Marvel Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 I think I was 120-125 when I was in the Navy... so being 135 fifty years on is OK with me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Had a relative tell us we absolutely needed to get a juicer. It sits on the counter unused. It works great, but takes forever to clean. Such a pain, as are many little kitchen gadgets. I would rather cut, slice, dice,juice, froth, mix... whatever by hand than have all the clutter. Is it just me who feels that way? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it all werkin down there. At times I think I'm stayin alive just to spite the ex. Heck of a reason actually cause the Bee Gees song by that name really does suck imo. Make sure you've got the platform shoes on and know every one of those lil hand gestures and moves before you even attempt to go with the flow. 😂 💪 Interesting day yesterday. A good friend/s son and grandson started a car audio store years ago. I never thought I'd actually upgrade anything in what I drove but the bug hit. Knew the old speakers were trash but one day I caught static from the kid about how could I drive a car w/a system that totally sucked? Never listen to it anyway it's just noise but I do have my moments. Yesterday I caved. Grandpa always told me to tell his kid to give me the "DEAL!" You ALL know how that rolls. Either a deal or a wallet rape so I didn't say squat just bought 2 spkrs for the rear and was gonna blow off the doors. 26 year old immaculate Nissan Maxima my momma never drove. 130k on it but it's minty and a head turner. Old guy in old car. I laff and they make payments every month. So I go in yesterday to have 'em throw 'em in. Took dad & the kid 18 minutes to swap 'em and they had everything outta the rear end while jokin around w/me tellin stories on grandpa. So I upped my game. Wanna throw a pair in the doors since it's a cool day today? So they threw two in the doors. 25 minutes later done BUT I'd hit 'em with "the DEAL" story for another hoot. His kid remembered me and knew me but then... The right channel on the 26 year old never used radio went intermittant. WTF some DEAL right? Wrong. They had an Alpine they'd been hoarding. Some high roller dropped big bucks and his wife diddn't like it so he told 'em to pull it and put what SHE wanted in it. Told them to keep it cause he didn't want to see it again and wasn't gonna mess w/selling it so they did. Threw that in the car for FREE and laffed the entire time. Guy had it in his car for 2 weeks they said. The kid wanted to make money but dad said why. Just give it to him cause he's a good friend of dads. 😂 There is a God in heaven afterall. Poor grandpa got thrown under the bus but he'll take it well. Can't wait to hear HIS side of it all when we bump again. They were grinnin big time when I left but I was totally lost. I just turned it up. Haven't tinkered with it much but plan to. It flat cooks in that lil thing. lol Great 30 minute drive home. The down side? Daughter called last nite and wants to borrow the car for a couple hours today cause her brakes are shot but they couldn't do it til Monday. My poor new system, fresh outta the box is gonna have 2-Pac at max volume the entire time. Sucks to be me! Got her back though since she planted the seed. Put the OLD speakers in the new speaker boxes and gonna wrap them up and give 'em to her for Xmas. Gonna share the love! 😂 Gonna make a run to McD's for a snausage mc muffin w/egg now and show dem kids a thing or three. Takin my mugga with me cause their coffee sucks. Ha! Might take a lil drive out in the country too and eyeball the corn fields. High of 80 today, bit of rain last nite here in Duckburg but I think Imma gonna make it. At least until this eveniong when she drops the car off. Grrrrrrrr! lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 30, 2023 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2023 That's funny, bet it sounds much better, but will be broken in roughly with bad music, sound like my dad now. It's strange we never listen to music when we drive, an occasional football game when driving back from Hope on a Sunday. I don't know why as much as we both listen at home, might have to start listening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, it'll happen now that I've planted the seed. hahaha Have a pair of Klipsch "something" sittin in the garage taking up space. 15$ @ an auction? Someone had taken the horns out prior to the sale so no one wanted them but me. I was thunkin but it'd never fit in my rear deck and Roy would prolly have my story on the install hanging on the toilet stall door for everyone to read in Hope. He's sneaky like that me thinks! lolol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted July 30, 2023 Moderators Share Posted July 30, 2023 I remember hearing a story a long time ago that PWK put some speakers in a friends car, Not sure if that was true or not. Around 2005 we had a Jeep SUV and had a pair of Heresy's in the back, sounded really good. After a couple of years I took them out, it took up alot of space and probably not the safest thing if we crashed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
