when i was in 7th grade, i was convinced that i had syphilis (VD portion of our sex education class) the literature was rather convincing. Had to work up the nerve to tell my Dad that i had VD. I didn’t want to wait much past dinner because i didn’t want to enter the latent stage of the disease. It never was easy being me.

AWOL since Friday, but back now. Will have to catch up on some likes. Happy VT's day for all to whom it may apply. Took Better Half Unit to an annual dance with some other friends Friday night. As we were dancing to a nice slow song, I suddenly remembered a poem I composed for her maybe 3 years ago. And, yes, I chose that moment to recite it. Here goes..... "You don't have to bi*ch and whine, Cause I'll be your valentine." I know. Incurable romantic. Luckily, she has a sense of humor and cracked up. Cheers, gang.

Evening gang Just stopped by to catch up on the "Likes". Been waaay busy playing with another hobby. I did get a call on my EAW's today, so if those bad boys finely get sold, I can assy/move in the other stack of McMs in here. 70's + and today it was 77. Back to the hobby........

This morning I told my wife Happy VD. She looked at me like I was odd, then she smiled. They love our humor

I hope everybody had a great Valentine's Day! My son went to a friends to spend the night last night. THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUT! I mean seriously, it was perfect timing. I told the other kids dad "let's make this an annual thing." LOL

Didn't keep you out of the Coast Guard. :-)

You aren't kidding Happy VD day BSM

Glad to see you stop by.

Well IU played a great game the other night, so you should be okay today!

That's classic! Was it true?

That's good Chuck.

That's the idea and never forget it...........it just makes things easier

Same thing happened with my dad and grandson, same day a few years apart, and the first boy by anyone in the family since me.

Hittin the Chorus ii's hard with a M400t's bridged before we head to mom's.... alittle B52's Rock lobster..oh yea....

Morning gang 70's today. Dentist in an hour Pub flyby in an hour and a half GreyGoose BM will start my Monday, then of course a Nap

Jeff, next year all the kids will be at your house. Happy Monday all. 75 and raining here most of the day. Well, it IS a Monday after all. Mgr meeting in a bit, you guys be good.

Finely feeding another one of my hobby's. It's been quite a few years since I passed on all of my Ham gear. Iv been keeping my eye's on the web for quite some time and Tech is coming along just fine in the shortwave world. After a feverish three day's, iv decided on the best/latest ease of use radio receiver for world wide listening. Last time I did this I was 10, getting shocked, touching and getting burned by Tubes/solder iron, and stringing a long wire antenna(s) in the rain! Most Hams start out that way Next week the antenna goodies should trickle in, then I get to just sit here and push a button and see what ISIS is up to http://www.palstar.com/en/shortwave/

are you able to (or have a friend who is) or interested in building larger cabinets for your Heresy? You pretty much end up with a Forte which will play lower than a Cornwall does?

Valentines day is very special to us. On this day in 1995 my only brother died at the age of 38. He was a sweetheart and prankster! Also on this day in 2010, my only grandson was born. Took most of the sting out of the day. Already we see so much of my brother in him! Life is incredible... As for the "lovers" part of it... You have noooo idea! We started as a one night stand that never ended... Happy valentines day to every beating klipsch heart!

We were thinking of putting one of those in, I never realized there are so many different types. There are over 300 different Japanese maples, all named trees. All the good trees are named and grafted, the best book is by J.D Vertrees, it was printed by Timber Press out of Portland Oregon and it's hard to find old picture, still in pots

31.2 degrees here and raining... Not a nice day outside at all. Amazing what a 900 foot change in elevation does for you. Got a text message at 7:30am saying school is on a two hour delay. Supposed to make it to the mid 40s in the valley, but I'm not seeing it happen. Bruce

That's not exactly what I had in mind. We know what you had in mind

So you are finely tuning the retired thing it appears.

That's not exactly what I had in mind.

I agree...not at all alike. yes and not sure. speaking from quite of bit of experience in this matter, most of the time, i just THOUGHT i was being profound. LOL, and probably more accurate than not. How can the stoned guy sit there and tell the straight guy being stoned is better than being straight? Everyone has their own experience. Many people have tried various drugs, including MJ, and simply not "digged" them for whatever personal reasons they might have. Maybe it makes them too anxious or paranoid. Or too scatter-brained. Or whatever. I can't see how either side can pass judgment on the other.

Have fun Mark.

i’ve successfully removed an appendix (on beginner and intermediate level of video game Life & Death). On advanced level, the patient always died. So, if you need a routine appendectomy, i’m your guy. Will work for food. Playing the game once and made the first cut, and my doctor character was removed from surgery and ordered to immediately report to the chief of staff. While there, the chief of staff began with “operating without anesthesia will not be tolerated at this hospital...”

