Every year he give us concert tickets to Several Species... there a Pink Floyd tribute band that play Baltimore a few times a year.. I think they might do some other East Coast shows.... To my understanding there just a bunch of regular guys that have full time jobs but do this Pink Floyd thing.... Anyhow they put on a great show...they really connect with the audience.....

LF and I attended the holiday flotilla at Wrightsville Beach......not far from the house. Hosted by friends on their 32' Bertram. A perfect night to be on the water!

Great Sunday Morning Y'all woke to a blood "red sky at morning Sailors take warning" It feels like an eggs and grits kinda day with some coffee I am Off.........................Later

Went to see the Marty Sammon Band at the Harlem Ave Lounge in Chicago tonight. Consumed a bit of Makers Mark and heard some great Blues!

This mornings view as we left SW Louisiana for home.

Morining planned: Wife just said "Lets go to BevMo" ----- oh Chit. My shipment of Single Malts has been in for two weeks (couple highland and a lowland) and im just NOW getting around to sampling them. She wants to buy me a bottle, and by god there are two things in life i do not turn down, free ammo and the other being Single Malt(s). no brainer here. Cheers, on with the day.

hippie and good taste is redundant; but, it was nice of you to say.

Morning yet again gang Breakfast completed and looking at 41 degrees. Could Do/Want/Will, has just gone out the window. Cold, Lazy and looking for a clean shot glass, have now replaced any thoughts of a productive day. It's 11Am so i will have a shot w/guinness chaser and see if my KT88s can warm this place a little..........

A couple of new friends.....the lady next to me from Trinidad, Tobago.

Thanks Mark for helping us move right along and your comment on my morning coffee ;0) Hey, I am over in RTM, noted that the KT-88's (Electro Harmonix) are now showing this cool blue pattern on the glass !!More later Sunday....

Hate for you to drink alone Mark....let me go pour one.

Good, you got it, now i will go back and mark Hydro-pyro as my best anser for a few weeks, makes one feel warm/fuzzy.

Thanks minermark. I must have done that accidentally. Further proof that mittens and keyboards don't mix.

Looking good, keep it up your doing great. Is it just me or is she looking better every time we see her ? You, well your just an old hippie............with good taste

So, are birthday wishes in order? Well let's just say after applying on-line monday morning , my coffee will contain $140 Scotch, and i will be 62. It looks to be a Grand + a month after tax's, that is just fine.

Good Morning yet again Got a call from a Farmer, Drone shopping, budget $5kMax is what i told him. He said DO IT. Should be able to get a really easy learning one for that budget, knowing these guys it will be used on multiple Farms and all weather, iv got to think of every senerio or i'll never live it down. Looks like Bacon & Eggs, cannot go wrong there, bit nippy in these parts.

Good morning- It's a beautiful morning in Southeast Michigan; sunny and 27 with a predicted high of 40. Perfect weather for hanging outdoor Christmas decorations. I've been advised that the day will be devoted to making a stab at cleaning the basement. I hope sufficient progress can be made to permit relaxing in front of the flat screen at 10pm (EST) to watch Spartans vs. Providence in b'ball Now if the Tarheels can upset Clemson next week, the CFP picture will be interesting.

Yes i was walking home from the Del Taco...crossing same street as last time, different intersection. I had the green light and walk sign was in my favor, and i was in the crosswalk. Here comes a car with a driver not paying attention (until the last minute)...car stops about 6 feet from me. The lady waves. Maybe she just wanted a closer look of me?

take ‘em to school Mark.

Hoo-boy single Malt doing just fine.......

A leaf hanging around.......

Afternoon gang Just back in from the BevMo/Pub/Gas run, cracked into Lagavulin and im NOT going anywhere till tommarow Smithwicks was on sale, so that will be the chaser for the evening. Now to adress those tunes........

Got the external lights for xmas going last night then half went out. Replaced a fuse and put the line on a surge protector, works fine for now. Coffee down and off-setting libations begun.

