    Was reminiscing about the Blue Shorthorns I sold years ago and today doing some research just now found they were sold to "Mungkiman" Its super cool they went to such a mighty collector.  Would like to message him to see if hes still enjoying them and however just signed up and not able to message him. I have run across many rare speakers over the years including this one super rare Klipsch Heresy pictured. Wishing I hadn't sold some of my rare collection as I'm a bit of a hoarder. Wish I kept the rare Jensen Imperial [single shown]. I still have a uber rare single Brociner licensed by Klipsch for the cabinet design loaded with a EV woofer and Lowther. I have run out of photo space will make another thread

     

    Hey Byron - Welcome to the forum. I do still have and enjoy the Shorthorns. They cleaned up nicely and Klipsch was kind enough to provide me with what I was told to be the very last of their cane fabric.

    worst I ever had was some natural stuff that the oil separated and sat on the top and you had to stir the peanut butter before using it. too much work!

     

    Store it upside down. You're welcome.

     

  3. That sounds about right to me. I'm no tax guru and this should not be construed as tax advice, but it is my limited understanding that taxes on 1099-NEC earnings will be much (+15%) higher since you are now responsible for paying both halves of the employer and employee payroll taxes that apply to wages.

     

    If, however, the income in question is sporadic (neither reliable nor periodic), it can instead be reported in box 1 on the "Other Income" line of Schedule 1, Form 1040:

    That's the problem in our times. Get online and seek out "data" that agrees with your perspective. Truth be damned.

     

    It doesn't seem unreasonable that, given the huge increase of reported cases (nearing 850,000/day) combined with the drastic shortage of 'official' testing, the daily case numbers might be low. On top of that, it is being reported that the at-home test results are not being counted, and surely there are asymptomatic people not being tested. Estimates are merely guesses, even when educated ones, but I doubt anything 'sinister' is happening here by association. My opinions, of course.

    Yeah, we switched to 3M N95 this month too. Omicron protection goes from 25 minutes with a cloth mask to 25 hours with N95.

    The most recent information I have seen also suggested 25 hours of protection from Omicron, when one of two people is infected and both are wearing non-fit tested N95 masks. It is further suggested that protection is greatly extended if both masks are tightly sealed. This is one of the primary reasons I wear N95 masks with behind the head straps instead of behind the ear straps, since (for me) the mask can fit tightly without ear fatigue. YMMV

    Hopefully I'm within the boundaries of the thread.  I was listening to the head of the CDC yesterday.  She said that 75 percent of all covid deaths were from people that had 4 co morbidities. 

    Context is important. Here is the entire quote:

     

    “You know, a really important study if I may just summarize it, a study of 1.2 million people who were vaccinated between December and October and demonstrated that severe disease occurred in about 0.015% of the people who are receive their primary series and death in .003% of those people.  The overwhelming number of deaths over 75% occurred in people who had at least four comorbidities so really these are people who were unwell to begin with. And yes, really encouraging news in the context of omicron this means not only just to get your primary series but to get your booster series.”

     

    The “Good Morning America” segment that aired on Jan. 7 left out the context that the statistic only applies to those who have been fully vaccinated, and does not refer to overall COVID-19 deaths.
