The amount of Gold & Platinum records at Graceland is worth seeing. It's amazing. I've never seen that many Gold and Platinum records in one place.
Tony
Well said Tony.

Hmm, you seem a bit spicier since your visit to New Orleans, and I don't think it was the food...
It definitely was not the food...[

........"Also took dtel (and myself) to a "gentlemen's club".........
No, I don't think so.......Lynn had never been to such a place and she insisted.
We hit Show Bar around 2am. It was all that I could do to keep her off the stage!!!!
She later assaulted a police horse parked on the street.

Maybe you guys should come to New Orleans. They have a "gentlemen's club" that allows wives and girlfriends access to the stage and the "poles." I wanted to go to that club, but my niece's fiance was afraid I might take the stage and try the pole out.[
] If the "gentlemen's club" is too much, Lynn could still dance on the bar at Urban Cowboy. [H] They clear the bar every so often and let the ladies "take over".[
]We would be more than happy to show you guys around.
Well thanks.(I think)[
] But I don't think so. Maybe you and Lynn! Sounds like you two are cut from the same cloth. Me? Don't think that I would want to be involved with Two lunatics in that place.[li] God, that poor horse. Probably has been institutionalized.[]see you in Hope
tc
I don't consider myself to be a "lunatic", although others may.[
]Who knows you may enjoy being involved with "two lunatics" in "that place".[
] I am sure dtel would enjoy it.[]It's good to cut loose every once in a while, especially where no one knows who you are.
We are probably going to arrive in Hope on Wednesday night. We are looking forward to seeing everyone.

It doesn't appear that Hurricane Katrina affected Bourbon Street very much. There were a couple (maybe three) places that were locked up tight and appeared to be out of business.
The French Quarter did not experience any flooding.
We have been to Bourbon Street for Mardis Gras in the past (the last visit was about ten years ago) so Memorial Day Weekend seemed tame compared our past Mardis Gras experiences.
Let us know if you ever get down this way, we would be happy to show you around.

Are there going to be any female-specific activities, for the women-folk who aren't as into the audio scene as we are? Not necessarily talking about shopping at Walmart, or getting lap-dances from the Chippendales, but something in-between? Ooh, tea with Miss Valerie???
I realized you wrote this before my post about Bourbon Street in General Questions. Maybe we should take Miss Valerie to Chippendales for a lap dance and then have tea?[
]Just kidding. Who knows maybe Miss Valerie would like that?
-
Sounds like alot of fun.
"laissez les bons temps rouler!"
Dee, it was a total change of character for us, and a well needed break.
Dtel and I have agreed that we may have to visit Bourbon Street more often. We may even get a room at one of the hotels in the Quarter and make a weekend out of it. We also agreed that we need to start "stepping out" a little more often.
The great thing is you can dress up or dress down. We all dressed in jeans and shorts. Anything goes.
I must say I was a little surprised by the "gentlemen's club", I don't think I have ever been to one before. But...dtel and I will definitely be going again.
-
What a treat! We live an hour north of San Francisco, and rarely "play tourist" there. I think we'd do it more if we could find a parking space! Now, how about some tales of Beale Street? ;^)
Fini, we parked by the Riverwalk, strange enough at 6:00 a.m. there was no attendant to collect the parking fee. It wouldn't matter if the parking fee was ridiculously expensive, it would have been well worth it.[
]We really must plan a Klipsch get together in this area.

I certainly hope you two behaived yourselves?
We won't tell. Like I said "What happens on Bourbon Street stays on Bourbon Street!". [
] [<)]We didn't act too outrageous, my 21 year old niece and her fiance, as well as my 26 year old daughter and her fiance were with us.
But, "We did give them something to talk about.".

