Thanx, Rotor was done yesterday. I now need to let it sit for a day or three, (Standard Retirement mindset). Also picked up new Gasgets, and a quart of that lovely smelling "RearEnd Lube" 60/90Wt.

Couple years back before i signed up for this Audio Forum, i read the page in front of me. Everyone does. Then you decide if you want to "Join" this audio union. If i would have seen banter of someones Gerbal needing birth control, i would have had second thoughts. WHY i came here was to escape "Norm" of the internet. When i sign in i do try to check my Ego at the door......

Morning gang... Off to the dump with another load of leaves....I suck up so many leaves yesterday that the Billy Goat Vac could not suck up any more....I'm thinking I have two more loads this season. Gary.... the only thing Starbucks I do is drink DD coffee from the mugs I have....lol lol... I tell ya I can't do there coffee..... Chuck.... I'm with you my man, with the BS.... I got no time for it... and I'm still along way from the magic 5000 post's... even in the main forum when a topic starts getting all crazy..... I might read through it but I'll stay away from posting... Mark....get that rotor machined.... if you were not sooooo far away you could swing by the shop... Your truck would not fit in the Honda shop... but I could do the rotor for ya....lol lol Chuck.... fine looking meal you guys had there.....good times for sure... Everyone have a great day..... check-in later... MKP :-)

Cold and a little snowy out here again today. Probably won't get out of the 20's till next week. Enough of my bitchin' though ... this will be a good day to crank up some tunes on the system and maybe play a few myself. Life is good. Mark, I don't 'qualify' for the BS forum and it doesn't look like I'm missing much, so that's ok. No interest in on-line arguments with anyone. I spent 39 years of a very active career in a very contentious field. Audio is a pleasure and hobby for me. Reducing it to egos and disagreeable personalities would take the fun out of it. I avoid that stuff in other areas of this forum like the plague. Have a good weekend, all. Will try to get back later today or tomorrow.

Good morning everyone! I thought I would put up a fresh photo from moments ago.... Broke out the Starbuck tall Christmas mugs for the season, and brewed up the Starbuck's 25 year anniversary roast... Not as 'burnt' in flavor as you'd think ;0)) Rainy day here in the east, blueberry pancakes about to be served, SPA playing on the SXM receiver....This is XM's flagship reciever, owned it for about 4 years now... You can record with this and playback on demand and many other neat features.... Enjoy your morning my friends...

Morning Gang 30, and like yesterday, i feel nothing, numb, agood thing. Wearing standard winter attire, triple layered. Coffee/Duggans coming up. I should take the wife out for a hot tottie or something, she sported a great Turkey Day. I suppose i better treat her to something better than a corn Dog

I've never owned the R-115, but have a lot of experience with the RSW's, so what are you experiencing? If it gets too Picky, you could sell it to me and get rid of the problem. LOL

Good friday evening gang My Black Firday consisted of having to wait in multiple Bars for my Rotor to be turned, followed by getting home and finding NO good movies on, such a TRYING day....Dam. Now im looking at Turkey dinner #3 in two days, three more and i think we have it licked! Black Friday seems Un-eventfull so far, no data breechs, nobody got killed, course the day aint over yet. Cheers

Crap, i was hoping to avoid the devil page...just my luck. for the record, i hate the devil.

i have participated in a couple of discussions...it’s not as fun as the main forum. Besides, i feel like i have to shower afterwards so i don’t catch something. Sincerely, Steve “still trying to fit in somewhere"

How you think we feel, son in law was going back on the towboat so we had Turkey day last Sunday with the whole family before he left, we had company over for Thanksgiving so we cooked again.

Nothing wrong with getting your rotor turned here and there, if I remember correctly it usually did involved a bar. (in the old days anyway)

Nothing like real wood to bring to the fire, lol.

Do you prefer front ported or rear ported speakers?

I love my Klipsch and have loved other speakers I've had. I've never thought of any loudspeakers as---"SEXY" I keep reading where people say their speakers are "sexy"... Really? When I think sexy--I'm not thinking of speakers.

