Hoping he knows "I've always got his back." After 39 years of marriage I couldn't imagine it any other way. Thank you for the good thoughts and prayers. Christy

So...dtel will probably be upset with me for posting this...but...I've never varied from what I thought was the right thing to do. He was diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma last week. The dermatologist recommended the drug https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3541861/#!po=57.2917 as treatment for his condition. The side affects vary from fatigue to muscle spasms and a few others in between. You guys are some of our best friends and I just felt you had the right to know what is happening with him. He would never post about his condition. Of course, I'm gravely concerned, but he accuses me of being paranoid. Im not paranoid, but I believe in the power of positive thoughts and prayers. The side affects of the medication concern me, but the risks of surgical procedures appear to be greater. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. Also, please tell him to "give me a break" for posting this.

Just seen this, well can't keep any secrets. Well I guess if I'm going to tell everything, I should also say I pooped today, now were all done no secrets.

Best wishes to both of you in dealing with this. Together your're more than twice as strong as you are individually. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Just keep him off my *** for telling you guys.

Stew should have bought stock in the Taco trade.

OMG...... All I know is my bud from TheCarverSite that came over last summer with his Hellcat blew me away. That car was awesome.... Yea man, that Hellcat sounded badazz....... and imho I think it's one of the BEST looking newer cars on the market..... just saying.... MKP :-)

First martini today. Realized my bleu cheese stuffed olives are packed in oil so the Chopin has a little oil slick going on. Had a basal cell on the face one time and another type in the ear. Doc burned em off. I wasn't as pretty as normal for awhile A light dusting of snow possible tonight. My azaleas are blooming too.

Ha, glad im not the only one who's first thought was "PIC'S"

Pulling for a great outcome dtel. Thanks Christy for letting us know.

Will do.

^^^That weak azz shitt? dtel will kick that without breaking a sweat! T&Ps to you anyway!

Carl - what's the inside scoop on the Dodge Demon? My understanding is that it is an actual 2017 model. Over 800hp? A pumped up Hellcat? Or new configuration? Dodge fans needs to knows.

Holler next time you have a Dodge issue.

Good Sat Morning gang Farm Run, Deli Burrito (Chili Verdie). Electrical, Camera maint, Security Lighting, easy and partying by 10Am. Coffee, Perked Time to warm the Diesel...

A pair of RF-82 II for the living room system. At $359 each these have got to be one of the best bargains to be had.

My father told me that causes blindness.

Afternoon gang Shop/cave spring cleaning. As well as a WallBanger for a change.

For those following Fry's for deals, the RF82ii was a weekly deal beginning Saturday March 5th. Price is $229 each but ad says in-store only. Today is the last day of the $229 promo and as of right now they are showing in checkout with free shipping as an option. Things learned today - If you really want something in the Frys ad but it says in-store only it is worth your while to keep checking.

I've held off saying anything. I now know dtel would have never said anything. The last two weeks have been very stressful, if not for him...for me. I believe it's been stressful for him also, but he would never let on what's been going on. I appreciate all the friendships you have extended us and I believe you all deserved to know the situation we are facing.

So....the what I got today thread wasn't appropriate my friend?

First thought... I'm seriously glad that the guy who lived in the other side of the duplex from me moved out the end of last month. If he was still here he's be pounding on my door by now. Second thought... I'm not entirely sure I "need" a subwoofer any more. Been playing them most of the morning with the sub off. Definitely much more bass output than the Heresys. Third thought... Very revealing. Some of my CDs sound just awful when played through the new speaks. On the flip side what little vinyl I've played this morning sounded terrific. I'm getting through my normal weekend chores today so I can take tomorrow as a day of loud music and self indulgence. I have a twelver of my favorite beer on ice and everything needed for a big batch of home-brewed potato chips.

It's designed to carry on the Darwin theory.

We are still on the weather roller coaster. It was 72 Thursday, currently it's 22, down to 17 tonight Enjoy the day everybody......

morning Chuck

What a piss poor performance.....playing and coaching. Don't even want to talk about it.

