DizRotus Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Good morning, The LAVAZZA Gran Selezione Dark Roast was used up this morning. It did the BUNN proud. Next we'll try Perfetto Espresso Roast. I expect it to be strong. Today's forecast is 77. That's a big improvement over the 93 of yesterday. We'll be driving ~1.5 hours to East Lansing to attend the 1st birthday of a nephew's baby daughter. Everyone stay cool and safe.

ChuckAb3 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Holy Mackerel!! Chuck's going fishing. Let us know if you have any luck. Good day yesterday ... we went to a downtown art fair where Better Half Unit's dad was exhibiting. He's a successful western artist and usually sells out at these shows, even though he's getting up in years. The only downside was the heat but glad we went. Have a good Sunday folks and cheers............... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JL Sargent Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 to attend the 1st birthday of a nephew's baby daughter. Around here 1 year olds get their own little cake and everybody just watches what they do with it. Can be real funny sometimes. You guys do that? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizRotus Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 MKP- How far are you from Alexandria, VA? My son, a DC cop, has a clunk in the front of his Passat that my long distance diagnosis pegs as a sway rod bushing failure. I assume you're too far away for him to haunt your shop. Do you know someone of your expertise and integrity near Alexandria who works on VWs? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hey Neil, I'm a good drive from Alexandria VA. Unfortunately I don't know any shops down south of me that far. I do think your on the right track.... I would say most front end "clunking" turns out to be front sway-bar end links. Even in my small shop I do a set of front end links about once a week. They start making noise in cars that have around 100K or so. MKP :-) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardsweb Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Speakers beat yard work every time. Alas, for me it was yard work. On the up side, I did find a check slid into my front door. I have told you about mowing my neighbors yard, which I have done on multiple occasions. Well, he heard from a mutual neighbor that it was me and left me a check for $200. Unexpected money is always nice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MORE KLIPSCH PLEASE Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 (edited) Morning all..... Grandkids on the bus...... 2nd cup going down Well what should have been a 5 hr round trip turned into a over 9 hr nightmare drive There was construction and accidents on the Bay Bridge both ways. We got to the house were the KP's were. The lady I spoke with was out to dinner with her family cuz we were so late getting there. They got back at 7 so we waited about an hour for them. They looked better in the pic and the description was "good condition" ahhhhh not so.... I also was unable to test them cuz they had 1/4" speaker connection on them. I figured they had reg speaker cable and "pro" connections on them like my other KP's. So all the crapp I brought to test them I could not hook up. Her husband was not there so she had no clue were she could look for his gear. We found all kinds of cables and gear but it was a mess. So after 45 minutes of looking through crapp I said look I didn't drive 4+ hours to go home empty handed..... I'll give ya $100 bucks for em..... she said her husband would not take $100..... So looked through some more crapp with no luck. I'm like OK it wasn't ment to be..... So I said I'm going to split and we shook hands and on the way out I said I would do a Buck Twenty..... she said no.... OK..... So The BOSS and I leave. About ten minutes into our drive home the lady calls the cell phone and told me her husband would take $120 for em if I still wanted them and they would bring them to us.... So I thought for a minute and said "OK"..... They met us at a gas station with my ratty old KP-320's...... well I've seen worse.... hey it's a roll of the dice... We got home around midnight..... I'll mess around with them later after we get home from the shop..... Maybe I should have stayed home and do yard work Will report later on how they sound.......
