  1. As most of you know there was a shooting at Roseburg's local community college. Although this happened less then 15 miles from home, I can't tell anyone anything that is not in the News. I can request that we not add to the 15 minutes of fame that these shooters expect to get. I do fully support our County Sheriff's choice to not to add to the shooter's fame by not releasing this A Holes name. Please don't identify anyone by name that does anything like this. Although I firmly believe in Free Speech, I wish the News organizations would refrain from naming shooters. In our case there was a young man that meets my definition of a hero as while others ran away he ran to the shooter while encouraging others to run. He should be honored for his actions. God Speed his recovery from his wounds. Pray for the families if it is your belief. Pray for our Community as we are shocked, and in mourning. If you choose to comment, I ask that you think and not post anything detrimental that may upset other forum members. Those that know me know how hard it is not to spew my personal beliefs at this time. john
  2. Other than the Belle, I have never owned speakers in this new condition. I wouldn't let a sweater be on top of these cabinets.... I might make an exception for a moaner or a screamer. When the roofers on the house nest door stop roofing to listen. Well you know what you got.

    LOCK OF THE WEEK

    Yea I know this is about sports. But seems every time I see LOCK OF THE WEEK I wonder what got locked.
  4. Ah Karma. Who knew she could be so-o-o Good, and so Very Bad? Had wife and Kids heading for Disney Land when a guy got stuck to the axles in the fresh watered grass at a rest area. Big PU with camper on the back so I said I'd pull em out. Did so and the guy wanted to pay me. Bad enough that the wife put the kids in the camper and got the shot gun. Told him I didn't mean no insult and where I come from if somebody needs a hand you just do it. Said it gave me something to discus with the family going down the road. Learned much later that his mind set was that I felt I was Too Good to take his Money. I'd just never thought of charging. There's both Good and bad people. Don't let the Bad ruin it for the Good. Hard to be happy if your pissed off. Make up for it by giving extra Hugs all the way around. The Family I mean. Might be weird if you were to start hugging strangers. Don't know how to post a link, but google Self-Administering the Heimlich ManeuverThe Heimlich Maneuver is proven. If no one else is there what ya gonna do? Improvise . Know as much as you can of both doing the Heimlich on someone else. Little Lady can do a Big Man. If you have to do it on yourself it may be convenient if you are familiar with several ways. It may help ya keep from panicking.

    Well if you want mine you can come and get it. I will be removing the Stereo though.
  7. But, ugly is to the bones. Especially when it comes to girls, he, he. Ugly girls need love too. Have to agree with you there Jason. We all need love. Regardless of how we look on the outside. But the ugly ones appreciate you more. Well maybe not. I can handle a little ugly, not a lot. The thing I really can't handle is the FAT ones with the REALLY BIG BUTTS !! I not picky mind you, I'm 6'3" tall and weigh 220 pounds. I just don't think my women should weigh more than I do, have more facial hair than I do, or have bigger biceps or lats than I do, so call me stuck up !! Roger Never cared for Fat myself. However some guys seem to prefer it. Even the Roman, Greek, or whatever sculptures of women look too heavy for my preference. I really don't have room to complain though as I'm 5'11" and working my way down from over 300lbs.
  8. Don't knock it. It works. Well if it works better then my hat I'm all for it. Hat didn't do chit.
  9. I was going to say don't use sub to prop up the couch. So is wrapping the cable in tin foil the same principle as a tin foil hat to prevent aliens from taking over my mind? Yea I know. I'm no help.

  11. Exactly Taz, Life is what we make it. Do we get burned once in a wile, Yep, just one of those things. But more often than not, good guy's out weigh the bad. When you do something for someone and expect nothing in return, it's hard to get burned. What was it Boxx used to say about doing something for someone that can't pay you back. Or something like that. Boxx had a lot of good things to say. Wish I could remember more of what he has said. Miss Him.
  12. At some Point Ya just got to Trust. Does not mean you'll never get burned. I've had excellent Results in dealing with Forum members. So far everyone's word has been Good. We all start out with no reputation. Over time others will form their own opinions of us. Post count matters some. Man's recommendation of another man is more important. Still have to listen to that feeling in the gut though. Drive hundreds of miles to meet up with someone you just met online. Or invite someone You don't know into your home to listen. These are just a couple things that make this place feel like a home. john

    I may end up with something more comfortable and less millage. Have a PU I can drive while I'm looking. Thanks to all so far that have made their view know.