My Clemson Tigers won today, but it was ugly. If we play like that against UNC, we'll lose by 30+.

Just posting, to try and move us off of this page.

It's tough but at least I am not from the great frozen North. Yep you also didn't include the unbelievable scenery where your at, if i am guessing correctly ?

Been warm and sunny all week, 78 now, but it looks like a little rain and cooler temps next week, were going to drop into the 60's, maby even the high 50's, it's going to be rough.

NO!!! I was running 250 wpc amp to a pair of RF-7's (250 watt max cont.). It took out all 4 woofers

i have participated in a couple of discussions...it’s not as fun as the main forum. Besides, i feel like i have to shower afterwards so i don’t catch something. Sincerely, Steve “still trying to fit in somewhere" Look, there are a few guys in there i hated to tagging w/moron, but it is the existance/need of the forum that im addressing.

I'm having sex with my speakers right now.

Good Friday aftyernoon Gang Just back to the house. Napa auto, Pub, Smithwicks, Napa P/U, Pub, Guinness w/chicken Tacos. And to think this is A MAX ENFORCEMENT HOLIDAY, good thing i stick to the side streets. All parts onsite for the completion of the Dodge project, however the "Get-up-and-go" aint happening. Maybe tommarow, maybe. Wife gets her run now, Duggans P/U on the agenda, i like that...... :emotion-46:

Quite the feast there Chuck, Our circumstance did not allow for lots of cooking yesterday it was looked on as more a typical day. But we spent some good quality time together (for me thats worth more than all the hoopla) No Black Friday shopping Christmas is taken care of. Spent the morning cleaning and going through the boys clothes getting rid of all the smalls Need to get them a couple things but overall they look good and set for the year I dont have the mentality to hang out on BS forum much, I know I would go overboard so I will keep my nose out as much as I can. I learned long ago I don't discuss politics and religion everyone has there ingrained opinion and who am I to try and change there minds with my opinions Lunch is ready, Fried spuds smothered in chip beef gravy (left overs) YUM YUM

That's 12 pounds of mashed potatoes....the LF and I peeled for an hour. Turkey was brined and tasty but after too many drinks my carving left a bit to be desired They knew how much I like gravy and made two pictures Prior to the meal we snacked on shrimp cocktail while watching the Panthers play.....and win So after all this bourbon, appetizers, turkey, and desert I eased into a calorie induced coma Now I just coast...... Enough about me.....lets see some pictures Gents. Cheers Ladies and Gents

Are there more you ask?

And a few more....

OK don't hate me but it's 72 degrees here today. LF just left on her bike for the park to hit tennis balls against a backboard. I'm nursing an over indulgence of Maker's Mark as well as food coma. Thanks giving with LF's cousin and a lot of folks from around Pittsburg. Very tasty but no greens or oyster dressing. Pictures you say?

Morning Gang 31 and i do not feel it, i stopped feeling at 40 degrees. 52 in the Cave and tolarable w/foot heater(s). Coffee goes cold faster than i can drink it....dam :emotion-44: Yesterday i installed an old Rotor device for turning the antenna on the Cave array. Works outstanding, swings the WiFi Beam right along with the turning. I see/have over 40 hot spots, as of yet i have NOT further played with the WiFi. Napa Machine shop Visit/Pub fly by. Broke the 8 Rotor Bolts w/ 1/2" breaker bar and a beer. Rotor ready to be turned. I see the wife is up, time for Black Friday Traffic, (3 miles), side streets. Good day mates.

Morning Joe BS Forum started out as precived, first few months were as expected and then some. Main Forum cleaned right up, as of today, one could say, it's loosened up. Loose due to the overwhelming need to vent to/with an audience. The BS forum with only seven plus players gets old really quick, just like a kid's board game, no fresh meat. All the players know each other, politics/religion/abourtion, Just like the Internet at large! If one stands back and views the main forum, looks just like last year, NO Difference. You cannot really blame the BS forum users for participating/interjecting their well honed views, in the main forum, they are just doing what comes natural and what they have done for years. I do'nt know anyone who came here for anything other than Audio. But when a "Newbi" chimes in, the first page they see is, "The" main forum page, and of course they see what we see. and there is the paradox The "senior" forum 5Ks and better, ARE part of the problem. Upon my achiving 5k i was met with BS, that spelled it out for me, "Moron Section" Every chat room on the Net has it's share of Morons, some more than others. The Klipsch Forum, now, No better than any other. I came for Audio, staying for Audio, Anybody else?

