Well that was a crazy minute. Guess I saw George's post on his updatea but it didn't register til Gary mentioned it so I went lookin. Yea, i took Saturday off and just gave it a quick read so had to go back and digest it. Yea, look at the boy go. Sheesh!

Got a good one there @AndreG. enjoy it. The movie sure was a hoot back in the day but you know that already i'm thinking.

NOT a chance on that one. But maybe! lolol He's just like the rest of us. Dialed in but thinkin cause we're all not right in here. 😂

Kinda maybe. 😂

There ya go whinin again! August 1st? Yay, it's payday! Wonder just how much this Keb Mo show is gonna cost me tomorrow nite now. Blah! We GO! 😂💪 😂

Nothing abby-normal about that, another day at work and another 50 cents. Crank it and relax. Wildfires suck! Sooooo, it's Hopper is it? Imma watchin ya man. Imma watchin. Cats are a dime a dozen unless ya got a "Cool Cat" like Freddie Mercury did. He even wrote a song about him. Yea, go check me out. 😂 Hopper sounds like a good dog but ya have to take into consideration the owner and the name game. Life's a game yanno ya just play the cards you're dealt. Don't EVEN try to slip one off the bottom of the deck cause Imma watchin that too with you. You're smooth brother so I'm keepin an eye on you! 😂 Speaking of cats, I saw this beauty on my walk downtown getting coffee the other day. My dream car as a kid. My cousin bought one in British racing green. Yea, his ex took it in the divorce. Always wondered what happend to it. lolol Hooked 'em up w/ Elton John tickets for his first US tour, the 11-17-70 tour, and she told me it was the worst show she'd ever seen and was dead serious. Yea, show me a sign??? Seriously? How bout a -1 cause you ain't a 10 by any means in my book! @grasshopper got any tips for @babadono when he's out swingin that weed whacker besides "FORE?" High of 80 today with a low of 59 here in Duckburg. I'm chill. Might knock out the dishes and eat sumpin now that the coffee's gone. Food's over-rated though. Kinda wondering now if Hopper likes table scraps or if he sits at attention patiendly waiting. @Invidiosulus???

The old man is road trippin tomorrow night. @JJkizak I'll expect to see you cause this show's gonna be a LAFFER. I STILL can't believe it's not SRO! Keb' Mo' is playin the Midlands Theater (600 max) in Newark, Ohio. Think 70 years old, blues ALL his life, steppin up his game, cause old guys are like that, and KILLIN this tour. Smoked 'em ALL @ Red Rocks and a 4.7 outta 5.0 show. Good? His schiit is TOTALLY together imo cause he just does NOT disappoint! Amazing lyrics, surrounded by youngin's who totally get it. Tickets at $80? UNHEARD of today! Dinner @ Elliot's a couple of beers and a one block walk to the theater? Gimme a break. Get there early @JJkizak cause the family needs a night out! Get off that gold card! Yup, two days comin at ya so kick back or run. Like I care? I'm THERE! Time to rape and pillage! 😂 He's just werkin for the weekends. "Soon as I Get Paid" from 1994? Ha! From 97 but the 2019 Crossroads version (slayed it) was naturally locked outta youtube. @JJkizak it's your turn in the barrel today. HAD to saddle ya up a bit but this show is gonna be worth the drive. Call the box office and pick 'em up at will call. Ya get a REAL ticket instead of somethin on your cell. Blah. Whatever happened to the OLD days? I'll even buy ya a beer @ Elliot's. Just look for the old guy takin every step as if it were his last. Might even be sportin my Klipsch 75th year black hat just for you. I'd enjoy sharin a beer w/ya! 😂 Just think about this. Tomorrow you old curmudgeons get another dose of the SAME thing just the new stuff! Suffer! It's FREE (athough I'm a member of the Forum and you should be too cause nothin in life is free) so Imma gonna burn some bandwithd or whatever it's called. Blah! I'm just sharin the love! 😂

Lil football news I picked up today. A couple weeks ago Ohio State was discussing the possibiity of making the Michigan game become just another game and not the last one of the year. It seems there's a possibility of having two grudge games in one season. Once for the rivalry and the last game of the regular season either team could wind up in the B1G playoffs playing each other for a second time. People went insane. Break an almost 100 year tradition because of scheduling? The most watched COLLEGE game ever? Ya nuts? Well last year the B1G added a couple teams but the games won't happen just yet. Scheduling the new teams into the rotation right? So today, THIS surfaces from a friend. The B1G is going to add 4 more teams with an announcement this week I heard. Ready? Florida State, Oregon, Washington and Clemson? Seriously? Let the wallet rape begin! A road trip to/from ANY of them would be outta site for the average fan. So you watch it on TV? There goes the prices. ESPN & cable will go up (gotta watch ur team), more commercials on regular networks (as if they aren't eating up the clock) already. Those in attendance MAY get it but the entire time the networks are on commercial break the players are standing around waiting. Hurts the continuity of the game. "Yup, quick snap it NOW and catch 'em off guard," Nope, commercial break. lolol Just feed the machine. This isn't the end either. The next phase of the master plan is gonna blow minds. Eliminating tailgates! It's etched in stone already just like this was. Just like the NIL. NFL ticket prices for college games? Wait, does that mean NFL tickets are going up? That machine is HUNGRY! FEED IT! Maybe old Nostradamus wasn't too far off in his predictions afterall. 😂😂😂