    Used car for Taz

    OK I meant 1993. Not much sleep since Friday. I don't like it. I'm not in a hurry and would like to take it slow and informed finding a replacement. I do mostly around town but have to make trips about 180 and would like something comfortable at least. Fuel consumption is important. I was getting 30-34 on the free way. 29-30 in town.

    Used car for Taz

    So I need to start looking for another car. Hit one of those cement barriers when I lost control at 80mph. I never thought much of them before. But if it had not been there it would have been bad. As it is I walked away without a scratch. Got some soreness from seat belt. The last car I bought was a 2993 Nissan Sentra that I wreaked. Wife did not ask how bad the car was, But she did ask if my stereo was OK. I'm hoping to fine something used below ten grand, but could go higher (15) for the right car.
  16. Man I Hate to see you get rid of your Gear. We lived on an acre and had a Belgium Shepherd/Lab. We put a post at the far end of the property with a cable about 15' in the air. Attached it to the bottom of the rafters at the house so he could reach the front door. Then we put a pulley on the cable with a long lead for the dog. Also put a cable clamp on the cable near the post, but not close enough that the dog could go around the post and get hung up. Worked great. If you don't want the cable in the air. I also ran a cable around the house on the ground at a different home, same dog. It worked well, but he liked his elevated cable run better.
  17. The Early Years don't count for me as I had no Idea What I was listening to. Fast forward and I'm buying and liking Vintage SS. Marantz and Sansui mostly. Neighbor told me he had some old tube amps I should buy. I didn't know nothing about no "Tube Amps." He said they were McIntosh. uh ok? Got on this site for advice, but still feeling real unsteady. Brought home 2 Mc 30's and a pre amp. Set them aside until I felt recovered from the $1,000 Total cost of the units. Still feeling uncertain about the deal. Had them gone through for another $1,000 and put them back on the shelf. Got some Khorns. Put the Khorns with the Mc 30's. And put the 2 together for my Intro to Tubes. Now I'm not as sharp as some guys, But I'm told this is an alright system. Even the guy that worked on them talked about how nice this particular system looked, was preserved, and sounded together.

    Whoop ***

    Thanks Mark, I'll pick some up if they have it here in Roseburg. We do have a Wally World. Maybe the two 5 hour energy drinks I consumed just prior to the "Whoop @$$" energy drink had some additional effect.

    Whoop ***

    Found "Whoop ***" energy drink at one point. Managed to drink about 1/2 can. Figured it would be no problem to get some more. Sentimental reasons only. Seems like that was the night the fog line and the dotted line were crossing each other about 50' in front of me. Too much BOOST? Had to pull over and try to sleep it off. If anyone knows/finds/acquires or can acquire some. I'd like to get some more. At least a can or two. Just for Display purposes. Don't think I'll drink it anymore. That stuff is worse then alcohol.
  20. Not to take anything away from this post. But all forms of Dementia are devastating. Alzheimer's is BAD. But there are other dementias I worked with that "I" believe to be worse. I have enjoyed Glen's songs since I was a kid.
  21. Dad knew Mason Williams back when hew was driving a stump Mason grew up in the same small town we lived in. His step dad would bring him to the landing in his log truck. Mason had to be in a safe spot while the truck was being loaded. So he'd go get onto a stump and start Jamming Gears like a Truck Driving Man. Now I realize I have strayed off topic.
  22. You need to be careful with that Phrase. Those that don't know might Think. Well Kinda like Kiss and Tell. Those that Know, Understand the Memories.
  23. Can't Ya just touch both sides of the capacitor with you fingers to get a discharge? Says the guy that still remembers sticking tweezers into the wall socket at 2 years of age.