Just wanted to tell you guys that dtel and I went to Bourbon Street in New Orleans last night. That is something we haven't done in quite a few years, even though we are less than an hour away.
We listened to a couple of live bands, not that we can remember the names of any.[<
)][D]Also took dtel (and myself) to a "gentlemen's club".[
] We had a great time. Like my niece says, "What happens on Bourbon Street stays on Bourbon Street."[]After working up an appetite at the "gentlemen's club" we grabbed a bite to eat at "The Clover Grill" on St. Ann Street.
It would be an understatement to say we had a great time. We didn't make it home until after 6:00a.m.
We need to plan a Klipsch get together in New Orleans soon. You guys would love it.
I had forgotten how much fun it was to play tourist in New Orleans.[<

We have made two separate speaker purchases through e-bay.
We purchased two separate pairs of Forte II's from separate sellers. We were 110% satisfied with both purchases.
We followed the advice of our fellow forum members. If you are going to purchase from ebay, always, always pick them up yourself. Most legitimate ebay sellers will allow you pay after you have auditioned the speakers.
In addition, by picking them up yourself, you will have a "story" to tell us about your purchase.
Klipsch does have an ebay store that you may want to check out.

Come on Michael, you know me better, no "shrooms" for me.[N]
However, the "big triangle thingies that stand in the corner" do sound appealing. And..."the sound would come out and swirl around my head and make my spine tingle"...and "I could dance around" while listening to the "big triangle thingies" and then "I'd be really really really happy".[ip]
Now...all the indecision about speakers...I'll leave that to you! [
]Although...those LaScala's we had the pleasure of auditioning in our home (while holding them for a certain someone) sounded pretty awesome.[

Maybe you guys will have a better chance of convincing Amy to go to Hope.
We had one of these "Bring Amy to Hope Campaigns" when the pilgrimage was first announced. It didn't get off the ground at that time.
I hope Amy knows how much we all appreciate her contributions to this forum. It doesn't seem proper that she will not be attending.
If the pilgrimage is primarily for forum members, how can the administrator of the forum not attend?
-
If you have something in writing from Klipsch stating they no longer manufacture these speakers it would put you in a more favorable position with the shipper for reimbursement on both speakers. Speakers are generally sold as a pair, you purchased them as a pair, (even though they were in separate boxes), they were shipped as a pair and you can not purchase just one to replace the "pair".
-
Actually, Michael, I think we might be in the market for LaScala's[
]. What do you think? -
Okay, okay...hold on. I feel like I am on a drug induced trip here.
Speakerfritz the original Help post was written in 2005. I am not sure how you got a hold of the post a year later, but you did.
Since May of 2005 we have purchased two pairs of Forte II's and are looking for a third pair.
In addition, we would like to purchase a pair of Khorns, in the near future.
-
Way to go, Fini. I am glad you guys finally worked the most important leg of the trip out.
-
I do apologize if that quip sounded a little sarcastic. You guys have been really good to us since we have been members of this forum. Several of you actually made the purchase of our Forte II's possible.
Once again, Michael, thank you.[
] I knew I would have the opportunity to say that at least one more time.I actually thought the revival of this thread was hilarious.
-
Good thing we didn't wait for all of you to jump right on the request for help.
Actually, Michael we are looking for another pair of Forte II's and a pair of K-horns.

Have you ever been this tired?
This is our grandson around 12:00 Saturday night waiting for his midnight snack. I guess he was too tired to eat the snack.
I looked for him about five minutes after fixing his snack, because I didn't hear him. He usually talks non stop. I even went to his room looking for him before I found him slumped over the chair, sound asleep.
I resized the pic so maybe everyone can see without waiting forever for the download.

I have to admit...I am a fan of some of Elvis' music. I am not a fanatic, but definitely a fan. I did see him in concert shortly before he died.
Okay, okay, I'll admit when I was younger I watched every Elvis movie that came on television and I currrently own two of his CD's. Elvis Gold and one of his Christmas CD's.
When you see all of his gold and platinum albums displayed together it is remarkable.
And yes, the jungle room is...well, I can't really find a word or words that fit.
I can't remember how many yards of fabric are in the pool table room.
Maybe Tony and Colter have a different take on the house, but I did not find it to be "glitzy". It has a look all it's own.
The grounds are beautiful. I can see why Elvis was attracted to the property and always called it "home". The home was owned by a doctor before Elvis.
I have been trying to find a way to describe the gravesites, I guess "moving" may be the best description. I can't remember who besides Elvis is buried on the grounds. Maybe his aunt, his mother and his father are also buried there. The graves are located in one place, kind of like in a circle.
Like I said, IMO it is worth seeing at least once if you are in that part of the country.
IMO, you should exercise caution when travelling around Memphis at night.