Hah, bingo. Reference gear gets dented more because they look better without the grills.

The world can't end, Better Call Saul season two starts tomorrow!

Certified to IPC-A-610 annually, and been soldering for 30 years. Not my favorite pastime. though.

Morning/Afternoon gang... Me and the BOSS getting ready to head to mom's for the day....Gonna give mom some candy.... and it's my grandsons birthday today. We got a few gifts for him and i'm sure me and him will be playing today.....We'll probably end up playing in a BIG box....lol lol I finally got my Sony CD player to the audio shop yesterday and I also took my 300 disc Pioneer Elite CD changer in for repair....I used this guy for a old Sansui that needed repair... that was years and years ago. He is in a new shop that is much bigger and has a show room full of vintage gear when you walk in. When we walked in The BOSS looked around and said "oh we should have brought more money" The guy was looking at me..... and I was like yea she's a good wife lol lol... She walked over and was looking at this nice old Mcintosh 75... she said I like this one.... I said "were here to get things fixed and not buying stuff" ..... I can't believe I said that... I'm on a mission to get things fixed and upgraded... also spoke to him about my Carver TFM-55 he said he has no problem working on Carver's... Well that's about it....not much else going on...... Yup.... I see the BOSS just posted.... and yea she's right.... were a one night stand that never ended ...... I you BOSS..... Wishing all a great day.... MKP :-)

Happy Valentines all you lovers...

Just burnt my tongue and upper lip on hot coffee. I have tried other things with dr. pepper and it was good. I will have to try that one. Before we went the reception, we were told that there wouldn't be any booze . So we came home right after the wedding and had a couple of cocktails before we headed to the reception. Then we found out that it was just a cash bar.

Can't sleep and its dam cold out, 11 degrees to be exact. Went out for a cigarette and it was a short one so not to freeze to death. Started up the Mr Coffee beforehand with some original 8 O Clock to get my day started, hope its a good one.

MM and DP….might give that a try

You have a great mother in law! If you want to try something different - we like regular makers mixed with Dr Pepper - it was an accidental discovery for us but it's a great combination, in our opinion.

My wife got me a bottle of Makers 46 last month. I highly recommend it if you haven't tried it yet.

We are sitting at 11 degrees. The only thing that would make the wedding seem interesting. Would be for me to booze it up. However i don't think this is that type of wedding. Plus i dont know much of anyone. Maybe a flask with Makers Mark is in order. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Return to Grand Haven, MI. That'll get you re-acclimated to snow and cold.

We were thinking of putting one of those in, I never realized there are so many different types. Haha…it sounds like the wedding isn't high on your list, you just kind of slid it in there If I ever felt like drinking something warm like coffee, today would be the day, the windchill is -15! I do have to go to work for a while, to prepare for Monday, so I'll be outside. I'm usually off in the winter, but the odd weather has me very busy. It was 55 one day last week, then cold again, I'm ready for spring. Have a great day everybody.

Saturday morning up early. Finishing first cup, thinking about second. Homework on the agenda, grocery store, than a wedding. Breakfast was frosted mini wheat. Can't wait to hear the rest of Gary's news. Well got to run. We were thinking of putting one of those in, I never realized there are so many different types.

i’ve lived in that climate before. But, i’m kinda spoiled now ... for instance, i don’t think it’s been under 76 degrees in quite a while. Last night was one of those “don’t even bother with covers” when i got into bed. Some winter weather, huh. I’ve heard Bend has 300 days of sunshine -- i hope that is true.

Guys like me & Elden probably don’t do so well in that cold weather anymore. I think i need to get acclimated to it again, as I’ve decided it’s time to get out of the bright lights around here. Bend, Oregon has moved to the top spot on my list...they get some snow and it can get chilly there.

Well the boss could warm you up but then nothing would get done

Probably 75 here today Gee thanks for the update Carl :-) Me and the BOSS are now sitting in her office, just finished lunch....and it's freezing in here.... Got to get back out in the shop were the BIG heater is..... MKP :-)

Very nice of her to make a turnaround like that, for many it never get's to that point. Your lucky. truer words have never been spoken. we are thankful for everyday... one day at a time...,

THAT is a dream scenario! Closest we have is a charity list, which I think they just opened so now anyone can sign up, but the state is actually delivering road kill moose to the homes of those on the list. Usually still plenty of good meat, and no longer are people processing moose on the shoulder of the road like they have been forever. (Dark icy roads, what could go wrong?!)
