WillyBob Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I spent a week on the beach in the OlympicRainForest. It didn't rain for the whole time. The fog was so thick, it didn't need to rain to be wet/dripping. I did a lot of things when I was young and irresponsible/r 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I need a sponsor. I just “won” a second pair of Heresy this month on eBay. This afternoon I met the young middle school band director at the duplex I’m rehabbing so she could see and hear the first Heresys won this month. I guess her mother never warned her against meeting strange men in empty buildings. Naturally, she was impressed. “They’re much better than the computer speakers that ‘crackle’ when turned up,” she said. I assured her we could put together a system for less than $1,000. I’ll let my son have first choice between the first pair and this pair. I showed her my older son’s faux-pro Heresy as an example of what the school’s will look like. Dave @wvu80 do you monitor eBay sales to populate your spreadsheet with data? Contact me if you need numbers on my two recent Heresy purchases on eBay. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been wondering when it will get back to normal. The last handful of days has been very nice (back to normal). We would love a handful of nice days. In 2016-2017, over a span of 178 days, Seattle had 123 with rain or snow, 149 with more than 70 percent cloud cover, and just nine -- that's nine, as in two more than a week -- with less than 30 percent cloud cover. Of course on average we have 308 cloudy days per year. Of course, that is offset by the rain. From October 2017 through April 2017, we got 44.67 inches of rain, not that anyone noticed. But really, out summers are gorgeous. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Houston is like a tropical paradise but without the paradise. I agree but not because of the weather. OK that was mean. But yeah you get about 50 and we get about 40. But you get hurricanes and that really is cheating. Should not count. I had no idea you got that much. And the humidity, plus it is in Texas, and plus it is Houston. Why does anyone live there? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weather is good. I'll take sweltering heat any day over those nasty, wet, icy winters. We had a mere 3 days of nasty, cold and icy. That's plenty enough for me. I could not envision living anywhere where that kind of weather is the norm. Cost of living is very good, too. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not good, had no idea it was that cloudy. It must be very light rain on average. I looked it up and Seattle gets an average of a little over 37" per year, New Orleans gets 60" per year and that's with an average of 219 sunny days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all the same, it just depends on if it is the eyes of the weirdo, crackpot or whatever name, doing the deciding ? A crackpot sees a weirdo differently that a fruitcake does, and endless other combinations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your specific problem I can't think of a better place than a Klipsch Pilgrammage for an intervention. Three days surrounded by Klipsch speakers, watching them being built, hearing the newest cinema line, concert Klipsch at Rodney's, yeah, that should break you of the habit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I have no clue why people live where winter is way longer than summer or rainy cloudy and wet most of the year. Yes it's hot and humid down here but that's still better than wet, cold frozen and no sunshine. A couple or 3 extra months are summer are handy. imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