So, are birthday wishes in order? Not related to minermark's imminent status change, but I have two forum related questions. Is anyone able to access page 661; and Who decides what constitutes the "BEST ANSWER" to a thread? It sure looks like it If so Happy Birthday, I would say do something fun but you have that covered normally.

Morning Gang 26 and dam sure feels like it.(if this was Age i am chatting about, no biggie!) First cup W/Duggans tasting fine and cooling fast. 50 in Da-cave and rising w/foot heater(s). Farmer(s) want me to visit, wife and i went out yesterday but they were all at another farm bidding on it. Started up ALL of the dusters (4) now, ran to temp for 10min, sounded great with four running. No dusting between now and March. See if i can talk the wife into a CornDog here in a few Min. Of course that means a 3 mile walk and a C note. Sun is up and 33, lookin good. 25 Hrs and im on the Govt dole, partying on them, for life :emotion-21:

Afternoon yet again gang Burnin up the 666 page wile eating Turkey dinner #4. I have stated many times i do not post on the BS forum, However when a thread is transfered to it, i like to see the ongoings of where it ends up. quite an education. That being said, iv never been one to pass up a momment of good well placed response. So be it, i plan on posting a response in said thread AFTER the holidays. For those that cannot attend, There is only ONE i gun for on this forum, and ya'all know who it is. I may give out someday, but i will NEVER give up. Thad, im coming........... to the ONLY forum/thread you fit well in.

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

Sounds bad dtel. I'm thankful I'm in a place where the highs are low 80's and the lows are low 70's.

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.

Afternoon gang, and a libation influnced one........ For those that may not be in the know, i Run K5 Nathan Air Chimes on the Dodge. These are full locamotive horns to the tune of $3k + and have for four years. Word has spread, i have an email as to a "Blowoff" that is where some three tooth redneck thinks he's got better. He will be local next week as he states, i have a lot of "No Shows" Hey It's pocket change. Iv yet to lose, "c" note, that is the standard, 100' with Db meter.....piece of cake. I told him bring me a gallon of the shine. A Primer:

Perfect

Tarheel, the owner of who started the thread, and can change it any time. That makes sense, but it doesn't explain how threads I started have had posts designated "BEST ANSWER," given the fact that I didn't make the designation. Indeed, I don't know how to do that. When you start a thread, and someone replys, in the lower right hand corner of their reply you can select "Best Anser" And you can deselect it also. I have confirmed this just now by "Deselecting" the best anser in one of my threads. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/148314-scotch-cigars-tunes/page-28#entry1950177

Does someone have links for disconnect and Tor handy, I know I can google them but would just lije to be sure I am going to what is actually being reccomended.

To clarify a point for users of vintage tube type tuners and receivers, oscillator, RF and IF stages do not need realignment when tubes are replaced. Capacitor replacement is another story. Maynard

I know the glow of a Kclass tube when i see one

At full volume, ANY avr will be pumping too much distortion into the speakers.

I wish I could share some of the photos of the progress of the build. So far it's looking amazing! The goal is to have it completed by New Year's. Not sure if "we" are on schedule for that or not but nonetheless...progress is being made!

No, the RP Series is not a replacement for the RF-7's. The RF-83 replaced the original RF-7's and then the RF-83's were replaced by the current RF-7ii. The RF-7ii are still in production and Klipsch has not stated they are being replaced as of yet. I have not heard the RP Series but I would not think they would necessarily be an "Upgrade" to the RF-7's. Dual 8" vs Dual 10" woofers. 1" tweeter vs 1.75" tweeter. 150/600 vs 250/1000 power handling. I believe The RP-280 is closer to an RF-82ii with an Atmos Speaker built into the top.

I run them as small with v1800 as backup, I do not plan on trying thisSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

With match ups and then league championships I'm not sure who is likely in or out. Does MSU now control its fate? If they beat Iowa in Indy they should be in, so yes. If Iowa wins, then the Hawkeyes are definitely in. With Iowa, MSU, OSU & Michigan now in the committee's top ten, it's unlikely a one loss B1G champ is excluded.

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.

Great coffee, good toys

I can do that, i'll just comment about Tiger's toy's, that should eat up the space

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 ?

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)
