My mom is having a pericardial window performed on Saturday morning for an unexpected pericardial effusion. Not too much fluid buildup but enough for concern for an otherwise very healthy 86.5 years old woman. All prayers will be greatly appreciated. My sister is flying from Asheville, NC to Macon, Ga this afternoon to be with her for the surgery on Friday morning. My family and I will drive up Saturday morning. My understanding is that during the pericardial window the doctor cuts away part of the pericardium and inserts a tube for the excess fluid to drain. She will also have an antibiotic drip to prevent infection. Please pray for the doctor to have wisdom and skills to perform the procedure excellently with no complications, no infection to set in, and full recovery. Also please pray for my mom to be able to endure the pain of the chest tub removal which has been described as "worse than childbirth". Thank you all, Bill

Yea I just turned 53........ I got to get one of those "procedures" Glad to here your good to go MKP :-)

Reminds me of that great submarine movie, Run Silent Run Deep, where Clark Gable says, "Up scope." Glad things checked out Bruce.

Just returned from having my ten year 'procedure'... Since I didn't eat anything at all yesterday, I was ready to have breakfast today. Yum! Fresh rice, some leftover lechon (roast pig) and a couple of eggs. Added a fresh asian mango to top it all off. Finishing a fresh cup of coffee and will take a good nap. Good news is I can wait another ten years before I do it again... Bruce

Back from a whirlwind nc trip! So sorry we couldn't connect Chuck. My uncle who was hosting the reunion has leukemia and is on his last days, so his kids had to leave midweek and I took over part of rage hosting duties which ate up my free morning. Hopefully in Hope we'll meet up sometime! Left mid 90's for high 70's, but it feels great! Enjoying cup number one. Have a great rest of the week all!

The other good news, you won't feel a thing... The prep is no fun, but the rest is easy. So, I'll be 77 when I get my next one.

We began Day 2 of the installation at 7am and wrapped up at 12:30am. Two very long days....I'm working off of 4hrs sleep. Yesterday I had my very first energy drink at midnight, and my second energy drink this evening. LOL I don't have any photos to share as most of the day was spent outside making adjustments to the height of the columns. Neither of us felt the transition from the column to the piece that sits above the column flowed well so he had to make some adjustments to several pieces and ended up modifying the top and the bottom of the column. I painted the side walls to help totally blacken the area behind the screen and am very pleased at how that looks. I also painted the wood supports behind the screen frame flat black as well. We ran into a few more snags today but were able to overcome and as always, Shaun found solutions to the problems. I thought a quick video recap showing what we've worked on might be nice. I will post a recap video each evening showing the progress we've made. Hope you enjoy the video while I catch up on some much needed sleep. It's almost 2am and we are hitting it hard again at 7am.

you look like the MAD YELPER...lol

Yea I just turned 53........ I got to get one of those "procedures" It's apiece of cake compared to your carrot. THE CARROT.....Help me...... MKP :-)

Heading to post office to ship out the last of the Pilgrimage "goodies". Hopefully, this last shipment will take care of everyone who couldn't attend or placed orders! Thank you for your patience! I'm sure the post office will be happy to see me..again. Christy

Or ....as the 5th Dimension sang in the 60's "Up, Up and Away."

Great! I'll see y'all there. I'm retired as of 2:45 today!!! SSH

And mount it to a helmet.

If they're nesting, it could explain the aggression. NO ONE will touch them if they're nesting and if you do, expect heavy fines (IF caught). EDIT, the above is true for song birds and endangered birds. Check with game wardens on Hawks.

Thanks so much guys, this means a lot. Michael(Youthman) just called me to pray with me and I am super grateful for his friendship. Strength in numbers. Bill

I'm a can man! :D Melons are just speed bumps....... Mark

I will see if this is a possibility. Would be a great fundraiser for the museum.

Math is hard enough when you have 8 hours sleep.

I just left a review and requested a quote for some work.

