I tore my shorts and decided to sew them instead of tossing in the garbage. My wife says "real men sew." LOL

I stopped smoking at 27, cold turkey... But it was mostly a social thing and only a pack and a half a day. Never wanted any since then. Bruce

Rain didn't make it here so the pollen is still thick. Hope to get some showers this afternoon. Jason.....I agree with Wolfbane.....never too late to quit. I think there was a lengthy thread on the forum about that a couple of years ago. LF is closing on her house 4/28 and then a complete kitchen renovation and floor sanding prior to moving in. May put a damper on plans to go to Hope gathering UNC Tar Heels were victorious late last night.....too late for me. Sent a nice card to the wife of the gentleman that was servicing my R2R. May hear back. If I lose the deck that's okay but cosmetically it was a 9/10. Sent minermark and Joe a note. Haven't received a response from either Make it a great Sunday gents.......

Stress test, that is what i had. Doctor says my heart is in great shape but I'm not so sure. I smoke as well, roll my own in fact. Going to follow up with my doc next week and hope to get more information of what the issue could be. Its never too late to quit. Cold Turkey works best.

I am on the fourth cup, Had dinner at my sister's for the first time, it was nice. Relaxing now for a bit, needed the cup to keep from falling asleep.

Wife went to a craft show and I am presently eating an Amish made black Raspberry pie.... YUMMY! that cheese looks good as well there Wolfbane1 Roger

Everyone quits smoking eventually, the goal is to be alive when you quit. Best wishes Jason.

Never thought anybody was nagging here, just offering friendly advise as usual.

Morning gang.... Stayed at moms last night....our daughter took the weekend off, she'll be back later today....So between my wifes sisters and our other daughter and son and us mom was well taken care of....So far things are working out....it's not easy but who said life is easy.... Now when we give mom lunch or dinner we can't tell her it's lunch or dinner she won't eat it....she just picks at it....but if we tell her it's a "snack" she eats it up....so it's snacks all day long for mom.... lol lol Yesterday we went to the RV rental place and checked out the RV....yea it's cool and we confirmed our reservations....yea baby it's on!! The BOSS took a couple pics of it...the pics are on her phone so she'll have to load them up... The smoking thing......never smoked.....well nothing legal "in most states"...... don't even do that any more....... My dad quite smoking over 30 years ago...he said it was on of the hardest things he's ever done. My mom stopped years ago also.....they say they feel so much better... Ok gang check in later.... my tablet is messing up....check-in later... MKP :-)

We are not trying to nag you my friend.....I know too well that doesn't work. Finally getting a little rain. Watching Patriot Games.....again The widow of a friend is selling her husbads tools at 2 today prior to a move. He was meticulous to an extreme and anything he owned is in top notch shape. I am just the opposite....never put things in their proper place. I may stop by anyway....could use a push mower.

Wow, I was only a pack a day guy and it is still hard for me to not want to smoke. One of the toughest things I have had to do and this is the second time around. The first time, I quit cold turkey and didn't start back up until four years later. It didn't help that I would smoke cigars, I love the occasional cigar but if it means I will be back to cigarettes forget it. Finishing up the second cup, then time to make the grocery list. I think I may have his number, I was thinking of giving him a call and see how he is doing. I hope Joe is doing ok, we haven't heard from him in a while.

Went in to have some chest and jaw tightness looked at along with some shortness of breath Wednesday afternoon, been happening every morning for a week or so. Swear they drained 1/2 of my blood for testing. Worst part was when they shaved a bunch of spots on my chest to attach some things to my skin for some test and then made my fat *** run on a treadmill. Now i look similar to Andy from the 40 year old virgin after the chest waxing scene. Hospital still does not know what is causing my symptoms after the big fiasco.

There's a joke in there but I'm not going to do it.

i don’t know...that salesman looks kinda shady.

I only sew after eating quiche...

Real men sew while wearing them

RV looks very nice! Should work out just fine for y'all! So excited that it's coming together for you guys to attend the Pilgrimage! It's going to be a blast!!!

That should work Mark

trying to trick the system...

Going to follow up with my doc next week and hope to get more information of what the issue could be. Its never too late to quit. Cold Turkey works best. You are correct. I started smoking at 25, was up to 3 packs a day within a year. At 27 I started to feel the impact of smoking and I quit. I'm so glad I quit.

I hope it's nothing serious. The fact that they let you go home is a good sign. A friend had shortness of breath, dizziness, and felt weak. He was 45 years old, 6' tall, 180 lbs, and worked for a living. He seamed to be in very good shape, but he's a smoker. His doctor did a stress test with him on a treadmill. The Dr didn't like what he saw, immediately sent him to the hospital for a 4 way heart bypass! That was about 6 years ago, he quit smoking and is doing very well, it did scare him pretty bad.

Toss in some nice vino and they're for catching cougars. Their milk though is usually all dried up.

I would think the cheese should cost alot more, have any idea how hard it is to milk a cougar.

It's just bedder cheddar.

