Ok one last spin Yea I know I’m a tragic to get a last minute spin in Brian Eno Before and after Science

In America everything is compared to a football field. Would 300 liters per square meter make it to the 10 yard line, midfield, or cover the entire field? 😂

Thanks so much John and friends! There are a bunch more LAVA in storage, but, each shelf is by year and model. Two in the center top are from ENGLAND (Mathmos) which is the ORIGINAL lamp of this type. Lava/Simplex company came on the scene 2 years later in 1965. I had to pick up a special 240 volt power supply to power them. Anyway, I was a serious collector back in the 90ies. But now, to light that entire display is 1100watts and makes a HUGE amount of radiant heat. So, I only put a few on at a time. There then is the Lava Lamp collection lesson. 😊 I DO have a photo from a long time ago of the entire setup lighted. Perhaps, if you are interested, I could did that up. VERY colorful for sure.

Hope everything goes well mate and let me tell you that the rehab exercises are very important to a quicker recovery As an example - wife had new knee replacement surgery and because she did not miss any exercises she was running in six months instead of a year To keep you amused I can post some holiday photos that are of a musical genre Leaving in about 4 hours

We have the longest rain period since 1995 here , more than 300 liters per squaremetre and there isn´t any end forecasted ! So there was a lot of time this afternoon and evening to listen to : Raul de Souza " Sweet Lucy " followed by Spyro Gyra " Morning Dance " than Marvin Gaye " I want you " ..btw beautiful cover art work ! and on white vinyl

Just a few from yesterday's run. Crazy day today cause I'm loadin up again! Watchin a bit of college hoops, volume down and cookin with gas! Straight Shooter is the second studio album by the English hard rock supergroup Bad Company. The album was released on 28 March 1975.[5] The album reached number 3 on both the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200.[6][7] It was certified gold (500,000 units sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America a month after its release.[8] The album was remastered and re-released in 1994. The track "Shooting Star" (written by lead singer Paul Rodgers) was lyrically inspired by the drug and alcohol-related deaths of guitarist Jimi Hendrix and other rock musicians. Full Moon Fever is the debut solo studio album by Tom Petty, released on April 24, 1989, by MCA Records. It features contributions from members of his band the Heartbreakers, notably Mike Campbell, as well as Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison (who died prior to its release), and George Harrison, Petty's bandmates in the Traveling Wilburys.[2][3] The record shows Petty exploring his musical roots with nods to his influences.[4] The songwriting is mainly collaborations between Petty and Lynne, who was also a producer on the album. Full Moon Fever became a commercial and critical success, peaking at No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard 200 and being certified 5× platinum in the United States and 6× platinum in Canada.[5][6][7] Cheap Thrills is the second studio album by American rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company, issued by Columbia Records in 1968. Cheap Thrills was the band's final album with lead singer Janis Joplin before she left to begin a solo career. For Cheap Thrills, the band and producer John Simon incorporated recordings of crowd noises to give the impression of a live album, for which it was subsequently mistaken by many listeners. Only "Ball and Chain" was actually recorded in concert at the Winterland Ballroom.[2][3] Cheap Thrills reached number one on the charts for eight nonconsecutive weeks in 1968. If you ain't got it ya darn sure better git it! Classic and Janis is ahhhhmazing! Sometimes You Win is a studio album by the American band Dr. Hook, released in 1979. It was produced by Ron Haffkine.[2] The album contains three of the band's most commercially successful singles: "When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (also included on their previous album Pleasure and Pain), "Better Love Next Time" and "Sexy Eyes."

Interesting picks !

Here they are

I'll change the subject ... this sounds like a bunch of old people ... Got adventurous and fired up the Oldsmobile. After charging the battery for 2 days, it needed to have a basic problem fixed. Too much air in the fuel tank and not enough air in the tires. I was lucky the fuel didn't go stale. Took her for a little cruise ... a few miles. I can't say that I don't like the soft ride it offers. It is a comfortable car.

It takes a fast car, lady, to lead a double life It takes a slow star, lady, if you wanna do it twice You take your backseat rumble, take your front seat wife Takes a fast car, lady, to lead a double life It takes a light foot, lady, to lead a double life It takes a good book, maybe, if you wanna do it nice When you idle at the stop light, better get the signal right Light foot, lady, you need a double life White label promo. Acoustics are A+++!!!

Big rides long gone. Seen a Jeep lately? A pickup? They're absurd.

Been a while, first tune on this one could be a great phone alarm! pulls up at one of their jazz tinged jams He left his earlier music behind when he got his "White Chip" so to speak. Quit playing some of our faves the last couple decades before he went home 7/6/20. That's how it started with the coffee and laundry earlier. Now I'm up and pinballing around.

Those big rides are long gone. That was half the fun of cruisin back in the day. Could drive forever and then... 😂

Oh Yeah, and you know that is what their niche in GM was long ago. Even their late 60s 4-4-2s had a good ride. But you'd better have enough air in the tires to handle the roadways! Being a youngster was a lot of fun!

