Glad you are better, but ICU doesn't sound so good. Have you been hospitalized since Friday?

Scott LK-72.

I just received notification that my first shot is scheduled for Thursday. I signed up in early February.

Those are really nice. I'm sure Kirby would have been delighted at how they turned out.

That always confuses me when something has a steering wheel and more than one seat LOL! One person drives, and the other person hangs on for dear life!

My wife wanted this more than I, in fact it was her idea to get it. Of course I didn't argue. I think we got a good deal. It's a 2019 model with 8 hours on it, for half the cost of a brand new one.

Sure, you can even drive it!

Picked up this rig today. It actually has an AM/FM/Bluetooth stereo.

If you don't want to spend a fortune, the Sony studio monitor wired headphones may be a good bang for the buck. I've had the Sony MDR-V6 for over 15 years, and while not really high end, they do well enough. That model was discontinued (although still available through Amazon). The replacement is apparently the MDR-7506 and goes for about $100 (I've not actually listened to those).

Exactly one year ago today, my family departed NYC, returning from a Spring Break trip to see the sights. Nothing was shut down in the city while we were there, nobody wearing masks yet, etc., but LaGuardia Airport traffic seemed really light already. That may have been the last day of the pre-Covid way of life. What a crazy year this has been.

At the SWAG last September. Kirby seated on the left (with @Seadog, @Pete H, @babadono, @CECAA850, @Ceptorman)

Kirby.

I was shocked and saddened to hear this news. Kirby was truly a great guy, and I really enjoyed getting to know him at the audio gathering in September. We were the same age, and we had a lot in common. He was local to my area, and we had talked of plans to get together this Spring and spend some time boating on Lake Grapevine. Condolences and prayers go out to his family in this time of sorrow. RIP Kirby Smith.

And your pulled pork was awesome. Brisket will be on the menu next time.

I hate it when my wife does crazy stuff like that!

Fixed it for you! Looking forward to those waffles.

A lifting of the Mask Mandate is not the same thing as a No Mask Mandate.

Can you audition both the III's and the IV's and decide if the extra $$$ is worth it to you? I've heard the IIIs, but not the IV's. But based on my impression of the III's and what I have heard and read about the IV's, I would get the IV's and not look back. The Pioneer will be great for a while until you get the bug to do something different. It's your money so it is real easy for me to say get the IV's.

RIP.

I like the way the Nikon D700 renders colors. I know it is ancient in terms of digital technology (2008) and only 12 MB, but I like the images it produces. These shots were taken in various places around Vancouver while on a family vacation in 2018.

That's just about like my old Lloyds. Of course I was just kidding about using something like that on K-horns, but I did hook it up once to a pair of Cerwin Vega speakers and it cranked them pretty good.

Oh no, the best would have to be a Lloyds receiver with integrated 8-track and turntable, my very first stereo, Christmas 1970. If I still had it, I would definitely use it to power my K-horns.

.. also from NY..

The 1968 Chris Craft engines, carbs and gas tanks in my boat don't do well with ethanol gas, but I can't by non-ethanol gas on the lake. It is against the marina rules to bring fuel in cans or tanks and refuel in the slip. I wish at least one of the three marinas with fuel docks would carry real gasoline. I would gladly pay a premium for that.

Economic talk often turns political when one doesn't understand economics (not aimed at anyone in particular).
