    A blast from the past.  Where you been boy?

    Just doing what I do... 

    Luckily we've had work at the shop... (our state considers us "essential") .....actually quite busy when our state was 1st shut down. I thought we'd have no work. But customers just dropped off cars that they've been putting off repairs, they were not using their cars for work, I was surprised.

    Changes coming...

    The Boss and I are looking for another house. Want a smaller house with some land.. just looking for a few acres... enough to build a nice shop on. I finally convinced her that we don't need a five bedroom house, it's just me and her. 

    We might not have a shop this time next year.... my landlord just passed two weeks ago. don't know what's gonna happen. just the property alone is worth a ton of coin. so his kids might just sell it off once the estate is settled. Don't Know if the use car guys next to my shop will buy the place, they have deep pockets. But they haven't been moving any cars. 

    So the plan has been for us to relocate, build a shop and take my best customers with me, people that are just more that customers. People that have been coming to the shop for years, I've got some that I've known 20+ years...... So maybe get a part time gig.....something like trimming cannabis plants in a grow house and work on cars at my house part time.. This has kinda been the plan for some time, but the boss didn't want to sell the house. We were thinking about putting a building here but she's finally onboard with moving...it makes more sense. So plans have been moved up. 

    So if you remember the boss's mom past couple years back and we still have stuff from their estate. The boss wasn't ready to get rid of things but we have a new plan....everything goes, we list crap on market place every day...I'm selling all kinds of stuff... I'm even unloading a bunch of my Klipsch and my JBL's might also be going. We have acquired quite a hoard over the years....and it can't come with us. 

    But we're ok... we are strong. 

    Since covid hit all we do is go to the shop and come home. We haven't been out to eat and will not do so until the "mask" thing is done. We've only got carry out food three times since covid hit....and this has nothing to do with the virus.. I'm just not spending money..

     

    Anyway.... The Boss says Hi to all

    I'll be back😉

  3. I came across an ad in market place the other day for a Chorus I woofer. It was advertised as a K-48E from a Chorus I. The ad went on to say that is not a K48 from a Chorus II and there was a difference in the two woofers. 

    The K-48E in the Chorus I was made by Eminence and is a 4 ohms, the K-48 in the Chorus II was made by Pyle and 8 ohms. I question the seller and was quite adamant about his facts...

    I understand that Klipsch used different manufactures for drivers but I always thought that the woofers in the Chorus I's & II's were the same...

    In the sales brochure for both I's and II's it says K-48E in both. But over the years I think I've seen K-48 and K-48E in one or the other??

    I have both I's and II's not looking to pull woofers out.... both sets are in the storage room and not being used at this time....and I don't need any woofers... I just gotta know lol lol

    and now for something completely different

     

    Noticed a funny detail in a PurpleMatress ad.

     the gal was sleeping on her back. Mouth open .... and drool running down her chin.

    Maybe it wasn't drool...

     

    Pics..... Just for my unbiased opinion😉

    Morning folks. So I've decided to move on from the Keurig and go back to a drip brewer. I've always remembered Bunn being a great coffee maker, but recently reading reviews, it doesn't seem that way. Apparently there are cheap Chinese plastic parts giving a funky taste and if that's not the issue, then they seem to have a quality issue. I've also been looking at Braun and Cuisinart. Anybody have one they like and why, any to to stay away from? Thanks.

    So over the years me and The BOSS have been through several Cuisinarts.....they work good for a year or so and something happens to them.

    After talking with you guys years ago we went for the BUNN A-10 and never looked back. It's been serving us now close to 4 years... The only "issue" that seems to happen is the drip head gets clogged up from the water we have here. We have well water. So the drip head get cleaned every few weeks.

    Honestly, I think you need to go a little heavy on S&P when you are doing catfish. When I mix for 'gill or ... about anything else, I go light... Sardines will take seasonings. You just gut and gill them...

    When I go to Philadelphia (China Town) there's a Indonesian restaurant that has a whole deep fried cat fish... 
    it's off the chart delicious.

    Two types of hot sauce...They call it chili'.....

    The hot one is served in a stone bowl, spoon it out and put it on what ever you. It's served with the cat fish, I like to mix it with my rice..... It's quite quite hot. 

    The other hot chili' is severed in a little plastic container....a few spoon fulls. 

    This is the one that takes no prisoners.....Even my Indonesian bud can't hang with it...but his wife eats it down with no problems..

    A few years back we were going to Philly 4/5 times a month so I became accustom to these chilis' and really got a liking for them.... but the problem for me is the next day.... It usually starts in the wee hours of the morning..... The term I use is liquid fire🔥 

    The Boss asks me why do I do this to myself......it's just sooo good

    Actually we're going to China Town for the Chinese New Year.... We haven't been in a year so I'll have to take it easy on the chili'

    I need to lose 50 lbs big time.

    Man if I lost 50 lbs I'd blow away🤣🤣

    The BOSS lost a bunch of weight couple years back, all she did was stop drinking soda, she comes with me when I work out. But all she does is sit there and watch, she says "I'm not doing any of that and getting sweaty"

    Has anyone here used the Carver service out of Washington?  I have 3 M200's that all work but due to their age I'm thinking about having all three serviced, caps replaced, update the speaker connectors and inputs.  I'm open to any qualified place or person doing this but wanted to get some input from others that have already done this.

    I've never had anything sent out to Roland (Hi-Tech Audio) but I understand he does fine work. Never heard any bad from the guys over at the Carver site. 

    There are some guys that do repair and mods to gear on the Carver site. I met a couple of them a few years back at a Carver gathering down in Virginia. All very nice guys that do it for the love of the Carvers. One guy bought his fresh Carver Silver 9t's that the one guys did for him. We powered my KP-362's that I bought down for the day. I wish they would have put more power to them.

    Anyway there is a waiting list for these guys.

  14. Good Sunday my peeps, hope all is good. 

    today is a rainy and cool, got a fire going and a few watts going to the Chours I's and that's about all the excitement happening here...

    With the rain and cold, I got some unplanned activity. About the last thing I wanted to do in the sleet and rain ... dig up the septic tank. I kinda saw it coming. Hoping things would dry out enough to not need.

    Boy is off today. Of things he might have planned, I bet backfilling the septic tank was not anywhere near the top on his list.

     

    Oh Nooooo

    I feel your pain.... Such crapp!!! our septic took a chit several back.... That dug into my pocket..

    Good luck...
