Thanks all. Just made a run to the grocery and liquor stores. Guess which bill was higher??? There should be 10 or 12 here for lunch. I made a big pot of sauce and meatballs last night, Throw in some spaghetti, salad and a couple bottles of chianti and we have lunch. We'll have the rehearsal tonight followed by the rehearsal $$dinner$$ where I get to buy dinner for 40 or 50 of my closest friends . The high light of the day will probably be the card game after that. Good times my friends, good times indeed.

Hey Mark ...sorry to hear about your daughter's accident. It's always tough when your kid gets hurt, no matter how old they are. I know you'll take good care of her.

Morning gang...... Yup...it's Friday.....just another day..... Tomorrow I'm taking my old old Sony cd player to this audio repair shop....this is the 2nd time in 20+ years I needed it worked on. This unt cost me almost $900 back in the early 90's... it's the ES-801...it has the all aluminum plater and the wood sides. This thing weighs almost 20 lbs....it's a solid old unit. I hope my man can fix?? As these units get older parts become a issue... I know I could get another cd player cheaper than the money I might be putting in it....but I love the vintage look this unit has...well wish me luck... Not as cold as it has been....but still my cats are cold....there in the "Clam" this morning.... Stoney & Boney say hi.... Check-in later.... MKP :-)

Hope you have a great time. Soak it all up my friend!

Good Friday morning gang 36 and Nippy, im tellin ya for a Calif boy this is BS. A little more "water from the sky" is on the way, not enough. "EL Nina" is letting us down. Carl will be a partyin animal for Sat. Have fun, or that goes without saying PowerBall looks to be interesting Eveyone have their tickys ? In other news, Daughter is coming home from thy Cruise ship job, seems she fell out of her bunk. Cracked jaw, major bruising, requiring surgry, so home she comes

Happy Friday all. I'm playing hooky today as we have company coming in from all over the US. My son is getting married tomorrow. Should be a blast. I love seeing family.

Oh my!

You've heard it here first......I'm going to win. Nice gifts for my CC&C buds.

Well, I'm with you! I embraced CDs as soon as they came out, got rid of all of my vinyl, and still buy CDs of artists I enjoy. Somehow, handling a physical medium is more appealing to me than having a computer as part of the audio system. Guess we are in a definite minority, but as long as CDs are being made, I'll continue to buy them! Maynard

Naw, sailors life, half the time i came back to my first ship i was on, i was carried. She will be fine. My hats off the the On-Board Doc, for knowing when to say When.......

Mornin' all. Not much cooking out here except a few inches of snow. Just enough to screw up rush hour for the non-retirees like Better Half Unit. My biggest burden is brushing a little snow off the satellite unit for better TV reception. Life is so hard!! Congrats Carl ... have a great day with the family. MKP.......good luck getting that CDP fixed. Back later. Happy Friday.

Thanks. All 4 of my brothers will be in town as well as my wife's 2 sisters. My Uncle is flying in from Massachusetts to perform the ceremony. We'll have a big time for sure.

Is there anyone else that does any Winter Fat Biking? i've been doing about 8 to 9kms per day in the snow.

Evening gang Up from Nap. man, nothing really to do but hobbies and im quite busy. Bank, realestate people, cold and snowy up Reno way, tried to tell these realstate people you are going to starve if you are waiting on me buying into anything before March. It's winter, go hibernate or something, i'll be up in March dammit. In other news, every time i open the Reffer im starin g at those Pickled Eggs, told to the wife Dam, im tryin one. She a Month Min. I say now. Guess what i had? An Egg, just an egg, no pickle flavor, dam good egg though.

About 1:15 in

Once upon a time I kind of favored cream corn - I think I'll pass at this point! As she seems an intellectual I think she was just showing the boys how their vodka was made - with corn of course, a little water, sugar and she provided distilling kettle): A great lesson taught ---

We have a cat, his name is Otis. He has only one eye so I call him our pirate puss. Anyway, he comes in for visits everyday but spends nights outside. We have no litter box and he has never had a mishap. He just goes to the backdoor to let us know he needs outside. Great setup as he is about 5 years old now. Best way to have a cat for us.

Yea but will there be any music playing? He-Haw, have a great time Carl.

Sounds like good and bad news at the same time, hope she recovers well, glad it wasn't worse.

happy fabulous friday! congrats carl! enjoy your family! enjoy your time with your daughter, mark. love and home = the best medicine!

First thing I'd do here in WV would be---I'd buy a Doublewide and take the wheels off.

Evening gang Waiting for my re-heated fried Bison meatloaf Din Din. Should be w/taters, i hopin! Worker Bee's --- Friday Morning coming up, hope you put in a good healthy weeks work. Us SS people are countin on you for the new year, lookin for that "Bump" in pay ya-know If you really work hard for the next few years, there just may be someting left for you to look forward to

I'm not going to lie. If I won it all, I would probably do a lot of cocaine.

