  1. Acetylene and oxygen balloons, BIG Glad bags, 50 gal drums, etc. Ignition by broken mini xmas light bulbs and 9-12 V batteries.

    My kids loved that once a year. (out in a big field). Try about a 100 balloons tied to a fence line and set the first one off, or hanging off a kite string.

    Use your imagination. (careful with the 50 gal drums.)

    Too much fun.

    Define worse. So hot you can't stand it or so cold you can't stand it:)

    "Can't stand it"? 

    As long as our AC and furnaces work we will be able to "stand it" in our first world.

    People have been "standing it" all around the world for a long time.

    Look out for when they really "can't stand it".

  3. I just finished 'Liberation Road' after reading the 3 earlier books in this series about WW2 by David L. Robbins

    Lots of fact-a little fiction.  5 stars from me.

    Ant suggestions for more on this theme?

  4. I hooked up my new RSB-14 yesterday (optic cable) and BT only. I must say for the hype and the price I am disappointed.

    The sub will never do. Also don't like the fact you never know where the sub is set. No + - display. The remote is kinda 'hinky' too.

    I was only looking for 2.1 and will never spend more $$ on it.  (I may even return it)

    It's not what I expected from this brand.

  5. Local store has (last pr.) of Klipsch RF82Bii's on for a very good price.

    My question is-what's the B mean?  Seconds-different components etc?

    Very good price and I do want them. Will the 'B' affect quality-value down the road?

    I'm sure I only have tonight to decide.

    Just a suggestion for all of you that may not have tried this yet.

     

    For steaks, and many other things, cook it Sous Vide and then sear or smoke it the way you like your finish.  When you can control how done it is within a degree and then, pan seer, grill seer, torch it, end smoke it, whatever you feel like, the results are fabulous.  

    +1     Heat to 129 Deg and sear it with butter on HOT cast iron. Perfect med rare every time and no need to let it sit.

  7. Almost 50 years of welding under my belt. Construction fires are ALWAYS the welders fault.

    "Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be welders".

    Very sad for Paris and the world.

     

    #1 Cutting torch

    #2 Stick and Mig welding

    #3 grinders

    Way down -TIG  (very little sparks produced plus very little TIG used in structural unless they were using aluminum)

  8. High Volume Low Pressure.  The specs on that gun sound off. Should be closer to 12 CFM and 4.5 PSI.

    The outlet  of a decent vacume cleaner is about the right pressure.

  9. I was watching a 'Prime' movie on my new smart TV. Toslink is the only audio out it has

    so I hooked that up (with an inline Toslink to RCA adapter) to my Yammy amp. All works fine exept

    my new TV has no audio settings for compression. "Enemy At The Gates" goes from whisper to all out war

    battles and I had to keep turning my volume up and down. Maybe someone here has had this issue

    and found a cure.

    I agree.  I’ve had two pairs hooked up to computers.  I probably listen to more music through these than any other speakers.  In the nearfield setup on either side of the monitor, it’s almost like using headphones.  The sub placed under the desk adds just the right impact, but I have it turned all the way down; any more gain sounds tubby.

     

    Thanks to all for the suggestions.  My friend bought a Bluetooth ProMedia 2.1 set.

    I agree about the sub (tubby). Wish it wasn't on the floor under my desk. Cleaning-dusting around it sucks. Plus I keep stubbing my toes.

    Bit of a mess but they are here somewhere.

    1337 days to go.  Yes, I have it on my calendar and look at it every day.

    Don't wish time away. It's  something you can't ever get back.
