a friend will be at the game.... I will try to get some live action shots from the stands.....

What was surprising was the size of the glasses of Bushmills, it was like a medium size water glass. What happened was the restaurant never had that brand so the owner went and got a few bottles and I guess he just split it up between about 25 of us. It really was alot, way more than a few shots in each glass. The good thing was they got a bus to bring everyone so there was none of us driving, the restaurant was in Texarkana 30 minutes away, very nice place. Plus they had wine and champagne on the bus, I was a little crispy when it was over. Couldn't get to crazy we were with some important people, well no more than they did at least, it was fun. After everything was over the owner of the restaurant wheeled over a cart and started making Bananas Foster for everyone, he was pretty good at it.... pic

Anything else.

Another beautiful day here in Southeast TX.

unrelated to coffee wife is happy that I am excited. She may get over that when those scalas show up. Worse comes to worse, I think I can sleep in that 8cu/ft bin ...

understood. when being entertained, or entertaining others, it's probably good etiquette to not get much more out of order than the rest of the group. (allow for someone to outdo you in that dept. ) yea, Bananas Foster is impressive. but sort of seems like an awful waste of premium liquor just for show... back in our much wilder days, seems like I remember a party getting wild. folks were blowing the hi test stuff from their mouths & lighting it up. I vaguely remember someone else escalated that, I think catching butane from a lighter, lighting that up. I think someone lost some eyebrows in the process. and no, I don't indulge in that sort of craziness (any more )

just having some afternoon coffee and not starsucks ....

Damn Yankees!

So is scotch and I can't do that either. I keep trying though, thinking one day I'll like it but it looks like that day will never come. It really is an acquired taste, both. I remember for one Pilgrimage Andy brought some Irish whisky and at the end of the night we were drinking shots of it. Can't lie it was very rough, I think it was Powers brand. Another time was last Pilgrimage we were invited to go eat with the Klipsch people in town for the museum transfer and while eating everyone was poured a medium size glass of PWK's favorite whisky, Bushmills and we all did a toast to PWK. After the toast Christy and the girl next to me slid there glasses over to me and said I can't handle this, it's terrible. These were good size glasses, by the time I finished these and the Margarita I ordered I was kind of lit up, it was fun.

Years ago when I did a little deer hunting there were 2 Yankees that joined our hunting club. One day they invited a few of us over to their trailer (clubhouse wasn't luxurious enough) for coffee. It was the worst coffee I have ever tasted. But it would remove tar from your car and if you spooned the grounds from the bottom of the pot and caked it on rust after a few days the rust would be gone right down to bare metal.

you must be vibrating by now

cool. and I'm not sensing any condescension at all, so well delivered. thanks for the feedback. I may have to check into this.

Bill, @WillyBob, those La Scalas will fit in a Ford Edge, so fly to South Bend, visit the Studebaker museum, buy a Studebaker, bring them home, and sell the Studebaker to @Allan Songer

just had a crazy egg sandwich... on a fresh Kaiser roll.... 2 eggs over easy with thin sliced ham off the bone..... should of made it with hamburger...

having some morning coffee...

Mornin' all a tad brisk this AM, some frost. Had to stoke the fire. So, I made coffee ... and here I am. Good thing I have some time before I get those Scalas here. Gonna have to shuffle some things around to get them into suitable locations Like getting the stepson to move from the "cottage"/guest house HaHaHa In the first vid about Arivaca, in the opening shot of the town ... See the blue church in the middle of the frame? Our place is on block in the foreground of that church. HaHaHa anyone want to dispute my description of us [me] as "hill folk"? I'm just your "country cousin"

A rather large storm had just passed by last summer leaving a nice rainbow and some extraordinary color. This was quickly taken with an iPhone 6+. Nothing special & no filters used.

It will do a good job for him. He's coming from a small ported 12.

They have a volume knob, I could always feel them if I can't hear them. Anyway you would have to get past my wife, she actually picked them out. As long as Ellie Mae was going for a ride, I wouldn't blame him.

Chuck's rides through the years..

no this would be Chuck 's ride to hope...

