Yup, that's the way they roll. EVERY store. Places are a joke anymore.

Just for you @billybob a lil Knopfler w/o watching all those youtube vids you've been posting for the newbies! lol

@MicroMara Ours around here is pretty much done and they are taking some of the over-priced cable market customers. Cya when we cya brother! We're suffering but not very much. hahahaha HAD TO! You're missed and ya know it! Soon.

Sounds like you have everything worked out on the rebuilds. They have to sound better than the new rigs and today's pricing if you're reselling. Those as monoblocks would sound fantastic on my old LS. They always take things to a new level.

Blah, I'm on strike. Dropped 20# just by staying outta the grocery store. Saw the Doc last week and he said how'd you lose 23 # in 3 months. Told him I got smart and realized I didn't need all the crap in the grocery stores. He laffed and I countered with, "Ya know what? I've known you and your wife my entire life and I've NEVER seen you in any grocery store." He got a laff outta that. Then told me everything looked much better so there's that. My old butt isn't goin anywhere yet.

@Tarheel, Chuckie if you're talking to me about my rig, vinyl, signed stuff and things with value both girls know what's here and what's locked up at other places. They could each buy Lambo's if they sold it @ auctions. Yea, dad's outta the box but he's always spot on. So I laff and take the heat they throw at me. Kids today aren't anything like we were. Wild! Items from people that were very close to me won't ever be sold. Offed a couple things once and a big time dude pretty much laffed at me. Then he saw pics I'd sent him and was my best friend. So I took it out on his commission cause he just HAD to sell them. Blah. World's full of morons and I ain't dead yet. Why? Ya wanna buy sumpin? 😂😂😂 Ouch, will you quit stickin pins in that lil doll you have w/my name on it? Ouch. QUIT IT! 😂

Just keep him outta your face. Those two breeds are the worst on the planet according to an old vet I know. He has a Vet Hospital w/9 Vets working in there treating all kinds of pets. He charges out the rear but they're the best around. I saw him take a sedated lab off the table one day and put a bulldog of my sister's on the table w/a torsion. When I called him he said look at his eyes and if there's no blood showing in his eyes get here as fast as you can. It's stomach had flipped. Opened it up, flipped it back and stapled it to his rib cage. Crazy. Saved that dog then it got parvo and they sat with that dog 24/7 and saved it from that too. The lab got an extended nap. I didn't ask the cost but my sister gladly wrote the check. Guess they're pricey. I loved it when she started whining. Just gimme a mutt any day. Played a ton in my younger years. Gotta keep that swing werkin! Just another ace! lol I haven't seen it yet but she's got camera's all over that place. If I can figure out how to do it I will if she sends it. Thing is. She knows me too well. lol

@Marvel she picked up an old female rott at the shelter a few years ago. Someone bred her a lot then got rid of her. There are two dogs on the planet I'd NEVER own. A rott and a chow. They have the brain the size of a peanut. When they flip they will take your face off in a heartbeat. Finally a couple weeks ago the kids got her out of the cage when I was there hangin. They brought her over to me and she snuggled right in. She was fine after that but I was in defensive posture the entire time. Prior to that she'd been crated and going nuts wanting to tear me up when I stopped or was there w/them. Daughter's second one that's the thing. They're freaky for sure. I'm good w/any other dog on the planet except Rotts and Chows. Maybe they could just crate me and let the dog out when I'm there. Then I could take a nap.

Saw that youtube before and can't figure out why I'm watching it again. Must be Knopfler but it does give some an idea of the Klipsch sound. That instant gratification for newbies is right @billybob

Those have to sound amazing. Tons of work for sure. Beautiful John!

Freak out? Call Dad! 😂 Oldest: Dad there's a freakin squirrel in my house. I've got the dog in the crate and the cats locked in a bedroom. This thing is running all over the house who do I call. Dad: HAHAHAHAHA & HA! Suit up and get after it! Don't look at me. Go get it girl! 20 minutes later Oldest: I got it Dad. I put Joel's big coat on (he's 6'3), my hat and gloves, grabbed the broom and got it cornered. Then I chased it with the broom out the back door! Dad: Good girl! 😂 💪 Oldest: I've even got it all on video I'll send it to ya. 😂 Guess I could have told her if ya get a bat in there flyin around she could borrow my old tennis racquet hangin on a nail in the garage. Blah, I'll save it for another day. Gotta have a tennis racketl Carry on

@billybob Yea, it's like the old Little Ceaser pizza joint ad. 5 bucks, 5 bucks, it's ALL 5 bucks. It doesn't matter WHAT it is it's 5 bucks or close to it around here. Wild!

