  1. Sorry I missed you Bruce, that is even awful to just hear about. Short staffed on weekends is what someone else told me that overheard the whole thing and got the chuckles.

     

    Yep things are different around here.

     

    Darn youngins don't listen anywhere now. They're self absorbed, righteously indignant, and have the attention span of gnats. Palpably rude to folks older than they are. Thanks a ^#$@ing lot public schools !!

     

    Somebody teach them how to use a telephone please!!!

    I answer Hello! They say hello and then are quiet. I've told a couple they called me and should state the purpose of the call and identify themselves. A couple have snickered at that or almost chuffed like a dog. I've stopped trying to educate them, just count down 3,2,1 and they hang up = get blocked:tongue:

    I'll be glad when this pain is over, be in an all-round better mood too!

    -rant over-

  3. I'm glad it's not this week!

    Got lots that I'm supposed to make happen, other stuff happening also, desk should finally get here and I'll put the tv up again to stay as my monitor.

    Get the ekg for the procedure? Tried Saturday, a guy there at the small rural hospital got mad and wanted to know who sent me to get it done on a weekend. 

    Ay yai yai!

    I told him again, I'm getting used to this new world up here, hospitals did not close up on the weekends in the cities.

    & that no one told me which day to show up, like I said when I was first asked.

     

    *I do miss parts of what city-life used to be before though!

    Shrimp Tacos @ Daddy’s Late Nite Diner!

     

    Glad I'm eating my Sunday dinner now! That would make me hungry.

    I was surprised a couple decades ago when I found seafood tacos. Ordered tuna with mango/hab salsa once, they were addictive!

  5. Yikes, well I'm a Southerner and that day long blizzard I saw once was enough for me. Feb of `04 I think.

    A thunderstorm with snow instead of rain that lasted about 16 hours! 28 inches on the back porch, 60mph winds, the low level spot after I climbed up and out of the sliding glass door!

    Well ..spring seem to be far away here ....again a rainy day , so there was time enough to listen to some vinyls this afternoon. 

     

     

    maybe some more ? ...I´ll see, it´s 7 45 pm here so there´s time enough.......

    Good to see you spinning again George! Cool here lately also, just hit 50 but in the 40s the rest of the week for highs.

    I would be a third with that Midnight Sun LP, nice play for a Sunday afternoon!

  7. Took a ride into town today, 40 min one way! My gas station finally raised their prices, got to get another one now!

    Changed out the music from Dio and Faith No More to these guys for the trip!

    Jelly Jelly came on when I was dipping and climbing in & out of the hills & serious curves that I've gotten used to on a couple numbered state roads!

  8. Nice! @Klipsch104db

    Analogue Productions made the absolute best sounding LPs I have with about two exceptions. Fagen's Nightfly 140gram and Claptons 1/2 speed Slowhand that I didn't know it was a half speed until way later! And an 461 Ocean Blvd original release that tells me mastering was at it's apex in the mid-1970s!!

    talk about "soundstage" ? that one's GOT IT!

  9. I think Matteo has heard of Jeff Beck!

    Very Good Guitarist!

     

    "It's Been a Long Time Since I've"...  listened to this wonderful record!

    Brought up in another thread, it's my second time today with this on.

    Talk to the Aloe Vera plants 

    Its therapeutic you know 

     

    Just remember back when we were young - letters took many days and weeks to arrive so we have experience in waiting for the good times to come 

     

     

    Like the tune!

    Those super crates hold 100 + LPs and I don't count the doubles or triples.

     

    That aloe came from under a pier at the Shark Bite Capital of the World... New Smyrna Beach, FL in the mid-90s. In Ormond, Maitland then in Rockledge and also Port St John is the rest of it. I was with a gypsy then... they were left there three to four feet tall with a flower like fireworks that shot up out of the middle. They spread like crabgrass, with shoots. I've got those pots with me.

    Died with the others where I was confined in sc. No direct light into any window. Tried outside finally, and a cat killed em all and mom's pearl plant.

     

    So when I road trip back down to the Free & Protected State of Florida to surprise my X, I'll get another shoot!

  11. Still keeping above ground.

    The source of my consternation, sleepless nights and more four letter words than I've yelled than ever before!

    Good thing nobody hears when you scream in the boondocks!

  12. @dirtmudd

    Yep, knew you'd know you were the other guy I'd said would know who he was! As a matter of fact you told me about that release years ago... said it had the best version of Dr. Diamond on it.

    Supposedly it got left off of "Starless & Bible Black" but not put on another I guess gave the fans something to look forward to with nearby or day-trip away shows!

    What´s the problem JJ ? Thought that you rented a store where all your audio gear and vinyl was stored till you´ve moved into the new house. Was it all stolen from you or did you have to sell it?

    At first I had stuff in two 10' X 15' X 9' storage bins floor to ceiling.

    I know about missing your LPs.

    Think I've seriously lost it over the issues causing me to not having 95% of my belongings anymore.

    60 and on SS I can't replace all of it now, what is irreplaceable I'm under threat to stay away. 

    Think I'll take a break from all this for a while.

    Boy oh boy 

    I’m in love with that hat 

    Had those in a folder for so long not sure if I'd used it here before. Things like complexion, and hair come into play with stuff like cowboy hats. More with tats. You've got Mediterranean in you, might could pull it off Paul!

  15. Another great one!

    Kansas must have been way underrated. They were just incredible with their music composition and musicianship.

    Plus they could showcase both of those things onstage each time I saw `em!

  16. @Tim Sr. that sounds like you do know!

     

    I haven't had my current 100% JBM (select, cheap but nice) but four or five times the last month, so when I start making 40 oz at a time...

    I'll be wired!

    I picked up their Linn clone that is everything that was plus a lot more when it came out.

    The ProJect Classic, the cart stunk so I put one on that brought out the articulate highs, the rich bass, and the liquid smooth mids.

  17. Different Day

    Different Wavelength

    Love this band, always have, always will.

     

    Barracuda got me to take it home, this song and the rest made me play it until the microline styli wore it out over thirty years.

     

    New half-speed replacement, all is well when I get it back!

    I'm 2-2 with finding original release music tonight!!

  19. Brandon says he dit'ant do it. But it sho dit'ant be like this a couple years ago.

     

    George... glad for you man.

    I feel for ya, but you don't know jack about missing your vinyl!

    Going on three ()(*&%$ing years now trying to make myself content with a couple hundred cd's instead of 700 - 800 ultrasonic cleaned, pristine and new LPs.

     

    If I ever... you will know because I'll play a few of them for 24 hours, six pots of coffee non-stop!

  20. Not a problem & we were talking Heritage before you got those a couple weeks ago.

    Now... the laser gun? Looks like one from an animates series?

    I'm scheduled tentatively for surgery the 28th, good luck with yours man!