Its really an excellent quality Cheddar Cheese. As good as the best Cheddar's from the UK, Wisconsin or Oregon. At $22/30 oz can its a steal and will last forever aging slowly in the can until open.

I kind of had a rude awakening this morning proving to me the more we travel in this hobby the little we actually improve... My 9 year old grandson that has been living with us for the last years was doing so exceptionally good in school that I decided to do a major overhaul on his bedroom about a month ago with a big screen TV for Xbox and TV, I also decided the kid loves music so why not put some of my spare speakers that I seem to refuse to get rid of along with a trouble free Kenwood KA-5001 SS integrated amplifier and Scott tube tuner.. Since the room is only 10' X 11' I decided it was the perfect place for my very first Klipsch Heritage speakers! 1984 Heresy! I enjoyed these immensely early on in my klipsch audio travels and remember saying many times those little speakers do something special that large speakers just can no do! I woke up this morning about 4:30 for some reason. Sat on the couch for about a 1/2 hour deciding if I could get back to sleep and decided against it. Made a nice pot of Swedish Skanerost coffee (thanks for turning me onto Paul). My grandson is at his mom's for a visit this weekend and I decided I go in there and listen to the Heresy's..... All I can say is Heresy's in a small room are spectacular! I spent 3 1/2 hours listening through tons of my music collection. My wife briefly got up at 6:30 took one look at me and said your a nut job! I said yea but you love me! Cheers!

Tried that, switched to e cig instead, couldn't get the turkey lit and the papers were always wet.

I thought they picked him up hitch hiking

RV is awesome. can only load 1 pic -- file too big. and meal choice after --- gross

I have quit smoking many times, problem is you have to want to quit to really quit for good but i like smoking and always start back up.

Well I'm not real in that case, last time I tried i broke the needle. Looks like an antique machine.

one often wonders what road the seller has taken. He previously spoke to me about downsizing? I can vouch, these Chorus are NICE (used to be mine) https://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/5499722120.html Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Gives a whole new meaning to "thumbing a ride".

Good looking work there duder!

Nice work so far duder, looks good. I just roasted up some Pecan Pie coffee for myself this morning. One of my favorites! Tim

I forgot which forum member gave us this tip, but I like it... He said if the speakers are priced for each, then go hassle him to sell you ONE of them for $350. Two weeks later, when he can't unload the other one, offer him $100 for it.

The Lumberjacks were a fun team to watch.

There are some attachments on this thread I started about my CF-3 v3's where I was updating mine. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/151367-crossover-diagramsp-for-various-cf-3s/?hl=%2Bavguytx+%2Bcf-3#entry1757211 Then this one where they're done. https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/152523-klipsch-cf-3-crossovers-updatedmuch-better/?hl=%2Bavguytx+%2Bcf-3+%2Bcrossover#entry1889550

Ahh, the curious Kitty ...and nice nails there MKP, I had no idea

Yeah, what Mookie said I will even drive in to meet you for a quick bite to eat together... You guys are killing me.... lol lol MKP :-)

Yea I got them back about two weeks ago.... they turned out good....not as nice as the ones you and Matt put together....but I'm happy with em... Yea I gotta finnish the story....I'll get some pics of them.....well I took some pics of them but the pics didn't look good....it was dark and they have a real dark finnish on em.... I still have to clean the covers and find the new badges I have for them....the badges are in the house somewhere..... I'll try to post this week... MKP :-)

Hey Matt are they your pics? I tell ya man if you were within 200 miles of me when you were selling em.....let's just say they would be in my living room.... Man they are soooooo nice.... MKP :-)

mkp's favorite show as a very young kid in england...

Horizontal center speaker design is in existence for one reason only, to fit on a TV stand below TV or mounted above TV on a shelf or wall. Three identical speakers in the same vertical or horizontal array is best for HT especially when you have an acoustic transparent screen. The "compromise" comes in when your room is dual use like a family room and a projector/screen is not practical. Bill

I'm very lucky. My wife turned me on to klipsch and is always supportive when i want something. Mother in law who lives with us bought my denon avr4311ci for me last year! Every day after work when i listen to music for an hour or two mother in law usually shuts her door but never complains at all. Wife loves it and will sometimes listen with me. Wife and i are going to see a led zeppelin cover band next week at hard rock Biloxi. Get the lead out. Yes i am very lucky to have her

I built a spud also, I love it, it even keeps up with the MWM's when crossed at 40hz. I thought about building another, for one on each side but never got around to it because there is no shortage of bass with just the pone, maby one day ? I use it for HT also with the forte ll's and with the forte's set to small and the spud running the bass is really good for movies. It's amazing how much output can be had with that design with 2 small drivers and it fits pretty tight along a wall.

OH You are BAD!! I like it! Roger

Good thing they didn't have to do that, from what I hear missing a big toe can throw off your balance pretty bad, you would have been really messed up. He didn't tell us what body part the doctor was going to use to replace his big toe Have you ever seen the one armed violinist seen from Hollywood Knights? Roger
