Kind of amusing how each generation or half-generation is now pigeon-holed into an arbitrary category decided by self appointed generational experts. I care less as to what your age group is classified - a douchebag is a douchebag is a douchebag supersedes any and all generation placeholders -- ?! And you can spot 'em a mile away ---

And pooping you old farts, poop talk rules the conversation. Geeeeeze can't you boomers just die off already? As a first year GenXer I'm sick of you guys.

It happens, you realize you don't heal as fast and pain sucks and slows you down even more. I realize how old I am when I work outside and feel like I am done after a couple of hours, or inside, getting up and down off the floor while working on something, then seeing how you feel that night, like you actually did something more than you did. You know your old when you wake up and something hurts because you slept funny .

You've never seen mail until you approach 65 - Medicare, Medicare supplements, drug plans, vision, dental, etc from every damn insurance commodity you've never heard of. It's enough to make you feel old - ?!?

https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/ele/d/mondial-acurus-a200-amplifier/6517313578.html I am using one to drive my RF-63s and @Youthman to drive his RF-7IIs. Can you say thump? Bill

We didn't get a color TV until the moon landing... to watch in black and white.

Go Ramblers!

Michigan is HOT. How can they play so well after playing so poorly in the last game? This is what makes college basketball exciting. Loyola is getting hot.

OK ... how about this one?

Two pumps on a barber chair is high enough for me

before the ugliness of winter arrived.

I just cooked some coffee ... i imagine it isn’t going to pour itself and bring itself to me. why isn’t everything within reach of my recliner?

I locked mine and someone used a universal key. Then had a window to replace too. Thnx

--- $200/hr ? Hell with heights, when do you need me ---?!?

Yeah ... thought so If I would have had enough balls to walk it would have been fine, but was scooting on my a** and burned "that part" and my hands doing it And to @richieb ... yes; had guys lined up a couple of times, but no-one ever showed up ... guess $50 for a 15 minute job wasn't enough for them

Which I why I hire out the high wire work - a couple hundred bucks is Much cheaper monetarily and physically than falling from a ladder, roof, etc. A big reason I stopped putting up lights at Christmas - bah freakin' humbug ?!?

You been peeking in my mailbox? My wife is 10 years younger, she laughs when I get the AARP mail.

It is ALSO dated by its references to MTV...which has no music videos on it anymore.

It's like garlic. If both eat it, there's no problem.

Blackhawk overhead... gonna do what I do random change up got a crinkled smile from the wife last night when I proclaimed, "Eating onions cures bad breath!" nobody accused me of not trying to have a little fun. it good for ya

Well thanks for replies all, ended up ordering the Yamaha A-S801, seems to be a good bang for the buck in this price range - and Emotiva had 3+ months delivery. Currently borrowing my dads old Sherwood AD260B while waiting for the delivery, which i think sounds pretty nice on these speakers

I have worn it upside down (in my house, not in public). Interesting thing about the Breitling Cosmonaut is that it is a 24 hour watch. If you are not a total watch nerd you might be thinking aren't all watches? It has a 24 hour dial, not 12 so the hour hand only goes around once per day not twice. Not unique to Breitling there are lots of 24 hour dials out there....but the Breitling Cosmonaut was conceived by Scott Carpenter (2nd American to orbit the earth) as a way to distinguish day from night in outer space. Takes some getting used to, at noon the hands are straight up and down from each other so at a casual glance if you don't remember what watch you are wearing it looks like 6:00. Quick what time is it on this watch???

The other side has the information for both sides Apparently this LP can fetch from $250 up to $700 AU

I’ve been on television ... in color too. No, they didn’t invent color television just for me.

I do remember being the remote for my dad's TV, for all 3 channels, 4 when PBS was on.

how Steve tells time.... stomach growls time to eat.. can't keep eyes open...time to sleep

About the time of these guys, Captain Kangaroo and Mr Greenjeans, after looking them up they sure look stranger than when I was a kid.

Yeah Dave, I think you can still find plenty of three and five channel amps in the $500-$650 range depending on age and remaining warranty. If you use hifishark.com, buya.com, and searchtempest.com you can cover a lot of the bases for new listed amps for sale. Some of the best deals are buy it now offers where the seller is below market value and it becomes first come first served.

I picked up the XPA-5 from a nurse somewhere around Washington, DC. It was a XPA-5 Gen1. It was not a CL sale, some local ad site that someone alerted me to. @teaman is far better on Emotiva prices than I am, but I would budget around $600 for a used one. Tim, can you comment?

Cram it clown...

Loyola is playing well, hope they win. If Michigan plays liker this from now on....it's theirs.

SOLD to a very nice gentleman.

Very nice!

Substitute for our car getting totaled last week by an iphone and a user that didn't have their priorities straight.

Funny thing about efficient speakers... You do not NEED a lot of power, BUT the woofer ALWAYS knows what to do with the extra watts. And it is noticeable. “Commanding” is the word that comes to mind.

That looks much better than poop and needles. Sorry just trying to remind you why you moved so you don't go back. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Diseased-Streets-472430013.html As the Investigative Unit photographed nearly a dozen hypodermic needles scattered across one block, a group of preschool students happened to walk by on their way to an afternoon field trip to city hall. “We see poop, we see pee, we see needles, and we see trash,” said teacher Adelita Orellana. “Sometimes they ask what is it, and that’s a conversation that’s a little difficult to have with a 2-year old, but we just let them know that those things are full of germs, that they are dangerous, and they should never be touched.” In light of the dangerous conditions, part of Orellana’s responsibilities now include teaching young children how to avoid the contamination.

I did janitorial at the bowlng alley for a couple years. It was casual once they decided to do it my way. They had me scheduled to work 10PM - 6AM. It only took 3 or 4 hours to clean the place. Got them to change my hours to 4AM - Noon. That gave them 3 hours more useful time. I bartended, cooked, learned the desk, mechanic ... upper level mgt fought me the whole time. And I still had free time to socialize with the customers.

That actually sounds like a great idea!!! I have a Sunfire Cinema Grand amp that will paire great with the 83's for HT.

I didn't think the bottom plates looked right so I went with black and I think it looks much better. These took a very long time. I'm only just learning to build amps and only just learning woodworking. I am master of none but interested in all lol..... Now they are both done and tested. They are heading to one of the big systems this weekend.

Killer amp! And $250 is a no brainer. Go get it!

Rega planar 3(2016) and you can probaly afford a good cartridge with it.

Backwards. You’d be a time traveler then ... seriously, try it. Let me know when you do, I’d like to give you a list of things to tell the old me not to do.

You can post a WTB ad on the Emotiva Emporium. http://emotivalounge.proboards.com/board/50/wanted-buy

It's only depressing if you think of it that way. I think it's natural, and even funny. Of course I have laughed through life anyway. It's all hilarious, even when it sucks. After all, what are you going to do about it?

I did want to trust the doctor and always have, but the medicine made us question if it was right since the side affects were so bad and not just a chance, this was going to happen. That case was the only time I have heard more than one doctor say, you need to report this to the board.

And one with Alice Cooper

How do the pictures sound ?! Hope you don't think they already need the mandatory "upgrading" ?!?

congratulations ....I see you pulled the trigger .....on those klipschorns..

And my pants always get tighter when there's a horn sub in the room.
