    I am looking for a position closer to "guest of honor" than point person. Sounds like work, which is all I have done this awful freakin' year.

    LOL, i believe many of us have had that kind of year, i could write a short story on it.  You did however manage to haul gear to a cabin and have a weekend party, so I think you could manage a ride to look at a venue.  Sounds like the event might do you some good, but I have no objection in getting you a little princess tiara to wear and you can sit on Carls lap.  Jerry will be mad, but, I'll bring a bourbon pacifier.  You are gonna fit right in.

    NAG (SWAG2) Looking for the perfect location 2021

    Good Morning 

    I want to start a discussion about another audio gathering and looking for the next "perfect" location.  Right now, it's wide open, and at its initial concept, this was intended to move around.  I'm going to lay out a wish list, and hope to hear from members that are interested and may already know of, or find the next spot.

    1.  Max. 1 hr. from sizeable airport.

    2.  Secluded enough to allow music at the volumes we played.

    3.  Sizeable pavilion that would allow people and gear to remain protected from the elements.

    4.  At least 1 indoor area, that wasn't as acoustically challenged as the barn.

    5.  Accommodations onsite. (Cabins, huge home)

    6.  Cooking areas

    7.  Alcohol permitted

    8.  Easy to find for Carl  

    9.  Affordable 

    10. The location and available accommodations will have bearing on the number of possible attendees, but really not looking for big, looking for social without strings.

    ****There is no official title, NAG was something for the title.

     

    What's in your area, or what can you find?  Keep in mind, that if you find it, and it's in close proximity to you, it will make you the point person.

     

    I really think we will be past all of the great things that 2020 brought to our doors, especially if we look at the same time of year, depending on location and weather.  Looking forward to the next one and seeing everyone.

    Parental Phrases

    Posted

    When I didn't want what mom made for supper it was a couple of different phrases. 

    1.  Think about all the starving kids in Africa.

    **I can't tell you how many times I suggested they should send the food there and help out those kids.

    2.  You're going to sit there until your finished, even if it takes all night.

    ** Never ate it anyway, but there were some late nights.

     

    Needless to say, I got my *** beat more than once and saying "that didn't hurt", "are you done yet" or "is that all you got" never shortened the duration, but eventually broke their will. LOL

    I also learned how to cook at an early age to have some options.

    Penn State seems determined to go 0 - 5 for the first time in its history.

    I've been saying for a few years, Franklin was way overrated as a coach and recruiter, they have no quarterback that can help them compete with other top tier programs, and should have never signed him to an extended contract, and it's got a spot light on it now.  Sad times in Happy Valley.

    Sincere concerns for those that have family members that are positive, for what it's worth, I don't want to see anyone get this, but it's everywhere.  Waiting for them to cancel my shoulder surgery in a couple weeks, I hope not, but that is my expectation at this point.

    Jokes?

    A family was driving behind a garbage truck when a dildo flies out and thumped against the windshield. Embarrassed, and to spare her young son's innocence, the mother turns around and says, "Don't worry, dear. That was just an insect." "Wow," the boy replies. "I'm surprised it could get off the ground with a cock like that!"

    SIP's   trickled over from the Precast  industry  ,  with wood , it's light  /strong  -

     

     

    I probably average about 20-30 precast foundations a year.  It's the only thing I'll even quote.  I've been using them for over 30 years.

    Very interesting product , any brand in particular ? ---

     

    we see these a lot in cold stores  ,  more so  , up in Canada  --

    There are a lot of manufacturers and typically, it's about which company is closer and offers the specific panels that you're looking for.  ACME is out of Virginia and you can get there panels with MgO installed, which has some specific applications, but all of the SIPs are pretty much the same.  20 years ago, I convinced a modular manufacturer to build some homes using the panels and as most other things go, the average consumer won't spend the additional funds upfront, to save over the long run, or pay for the structural advantages.  They are used a lot in Post Frame construction, and as soon as I settle in on a property, my construction building will be built using all SIPs.

    It will be nice to have some room to work, I was reading about insulation last night, that was one of them, I didn't like the normal insulation plus it makes putting the sheatin on much harder.

    You can also look at SIPs panels.  Simple, quick, extremely strong and it's your insulation and sheeting all in one.

    Thanks Eric.  This one isn't my choice. She wants things done to the place now that I don't have the cash for. Trying to maintain peace in the household.  They will be replaced in a year or so... 

    Keep her happy.  GLWTS

    "new to me" Technics 1200 MKII from Pete H.

    I recently purchased a "new to me" Technics 1200 MKii with a Shure m97XE cartridge from fellow Klipsch Forum member Pete H. He packed it better than I have seen anything ever packed for shipping and it arrived flawless as has everything I have bought from Dave A and Claude. The turntable looks BRAND new and after quickly setting it up it sounds really good. Perhaps as good as my fully restored Dual 1229 with a V15 Type 3 cartridge and Jico SAS stylus. I will have to spend some hours playing many of my favorite records but I just wanted to share the great experience I had with this purchase and the amazing packing job Pete did with this precision Turntable! Kudos!

    I was very relived to listen to your message on Friday night that it arrived safely, and that you have no regrets.  I've heard many people criticise that turntable, and it's nice to see someone that has another table be able to give a real opinion.  Bottom line to me is always, if it sounds good to you, then it's good.  We'll be taking soon.
