This is my pic of billybob

Ugh! Almost ready for another mugga then it's off to the dog park w/my daughter's dog... Decisions, decisions... Then a stop at Tim Horton's so she can jump in the drive-thru window and get her donut holes. Yup, they love her so pop went the weasel one morning... She actually brought me both the ball and stick one morning... Two trips and couldn't make up her mind as to what she wanted me to throw... lol

All my recent pics disappeared! postimg.org changed gotta figure out the postimg.cc changes First coffee is long gone.... Like the hobbits we do first, second, elevensies.......

Where's all the morning coffee drinkers ?... It must be tea time... Or everyone is tee-ing off On the golf course.... With a cooler filled with beer and ice...

This one about 200mm same lens.

Yea when the poop starts leaking out its pretty much all downhill from there

The vegetable garden is like me, not pretty but works. I didn't even clean it out from last year and we did not plant a winter garden this winter. You can see the size that the eggplants got last summer on the left, they were big. Some of the tomato stakes came out, I started using pvc it last forever instead of wood or metal. We use to have BIG gardens but we were killing ourselves trying to keep it up only to give away most of it, so it's much more fun to have a small one. A pic of the dirt, which is NO dirt just 100% old horse manure, always loose and plants seem to love it.

That's funny. I did the same for years with my mother, I watched her for 5 years, it's part of why we started working from home. Doing both was one of the best things we have done, we promised her she wouldn't go in a home. My sister built a house a couple miles from here and would take her home at night and bring her here in the morning. Now that's it's over were glad to have done that for her, anything she had went to building there new house and she got to live in for a few years at night plus see the grandkids much more staying here during the day.

--- Funny, that's what my ex said about me - " I do miss that horse " --?!?

I've been up for too long already. Since 2AM. not gonna complain .. I am still above ground. Mike, do you get up in the middle of the night for a cuppa? If I am up early, I can down a cup or two and go back to bed. Just didn't today shoveling chit? done a little of that, but when I was doing maintenance at a campground, their sewage system took sand, Sludge pump would only pull so much out of the tanks and, guess what??? We got to go down and bail. One of "us" in the tank, filling buckets and others hoisted them up/out. Real fun for the one in the tank

Totally agree with you. In my few hobbies I never get enough money to fulfill several desires, including photography. For me it would be very nice to have capable digital body, presumably with do-it-all zoom nice glass. But these things cost still too much, plus there are other issues like dependability etc. That is why I settled with old Nikon 35mm and some mid-format film cameras. Cheap to buy and I do not shoot to much to keep film development and scanning cost at acceptable levels. It is a lot of fun and not too costly. Most of the time i have around 1,5 - 2 kilos on my shoulder, which is acceptable. I see how Nikon F2 and several prime lenses of that era can be a burden, put in the bag spare body and a couple of other things and you are done for that day . But I do not have a need for that sort of things. For example, recently I have been for a few days walking around the Lisbon with just Nikon F80+battery pack and a 28-85mm zoom and Nikon sb30 small flash. Camera was in the holster and a flash on my belt. Easy to walk around and never tiresome. This one is from the deck of a sightseeing bus. No need for VR. For occasional snap smartphone camera is enough.

Chicken poop isn't fun to clean....nasty creatures.

Gonna pass along these Khorns I picked up from a Forum member Erik ~2012. There is a little history on the finish; something about the prior owner inherited from his dad; he and his wife tried to finish them with average success; Erik cleaned them up best he could at the time. Anyhow, they are not all that bad, and they are solid on the performance side. Gonna pass them on for hopefully a quick sale. Gotta down-size for a little while. $1200 firm. Will deliver or meet within a reasonable distance in Houston and surrounding. Can also bring to Pilgrimage in May and hand off there. Will hopefully get more photos this weekend.

That's what I would do, I made a simple frame with 2x4's that have wheels on them and the MWM sits on it and they roll easily. Plus I have forks for the tractor so I just scoop them up and move them into the yard for for parties, works great. This is not 1900's for sure, its factory built bass bins I got to measure to make the MWM's from Oak hardwood plywood for the living room with 402 horns. After I was done measuring these bins were extra so I made a yard setup, which will go in my new shop when I build it. It's like a diy split LaScala on top with aa crossovers in the top cabinet with one single MWM bin for each top, and it sounds good. Here is a pic taking them out to put in the yard, you can somewhat see the frame under them with wheels.