Bad Co >>> Susanna 🤩😍

My late wife had an early '70s Datsun 1200. Not long after she got that, I was able to get a Datsun 620 pickup (I think), maybe 1974. Those were great vehicles.

Have a few of them just like you prolly do as well as everyone else. Never heard of a few of them. They all have 'em I'm sure. Interesting for sure though.

Bolts replaced? What's with that? Friends wife has a Z4 and loves it when she gets it outta the garage. Part of their collection. Guy is passionate about all the rides in his stable. 3 Porsches, the Z4 convertible and a new red vette w/maybe 50 miles on it. He's gonna turn the vette and make some chump change. I'm waitin on him to finish his old Lotus rebuild. Bouight it in boxes from the original owner who bit off more than he could chew. It's been sittin in the garage for him to tinker with for 20 years or more. lol Almost like us upgrading our rigs.

Thank you HD.

No, no and no. Woke up to about 3 inches of fluffy stuff. 50's yesterday. Go figure. Gonna sit back and watch it melt. High of 31 today and 50 tomorrow? Tuesday's high is 55? It's springtime around here. Coffee's on then I'm gonna relax, nose a bit and fire the rig up. I'm gettin the itch and want to open this place up but it's still too early. Just another day at the office.

I recall everybody loved workin' on their Datsuns back then. It was always to "improve"... drivability, handling, heat the fuel line in the wintertime. Endless possibilities that were all cheap!! The `88 if you got a good`un, KEEP IT!

I have an 88. Not so big. The boy's MustangGT was the same size. This car has a few cross-country trips on her. the most fun car I've has was a '71 Datsun 510. That little car would go anywhere you pointed it

One thing about driving in the dark---you know where all the cars are within microseconds by the headlight/taillight positions. Not so in the daytime. JJK

I stopped night driving unless absolutely necessary. Then I had cataract surgery. Viola! I can see again!

Hard to follow @Dave1291 that. Lost flops dancing. Hot cat. No men magnet:

Wow! I'm so old, I can't remember the last time I drove after dark. 😁

This is a pic my SIL had posted (she's in Colorado Springs). They are all taking rest in her front yard.

I will need to drive 2 hours to pick up new Cornwalls to avoid shipping and taxes. I would like to know the dimensions of the factory boxes so I don't run into issues with them not fitting in my SUV. I can not find info on the boxes anywhere on the web. If anyone still has the boxes Please let me know the dimensions. Thank you.

Yup that's a crappy *** remaster. Either get the original CD or vinyl. Those sound wonderful. All the original 7 Iron Maiden CD's except Piece of Mind sound very good. Original vinyl is excellent but the cds will do for less price. Get the CD's before they shoot up in price. The 1995 Castle 2 cd versions contain the original excellent masterings. All other cd masterings of Maiden are pretty bad. This is mostly true of all classic metal, Judas Priest and Metallica for example.

Cool, so actually moveable by a couple human beans

Ok, I've absent for a bit, however, just a couple days ago, I had the idea to try moving some speakers around. And after HURKING these 72 lbs. speakers up a flight of stairs (you ought to try that when you are in your 70ies ), there is a revelation !!! The Forte 4's are a totally different speaker up here in the cozy room, and the B&O Beogram 6500 system luckily and happily is an amazing matchup! Why? I can't say, but the sound is so much warmer, low end that shakes the room and floor like a pair of subwoofers! Here are a some brand new photos from this morning. I have them pulled out from the front wall 2 feet after much testing with a 28Hz. tone test and my DB-C weighted meter. Just like in the large room on the first floor, and other reviewers have found out, these get deeper in the lower range when pulled away from the wall. They are also 8.5 feet center to center and the two love seats are 11 feet from the speakers. I included a photo of the space BEHIND the listening area which is pretty much totally open. Here you go: with and without grills.....

starting off with a bit of gold...

@Speed beats seeing him in my headlights about 2AM!

To quote a good movie..... Some people are Catholics, some are Baptists, I am an Oldsmobile man.

43 1/2 tall x 30 wide x20 1/2 deep x 2. they should fit in your suv. But I took my truck just in case.

I got to stay..nobody else will have me..

Oh yeah..one more thing..not only did I have this same crackling on my Klipsch's, my paradigms but also my cheaper speakers I had with my first HT. That is why I think its the source. I have been thinking about hooking up my Fortes to try to see if they give the same sounds.

I have had the same problem. I have came to the conclusion that its the source material most of the time. I have another HT set-up in my basement with smaller paradigms and a cheap receiver. I can hear the same "distortion" while playing it through this set-up as well as my RC-3. I think I hear it more because I play the klipsch's louder and also they reveal more of the sound. Just my thoughts.

Flashon, sounds good. Can I email you the first week in May about arrangements if you are still wanting to sell it?

Looks good Flason. I will be running it with my Fortes. Any work needed on it? And how much do you think shipping is to Pittsburgh from your location?

Hey Rob, thanks. If you get an offer, don't wait for me, but I definately will review my funds. A great pair of speakers AND free delivery?..how can I pass this up?

I live in Pittsburgh and would love to purchase them. But cash is tight right now. I would need to do someting with my Fortes too.
