Yep it feels great outside, 78 degrees, 39% humidity and a 9 mph breeze, for once I am working and not sweating.

I read once that that men curse so that they don't put their fist through drywall ????
Well that makes sense.
I will never forget when I first met you, it was in line for bbq on the back porch of the farmhouse in Hope at pilgrimage. Fini was even there from California, that was the year Trey pulled my name and I won some Cornwalls and Daddy Dee won some RF7's.

Well darn! Didn't win Power Ball or Mega Millions.
Me neither, but I did not donate any money to the cause either.
Anyway you might be a dangerous person with that much money ?

I hope he likes that nickname at least.
It really makes no difference to me, friends can call me anything, I just don't like cursing, I just don't do it, maby a few mild ones.

I forgot, yes you do say it like that, don't remember the sir but you know I don't always pay attention and then there is the half deaf thing.

I'm here for you to look at and say "you know, my life ain't all that bad."
actually, despite everything (and there's been a bunch of it) in my life, I feel extremely blessed. Besides, as a Christian, I don't believe this world is all there is going to be, so I'm sure I'll fair better in the next one.
I have thought many times over the years I was odd, but being here it might not be as bad as I thought, or we are just all odd, either way it's good.
And yes I know I a blessed in many ways and yes there is more than this life.

Rumor has it Tarheel ranks among the 20 oldest living males. Older than dirt, younger than dust. But as a Nod to the Southern Gentleman, he looks darn good for his ranking. So he has that -He does not look his age, then there is the LF, we will subtract some years for pulling that off.

Thank you, i thought were about the same age.

Yes but answer to anything, I know it's odd, should see my last name it's just as strange. Luquet, even my teachers in school got it wrong, it's all good.
18 minutes ago, BigStewMan said:Although, legend has it that he is El don, aka The Don of South Mississippi. Maybe The Godfather was modeled after him? Who knows with guys that have legends.
Not even close, if there was any legend connected it was not for good things way back then.

We do but we also have fun, I'm just not good at being recognized, it's unconfertable, but also don't want to be rude and not thank people.

I knew it was around now. You're about a month and a half older than I am. Happy Belated.
Really, I thought you were younger, whatever your doing keep it up, it's working. At least were not as old as Tarheel, but he did make it we can only hope.
Then your about the same age as Craig.

Well thank you all, but really I just help out, nothing special. But your right I am kind of a fan of the brand.
Tiny, no but I am on a diet and lost 20 so far and a bunch more to go, need to lose more to help to not get so worn out.......but I need to remember I'm 64 so there's that.

I tried something different, last night I ordered a gallon of rust oleum paint and a gallon of mineral spirits plus a few 4" paint rollers from home depot.
Our local store is 15 miles away, one way, but for $8.99 they would deliver to the house which they did at 8am this morning. It saved a 30 mile drive and probably over an hour, not sure how they make much off of this service. There is a $45 minimum but was very handy, we would have spent half or more of the charge in just gas.

Cool looking chair but not great for listening except with headphones. The sound reflections while in it would be pretty bad I would think, it does look very cool and in great shape. Like surround sound from just 2 ch ?

I have no idea, I was just told about it, I don't know where it was read ?

It was a big suprise to me also, I somewhat have no idea what goes on with the museum on anything except what needs to be done to get the building ready to be used.
When we go back in about 3 weeks to paint the ceiling which we just hung sheetrock, floated and lightly textured for the HT room, the walls are old paneling so we primed them. All will be painted whatever color they pick then flooring. Roy will decide what speakers and how the room will be set up for HT, it's a good size room will be nice.
Then the second floor will be started, Craig was talking about what we could use the third floor for which is not all that big, I told him, you are very optimistic about how long were going to live.
But it will be really nice when it's done, much more room than the original building, it's ( I think ) around 4200 Sf. It will have "period" rooms with a usable system from different times in the past.
This past trip we went to Eldorado and picked up a pair of Khorns which were donated by a chirch, one from 1954 and the other from 1957, probably originally was mono then another added ? We plugged them in, one tweeter not working but they sounded great, way better than I expected. I wanted to hear the difference from then to now, it was way less of a difference than I expected.

Well Thank you.
I am just a small part of all of this, many have helped to make this museum come true, I am just a very little part. (not in weight)
4 hours ago, ssh said:Scott is no doubt smiling on you.
That makes me happy to think about that, being part of anything to do with Scott Yocum or the award in his Honor is a big deal to me and a privilege. Time spent working with Mr Yocum was way to short for me, I wish I could have had more time to get to know him better but it was fun. He would laugh, he wore a headband to help with sweat and I called him the karate Kid. Wish he could have been around much longer.
It's also big deal to me that they decided to pick me, it's not something I had ever thought about before finding out. It was all about making a museum as best we can to honor PWK's story and history, he deserves that at the very least.
It was also all about having the chance to work with some really nice and fun people, I have to name Craig Strause since he is who is in charge of renovations and I work with everyday, and of course Karen Joy and Donna. And of course Jim Hunter, who if you don't know is a funny guy, you never know what Jim is going to say.
So many good people, like SSH, as nice of a person as you could meet, I still have that cigar you gave me from Mr Yocum that was intended to be smoked with you, it's in the china cabinet to remind me of him everytime I see it. Thank you.
Craig, you are the main reason I do whatever I can to help. Thank You.
And of course Chief Bonehead for many reasons, including all the respect he has for PWK and for just how he is as a person. Thank You.
I did have a couple rules
#1 I will not go under a house (spiders) and I don't want to die under a house in Hope with a old building causing it.
#2 No getting on the roof (3 storys high). I am old and have no ballerina skills, and gravity would get me, and also the dying thing.

Everybody has said the same thing, I think I will have little problem getting used to it. It was a little rough last night butwe were also connected to a pile of wires in a strange bed and place, just the cpcp should be much easier.
I know I need one, I snore very loudly everyone says, and wake up tired alot. When in Hope working I sleep all night and get up and we drink a couple cups of coffee then drive to the musuem. I ride with Craig to the museum and have more than once fell a sleep after all of that, something is wrong.

It all sounds good except the 6:15 part, I would go to the bathroom and go back to sleep.
