grasshopper Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I guess I'm a party animal. I drink coffee every day with no pants on... I wear a sarong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Don't look at me that way... a sarong is for men that don't have the legs for a kilt. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 oh, the temptation https://tucson.craigslist.org/ele/d/green-valley-klipsch-forte-ii/7514767234.html yeah, they have cosmetic imperfections. I wonder how bad. These are local to me. Only 40 miles. Not bad, considering it is 23 miles to the interstate from here 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The low price would be negated by me having to drive from Georgia to pick them up... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 When I was gonna buy another pair of LS. Wife sez, "You already have some of those" I don't have any of these... and are closer than the nearest supermarket. I drove cross-country to pick up my LS. I was planning the trip before I bought them, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Talk to us @grasshopper I didn't come through clean with my last relapse of upgradeitis. Maybe we can help yours though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Upgradeitis??? I'm stumped. Two days of over thinking about this receiver and where it's gonna go in my line up. I'm back to square one and going to go with my original idea of the shelves under the butcher block and building my shelves. It may work under there but we're talking one inch or less clearance. I'm totally outta room. I want a nice SS system and the Mac/Heresy sound of the early 80's but... Coffee is brewing so maybe that will help. Hit Jam Night Friday and Scotty the bass man picked up a new bass, which sounded fantastic. He's a great guy and can run with the best. Toured with Foghat and several other groups back in the day. He's good and I mean good. Zero tone controls with only a kill switch on it. Funny watching him go but what a great sound. We were laffin our rears off discussing my 75th Bday bash in a couple years. It's in the early planning stages right now. Hope I'm around to pull it off. 😂. Wait, did I just fire up another pot of coffee? lolol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a chronic, acute case of it man, not a relapse! Second pot? Not me, must have passed a stone a couple days ago `cause I know I don't have the clap! Just the 24 oz today (almost two cups) then cranberry juice and water since to negate it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convincing the wife I need them... that may be a bigger trick than getting the LS in the car. That and finding a place in the house to set them. This house is only ~900sq/ft and housing the LS The RP600Ms are in a room [building] of 140sq/ft. TBH I'm quite happy with the gear I have. The price is what I found so attractive on the Fortes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had gone that way you could get the spl of the LS in the house maybe. I get it! & the better half can be challenging at times! My pc now is almost as good a sound as a regular stereo now... so I'm in remission now! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Yea, I'm in remission too. Coffee remission! Going out to mow! rofl 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 the "doghouse" was called that before I set up shop in it. There was an old lady living in there when we bought the place. She went by the name Coyote.... I go out there to listen to music when the wife is home. She sez I can listen to music in the house. My response is always "No, I can't". I typically listen "at volume"... unsecured items fall off shelves 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 whew.... sunny and stciky humid. Not a cloud in the sky this AM. a typical monsoon day. 65` at sunrise... 95` now. It is gonna rain. Clouds are bubbling up. I've been being domestic. Dishes and laundry. We are having fun now. Well, in a few minutes. Coming up on cocktail time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Talked to the youngest last night and she was playing golf in Scottsdale when the monsoon hit. hahaha She's hanging around too many good golfers out there but playing free so it's all good. I kinda wanna throw the gauntlet down next time I'm out there but I'm afraid she might whoop me. Prolly smarter to just keep my mouth shut on the long ball and smoke her chippin and puttin. Got any XL sarongs laying around @ your place? Would be a great distraction... 😂 Think it's about time to domesticate myself shortly since I'm outta silverware and don't have any plastic spoons and forks laying around. It's day two of washing one spoon and fork at a time. Better step my game up. WAIT! Maybe not! I've got a couple pounds of sliced turkey in the fridge and a new loaf of bread! I'm golden for a day or two yet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