I am sure there are tours that wouldn't take all day. The house is really something to see. Different, not "glitz and glamor". It actually is pretty "laid back and real", albeit overdone. The jungle room and the room with the pool table are "different". The most glitzy thing was the white living room furniture. Actually, Graceland was Elvis' escape from the "glitz and glamor".
I know what you mean about laid back and real, that is how dtel and I are. That being said, I would definitely try to see Graceland just because of the history involved.
The gravesites are on the grounds of Graceland. The museum on the grounds is really something, when you see all of his gold and platinum albums lined up.
The airplanes(the Lisa Marie and another) are across the street. That part was pretty neat.
Graceland is more "see it at least once and that is enough".
I will never forget, my youngest daughter was about ten years old when we toured Graceland. She was and still is a devout Elvis fan. She asked if when she grew up she could be a maid at Graceland, so she could see the upstairs rooms. At the time we toured the house, the upstairs (bedroom area)was still off limits for tours.
Another thing, be sure to sign your names on the entranceway, everyone does.
The Smoky Mountains are more our thing, especially when you get away from Dollywood and all the "tourist traps". Whatever you do, be sure to make the trip to Cades Cove, it is one of our favorite places in the mountains. Also, Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail, just a couple of blocks outside Gatlinburg. It feels like a different world.
We have been taking our daughters to the Smokies every year since they were four, five and six. They are 26, 25 and 24 and still look forward to the trip every year. They actually trick dtel into going most years, by saying "Buddy, Allie and Gracie really want you to come and you know Mom wants to go". That's our granchildren. Dtel can't tell the grandkids or me no to anything, so we load up and make the trip at least once a year.

For almost two weeks I have been thinking about what my answer would be.
While driving to town this morning...Tina Turner/Simply the Best...and Tina Turner/Private Dancer. Real cool sound. I am not a big fan of Tina Turner's music, but I really do like those two songs.
We saw her in concert a couple of years ago, talk about a performance! She is something to see on stage.

Excuse me Tom, it was I who gave that last bit of advice.
It is not critical to kill the weeds before the sand/sod goes down.
However, depending on the type of weeds you may have remaining after your final grade, it may be recommended. Weeds such as Johnson Grass are extremely hard to control, even when smothered. Round Up Quick Dry is a very good product for weed control.
If I recall correctly, it contains 71% glyophosphate, the active ingredient in most weed killers. It is a dry powder, available in individual packs, which make one gallon of spray. Or you can purchase a box with five packs/five gallons for approximaely $15.00. As with all weed killers, the weeds should be actively growing (not in a drought).
You could contact the nearest Ewing Irrigation Supply Store, they also offer the services Tom mentioned. Be careful, some of the "pop up" Hunter heads have been experiencing a problem with weak springs. Also, according to our local Ewing dealer some of the Hunter control boxes have been experiencing "fog-out" with the LED displays(both indoor and outdoor controls)
I am not a big fan of Rainbird products, but we recently switched to Rainbird control boxes and Rainbird pop-ups. We still use Hunter solenoids and rotor sprinker heads.
Whether you install your own system, or have it professionally installed, make sure you purchase a control box that is "automatic".
If I recall correctly you said your lot is 1/4 acre. Roughly speaking, very roughly speaking...45-50lbs of pressure, with a one inch main, nine zones...wholesale cost for all materials should be roughly $1000.00 plus or minus.
Actually, the pipe Tom mentions is better for irrigation systems, the water flow is better with the above mentioned pipe.
Irrigation systems are "way cool" as my five year old grandson would say. Not to mention, the grass and plants are much happier when they are given good soil, water, and little fertilizer.

I have never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing this with us. I guess the crooks will find a way, no matter what.