I snagged this pair new in box and had the all gone through I use them with a pair of Joseph Audio pearls Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I snagged my first pair of “older” Klipsch Speakers. These are first gen Epic CF-2 in Cherry. So far, I am really liking them. I have been a huge supporter of the older Reference speakers and the Paladium line but I am having a good time with my new purchase!

Here is an audio demo comparing the Klipsch RF-7 III vs RF-7 II vs RF-7.

You guys have me on my second pot of coffee. Killing me. Thanks.

@WillyBob What is the deal with Chicory anyway? My mom is from the South, but she got better. We went to see her family, and I thought it was coffee. It is an acquired taste the same way that an STD is. I am just joking, but god it was awful. My wife's family is from Charleston, South Carolina (she got better too) and her dad just loved boiled peanuts. I tasted the corner of one and was sick for days. He kept say just eat one a say for a week and you will love them. At least they have barbecue to die for.

I don't either, well never did that kind of craziness anyway, just drank it. Well I wasn't really worried about the people we were with, I would just rather them think I have something wrong with me than to prove it, plus I don't work for them so it could only go so far. And I do know a bunch of them and they are no better as far a crazy goes. It was fun

^ Warning... Will Robinson!

It's surprising how long the coals stay glowing under the ashes, I hate when i find this out when trying to shovel out ashes. One good thing is someone gave me an old heavy Stainless bucket used to milk cows and it's what I use, but the smoke and heat is no fun.

can't put it off any longer. I've been waiting for the coals to burn down in the stove, before I sweep the chimney. Not as low as I would like. "Out" for instance. Taking the baffles out is fun when they are hot. not.... And when the stove is hot, the creosote drafts up the chimney, and all over you, when you clean it. Sounds like a good way to get out of doing laundry.

Musta been weak. Mine woulda left a hole in the metal. HaHaha Chicory is an acquired taste. I bet dtel would like RedSea from our roaster. It's a premium. Special ... dried with the cherry on the bean. Reminded me of chickory

I've had coffee like that ^ ^ ^ and I use the word "coffee" very loosely here. not sure in what nightmare that's really what it is.

Yes he does. I can't take it though.

Been thinking about doing that, need to check them out.

UNC/Syracuse at 7pm. Tarheel on one side....dirtmudd on the other!

they do make some good stuff. used to - I would only pay for it when traveling (when I put it on the expense acct) but I've taken a liking to it & been brewing their ground at home. gotten rather attached to it.

wow, yes, that must be bad. I think it's headed our way. yep. forecast here says 80 today. 80 ?!? in February ?!? what the ???

The neighbor did ask me to turn it down. When I pointed out there were no wires going to them, he said he didn't care and I needed to turn it down anyway.

our weather will be back to chamber of commerce after the golf tourney is over. I had things growing. See how it stood frost. you guys are making me want to brave that crappy midwestern weather and fetch up my stuff. Thank you and damn you at the same time. HaHaHa I'm running these little [hey kid, want some candy?] R15M's and trying to imagine an exponential leap in quality.

Partly cloudy here and 81, 85 tomorrow and back to 81 by the end of the week. Grass is even growing again.

The HK 630 and the La Scalas are a great combo. You're gonna love it.

They will fit in a Subaru Forester, too

Sun is shining and it will be in the upper 60s

is it good coffee? I need to get some beans. Used the last of the KenyaAB this AM.

Forgot how F'n cool this picture really was. Excellent change from the iceboat photo and adds some nice color to the forum.

Dude I have WAF ISSUES with ANYTHING I bring in the door so screw it as long as I can show no increase in inventory quantity.

A friend of mine was commenting about tin ears and not being able to appreciate good speakers ... I responded, "A deaf person can experience these babies".

That is going to be one impressive subwoofer.

am I hearing an offer of them getting to Hope?

oh dtel all of the roads are dirt and the paved ones, you may wish were dirt. RubyRd got so bad, you had to drive on the shoulder. truth if you go from here to PenaBlancaLake, it will take you a good hour and a half to blaze the 25 miles.
