-wire/kl3-kable/ Knukonceptz are my guys, you go with them one time and you are spoiled for life.

Good story thanks for sharing. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Thank you JL They are truly wonderful people. I was blessed with both. He has raised me since I was 3...and have never thought of him as anything but my father (my real father passed when I was very young). If you are familiar with Brad Paisleys song Man He Didn't Have To Be....I've always felt that it was written about him...truly an amazing Husband, Father and Best Friend. And honestly one of the most talented people I've ever know....I feel like there is nothing he cannot do/make/build/fix/teach....I am the man I am today because of him. And my wife Susan...Pioneer Woman is all that comes to mind....we grew up together from the age of 5...dated on and off through Jr/Sr High School. Both got divorced around the same time and both moved back to our hometown where we ran back into each other...and this is where we find ourselves now 6 years later.

Track saws are great and i have nothing against them, i just learned things the old school way and feel comfortable with it so most of my work is done that way. If i had the room for a panel saw it would be a great option but there is just no way to fit it in my garage/shop as good ones are huge. If the track saw works best for you then by all means use it. Different strokes for different folks.

You can tell so much about a person through photography I believe. Looks like two fine folks right there.

Killin the last of the pot of the Breakfast Blend. Wife states, Bacon/Eggs coming up, suppose i should wait on Nap. Plan of Day: have no reason to put shoes on......

Not of her welding.....but her and dad taking a quick break last night

What is her type of choice: mig, tig, stick or acetylene? So far Mig with Argon and Stick with Lincoln 7018 H8 sticks dad is gonna let her get used to the wirefeed Mig before teaching her how to Tig Ahh, good old 7018, my personal Fav is 6011, once she gets into that wire feed you know what's going to happen, she will say the hell with those Sticks! HA! Already has!! Text I got earlier "Ran out of sticks....finishing rest with wirefeed....YAY!! Sooooooo much easier!!" Pics of her welding please!

Yeah....think my dad has a new hero....he called me this morning just going on and on about how much she has helped him out this week pretty damn proud of her

Morning Gang Looking around the backyard, touchy/feely, Upol has worked well. Will just let the McMs set for a day, good day in the heat will offgas the finish. Day of rest, as well as the weekend. 80s low 90 i like just fine. Next week we get a neighborhood trash P/U where you can stack anything you wish in the gutter and the county cleans it up. Wife and i will attack the entire front yard, gutting flowerbed(s), and basicly stripping out everything dead. Out of Guinness Blond, HaggenDaz, Duggans and energy, well my Friday is starting off just Peachy.

Morning All Wife is addicted to welding...and pretty damn good at it. Days are numbered....tonight and tomorrow will be a blur. Should be a great time and turnout for my parents. Short day today....at least my "corporate day"

Good Morning All. Friday has arrived and I have 9 hours before the weekend. I have a buddy coming in from Houston. He is brining his Tascam DA-3000 digital recorder. We are going to record all my master reel to reel tapes to DSD files.

Because they only make 55 and 75 inch tracks. Two 55 inch tracks are too short. It only gives you 7" of overhang on each end and that's not enough. Totaly agree, overhang is a must! nothing like doing a 7' cut and finishing freehand, that would be BS. We have ALL used devices like this sometime in our past, A 2X4 and a couple clamps, there is our straight edge. Some guy who thought of this is sitting in Cabo saying FK the world, i did good. Festool W/Vac, buy it once, do it right. CeC is the most EXPERIENCED user of Festool iv seen to date.

Welcome to the World of imported (China) Amps. Iv been running Imported Amps for well over 20+ years. Chinese do NOT design Amps, they copy what is known to be good quality, and popular seller, they play with design/looks howevr if one took the time to trace circuit(s), you would find Patents of the exact design. Primeamp is my guy on the Bay, looking at this slection of amps offered by this company, i would say look into Primeamp and get twice the Amp for half the money. Shipping is the real killer, but deals can be had with a good search.

Looks great! Keep up the good work.

I am going to Seattle in a couple weeks to visit my daughter and the EMP (museum) has a Jimi Hendrix exhibit/ show that we are going to. Heard it is bucket list material. I will get to check that one off.

I use 6011 at work but really prefer 6010 because it has even more BITE.

Morning gang, nothing like a power sandwich for breakfast. Turkey sausage, fried egg white, spinach, colby jack cheese on multi grain bread. Coffee is good, a little to good, days like this I wish I could call the boss and tell him I am not coming in. Unfortunately I have to run, catch you guys later.

it's a little rough at first but overall kind of smooth, much better than Brasso.

No way, couldn't possibly be the problem at least you didn't like it

Thank you.

This may explain some things

Bondo, mmmmm, love that smell. Don't know why or think that it's particularly normal. Maybe it just conjures up memories of building subwoofers. I was thinking bowling pro shops.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