Yea, just noticed I had a lil typo so changed it to "shift" lol

But you have a new dog to walk? I see what you did there! You can opt outta the dog but it's clearly evident that pretty lil kitty wubs you. Kids see it yet? 😂

Yup, about what I've been doing lately. Funny how all the fast food places are trying to shift to plant-based garbage. Ppl will buy it though and think it's great! lol

Think Nissan! lolol Grands are still divin in the back yet. Soooo NOT doin the speaker in and out thing! Zero chances of that happening. Been a crash dummy all my life. lol

hahahahahaha @ you two! I knew it was coming and yup it did! 😂

@justonemore Brothers Johnson? Man it's been a minute for that great old song! Mazzy can hang too. Just a gaggle of old curmudgeons sharin the love. Welcome!

I'm feelin sumpin. Dunno what yet though. ^^^^^ LOVE, Portnoy comin in on drums @ about 3 minutes. Damn Skippy! WHEW it's hot and SPOT ON! That's WHY I've got the drive-time slot at the station and why @JohnJ's takin out the trash! 😂 💪 HAD to Johnboy! 😂

@Full Range I actually REMEMBER that song but forgot completely about it. Thanks! Can't remember who was playing it over here but we all knew the words. Ha, now THAT'S funny hearing it! See you ARE good for something! Sharin the love from down-under!

Yea, it'll happen now that I've planted the seed. hahaha Have a pair of Klipsch "something" sittin in the garage taking up space. 15$ @ an auction? Someone had taken the horns out prior to the sale so no one wanted them but me. I was thunkin but it'd never fit in my rear deck and Roy would prolly have my story on the install hanging on the toilet stall door for everyone to read in Hope. He's sneaky like that me thinks! lolol

No new felt here and not even a table anymore. I used to hold my own but today it'd be ugly. I'll just give you guys a couple quarters and watch if that's ok. 😂 90% of my weight problem I believe is attributed to the military. I was always border-line w/the weight and could pass the PT test. I worked the "other" muscle group. I rode about 150 miles a week on my 18-speed and loved it. Jammin with the headphones on and crankin. Couple of us would ride 20 miles one way, do ice cream and ride 17mph back home a couple times a week. THAT kept the gut off and sweatin like a pig made it even better. The thing was, I worked directly for a 2-star. He had to rain on my parade EVERY time we'd run in formation. Fell in right behind me EVERY time just to watch. Yea, he was a pushin for sure and it got to be old. I loaded up eating garbage just to spite him That dude ran marathons and could prolly run backwards faster than most. So yea, you know what I'm thinkin. It worked in the military until I retired. Down hill from then on. Still rode but not as much then loaded up on crap cause I hate to cook. Then toss in getting older and it becomes even more complex. Today, after throwin in a new car system yesterday, I took a ride out thru the Ohio corn fields to give it a test run. Sounds amazing but on the way outta town I swung thru McD's drive thru w/my own mugga. 2 hours later the mugs empty and I feel like crap. Time to shoot up. I don't even hit McD's or any other places anymore. Blah. Lately I haven't even HAD to shoot up at times. Today? Sucks to be me. Been sittin here reading but after this morning I'm starting to wonder where that Weight Watchers pay up" cup is. Back to the grind I guess. lol

