billybob Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Well, dtel is working on his first cup after fighting with the automatic coffee maker! Seems he got so used to his old fashioned drip pot that this automatic coffee maker engaged him in battle for almost an hour! First run completely missed the pot and ran all over the table! Lol Dang, glad Dtel got a cup after all that! New fangled coffee makers anyway! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joessportster Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Joe tell me what Jriver is/does please. In a nutshell it is a media library, you store your library of music, video and photos with it, and it offers a lot more options to customize, it also has a lot more features than say WMP I mainly use it as my Music player, and It was much easier (after the learning curve) to get my 20,000 files in order and under 1 codec (flac) all tagged with the meta data If you are thinking about ripping a cd collection and want it all st up in a nice library mode with tons of options I highly recommend it with 1 caveat you need to at least be comfortable with a computer 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joessportster Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 just noticed the No BS thread and tried to click on it and it says must have 5000 posts How the heck do we reach 500 posts when Our count keeps getting screwed with ?? I have seen my post count change for the worse at least 3 times now, I had quit watching worrying with it first reason for the adjustment was Right this minute mis counts or something, I have probably visited Right This minute 20-30 times total and my post count has dropped well over 1000 at this rate it is certainly a special place for special people 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 just noticed the No BS thread and tried to click on it and it says must have 5000 posts It'll get there Joe! Meanwhile, you posts are interesting and easy to read so post away. Been learning quite a bit of what was unaware of. My feeling on the music and headphone subject is changing somewhat by your experiences with them. From looking around, seems a lot of folk are still turning onto the inner ear audio experience, both young and older. Have you considered a bookshelf A/B...lol Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a respectable pair of book shelf speakers . Though they sound very good I always reach for the volume knob and the drivers begin to distort Bass is the BASE / Foundation of music and when its lacking the music just sounds thin and un involving and I cant listen for long, I have a pair of iem but I find my ear canal itches when I use them for extended sessions which is irritating a hell Good to know someone likes to hear me babble 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babadono Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Mornin' Gang, Still early here, downing cup #3. I'm off today on a 3 to 4 hour drive to check out a cherry RSW-15. Sure hope its a nice as the guy claims. Looking for a twin to the one in the family room HT. Wish me good fortune. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) hey everyone... Keeping in shape Chuck--well done. Ride safely though. Rock on Gary-wish i was there. Glad to hear that the intro to Fat Bottom Girls is part of the set. Battling a hefty infection in a tooth that previously had a root canal. i hate going to the dentist. Was talking to a friend that was the Pastor of a church i attended in Michigan--he made a comment (talking about surgery in general) that sometimes the pain gets so bad we toss our fears aside and tell the doc to do whatever it takes…i got to that point yesterday, only the dentist said i need to see a specialist to have this fixed. he did give me antibiotics to start fighting the infection, so hopefully as that begins to clear, the pain will reduce as well. I’ll be taking it easy again today--probably stare at the idiot box and try to keep my mind off the pain. Have an enjoyable day folks.

Yes, once those antibiotics kick in some there Steve, you will get some peace. Amoxicillin always knocked it down for me, and keeping still as possible. Sometimes, ice helped.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted July 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 11, 2015 Day 1. Hooked up water for upstairs. Created indoor waterfall. Water poured through seams in sheetrock. Turned water off, cut hole in upstairs floor. fixed broken pipe, turned water on, created secondary waterfall. Cut hole in sheetrock, found secondary leak. Copper pipes! Did I say dtel hates plumbing. Partied with regulars last night to celebrate creating waterfalls. As always, dinner was excellent. Rodney cooked center cut smoked porked chops, smothered potatoes, fresh crowder peas from the garden, fried green tomatoes and fried eggplant. Fresh from the garden tomato salad and hot water cornbread. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