These are now pending sale and delivery...

Only a few flowers left on the Azaleas now and about time to trim and fertilize them. I only used the chicken poop around trees, that stuff is so hot even a few years old it will still fry vegetable plants. Only used old horse poop for vegetables, that raised bed is so nice it never packs and everything grows like crazy. No chemicals needed, I stick the vegetable plants in it and mulch thick with a bunch or pine needles to keep out weeds out and that's it, it's even has it's own zone on the sprinkler system. We were just talking about planting it last night, I waited since the weather has been strange this year, I was worried about a late frost, tomatoes and eggplant for sure, don't know what else if anything.

Hi Cody - I will take them - I am in Houston on the Westside. I will send a PM also. Thanks!

My replacement? Noooooo.

It's always the guys bragging about how big.................nevermind! Cocktails at dawn? Hiring?

Hey Chuck! I wish I was there right now. I'm in Gresham Oregon doing a job. Right now it's 41 degrees and raining. How's the Keb Mo tape coming?

bought the monolith 3x200, they are in stock

I'm right down the road but have no place in the house to put them. Good luck with your sale! Looks to be a really good deal.

Azalea Festival weekend.......thousands come to the port city Azaleas bloomed a little early because of the warm weather. dtel that chicken manure will cause those maters to grow so fast that they often split as I'm sure you've found. Don't want to use that stuff till it ages.

If you would, you might try reaching out to @Maximus89. He's in Houston.

--- and collecting the check is the best part for showing up.

Glad to help. This talk will be over cocktails I'm assuming?

--- That seals it, I've got to get to Hope. You and I need to have a talk ---?!?

Fixed it for you.

Chuck is most likely fishing

We already done that...

Oh funny! Probably not THAT good at baseball (a game he loves by the way), but he is an excellent A+ student.

It's so true Elden. 6' tall, 14 years old, and he has no idea his potential.

I don't miss the ex, but I do miss those horses.

I don't think anything is out of line with this crowd, next it will be about women's lingerie

Your a good Dad, she is lucky to have you, and not just about this last event.

That was my favorite, love the dirt flying and his face as he slides. Looking at the first one, my first thought was, he son is growing up.

Nice shot!

This ^ I (< that's me) deal with things made in China, every day. Most of it is industrial equipment used in our research center. They are very well known to steal ideas, produce and market inferior products using stolen ideas with no R&D expenses all the way down to producing flaws in the original part, and doing do with Chinese government subsidies which are partially funded by US tax payers from the interest paid on loans from China by our gooberment. At work, I am chasing down circuit issues on a new corrosion test machine that I haven't even powered up yet.

Thanks for the head's up! I'm hoping to pick these up.

--- kinda neat how a comment can go sideways, more like a right angle. My dislike of shoveling snow has taken us to shoveling pounds, if not tons, of chicken shite ?! Never a better case of a post going to shite --?!?!

I've done a lot of that. My last house was on 5 acres, 60x100 horse barn, and 3 horses. The manure I shoveled was on top of wood shavings, so it was easy with a muck rake

I am happy now after playing that song

Speaking of coffee. This is my coffee of choice these days. From Costco. 3 pounds for $13.99.

Otis:

A deal like this doesn't pop up in NM often... I messaged the seller and I'm trying to set up a time to go get these puppies.

I would cover the front of the grille on the top hat with something very clean and dust free to keep contaminants out of the tweeter and midrange. Don't let the wind blow into the top hat grille. I don't know whether these drivers have much of a stray magnetic field, but I have seen many other speakers with the outline of the speakers on the grille cloth, because of the magnetic field gathering iron containing dust. The top hats can be delicate. Don't turn the whole Khorn upside down. 4 hands or 6 Don't let anyone wear a toolbelt, or carry tools, or have exposed belt buckles to scratch the veneer or rip the grille cloth. Clean freight blankets, for sure!

Over compress and raise the over all level. Everything equally loud .That is NOT how real music sounds. I know I'm preachin' to the choir.

overfix things?

Those Mastering guys think "pretty" highly of themselves, I guess huh? Maybe back in the day but nowadays most of their work is garbage IMHO.
