JohnJ Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What's the scale of that little monster? No violin on his back, but I'd squash him all the same!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female spiders are larger than their male counterparts and typically eat them after mating. And they do it without lawyers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 So if that is sandstone of something like that I'd think that bugger is 1 1/2 in diameter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He he he, we've discussed creepy-crawlers before. Believe me we are kindred spirits here. Do you utter "Die MF'er Die" (infamous Z-Rock station song) when you smush them like I do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 the scary part of finding one of those in your house... they are finding large enough items to eat. We just shoo them out.. ... and if you need something to keep ugly/scary in perspective check out sun spider/soldefuge[?]. Big AND ugly. No venom... they will bite the shyte outa ya. They can eat June bugs... Chew them up, eat them... wife is torn between Lord of the Rings and StarWars being on all weekend. Me, I am thankful for/to have the doghouse... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many legs does that big sukka have? 10? Or is that two sets of fangs up front? It's an alien! do not click: NSFW NSFChildren NSFSnowflakes bad words ahead Remember Z-Rock was blasted loudly by our military for days 24 hrs a day to pester manuel noriega to give. Think they ended up shelling his palace.

WillyBob Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 we did have a house guest that I did mind. A baby rattler came in with some wood, thawed out and went under the stove. 2 months we on edge... the stove doesn't move it's a 2cu/ft Englander. Couple hundred pounds w/o the fire brick The cats alerted us to the snake. Cats and snakes seem to be mortal enemies. When our cats aren't telegraphing their punches, you can't see them. Think cat/snake are on level ground where quick is involved 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDBRbuilder Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Does anybody here remember back in the mid-70's when Yamaha came out with a home speaker that had a woofer shaped like a baby grand piano soundboard? It was heavily-touted by them as the way of the future and then it just suddenly kinda disappeared from their line-up after a year or so! I kinda figured that they probably had too many issues with blown woofers in it, myself...since the power wars were in full-blown activity about the same time! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way...I certainly remember that the woofer took up almost the entire motor-board area...when compared with most of the other Japanese-made competition, anyway! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Here’s a link to a discussion of “Ear” speakers: https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/yamaha-ear-speakers.485065/ They were, apparently, open baffle. I recall reading about them, but I never heard a pair. As I recall, Shakespeare mentioned them in Julius Caesar, when Marc Antony said, “ . . . . lend me your ears.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