Good point and the best of reasons actually! You got it all werkin down there. At times I think I'm stayin alive just to spite the ex. Heck of a reason actually cause the Bee Gees song by that name really does suck imo. Make sure you've got the platform shoes on and know every one of those lil hand gestures and moves before you even attempt to go with the flow. 😂 💪 Interesting day yesterday. A good friend/s son and grandson started a car audio store years ago. I never thought I'd actually upgrade anything in what I drove but the bug hit. Knew the old speakers were trash but one day I caught static from the kid about how could I drive a car w/a system that totally sucked? Never listen to it anyway it's just noise but I do have my moments. Yesterday I caved. Grandpa always told me to tell his kid to give me the "DEAL!" You ALL know how that rolls. Either a deal or a wallet rape so I didn't say squat just bought 2 spkrs for the rear and was gonna blow off the doors. 26 year old immaculate Nissan Maxima my momma never drove. 130k on it but it's minty and a head turner. Old guy in old car. I laff and they make payments every month. So I go in yesterday to have 'em throw 'em in. Took dad & the kid 18 minutes to swap 'em and they had everything outta the rear end while jokin around w/me tellin stories on grandpa. So I upped my game. Wanna throw a pair in the doors since it's a cool day today? So they threw two in the doors. 25 minutes later done BUT I'd hit 'em with "the DEAL" story for another hoot. His kid remembered me and knew me but then... The right channel on the 26 year old never used radio went intermittant. WTF some DEAL right? Wrong. They had an Alpine they'd been hoarding. Some high roller dropped big bucks and his wife diddn't like it so he told 'em to pull it and put what SHE wanted in it. Told them to keep it cause he didn't want to see it again and wasn't gonna mess w/selling it so they did. Threw that in the car for FREE and laffed the entire time. Guy had it in his car for 2 weeks they said. The kid wanted to make money but dad said why. Just give it to him cause he's a good friend of dads. 😂 There is a God in heaven afterall. Poor grandpa got thrown under the bus but he'll take it well. Can't wait to hear HIS side of it all when we bump again. They were grinnin big time when I left but I was totally lost. I just turned it up. Haven't tinkered with it much but plan to. It flat cooks in that lil thing. lol Great 30 minute drive home. The down side? Daughter called last nite and wants to borrow the car for a couple hours today cause her brakes are shot but they couldn't do it til Monday. My poor new system, fresh outta the box is gonna have 2-Pac at max volume the entire time. Sucks to be me! Got her back though since she planted the seed. Put the OLD speakers in the new speaker boxes and gonna wrap them up and give 'em to her for Xmas. Gonna share the love! 😂 Gonna make a run to McD's for a snausage mc muffin w/egg now and show dem kids a thing or three. Takin my mugga with me cause their coffee sucks. Ha! Might take a lil drive out in the country too and eyeball the corn fields. High of 80 today, bit of rain last nite here in Duckburg but I think Imma gonna make it. At least until this eveniong when she drops the car off. Grrrrrrrr! lol

@the real Duke Spinner Imma grinnin but nope not touchin that one!

Bought an old Mac4100, had it gone thru and cleaned up, tied in an old Thorens TD-160 table and the Heresy are now beside the French doors about 8' away from me. No Dual's. lol If ya look at the pic you'll see my knee. I've got a glass and steel rack beside the oak black glassed cabinet the stuff sits on. My big JBL twin bass cab sits perfectly under an old 1" MSB store display cabinet covered on all sides w/black formica. Beside that is an old military solid oak cabinet. You think your tite? The cabinet cost me $40 and the black displaycabinet cost me 35. There's an inch of space on each end of the bass cabinet. Room on top for the TV box, which we all know are junk, and 127 remotes kinda maybe. My butcher block cost 1800 new and I picked it up at an auction for I think $110. Talk about heavy? Wow. Solid maple butcher top w/very little use. 3 years of nosin for it. Had to be right. Got a nice open drawer and a pull out cutting board. Drawer is new sleeves and junk. End of the shelves is my VPI cleaning machine. Everything came together perfectly in TIME and it was built on the cheap cause I'm cheap yet want the best for my system. No hurry here. So patience is a virtue. Oh yea, my "aura" above the Linn is a chopped down flourescent sewing embroidery light. My trusty old hacksaw chopped about 4 feet off the thing. Put it together and grinned. I wanna SEE what I'm doing when I change it up. $175 new but paid &15 and replaced the bulb about 6 months later for 40. Not takin ANY prisoners here and I miss that butt crack of yours but mine's older and prolly bigger. 😂 Be a cold day before I spend a couple k on a system rack cause I ain't gonna impress noooobody! Don't wanna either. Watchin jaws drop is my new hobby! I'm D.O.N.E.!ll

Givin it a full run and it's actually put together very well. Different yet holds your attention. A steady diet? Nope, but it's a nice change up you old tight wad! hahaha Keep it up and it'll look like this place. There is ZERO room. 5 piles standin on the floor with each one being about 18 inches long. You'll be there in no time! Got faith in ya brother. Pics a couple years old. lol I'm dyin if I'm lyin! It's BAD! 😂 💪 😂

Not soundin too bad @AndreG.. Bout 11:30 here and I'm still werkin out on that coffee pot! Thanks for steppin mah game up! lol Prolly STILL won't get much done today though! 😂

Yes, Sir da coffee's been enhanced just a tad! Feelin kinda frisky. Dianna Krall tucked me in and I rolled over to coffee w/these two? Gimme, gimme I'm pourin the coffee boys. Lookin kinda low there @Tarheel!