Time to ride or die! THAT was yesterday around my place. Rode that coaster once and it's killer. How's yer heart tough guys??? Mine was thumpin last night just like it was when I rode that thing... 60 miles north of me on the coast of Lake Erie here in Ohio. Bring your A game & the kids. I got the lodging covered here. Hour north to heaven or H3ll ! lol Being the tallest roller coaster and the first to top 300 feet wasn’t the only records broken when it opened in 2000. It debuted having the longest drop and the fastest speed topping out at 93 m.p.h. Ranking as one of the world’s best steel coasters year after year since its opening, this behemoth shoots riders over hills, past lagoons and through tunnels, all at unthinkable speeds. With its silhouette illuminated in the night sky, it’s hard miss the iconic coaster on the Cedar Point skyline. About the only way I can describe last evening. A roller coaster. I unzipped the Dom Martin lp's, quick eyeball and laid them here on the arm of the couch for later. Finally figured I'd throw them on for a listen. After I ordered them I'd heard them on youtube and thought this dude's act IS together. Little did I know HOW together. Turned on my "aura" over the table to take a quick photo for in here and filled my shorts. Signed? Personalized? WTF is going on here??? I didn't buy any signed copies so I hit the site to make sure. Nope. How? Why? It was going around in my head and I was loving it. So this dude tours then gets home and signs lp's for people randomly? Who knows but I'm forever grateful and WILL be sittin front row or preferably a tour case (it's cheaper and my rear fits one) when he hits the US. It was almost as nice when my youngest daughter walks in the door @ Christmas. Home from Phoenix. Just crazy! Forever grateful for him doing that. They'll be in Crate #2 of signed stuff. That way I'll know where to find them in this mess of lp's stacked everywhere. Dom Martin (29) is a Belfast born award winning singer/songwriter, inspired but not constrained by the blues. In the past 18 months he has burst onto the UK and European music scene with a unique guitar style and voice captivating the audience at every venue. His main influences are Rory Gallagher, Tom Waits, John Martyn, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Howlin Wolf and Muddy Waters. With five BBC Radio live sessions prior to a first album release, Dom impressed with his 2018 debut original EP “Easy Way Out” with BBC presenter Cerys Matthews describing his work as “absolutely wonderful stuff.” His debut album “Spain to Italy” was fully released on 4th December 2019 to critical acclaim and was an IBBA “Pick Of The Month” gaining airplay on around 100 stations globally. bluespowr.com - 'Spain to Italy is not just one of the best debut releases we’ve heard in some time but among the best albums we’ve heard from any artist this year' makingascene.org - 'The likes of Dom’s talent only comes around once in a lifetime' Fatea Records - 'A musician of unbridled talent and a future that is assured’ After his debut sell out “Spring ’19 UK Tour”, Blues in Britain Magazine said - "Now and again you stumble across a rare talent of such sheer genius that you actually wonder whether what you have witnessed can possibly be for real. Dom Martin is one such talent" (Last FM) Sooooo, he's influenced by Jimi? Watching this I saw that flair and thought Jimi, Mitch and Noel??? Welllll yea, but now it's on him to reach way down and perfect it. He's on the right track imo... Gonna be a great watch for sure. Yea, the old curmudgeon is waitin... Listen up. Ready GO! Only time will tell. An added bonus??? Seriously? On to his latest "Buried in The Hail." Just enough bump to catch ya and that Rory Gallagher twist w/an added touch of Jimi once again? Crazy good! First thoughts? These two are totally KILLAH lp's. More to follow as I kick back and take it all in. Lyrics, his work, his band they just push all the buttons. The acoustic side? Smooth and clean! If ya can't catch a groove you're either deaf or dead! 😂 Get off those gold cards your sittin HARD on! Get ya sum!

Ok, I'm drooling. Came up with this wild idea of boycotting Kroger so have been diving into the stockpile. About time to rotate things but also getting ready for a massive wallet rape maybe this week but could make it a couple more. Started thinking all ya really need is a baked tater w/sour cream and butter. Factored in a cob salad w/goodies once a day. So that runs about 84$ a week and it's good stuff not junk. I hit Kroger I buy more garbage than I should anc drop more than the 84 a week AND have to put it together. Bacon, chopped egg, cheese, lettuce ya wind up chopping? It aint rocket science but when ya involve the nickel & dime stuff along w/the all the other garbage I wind up buying? Blah. It's good for me and I'm dropping weight which is also good. Won't be long and I'll be right back in Kroger playin the game though. Life's boring like that. lol Gonna soooo beat that darn grasshopper! Just hope things are ok on his end. Crazy!
