winchester21 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 headed down to Lauderdale in 2 weeks for a business meeting/eating and drinking fest. Hope the weather is typical of Florida instead of whatr we have been getting. Cooked up a batch of my slow roasted oven 3 hour baby backs this afternoon waiting on HH Greg to arrive with the new freezer- old one died. Sipping on a jack and coke waiting for the black beans to finish. Wish I had a nice Zin to wash them down with but I am fresh out. Guess jack daniels will have to do. VRDs have been delayed for a couple of days due to box issues. My B&K and the VPI record cleaner should arrive within the next few days. Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still a few free drinks left in my bottle of Jack Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 i don't have anything to say tonite, so i'll just take a seat at the end of the bar and sit here quietly. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Sipping my sweetened blackened tea tonight while watching the olympics. Been home sick the last couple of days.

ace168516 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Opening the bar real early today haha. Hope thing are getting better on everyone's respective fronts. Winchester...you pretty much cleared up your wanted list, so I know you have to be happy. Just got back from an interview with Verizon...think it went well. Of course now I am probably going to get a job with the looming Cornwall delivery saga with mandatory out of state training. Probably an ETA of 2 weeks on my delivery which requires a pick up in the quad cities IA area. Cheers gents, have a cheap beer on me.

winchester21 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I am pretty excited about getting the B&K hooked up - Never been happy with the HT recv amp since the HK 870 croaked driving my side surround cornwalls. Now I will have the 250 WPC 3 ch Carver driving the 2 front K horns and the center Lascala - 1 BK 4420 driving the cornwall side surround Cornwalls and a second BK 4420 driving the rear industrial Lascalas- 200 WPC to the sides and rears. In spite of the fact that most of the program material goes to the fronts and center on most tracks- I can still hear the weakness of the receiver amp with the sides as it is now. I have high hopes for this setup.These amps should match very well. I love these older SS amps for HT. The only downside is they die ever so ofter like the HK. Good luck on the job- Ace- crossing my fingers Get better Ben-I never catch colds or thre flu in the past. Been sick twice this winter- Bad stuff going around. Steve- get youself out in the socal sun so you can harass the rest of us who are freezing our @sses off- I AM READY FOR SPRING- ENOUGH!!!!!!!!! Headed out to the Mex joint for some cold Dox Equis draft with a longtime customer/friend. Cheers to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BLSamuel Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Feelin' a bit better tonight. Drug my sorry behind into work and made it through today. I can't complain as my wife feels worse as do a couple of co-workers who've been out the last couple of days. Tomorrow's Friday. Always my favorite work day of the week.

dgoreck Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I could use a drink already. One heck of a morning here at work. The control panel that monitors the AC units failed. So it shut off the main unit, and didn't turn on the redundant.....best part is, the manufacture doesn't have any more of those panels....joy.

fini Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Having a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I made an appointment with a different ortho surgeon regarding my back. 3 discs degenerated pretty much completely. No strength (to speak of) in my left leg, can't walk on heels or tip-toes (there goes my ballet career). Feels like a hot knife being twisted in my back. Hoo-boy. On another medical note (man, I'm falling apart!), I got a cortisone shot in my wrist this morning. I was a little worried it might hurt (the wrist is a sensitive place), but it really was fine! Note to everyone: Get help lifting things. If you are tired, rest. Don't "power on through." Long after you and the crew celebrate "gittin' 'er done," you'll be left with pain that will wake you at night...and there's no one there who understands. Good to have a wife and family who mostly get it, I must say. Hey, how 'bout them Giants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Darn fini....hang in there bud. You're in the construction business aren't you. My bud bluesboy also in construction has problems with carpel tunnel syndrone. Gotta love the cortisone shots. Good to see you at the bar. This is the place to talk it all through....kindred spirits here. Having a Stoli martini....heavy on the olives. Cheers gentlemen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fini Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah, I'm a carpenter. About '86 I fell ~ 16 feet onto my back. It was on a slope (river bank), and I was REAL lucky. My head landed about a foot from a big ol' 8 cu ft chunk of concrete! Hmm...maybe it bounced off it...[][:S] I've done stupid things over the years, like (with one other dude) lifting a refrigerator over a fence, etc. Man, I'd better have another beer...

USNRET Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Just a little Bacardi and OJ tonight, got off early. Warming up the valves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigStewMan Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Evening folks. Fini--sorry to hear about the back flare-up. Do you endorse cortisone shots? Doc has suggested one for my shoulder. He backed off rushing into surgery since the MRI showed the tendon/muscles/cartlidge still intact. A lot of inflammation and some fluid build-up. So he wants me to go to a month of PT and if no improvement, then cortisone shot, then if needed, surgery to shave off some of the bone and make more room. Problem is that I just had an endoscopy and I have erosive gastritis with some bleeding in my stomach. the stomach doc says lay off the motrin. I hope all you guys are enjoying your Friday evening. Kinda cold here at the beach in SoCal--cold by local standards, i'm sure many of you would think it was comfortable. Talked to my brother--he is loving his new cornwalls--he's totally blown away at how great they sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winchester21 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 The bk 4420 appears to be DOA. I can hear a click where the unit is getting power but no red light and no sound. I plan to pullo the unit out and hook it up to the 2 ch stuff just to make sure. Looks like I got screwed in a bad e- bay deal. I bought thru pay pal- We will see what happens had a great sushi outing tonite. Great to say the least. Sipping on a Jack daniels nite cap. Looking foward to the VRDs Monday or Tues. Cheers to everybody- have a great weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
