JBCODD Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Not Affiliated Got home from a brutal 12 hr shift at the factory. Running on about 22 hrs awake (fairly normal for a Wed/Thurs).See my wife off to work, decide to check Craigslist for some Forte's (cheap ones fit my budget). Find the following post: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ele/6045363894.html WHOA!!! Looks like Cornwall I for $450!!!! Slightly distressed, but right in my wheelhouse! Send an e- mail and get ready for bed. I pad dings, look at e- mail, and seller says may be seen before 1300 today, and there has been lots of interest. (Sorry, retired military) Call Muldoon and say I'm of my way. (Hope they fit in the Pimpmobile ((2000 Volvo S-700))) Hit the ATM. BOOGIE. Hit traffic onna 101. Schvitzin'. Get to Indian School Rd and 82nd street. Realize I don't have the address. Call Muldoon and ask for address. No answer. Turn on street on Google maps and park. Wait. Wait. Call again. No answer. Grind teeth. Wait. Guy walks up to car and sez "Are you the guy from Chandler? I just sold them. So many people called I didn't know who was who." Le Wah!!!! Oh, well I still have a lovely wife of > 30 yrs, who puts up with my varied manias and five children who are good citizens and six grandchildren who think that I'm OK. And a line on some Forte's I can afford. Le Wah. Any how there are still many components for any in the Phoenix metro area who may be interested, and if the price on the Cornwall speakers is an indication, there are bargains to be had. Happy Hunting JBCODD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was stationed at Walter Reed back in the day (86-91) and loved to take the kids to Solomons Island to fish and catch Maryland blues from the dock. But the last time I was there (2015) the pickings were pretty slim. JBCODD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Lived in Annapolis on Duke of Gloucester St., just off Church Circle in '75. Did all my crabbin' with a wooden mallet and a pitcher of beer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
