Sitting in my bud's barber shop dowtown, barber steve says, you should to geeet yourself some airhorns on that thing.

 

My neighbor/friend had a dump truck, i got him a "starter" set of air horns for his birthday, he loved it. But it was a mistake by me, he would pull up to the house early in the morning when he wanted to do something and blow the horn.

Oh man, i do not even know how to respond to this.....

Ok, spiderman stated, "With power comes responsibilty"

This i have, and must continue to live with, i can blow people into the street, crash cars, cause untold havick.

Yes indeed, i installed my "Clayton" Valve on the floorboard where in order to "pull it" i need to flip up two midconsole seats.

Thank god i did this, we all have people that deserve the use of a "FullPull", if i could have gotten to this Valve one more than once, i would be in jail.

I do let the farmers know im coming (wile on the freeway) 2.5 miles......as the crow flys.

Even the small horns can get really loud, I have to say once while riding with him someone started to pull out in front of us and he blew the horn, i think it really helped prevent the accident.

 

Somewhere on you tube is videos of people blowing large horns scaring unsuspecting people, it's pretty funny.

That's true, I remembered the loudest horn I have ever heard and knew I had a pic. A ship horn, couldn't get any closer but it's a good size electric motor, where the pic is from is not where you want to be when it goes off.

Good evening gang.....   Wow, so much going on........!

 

First off, thanks for the GREAT photos Chuck!  Enjoyed looking at those fireworks and all the personalities too ^_^ ^_^

 

Mark, thanks for the compliment on the EH-K's  ....   Those amps were on from 2pm. until I closed up Music Hall around midnight!! 

ALSO, when you started talking about high power locomotive horns (I think of Leslie brand), BUT, I started thinking about a very good video of this smallish car coming around a bend late at night.............AND THEN, you POSTED THAT VIDEO !!!   (what are the chances :D )    But yeah, with those DB levels, you MUST proceed with caution for sure...

 

Well, enjoy your new found and official retirement...   I will be 63 next month, and figure I have 2 more years as worker bee.......Car will be paid for then, and half that will turn into a monthly health insurance payment...........should all work out...  

 

All my LED outdoor lightings were turned on this evening, new additions each year, tastefully done I assure you....    I will have photos...........GEEZ, I have photos of Halloween AND Thanksgiving to share.............better get off my azzz huh ??

 

Enjoy the evening...........kitchen cleanup, then some music practice before rehearsal tomorrow after work...

"(I think of Leslie brand)" man, i just do not wish to be a part of it anymore, i know of the Leslie's, the one's i want are the current Amtrack horns, i hear them every day being ony a 1/2 mile from the south/west side of the roseville trainyard.

Sweet tuned is an understatment, but then again, i wish to be DONE with this youngin sport.

Good Monday morning.

It's been decades since I've had an alcohol fueled hangover, after way way too many in the 70s. I find that too much food can result in a hangover also. My theory is that excess amounts of alcohol or food requires your body to rid itself of the excess, which disrupts sleep, which generates a hangover. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on TV, but that's my theory and experience.