Evening gang Fixed finely, the cruise control in the dodge with the help and reading of the "Cummings Forum" Seems it's been a problem from 03 thru 09 trucks. Air leak in Vacume line. Dodge wrapped up @ dark, then the neighbor kid comes over, needs a hand pulling crankshaft dampner bolt. Gee, iv not done one of those in 40+ years, 1/2 Breaker Bar and a 3' pipe, DONE, Dam Chevy vans.

One of my last Job tasks in socal was helping a bud with a start up instrumentation/calibration service. He chose a "Niche" market being Cyanide destruct systems for the gold district downtown LA. 12+ hrs a day, 4hrs of that was driving to/from diamond bar to LA. and as memory serves, it's only 35 miles one way. Two coolers in back of my little chevy POS truck, one was water samples for the Lab, the other was Beer, gridlock i got out of the truck and held up a beer, everyone within sight just got out of their cars and came for a libation. fun times.

---- but the upside to this is - you are almost outta there !

@minermarki almost took a photo today to post here ... 1:53 and the traffic on the 405 through Huntington was near gridlock already. The 5:00 traffic of years ago, now starts at 1:30. Ridiculous!

Sounds like a yes. Almost sounds like inside trading, if anyone know's Del Taco it's BSM.

I did, still don't understand German.

Will he sell the granite separately? I'd like to see how slabs sound.....

I am a vintage speaker guy, I love my Altecs and JBL's but also my Khorns and heresy also. I have been thinking about adding Altec 811 horns and drivers to my heresy's. Last night I did just that not knowing how it would turn out, man what a surprise I got. Those Altec horns gave the little Heresy's a big boy sound with a clear crisp mid range that is a delight to listen too. I really liked them before but for me something was just missing the 811's solved that. This can be done with the addition of one 3/16 hole in the back panel to route wires to the horn on top of the speaker cabinet. Just disconnect the internal mid range horn and add a new wire from the screw terminal to the new horn, very simple and reversible operation. I will be painting these horns and making them a permanent addition to my Heresy's now, for the record the horns have 806a drivers.

Bose, Better Sound Through Research

Just finished all 4 sides of Mr. Clapton's Unplugged on 180G vinyl and cued up ELP's Brain Salad Surgery also on 180G vinyl. An almost "religious" experience being played through the recently received RF-82 II. I really REALLY need to go shopping for more vinyl. My neighbor's only comment upon hearing the new system was "DAMN!" For just a tick under $3K I've assembled one of the best sounding systems that I've ever owned. And that's saying something considering I've owned stereo systems approaching $50K or a bit more.

Picture is deceiving. That's between the size of a nickel and a quarter.

This is what basal cell can look like.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Somebody please stop this thread, I want to get off! Would have preferred to exit with my dignity in tact, but looks like that ship sailed!

Now that deserved a like I was working on a new home yesterday. Some type of Dodge drove by, it sounded like a Nascar race car....probably the best sounding USA V-8 I've ever heard. I just caught a half second glimpse of it, but I heard it for 30 seconds!

Chuck, they'll bounce back. Maybe they got their bad performance out of the way before the big dance.

John Wetton was superb RIP Now For something different It's an album that has great SQ and a very interesting Artist list Any forum members have this album I also have a few other pressings from this label in the prog genre Artists - Various Artists Album - First Edition Artist and track list with pressing info in photo

This is my own pet theory but I've noticed for a long time the really top teams don't always care about winning their conference tournament. They will win a couple but then they have nothing further to prove and want to go home to rest their legs and their minds to prepare for the only tournament that matters, the NCAA championships. Kansas down, NC down, but who cares? They will both still get #1 seeds and It would not surprise me to see them both in the Final Four.

Tell Harvey I said hi.

all i can say Chuck, is that there is a del taco where i’m moving to, so the 40 years of money that i’ve poured into that place will continue.
