That's pretty bad for y'all northerners. Hope your ac is in good shape Mike, ours set at 80 between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm has run twice sometimes three times an hour the last couple of weeks. And nope, 80 isn't too bad with the ceiling fans running and the de-humidifier on at night to bring the humidity down below 50%. Well 80 isn't bad if you've been outside for any period of time!

@avguytx For transporting then possibly storing (not out next to the Belles) the Farmplast Super-Crates are helpful. Just got four of them delivered an hour ago. They're just a tad more large than the crates I "came across" in the late 70s. https://www.milkcratesdirect.com/super-crates/

At least you didn't say 15 south of New Smyrna I'd have to be younger or at least in great shape again to go back to the naked beaches!

Put on my summer yardwork clothes at six this morning, that was nine hours ago. Not happening today, the care and feeding of my mother has gotten a lot more complicated, then had to run out and get supplies, then nurses for over an hour. In the middle I made dirty rice and blackeyes `cause the pot pies and frozen pizza have lost their allure. I'll make cornbread to go with the rest of it early tomorrow. Ate a whole cereal bowl (about two cups) full and I'm ruined... too heavy a brunch to get out in the heat now. 100 a little late today at 12:40. Got to trim all those darned bushes that I now hate and cut the yard so I can water it all to keep it from scorching by the weekend. Lots of water folks. Lots of water when it gets hot like this - even if you're not thirsty.

Always liked Cold Chisel from the first time I heard them & his singing was a big part of that. Since a biker couple that moved here from the great plains introduced me to them in the 80s I've felt like I was the only other one around here that knew of them. Anyone living a quarter mile of me or fortunately stuck in traffic next to me in the last three decades heard them though. This stuff has to be cranked it's such a pure raw rock!! G'Day Mates!

real close huh? if only I still had hair! Ended up with a crew cut yesterday, I used the tapered ones around my ears...... and forgot to extend the blade `cause things have been hectic here. Had to go all over with a 3/8" blade to make it match.... darn that's short but it isn't cold outside here, I'll live.

Recognize the Atco label there bud. Some of my most played LPs are theirs Blackfoot's first is how I know that label! Here's another I see only in my old stuff. Big around here in and right after high school.

Sticking with over there for now.

I remember a whole year without rain here once, with one hell of a heatwave >95 for three months >100 for a week and a half. I think it was `86. I watered the trees and bushes slowly... lawn got burned up. We'd have dark cloudy days with lightning and thunder sometimes but not a speck of rain for over a year that time.

104 on the southside after lunchtime and though I don't trust the post 80s thermometer we have, two sites at weatherunderground nearby had 102 listed two hours later. So it's sunny, muggy and hot like summer around here today.

Yea and I'm glad they didn't go away, I like Mick's solo stuff his covers on "Wandering Spirit" are great!!
-
Oops I `bout made trouble for myself with the screenie I put up and took down! See some Stones around here, lots of good ones in this old release.
-
Great!! I see you took some evidence out of what I got "E"d to me *

These guys could ROCK!! & I wish I'd seen them more that just once, but in a small venue... a bar that held >500 people that's not bad at all. Late 80s and they still had it going on.

Can't say that I know the tunes you're listening to @DMH although I've heard some of the Duke. But how you're listening to it is in a superb manner!!

Seems they overreact and insinuate that we're all stupid sometimes @dtel. It's just good that not a lot bad happened yet! We get areal ? flash flood warnings all the time here over the phones or the boob-tube. and we are 650 something above sea level, everywhere is downhill from our few blocks and the ONLY way we will EVER flood is if that Isle of LePalma or something in the Canary Islands has that volcano split and fall into the sea and make that mile high tsunami I saw on a public tv station special once. Everything east of the Appalachian would be flooded then

Follow up on the fawn, it's been in our backyard for a couple of days. Saw it with the doe after the thunderstorm earlier and it is moving around like it's getting stronger.

@oldtimer yea, the first iteration. Second was all for me before the thousandth time I heard a solo certain singer's song on fm! I'm talking way more than Stairway... or Freebird played ... counting both of them together.
-
In that case @Full Range since I recall it being in the early 80s in Hotlanta when I made that previous tape.... Putting it back last night the newer cover slipped out, Holy Diver didn't drown out Jackson...... it was the mostly post-Gabriel Genesis!

Rules? OP doesn't need any stinkin' rules

Just got some Forte III and all I can say is WOW!

For a lot of sound packed in a small, easily mobile footprint the F3s are hard to beat! -
Ya know you'll just have to make that Sledge fit. I know what you know about this and I love my sledge 800w sub!
-
I'll second that! Brother Mike, Thank You! I'll have to rag on you much, much more when you quip negatively about the Zeppelin! No wonder you asked "How's it sound?" And yea I have had a little Genesis since before the radio burned me out on Phil... went through a pop phase...even had "Thriller" recorded for a while until I recorded Dio or someone like that over it. This LP makes for a nice (mysterious) evening, side 4 coming up on the AKG soon!
