    Jokes?

    True storey, but amusing.... Had the most amusing con today. After going ISO a fuel line for da kids car, (O'Reilly's, Auto Zone and two NAPAs) ; I found the Hose Master. Toyota wanted $250 and three days. The Hose Master cut the fittings from the old line, brazed them to threaded fittings and fitted a hose between them. For $45.00. In 60 minutes. The Hose Store, 302 East Baseline, Mesa Az, 487-5800. Great service, and comedy too. Hose Master: " I can give ya another inch on that hose if ya want." Me: "Better make it two; ya can never have too much hose." Master: " Yeah, we can do that."
  4. Indeed. They would be a sweet set for the garage or rear surrounds. Then I would be getting all @Youthman up in here. Great price, wish I was closer.

    What I Got Today!

    A pair of "mostly finished" Exodus Anarchy tapped horn subs and a Crown 1002 XLS amp to power them. Since my wife left me (to visit grandkids in Co. she got me the amp for Christmas) I decided to bring them in from the garage and test them out. After the Berlin Philharmonic played Brandenburg Concertos 2 and 5, Steppenwolf played The Pusher and Magic Carpet Ride, then Creedence played their greatest hits. Quite a difference with the enhanced bottom end. Me Gusta! Next, back to the garage for final sanding and stain, then they come to live inside.

    What I Got Today!

    First fruits from the fig tree. The lighter is for scale. The first fruiting is typically small, ~3-4 dozen, but the new growth harvest will be measured in dozens of pounds..
  7. I'm about two weeks from some ripeness here in Az. We can plant the first week in March. I've grown them in New York and Maryland with good results. Colorado was a challenge. Rabbits, birds, hail and a short season stunted production. But here in Az. I get a big crop May through July. The plants won't set fruit if the temp doesn't drop below 90 so they go dormant for two to three months, then produce again for a fall crop in Oct and early Nov.

    Finished the garden: upper braces in place and net installed. Now the feathered freeloaders will have to work for supper.

    I chip the larger ones for that, but most are 1/8" - 1/4" whips.

    What I Got Today!

    More built than got. My wife was tired of my "ghetto garden". The old frame was made of weathered, cracked peelers, 1x2's and baling wire, to support the bird netting. Tore that down and raised another. Just finished the staining. Tomorrow the upper braces go in then the new netting. Should have ripe maters and Peppers 🌶 in about three weeks. (Figs, too) Yum. Also trimmed the mesquite canopy, thus the piles of foliage onna ground. Off to the dump tomorrow.
  11. That was what my wife said as well. But after our younger twins graduated and moved out, I got a set of La Scala speakers. Only took 30 years. She is a stubborn woman and insisted I feed the kids before spending on "giant, ugly speakers". After 2 years in the house she now thinks they look pretty good.
  12. Don't have any woofers, but if ya need a friend, I'm here for ya.......
  13. FYI: In the past few months the same speakers have been advertised for both $1000 and $750, with both ads on the List of Craig simultaneously. Same picture and contact info. So either there is room to negotiate, the seller really does not want to sell, or something phishy Iz going on. Reproach with caution. The seller, @JoeNoD has responded, and it seems none of my conjectures were correct. It is not a phishing attempt, and he does not need to sell. Therefore he may wait for a motivated buyer. @JoeNoD please forgive my suspicious nature, and welcome to the forum.
  14. Heh, heh, heh.....you said hard on......heh heh heh. Aside from the childish joke, I rather envy your mechanical skills in maintaining your machinery.
  15. My 1978 Scalas have grill fabric attached to the reverse surface of the upper motorboard, with the horn mounting screws through the fabric. See below.
  16. Went to the circus last night with some friends from High Prarie, Alberta. Captain Ron, RCMP, Ret, and his wife; Outfitter/electrician/ret schoolteacher Bob and his wife (Ret Principal); and my wife. The show was outstanding. Set up in a large, climate controlled tent in the parking lot of Cardinal stadium, held about 2-3k people. Live music with an exceptional sound system. The acrobats were impressive. If if it comes to a town near you, don't miss it. Well worth the price of admission. (And the 100 mile round trip drive)
  17. Married life has mellowed you.😀 Congrats on the wedding!
  18. K 77 tweeters are available all day long on e bay. Singles for around $100, pairs for as low as $170 delivered. Members here, who tend to acquire surplus stock, may give a better deal, all ya have to do is ask in the garage sale section of the forum: "WTB round magnet K 77 tweeter" put the tweeter in, rub on some Watco furniture oil, and have yourself a fine looking and sounding set of speakers. I do do not know what other gear you have, but I enjoy the heck out of my vintage (1978) La Scala set. in any event, give them a listen before dispositioning. Cheers.
  19. Once the weight of the Soul has been measured, we must next determine the weight of the Funk.
  20. @avguytx either the Tang Band W6-1139SI 6-1/2" driver, or the Anarchy-704 are suited to the 25 Hz tapped horn Anarchy box https://www.diysoundgroup.com/speaker-parts/speaker-components/woofers/anarchy7-4ohm.html
