Couldn't resist. Reasonable miles. Had to deal with a few little things - to be expected on an 18 or so year old car. But it is an old school pre Chrysler Benz. Very well put together!

Good point/s.

One thing it true however - they ( like pretty much every team) have had issues with the “new” breed of extremely mobile QBs. Their pass rush can really frustrate a classic drop back passer but a running and improviser can be problematic. It will be a tough game because of KC’s QB but I do think they will prevail.

Jimmy G will have to pass for more than 100 yards if he's going to be the MVP. Jest sayin'. 😎
This is a tough matchup to call. I'm going to go with the better quarterback and pick KC for the win.
When has had to pass he has and will. But why bother than you can run the ball the way that the niners have. So yes the KC QB is Great. But don’t underestimate Jimmy G. Also note that the niners have the best pass defense in the league and close to the best running game. KC has the worst pass defense and a suspect run defense. If the KC somehow contains the sf running game Jimmy G can make up for that. See the two games versus the cardinals. Cardinals have a solid run defense and were able to limit the niners run game ( our two all pro lineman were out) . So what did jimmy do averaged 370 yards in the two wins. See also him out dueling Drew B in the Dome. Not many have done that!

Possible but here is an important fact.
Of the 4 games the Chiefs lost this season, the points difference was never more than 7.

I'm thinking Chiefs over 49ers 21-14 in Super Bowl. What you think?
Trying to understand why you would think that. I admit to being a long term niner fan but I’m also a realist. The niners will clobber the chiefs. Better defense better offense and better special teams and yes a better coach.

I have not tried the Myabi knives. But I am a huge fan of Japanese knives. I have a set of Shun premier knives that are the best I have ever used. Never really sure why I have a set! I tend to just use one knife. The Japanese version of the chefs knife. I can pretty much do most everything with the one blade.

I don't know anything about the unit..but it sounds like you are using the iPad as the source and getting that music to the player using bluetooth. The better way would be to use the apple airplay which I would be surprised if the Marantz isn't compatible. I would also think that you can use the Marantz as the source and the iPad as a controller. Figuring out that approach would be best.

I am using a server that is a purpose built fanless windows computer with the music stored on a nas. Streaming service is Tidal with Roon organizing it all. DAC is a benchmark Benchmark DAC 3.
Doing it over I would probably go the NUC route or something prebuilt from small green computers.

I don't have any issues with the players on the list but would certainly have a different top 10 list of my own!

I picked up a pair of pristine decorator Cornwalls at a Pawn Shop in Waco.
Mine were new decorators. $800.00 if I remember correctly. Paid a hundred bucks in cash, put $300 on a credit card and financed the rest through the store.

My dryer has a alarm so I will most likely just use the blower until this doesn't clear the alarm and then replace the whole run. As long as the dryer is getting good and hot your probably ok. Its when the dryer runs cool you have too much blockage. If you listen to this and your house burns down don't sue me though! This method will either get me to the grave or put me in a early one. Max 2 how often do you do the cleaning method you said you use? I hate getting in the crawlspace anymore but I would have to get under the house to use the tool Max2 uses. My pipe is like 5 years old. I will most likely just let the hv/ac guy replace it in a few years and charge me way to much. Its still cheaper than going to the laundry.
21 hours ago, Max2 said:i have about 15 rods and deal with vents that run over 30 feet. Just chuck it in your portable drill, high speed and it will chew all the lint off that the humid, warm air basically glues to the inside of the tube. The leaf blower will only get rid of the dry clumped matter. The kit also comes with a rough bit to chew through what ever Rats have packed in the there. I had one where they chewed through the louvered cover and packed roofing paper and tons of garb in there and it was a tough one for sure. They carried it all the way to the beginning of the tube with involved a sharp 90 degree turn through the slab. That was a warm spot for them that winter. And of course the laundry area was in the center of the house which didnt make things easier.
Sometimes I have to start from outside and push it all towards the the vent inlet indoors and use a shop vac to pull out the funk. Those rods are very flexible and durable. That kit has never failed getting the job done. Just dont reverse your drill as each rod section is threaded !
I have had similar a similar experience. I used the blower before I had the rods that fit on the drill. I used the rods after the blower and was amazed at the amount of lint that remained after the blower approach. I clean with the rod and drill system approximately once a year. And have not had a major blockage since doing so.

I did buy my first Cornwall’s in 1978 at a store that sold some audio equipment but also refrigerators and washing machines.

There is no good " robot vacuum ".
In my extensive direct experience, over three decades, there is no vacuum that uses a dry porous filter, on the face of this earth, that is worthwhile to own, or can ever possibly clean any home well.
Why ?? They all do three bad things, (1) they all stink, (2) they all leak dust out their exhaust, and (3) they ALL plug up their porous filters, losing their airflow and thus, losing their cleaning power.
There are absolutely NO exceptions to these three design flaws, with any and every porous-filter-vacuum ever made !!
There exists only one vacuum, made by Rexair since 1936, that can possibly clean a home well, and that one is beautifully-made and uses water as its main filter. Its called a Rainbow SRX.

Sounds like someone has sold rainbow vacuums door to door.

I have a very long dryer vent run and have used the blower method and the cleaning system - using something very similar to what is in the link above. From my experience the cleaning system works great for routine cleaning. This reminds me, I should probably do a routine cleaning!

I wouldn't say you overdid it in your processing of this image at all. It appears to me the contrast was reduced slightly for better definition. A technique I frequently use in Gimp. Color saturation and contrast, my two fav tools in PP.
Thanks! Reducing the photo to under 2mbs does change the way the photo presents itself. And I was looking to give it that magical and not completely natural look.

That's not natural coloring is it?

Not completely natural but pretty close. Here is an version that hasnt been computer enhanced. Still figuring out the computer thing for photography. I tend to "over do" it!

I’m not familiar with the Bonavita but I am a big fan of the Technivorm . We have had one for about 5 years and it doesn’t disappoint. Went through a ton of other drip machines and none delivered a drinkable cup of coffee. We have owned breville, Cuisinart , Braun, and a bunch I don’t remember. The Technivorm is in another league all together. I will be interested to hear how you like the Bonavita.

Anyone here versed on 60's console stereos?
in Lounge
Posted
Don’t know a lot about consoles. I picked this up at an estate sale for 40 dollars. There was an excellent condition Fisher 400 receiver in it and the speakers are a two way JBL ‘s The turntable and reel to reel were not that great. I added a CD player and it sounds really really good. Not a bad buy!
