Hey there DizR..........That sounds like a lovely evening for you both, VERY nice and thoughtful of you I looked over the restaurant menu etc. Looks like some grand choices there.....ENJOY! (let us know how the whole thing turned out, from burr to gift card ) Hey there Duder! Good to see you again... Ok, FINALLY got my brand new Metzeler 800 series tires installed on my bike Thursday. My dealer was amazed that the bike still looks like the day they sold it to me 7 years ago!! Had a recall warranty service performed also....little thing called a rectifier with a more updated adhesive/heat conductor for the heatsink or something like that...Changed out the whole unit with a new one... Now registered and in a few moments heading to a motorcycle speed shop one town over to get my inspection... The owner let me off last year with a small bit of cracking in the front tire only (tread a'plenty, just a little dry rot), but said I needed to think about new tires for THIS year. So, I did what he said, and bought these top of the line German made tires... Here is a photo right after they were delivered to our shop... ......more later on.... .........Gary

Grew up in NE Pa. and it was always soda there and up and down the east coast, but when I moved to Ohio, I heard the term pop, over and over, but I still call it soda. Good thing is, everywhere I've been, beer is beer. LOL

Tomorrow the wife gets a gift of whole bean coffee and a Cuisanart burr mill. We shall see how that goes over. It violates the rule against giving a woman a gift with a power cord attached. It's our 34th anniversary. She'll also get flowers, a card and dinner at one of Detroit's best kept secrets, La dolce vita (http://www.ldvrestaurant.net/). The coffee stuff is more of a gift to both of us to celebrate the decades. The whole bean is 8 O'Clock Colombian and decaf. I also got some LaVAzza ground.

Good morning friends :emotion-44: Your welcome JL..........that Reba concert was a special order a few years back, it is only 42 minutes long. It is really very good, and an intimate setting with a small audience. A CMT production, the audio portion is the standard DVD format. It could be a series, but not sure. I would have to check into that. Of course, in Music Hall, I am always sure to have it in Stereo and not surround... The DVD case is also unusual. By this I mean, it is smaller then a BluRay yet a little taller then a CD Jewel case yet, has rounded edges which are the custom for an SACD jewel case. It is the only one I own like it in all off my audio/video collection ! Ok, nearing time for blueberry pancakes and coffee and juice and.......... ......yes, BREAKFAST here in the NE.... Heat and Humidity is ours for a while, 90ies again today and tomorrow... Enjoy your morning everyone... .................Gary

Hmmm.. ..Soda or pop? I grew up in Deeeeetroit. We called it pop. I thought calling it pop was a SE Michigan/northern Ohio thing. Anyone remember:

Unless you're a recent 'import' to our state, out here it's usually called pop.

It looks like you're playing around on the computer when you should be sanding. But that's just a guess.

Good Saturday morning to all! DD cup number 2 and getting ready to go into the office .

Well, thanks a lot! Great photo, pass me a cookie. How was "invitation only" anyway?

These were taken about 11 years ago... Canon 20D with a Sigma 120-300mm zoom (Gorilla - FTW Zoo) and Canon 100mm Macro (Ladybug & Flowers - Dallas Arboretum). These are low res crops taken from my Facebook page.

.....the vino and such....

Good evening my friends! Enjoying something different tonight in Music Hall over in RTM.............Some nice chilled Chardonnay, chocolate and an intimate concert setting with Reba sounding great through the KHorns ,,,all on a Friday night ! LOVE the your lighting JL ! You remind me of ME!, I am always playing with outdoor lighting.......but, I DID promise some photos and I will try to get to that before the weekend is out... Meanwhile, here is a the current photo.... Have a good evening........Melitta coffee in the morning

Morning gang just checking in to let you know i am still alive. Coffee just finished perking. Japoleno bread is done toasting. There is an argument going on here in the Omaha area. Is it soda or pop? Even from being around here i still call it soda. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Not great pictures... but I got some Salt Lake with my cell phone last weekend...

Folgers, land fill and back to painting; at least it's indoors, another 105-110 heat indices today. Perhaps some Sonos thru the Belles is in order.

BINGO!, Sir Mark. You are the lucky winner of, well, just a high five here we go, again - gonna be purdy... Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Is that a klipsch erector set ?

I'm glad the oppressive humidity is leaving for a few days. It's beautiful out right now, 60 with a high of 81. I wish our weather was like this every day of the year.

"Rainbow Row" , Charleston SC Snapped this on my walk into work yesterday . Other images from Google search of same area . Rainbow Row

Uuhhhhh...... lol

Thats a very cool one. Wish I could get mine to sit still long enough to grab something like that

Wow!!!! Well show us more. You got make sure you keep taking pics of your progress. G.E.M.

Sucking down a Shiner Bock after a day of modeling the listening area for the RMHC. Thinking I'll walk over to Pecan Point brewing for a Grim Ale in a few. Living downtown is GREAT. I can walk back with a growler of fresh beer anytime. Dave

This is getting a little "rednecky" guys.

