Coytee Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Please add One 10 pound bowl of M&M's with all the brown ones removed [] Ya know Colter... you just brought back a nice memory of an old neighbor of mine. I use to live in a duplex in a college town (Maryville). The lady next to me was a retired teacher and was the first resident of this building that was built something like 1945. She married and a year later, her husband died. She lived here her entire life after that. Knowing how transient college neighborhoods might be, I told my wife that we weren't moving until Lois passed away as I didn't want her to have some yahoo punks living next to her when I was more than willing to stay there and in a sense... look out for her. OK... brings me to the memory... She was in her 80's and just sweet as the dickens. She knew just about everyone in town as she was a teacher and lived there her whole life. Seems... her minister (amongs others at times) would come by her place on a regular basis. IN the last couple years of her life, she didn't get out anymore so they came to her. None the less... her minsiter was yacking with her, saw a bowl of peanuts and had a couple. He had another handful. By the time he finished visiting her, seems he'd eaten the entire bowl of peanuts. He realized what he had done and was embarrased that he'd eaten all of her peanuts. "Oh... Lois, look what I've done...I've eaten your entire bowl of peanuts.... I feel bad, but don't worry... I'll buy you some more" To which she responded... "(laughing) Oh, Pastor, don't worry about that... I've already sucked all the chocolate off them.."

Travis LOL! Yup, going to Woodstock with two buddies and maybe a half a case of beer and nothing else was not the smartest idea. Got pretty hungry towards the end. My suggestions are ordered pretty much on what a friend of mine does every two years when he throws a big pig roast. He also throws in hayrides and pony rides for the kids.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted November 13, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 13, 2007 With all that food on Thebes list more paper towels and toilet paper may be needed, as well as a Pot of Gold or two, better known as Porta-John! Oh, that's what "Johnny on the Spot" is!!!!! Thebes, we may need to add some plates, cups, forks, knives, spoons, etc, unless we do it "cave man style". In that case..... "cave man style" would save on the "Porta-Johns", paper towels and toilet paper....we could just use leaves![:S] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest " " Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 your not going to be able to do much with a 600 watt dc to ac inverter. You need three times the VA rating of the devices. So if your amp draws 1100 watts max, you will need a 3000 watt DC to AC inverter. There are two types, appliance grade and computer grade. Difference is the quality of the sine wave. don't forget to run some copper ground rods 6+ feet deep, depending on your local code. I have a 8000 watt generator you can borrow.....but it's here in NYC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositivAttitude Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Well, Ribfest is over and I have more info for ya'll. Though my info may be overkill I'm sure you guys can gleen what ya need from it... Check out this website : http://goldcoasthilift.com/equipment_pdf_library/MQ_Power_Brochure_for_UltraSilent_Generators.pdfThe Production company had 2 of the model DCA 15055VU models on site in case of lost power. I was also told to tell you that the Stage Operations manager, Rick Baynard, would be happy to talk to you about what would be needed. He has property/acreage for sale in Tennessee and is up there regularly. Contact him 800-660-8770 or cell# 813-363-6311. He may even be able to attend and was interested. Thats all I can get for you, I hope that when the mtg. biz. turns around I can sell my boat and get a set of K-Horns and be a "real member" ...

DrWho Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Hey Paul...your link was broke, but here it is fixed: http://goldcoasthilift.com/equipment_pdf_library/MQ_Power_Brochure_for_UltraSilent_Generators.pdf So how loud are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PositivAttitude Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks for the fix. How do ya work a computer??? The diesel generator was very quiet. About as loud as a Honda Gold wing motorcycle (not a Harley!) Very quiet for something that big. I do not believe, if it was placed 200' away, you would hear it. Now that was the big unit too. Smaller is probably quieter. Remember these were running alot of amplifier power and would be mega overkill for Klipschtock !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMays Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Ricjard, are you on a power generating TVA lake, We could run a few hundred extension cords and redirect the power flow at the dam head....just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
