When the hurricane before Rita came through my oldest daughter and I drank Hurricanes. I know its cliché but thats what she wanted. I don't recall how many we had. Don't recall the hurricane either. Lol.
Those drinks can be deceiving, they don't taste that strong but feel like it in the end.

Were safe, it's sunny now, but I have a feeling that may change.
It looks like @grasshopper may get some rain from his West ?

@dtel you guys be safe.
Will try, so I guess the wearing a bathing suit and watching from the roof is out of the question ? Like Ron White says, " it's not that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing. "

Bring your A game.
I don't remember what katrina was, but we had 140 mph winds here, we were right on the edge of the eye. They have now changed the warning for this area from Hurricane to tropical storm warning. Hope they are right, must be a skinny storm?
Just to check just for research purposes I will go out to the tiki bar tomorrow night and watch what heppens, might have to numb myself a little in case I get hit with something, just to be cautious. Hope the electricity stays on so I can play the radio.

You know when you get down to it those things suck . The bike trail that takes me back home is loaded with them . They hiss at you , stand in your way and are generally unpleasant ; kinda like vagrants . I have yet to throw down with one of them but it is gonna happen sometime .
Not only that but they constantly eat, so they leave a trail of poop wherever they go. This is about 1/3 of them, they are here all year, if you get to close they make noise and go the other way. I have not tried to run up on them I think they would probably come after me ? If they get mean I will find a recipe, never tried it but might ?

We've had a "guest" the passed couple nights. A baby tarantula. Tried to coax it out the night before last, but, it was buggered from the cats chasing it and was uncooperative. It ran [they are fast, when they want to be] and hid under the china hutch. Made n appearance last night. Came right up to us while we were watching tv. Put an empty tobacco can over it, slid a piece of cardboard under the can and took it outside. Really surprised the cats dinna git it while it was indoors. They're slipping.
Just no, instead of a can I would have put something large and heavy on it in a hurry, that is if it lived through all the chemicials I would regularly be pumping everywhere. OK who am I kidding, I wouldn't live where they have those things in the first place. nope

See you all are lockin down already. Get that "lil shed" buttoned up and stay safe down there.
Never did anything yet, the shed just needs the doors closed and it's done. But I will need to take down bird feeders and hummingbird feeders plus the 2 flags and 6 ferns. Then we may stay or leave, if it turns into a 3 we will probably leave.

I call it cheap, I am good at that, the most expensive part will be the 5 sheets of plywood. I just like making things and always need something to do, I am not very good at doing nothing.

What they heck are badges?
We don't need no stinkin badges.
I have no idea, no one has any badges it seems. I have no idea about any of it, I guess it was added with the latest change ? The little rocket ships are kind of strange, looks like it going up Floyd's nose.

The forum itself is part of self advertisement. The aim of the company is to make money. As for learning about you, your guess is as good as mine, but for all the information shared here algorithms seem unnecessary.
And like anywhere online when you post a pic your posting it everywhere.
I once searched online for a certain speaker and was a little suprised to see my living room picture which was posted here, never thought about it before that.
This is the only place I do any social media stuff, if this is considered that ?

I thought so....A big difference here is Klipsch isn't making money on advertisement, "at least I don't think they are" I also don't think Klipsch is running algorithms to learn more about you? Am I wrong?
Algorithms, I highly doubt it, I doubt anyone even looks here, we have to send Chad a message to get ahold of him.
They don't make money from the forum but it is used as tech support which is smart and dangerous.

I would not worry much about SS electronics on the speakers, I have all of mine on a sub and had no problems. It's a receiver, BR player, satellite receiver, 3 amps and a active crossover. It's a large sub about 6' wide and powerfull, it does not even make the BR disc skip which I was worried about.

From what I heard the first batch was like that and they are being reprinted so until then they are out. Mine was not bent that much.

found out that I have something [else] wrong with me.
a condition called synesthesia. When I jam on my keyboard, I see what I am playing in colors when I close my eyes.
And to think you did not have to pay extra for that. Sounds pretty cool actually

Nice, I would wear it, but that might have just lowered the bar on how it looks to others ?

Headed toward you not me at present.
Of course........subject to change without notice.
I seen that a few minutes ago, after reading the discussion they think it will be a pretty good strength before it makes land.
But what they said there is uncertainy, which is what they and everyone does best with these things.

Not sure what it was but almost any procedure is no fun.
Riding with the wife in the am to the dentist, in case I have to drive home.