I rather be driving this!

$$$$$$$$$$$ When this baby is born Mick's kids will be from age 0 to 45

I just designed and built an amplifier based on Hypex NCore modules. they just sound out of this world. I wanted to share it with you guys see the full description here: link

Well the journey begins again These are some early pictures of my new dedicated Jub room (ie: former garage). It will take a while to test and optimize and complete the room but it has finally begun...!!! It appears the Zebra Chair will be my main listening chair after trying the Copper Leather chair first. Experimenting with the Jub position optimization and how best to implement and optimize the acoustical treatment in this room are still to be determined. miketn

Roughly 8 months ago i bought all the tools to make my own subs. well after building a few subs i had been dying to try some speakers from Diysoundgroup. so i bought the fusion 8 towers and center. built them and absolutely loved them. but the downfall, IMO of my diy ventures has been finish. i duratex EVERYTHING. i do it cause 1)its easy 2)my wife doesn't mind it and 3)its extremely durable in a living room with a 5 year old running around. i was on pins and needles with the palladiums in the living room even know my son is VERY well behaved around speakers. Fast forward a few months and i got a buyer for the fusions and decided to try a three way design from a different designer. I ordered a trio of 893 speakers designed by a guy from avs forum known as tuxedocivic. he has designed quite a few speakers for the site. he's known for producing a more "forward" sound. I did not want to duratex these i wanted to try my hand at veneering. I researched pics of what the flat packs looked like for these since i could not do regular window bracing due to the three way horizontal. i knew the center brace needed to be different. so once i saw a pic of it i just mimicked it and made my own enclsoure. came up with this: after everything was put together i took a shot to see how much space this one was gonna take up. i did order crossover boards for this build as this one had about three times the part of my fusion build. wrapped with oak veneer after a ten minute coat of dark walnut minwax, and four coats of gloss poly here was the finished product not much for listening impressions so far except this baby has fantastic midrange, silky smooth highs, and the off axis response really is good. sounds great in every seat in my living room. will be doing some fun A/B'ing soon with some high end center channels.

well?

center is the "stock size" however these woofer are very versatile. I chose a fairly low tune. They can be tuned to 30 but cabinet would have had to be bigger which I didn't want.

before photo... Full restoration. Light Cherry with my classic triple pane cane grills. Another pair of "La Bella's" - 3 weeks edit: basically identical to the Scala's in the foreground Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

That would be a sight to see. In all seriousness it would not be the least bit funny but in a weird coexistance this would be going on... John Kerry would not have a clue what is going on and would be asking to meet with Kim Jong Un.....totally unrelated to anything going on. Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper would be in their speedos on set chasing each other around with squirt guns, all the time Anderson is giggling like a little girl...Kathy Griffin is offering sex to all of the captors. The House of Representatives would think this was a good time for a sit in and they would demand that Vladimir Putin be present....also totally unrelated to anything going on. Yes, it is a strange world we live in!!

+1, but unfortunately, there are many with their heads buried in the sand, or up their own arse, and can't see that there's anything wrong. They call it "tolerance," "compassion" and "understanding."

DOH !!! - and another winner. Yeah yeah yeah, i am getting there. Waiting for the deck to dry from last nights rain (a reasonable excuse?) Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

My first muted laugh of the day right there.

Those are going to be some big towers. The cabinet is extensively braced and will be a nice enclosure. Keep pushin' man!

I've got lots of other pics of the build i will add in a few days. I'm about to get some sleep gotta work all day tomorrow.

If I didn't have a RC 64 already, I would snatched this deal up like a thief in the night, lol.

Just home with the wife... at at a Mongolian grill, we stopped for the wife to get an hour long full body massage... now home and I'm having a Yuengling or two or... Bruce

There is an old saying---"No one will take my 402's from my cold dead hands". Well anyway somebody loves his 402's. JJK

I'm single, I'm in an apartment, I love pubs and live music.....I need to move downtown where these places live....I'm envious...Cheers and have an awesome night :emotion-22:

Back at you

Arash, That is very impressive. If it sounds as good as it looks, then you are one awesome designer/engineer. Congrats. Bill

OUTSTANDING Steve! Here's my view out the window as I listened. The old hotel on the left is about to be renovated into lofts, retail, and clubs. The Federal building in the distance is the second most photographed Federal Court House after the Supreme Court as it's the only one in two states. I'm about to head off down the alley below one block to the left for some tunes and brew pub awesomeness. Later! Dave

Sigh , Belles/VRD/NBS gone from 2 channel. I can only dream. Nice job I love it. Klipsch has been berry, berry good to me.

I will take a new Corvette, any color but pink or purple.

The port hole part is kinda creepy.

I just bought a Wyred 4 Sound ms 2 music server. It has about 4,500 albums loaded in FLAC. Got it on Audiogon and the music is legal. The clincher for me was that it was mostly jazz. Can't wait to hear it. Anyone have any experience with this unit? How about servers in general?
