I wonder if the Klipch family intersected with mine... somewhere They might have. Maybe Grandma helped PWK on his 3rd grade math homework, and got him motivated to study sound theories 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consult people whose opinions you value for recommendations. Get second opinions. I did want to trust the doctor and always have, but the medicine made us question if it was right since the side affects were so bad and not just a chance, this was going to happen. That case was the only time I have heard more than one doctor say, you need to report this to the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBob Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I'm gonna change the subject .... Was digging thru my vinyl. There some gems in there. BlackSabbath, JeffBeck, ELP a few I need to revisit. See if they sound good now. Music, sometimes, doesn't age well. Triumvirat is still OK... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 We are getting into kite flying season. Spring is sun-up to sundown wind. that will last thru May. Dust off a few. I was starting to get a nice collection of kites. "Sponsored" a KiteDay at the wife's school. There aren't that many kids in this school ... 25 kids in an average year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 I never knew I was a baby boomer until I saw a commercial that said you are a boomer if you were born between 1945 and 1965.....I thought boomers were all old folks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 There is some dispute about the end of that demographic. OGenX has been pegged as early as 1954, in a more culturally influenced way of definition. Certainly by 1961 there was much less in common with the mainstream boomer, and the emergence of what is called OGenX came to be defined.