Here is the massive aluminum frame to hold my 150" AT Screen! Holy cow is this thing enormous! We brought in one of the columns to see how it would look. When we raised the screen, the frame just barely touched one of the columns. Shaun asked me to give him some time to think how to fix it. I step out of the room for about 20 minutes to catch up on some emails and when I come back in, he hands me a 1/16" sliver of wood. He ended up using a skill saw to hand cut the back side of the column a 1/16th of an inch so that the column would sit closer to the wall and provide enough clearance for the screen frame to be raised without it touching the columns. Now that was impressive! There is a latch (similar to a hood latch) installed that allows the screen to be raised for easy access to the inside of the cabinet and speakers. It is supported by dual gas shocks. Wooden framing was added to the left and right of the screen that will be used to support the diamond pattern. This diamond pattern turned out absolutely gorgeous! I'll get some close up shots of it after we finish the build. Five carpeted plywood sections are installed to support the LaScala Trio and (4) RSW-15's. These are just sitting on top of the wooden frame so they are very easy to remove to gain access below the carpeted platform. The bottom middle section is attached to sliding rails that will support up to 300lbs. I will finally be able to easily gain access behind my equipment when I need to install or swap out components. Well, that's all for tonight. Will share more pics tomorrow evening. It's not 3:22am....I have no idea how I'm going to function at 7am. Haha. Hope you enjoyed the pics. I know I LOVE what I'm seeing. This is turning out far above what I could have ever asked for. Absolutely incredible craftsmanship.

I like your black Khorns Dave.

The midrange of the Super AA ships 6dB down compared to the 3dB down of the Type AA. Most of the difference that people are hearing is the difference in midrange output. Trust me - I've done this comparison many times. If you match the midrange settings - it's a coin toss as to what a person will prefer. Not a criticism, just an observation. A good design and good value - but I would opt for some AAs from Bob Crites and then knock the midrange down. Hard to go wrong with all new parts and much better capacitors.

I thought my idea was a good one, kind of like an avian force field.

I'll have to plead the 5th on what I'd do, but here's a little song I wrote about it.....

That is bullshit. Call your conservation agents, animal control and, your local Audubon society and see what their recommendations are.

I'm with Zim.

While I do agree with this, it is up to the seller to set the price and not us. If it is too high, it most likely will not sell and seller is forced to lower price. Let the market dictate that. Price concerns are better discussed privately. Bill

You are indeed more polite than most of us, certainly more polite than me especially after he made the "you don't know..." snide remark to you. I flagged both of his ads which are obvious attempts to rip people off with lies using the good name of Klipsch.

Congratulations!! And thanks for your service to our children!

No wonder the woofers look like they're in jail...

Ya'll didn't read the fine print. It states on the box that they are "theater proven". I'll bet Roy uses them in his HT

I'm too offensive to play goalie.

I have a KTM XCF-W 350 for my enduro pleasure. I take it by your name and interest that you ride.

The Niles SPK-1 works well, and will handle up to 600 watts.

What they said.

Niles switch box is the way to go, that's what I use.

Shouldn't be needed on a 3.3 or 3.8 but they're not easy either. You just gotta hold your tongue right.

That's funny, wish we could have met. wish i had new glasses; these have just burned my retinas I wasn't even there... lost my normal glasses months ago, and only have my sunglasses... and somehow my retinas are burning..... mebbe a good think I didn't manage to make it to Hope... I did get to Indy

Marantz 2330 on way to be restored

I don't even know what a track saw is, lol. I will have to look next time I'm at the store. The RSW and similar subs are good but, you are becoming a bass head, he, he. I cut the baffles and dry fitted everything before the next step.

Hmmmm....where could I put a 5th RSW-15? Fantastic sub, someone will be very happy. Best wishes with the sale.

He, ya'll. Quit prodding Amy. Obviously, she's trying to balance an appearance of company professionalism while granting continued residence to a bunch of loiterers. How about some help with ideas on how to achieve the result?

...but do they have a remote???...[] Bill Lots of class action suits on the front loaders. I'm thinking of going top loader, more heritgae like. Really, we are looking to replace our set.

I got a new front load washer & dryer. Sometimes, when in the area, I'll pop in the room just to gaze upon them and say Hi. Where's Mr. Parrot?

Vinyl sounds better than CD's!