With Big 10 match ups and then league championships I'm not sure who is likely in or out. Does MSU now control its fate?

Great coffee, good toys Afternoon Gang Just back in from the Pub/Costco/Pub/Farm birthday run. Turkey dinner #4 is being prepared at this time. 45 degrees with full sun. BM is tasting mighty fine.

You buy things faster than I can type, so I couldn't. Plus I told you not to sell your La Scalas about 4 speaker moves ago and you didn't listen!

I just bought the last 4 pair for $5.60, free shipping. Mark that netted out to $1.40 each Thanks for the heads up Mark

Except for Danley SH-50 and 60 Synergy horns, I'd say you are right.

I believe my Mr Crow has this covered.

Not exactly today, but recent. Super clean Chorus IIs with Crites tweeter via Hpower in the community. 3 ½ hr drive but well worth it. Had a nice hang, and the speakers sound great paired up with my restomodded Fisher amp.

Just off the top of my head: 1. your Horny 2. you want Vodka 3. im glad i live on the left coast

Good morning Gang It's Wends, had to check. Wife came home a little lighter in the wallet also. 66 in the cave heading for a very nice upper 80s. Daily "Up in flames report" we are @19 currently burning. Well the Sax came in and looks to be too heavy for Mr Crow, Clairinet? We missed taco tuesday, but have no fear.

Good Sunday afternoon gang Four mille walk @ the swapmeet was good for a sweat. Currently drinking a BM and painting Mr Crow. Guinness Blond up next, as well as more fumes.....weeee

Morning gang Got up a few hours ago to get some work done in the Cave, 1:30am and it's 81 Workin on Mr Crow and shopping the Bay, fine tuning the electronics package------Again- Sitting back and looking at Crow earlier last night, ya know, i think this guy is ready for paint, all of him. Figured id build from the bottom up after doing a rough assy (seen in earlier pics). Coffee is a flowin/Duggans/Carnation tasting mighty fine Ah Ha, it's THursday, had to check......

Morning Gang Tuesday it is and Taco fixins in stock Mr Crow Fab coming along, kind of re-thinking electronics as assy continues. Realstate agents are looking for a Reno visit this week, have found a few worth looking at. 11am cut off time for the Cave work, hundreds for the next few days

Afternoon Gang Up from nap and dinner is served. Mr Crow base tooling complete last night, bondo sets really well/fast in warm temps. When base is complete it will look like solid Metal, wood easy to work with sand/seal/paint.

Excellent, someone doing some good :emotion-21:

Good "Hot" afternoon gang went in for a short nap and came out to the cave, 95, i will not be here long. 26% humid i like, im finding if i dont move i dont sweat. sitting next to a fan on high. Two trips to the Depot today, im finding it easy to reinvent Mr Crow, of course "My Way". Wife just ask me this morning where i have in mind to place him, told her "right on the coffee table in the living room dear" She just said Great! i like that.

Morning Gang Sat eh? good day to do very little, oh wait i did that yesterday. Misc Amazon ordering, Crow T Robot work till it heats up, 90+ projected. Fourth cup and waiting on Bacon/eggs. :emotion-44: :emotion-44: Ah, got it, time to crank a tune or two.

Iv run more than one of those some years back, most of the time sissors worked for me.

Afternoon gabg Good Nap, now let's see what i can do before it gets 100+. Coffee Run, we are out of some staples here, cannot have that. That means ill need to muster up the energy to shave for the first time in 4 days, well hell it's worth the work i guess. Sometimes this retirement can be hell.

I know, i was just going to let that slide.

Tarheel may have invented the Toaster/Device, looking at the Bes, using MY adapter (and surviving), id say if your little bird was in the same room, you better start looking for a "New" little Bird.