Nothing odd about that at all. A very well recorded redbook CD played on a quality player can and does in most cases sound better than most(non Hi res) computer based recordings. Bill

Well she was already thinking abot not going back to the boat as of late. She wants to go finish her Masters we are cool with that, then she wants to move to Dublin, good with that also. We will likely need to buy her a car of some sort, no biggie. 5Bd house, so room is not a problem either. We are stuck here in the state till at least after march next year.

God bless you Ms. Valerie. I will be praying for your swift recovery. As previously stated, thank you for letting us in and sharing your Paul with us.

Good (Almost) afternoon gang Up from Nap 1. Cold, fog burnning off, i want a Corn Dog Dammit. Well now i have things figured out, W/MKP First, it is a real critter Second, it's his,(Theres) Third, i see where the name "Stoney" works for them. Now that is a cool Cat, i like it. I will show the wife. Already told the wife and Daughter they can have another Cat, but from now on it's indoors. Tired of paying well into the thousands for an indoor/outdoor critter. In nevada, i will not care, as Goats and a Pig will be on the Ranch.

Stoney is always kinda hi looking. Have you noticed?

Best wishes to you Miss Valerie. If its ok, I would like to thank you so much for sharing your Paul with us all. I'm reminded of his genius nearly everyday.

That's cat is enough to scare other cats, I have to ask.........is that a hairless cat or did it get shaved ? I know it sounds crazy but it does have makeup on so it's a reasonable question considering MKP is around. Kind of looks like an Aunt I have

Congratulations Carl, it sounds like it's going to be fun, you may need to take a day off of work to get a break after all this.

I tell you what I'd do ...... two chicks at the same time, man!

http://www.klipsch.com/blog/klipsch-at-ces-2016-day-2/ Good stuff! Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Klipschorn & Heresy SpeakersThese limited edition Klipschorn and Heresy III speakers are a stunning tribute to our proud 70 years of history. Both of these Paul W. Klipsch designs are receiving an exotic Australian walnut wood veener finish and a unique grille cloth. Each pair of speakers will have a special 70th Anniversary plaque, hand signed by the builder, identifying it as part of this limited series. Oh and you gotta love those special logos! There will only be 35 pairs of these 70th Anniversary Klipschorns made and 70 pairs of the 70th Anniversary Heresys. We will announce availability information shortly. Heresy III Wireless SpeakersYou may look at this photo and say “that’s just a Heresy III.” Well, you’d be dead wrong. This puppy is powered by custom engineered electronics and wirelessly connected with WiSA high definition wireless technology. (Just like the Reference Premiere HD Wireless System.) The Heresy III Wireless accepts digital, analog and Bluetooth wireless technology inputs and easily connects two turntables via the built-in phono pre-amp.

You can "win" $2 if you don't play.

Well before you go on your coke binge, ya might want to have you own rehab buit.....you could be your best client......lol lol MKP :-)

And strippers! I refer to lotto as paying your idiot tax. Strippers ??? How second rate can you get man? Second class thinking there my man. The "Correct" way is to buy the strip joint, this way you are treated like a king when you show up. :emotion-21:

I hoping that "Link" just goes by the way side.

It also depends on the in-ground lifts you have. These are light years ahead of what was out there (air over hydraulic) in the 70's and 80's. Thats what ours were, air over hydraulic and probably from the 80s.Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Im revolking My "Like" as posted earlier this morning,But i will give you a well done , i do not usualy click on links till later in the day, and i just did, now i would venture to say you will be a great one in the BS Forum. you will quite easily out smart / out wit the posters there.

Yes! My wife just got me an emotiva erc-3 for Christmas. It sounds excellent through my set and diy la scalas. Amazon dropped a few new discs in my mailbox today too. The people who think I'm nuts for buying cds could care less about sound quality.

Well Carl, I would guess there will be a Martini station somewhere in the house, it would only be right considering how good yours are.

Mine are nearly 31 years old, and the dust caps are perfect. The passive woofer dust caps are exposed and easy to bump into when moving the speakers, so they must be handled with care. I still have the original boxes in my attic. I have moved 4 times since I bought them (the last time was 23 years ago), and every time they moved in the original boxes.

Most of those leak underground and had constant issues with water intrusion from the ground and being introduced through the compressed air. The new ones fit in an in ground cartridge and can be easily removed or replaced. Any leaks are contained (but I've never had one). The hydraulics are electric motor driven from a power pack mounted on the wall. We have 10k and 12k's here.

It also depends on the in-ground lifts you have. These are light years ahead of what was out there (air over hydraulic) in the 70's and 80's.

I remember this picture of PWK investigating those large Western Electric horns similar to that previous picture....... At first I thought he was measuring for a new Khorn top hat, then I saw this picture of PWK and Jim Hunter with this monster horn. . "Yea yea yea I know Paul.... we'll spray foam all over the outside of it and there'll be no resonance"

When it leaves your shop, make sure the CD player has a RaP disc in it. They will never know where it came from..... Dont have any Rap CDs available? Go ask those car lot guys, they get that kind of crap all the time in the used car business maybe they saved a few.....

Help me Carl..... Damn Jeep snuck in the Honda shop...... lol lol MKP :-)

Yuck.....Remind's me of the Banana Show in Okinawa.
