Back in late 60's-early 70's I was working for a company in the oil field industry (National Tank) in Calgary, Alberta. 'They' (oil companies from Tulsa to Texas), sent truckers to pick up
oil field equipment in Calgary in winter, sometimes in the worst of weather. Quite a few times the drivers and their trucks showed up frozen! No antifreeze or heaters in their tractors, wearing shorts,T shirts, flip flops etc. Many begged a ride to the airport and abandoned their rigs. We laughed our asses off.
Day um! That's crazy, not even a heater in the tractor. I can picture it from your description, jean cutoffs, flip flops, and a muscle shirt

You'll notice that I no longer live in northern New England.
Yes I noticed MO. I have lived my entire life down south. I don't know how people live and work in those extreme lows, but they do. Like Canada and northern US. My career was in oil refinery operations and when I retired our Ops Manager asked me if I was interested in working part time @ our Detroit refinery. I asked him if he was f**kin nuts! He is from MI originally. I heard enough stories and experiences from my fellow supervisors who went north for strike duty, or extended turnarounds. They came back with oversized, HD insulated coveralls and head and face coverings, boots, and gloves. Talk of catching a couple of samples in the AM before dawn and having to go back and warm up for the next couple.
Not for me, no thanks. Christmas Eve 1989 we lost the entire refinery (Garyville, LA) due to low atmos temps in the wee hours and had a few fires (but nobody was injured). When I walked out from the control room @ 0600 it was earily quiet. Got to 16F that morning. We fought hard but lost that morning. Down for 3 or 4 days, probably cost our employer 3 to 5 million dollars. Can't imagine doing it @ zero degrees F or lower.

-30°C is only -22°F. Not so bad. When I lived in northern New England, I got to the point where I could tell the difference between -20°F and -25°F by the crunch of the snow when I stepped on it.
F dat!
no thanks.

@Foxman This might be of help to you. If you use an older iphone with a headphone jack, you can connect with a 3.5mm to rca male "left and right" cable. Then input the rca into your amp or receiver via aux input. If you have a newer iphone, apple sells a "lightning to 3.5mm headphone adapter, pretty low cost like $9. I'm not an Apple guy so I have not personally used this adapter or arrangement.
I do this with my Cowon dap to my McIntosh mc-150 amp, headphone out to rca cables to amp input. With the dap to amp i control volume with dap volume adjust. Going into my older Sony AVR, I use the AVR volume control/remote.
This eliminates multiple digital to analog conversion, or vice versa. I understood your question above as you want to play your playlist in your iphone to your main system.
I'll add using my Cowon dap to my McIntosh amp for music playback is awesome, absolutely no noise, and I use a 15' 3.5 mm extension cable so i can control music selection or "controls" via the dap from my sofa or bean bag chair. I'm not a bluetooth guy for music transmission yet, i prefer wired method, earbuds or headphones or my multiple daps.

Now they'll put a value on it and tax you accordingly if they think the value is grossly understated.
Same in Louisiana.

2005 FZ6.
600 cc, 98 HP, fuel injected, 4-cylinder in-line four, redlines at 14,000. Twin spar aluminum frame. And I love the dual exhaust and the fact it has a center stand.
Super nice, I operated/owned motorcycles for ~ 32 years. Sold my last one (HD V-rod) in Jan 2009. Still have my cycle endorsement on my DL. The technology in your 600 Yammy is pretty incredible. Short of an F1 engine, where ya gonna find a 4 stroke engine turning/making power to 14k rpm?

Back to 68F and windy here. I got a nice glimpse of the full moon last night as it was rising from the horizon. Some people get crazy when the moon is full, or near full. Bad behaviors ↑

I guess you got the cold that bit us? It was in the teens [as low temp] for two days here. That qualifies as cold for us. It happens every few years
A couple years ago (12-8-17) it dropped down to 15F here and my exterior wall mounted gas fired tankless water heater inlet froze up early in the morning sometime. Noticed when I woke up and no hot water flow to wash hands and face. I was out there with my electric heat gun and got it flowing again in like 5-10 minutes.
So note to self going forward: overnight temps < 20F, put a heat lamp on it or run a little hot water stream. Which doesn't happen very often down here anyways.

New front glass arrived yesterday from McIntosh Labs so with some advice and gen instructions from @USNRET I got her replaced and looking pristine once again. Gave the amp interior a cleaning too while I had the main cover off. Built like a brick sh*thouse comes to mind.

There is nothing quite like leaving the house at 11:30 a.m. being at the boulevard a quarter mile away and seeing the sky turn black and it getting dark as night then step outside and the wind is blowing up from the ground off the parking lot enough to make my three-quarter inch hair blow. That was after the tornado warning so the air was rising and racing towards my neighborhood course I drove home if I hadn't driven that way a thousand times in my life I would not have been able to go I couldn't see past the end of the hood and yeah I'm talking all this into my phone so no punctuation but geez glad we didn't get hit there must have been rotation still in the air the way the updraft was but damn too much rain.
They had a couple tornadoes do some destruction in LA or MS yesterday. A product of that storm front moving east.

DOW up 260!
and TSLA down 14% this morning. Bottle rockets eventually hit the ground.
I forgot to add after Tesla's recent gangbuster run up, Tesla's market cap is greater than GM, Ford, and Chrysler combined.

I do too! A friend said if I'd feed them red meat they'd grow into Cornwalls. They just make a mess with hamburger.
Feed em nice marbled rib eyes twice a day for two weeks straight and maybe they will grow up to be CW IVs.

here is mahomes reported salary
People also ask
What is Mahomes salary?On July 20, 2017, the Chiefs signed Mahomes to a fully guaranteed four-year, $16.42 million contract that includes a signing bonus of $10.08 million.-But you wrote Garoppolo earns twice what Brady earns, and that is not even close to the truth. Proof in the links from spotrac i posted earlier.
Garopolo earns 27.5 million per year, signed a 5 year contract @ $137,500,000 total.
Tom Brady signed a 1 year contract for 2019 for $23,000,000.
See the pic below to refresh your memory. Hey its no big deal, accuracy just isn't your thing.

Interesting “Vintage Cornrhorn Cabinets” on eBay.
in Alerts!
Posted
Those look nice, I'll take a pair of the TP-200. I bet the cabs were nice quality. Wonder what year this was? 1960s perhaps?
Edit: listing says originally for sale in 1959.
https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649224411-1-jensen-tp200-triplex-speaker-mahogany-finish/
For sale in 1957: https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/jensen/tp-200.shtml
Found empty cabs/no drivers on ebay for $3500 + shipping, or a single complete unit working for $5000. Must be mahogany gold.
