Good morning. Here's a link to a story that backs up what I've been saying all along about Miami weather.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/09/12 ... ac-lists-miami-among.html It actually looks like it could be a nice day outside today. I have lots of running around and a few stops to make this morning. Pool supply, Post Office, nursery, CVS. I wish I could take a Vette but no pool chemicals will ever sit inside one of those cars. A tree or plant maybe but no chemicals. Another job for the trusty Yukon. Have a great day everyone. " I have not failed I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. " Thomas Edison |

Good morning! Tommy, you should move to MN - we're gonna have highs in the 50's later this week. Plus you could partake of the entertainment we have to offer:

Good Morning! Long weekend started on Friday morning when my 87 year old step dad called and said that my mother had kicked him out of the house and he didn't know what to do. Here we go! So I cancelled some meetings and headed for Kansas to see what was the problem. Got there and listened to both sides and then told them to grow up for heavens sake! Honestly! My Mom who is 87 also can be a real piece of work on occasion so we had to work through things and I hope got it worked out. Way to much drama for me! No matter how old you get you still have to live with each other and be nice.
So I then rushed back to see Ultraboy start at center for our varsity football game Friday night and on his first shotgun snap he hiked it over the head of the QB. The other team recovered and drove the field for a touchdown. The other team went on to beat us like a drum. Nuts! He had a little adrenaline going on I'm thinking. He is only a sophmore and he settled down after that happend. Saturday to the Husker game and left early because we were not having any problems with Idaho U. Went to Famous Dave's then home to rest. Congrats Tommy on having the worst weather, I think you guys took that away from Huston this year. Wow Brad, that looks like fun! Nothing like a good nut feed! Weather is always perfect in Huskerland.  Word for the day is Vigilance, I don't know why, 9-11 maybe. Encourage someone today, it's tough out there! |

Art Linkletter used to say children do the darnedest things. Same applies to the oldsters. They can come up with variations of things never before concieved by man. Maybe you stepdad was chasing around a younger skirt (80 y/o). Maybe Mom won't give him any spending money. They should both just forget about it. There's a pretty good chance of that without doing anything.

I just broke out a cassette of Cat Stevens Greatest Hits. It's got to be 30 years old and it still plays well. The sound quality is really astonishing. For you youngsters, a cassette is a primitive form of tape recorded media. Who has any reel to reel music? In the late 60's and early 70's that was "The Thing".

Good Morning CGs!
Had a good time at the Christening last night. Just enough adult beverages to enjoy myself well without waking up with a hangover today  I've got some errands to do today - get to the UPS store, finish cleaning the garage, get in a run. Glad I took the day off.Brad - I love that poster. I'm glad some people still have a sense of humor. Only in MN, huh? Hope everyone has a great day! Matthew |

I remember a friend had a big reel-to-reel, and he'd play his records once, on a high-end turntable - to record them onto the reel-to-reel.

I have many albums that I put on cassette, not only to play in the car but to preserve the vinyl. I bought the best cassettes at the time TDK-SA, IIRC. The cassettes had decent quality but nothing compared tp reel to reel because of tape speed. Same thing in standard VCR compared to HiFi VCR. |

He's the only grandpa my kids have ever known. |

Yep, you wanted to record virgin vinyl before you got any scratches or pops. What I enjoy most about the old stereo stuff is the speaker seperation and instrument depth that I don't seem to hear in modern day CDs. About the only things I didn't save are my 20 albums from my mid teens and my 8 tracks. Everything else I pretty much have. Hundreds of albums, tapes, CDs, DVDs, VHS. I even have a refurbished pair of pioneer speaker cabinets I bought back in 1975. I replaced the speakers 20 years ago. I could literally sit here for a year and not see or hear the same thing twice. That's a throwback to the days when I said; When I retire I'm gonna sit back and get high and watch and listen to this stuff all over again. Not much sitting back and no getting high. Oh well ............. |

Hey gurus....it's a Monday here at school. The darn kids slept on their side over the weekend, and everything I poured into their heads last week flowed out. We are starting all over....UUUUUUUHHHHHHHHGGGGGG.
I still have most all of my albums as well, and like many of you guys, most have been played once or twice, just to record them onto cassettes. Within the last year I've been working off and on converting them to digital format. I have a long way to go, but I am gradually making some headway. Bill the BEST ones were the "MA" series. I always wanted a TEAC reel-to-reel, but could never come up with the cash. Many older people are just as bad as little kids....in nearly every respect....I feel for you, Uman. Where in Kansas did you have to go? NUTS? Oh man mountain oysters are the best. |

IIRC, the MA's were metal and the SA's were just below them in quality. By the time I had the $$$$ for a reel to reel, I didn't want one any more. I did get a deal on a high dollar Yamaha turntable and cart. |

I just got home from working on the roof of that big ass steel building.
I had forgotten what Manuel labor was like. But, I did remember that I hate it. |

Yea, they're good people. Sure isn't going fast though. The roof panels are 3ft. x 26.ft, one panel on each side of the peak. 52 panels total, I think we got 8 up today from 8:00 to 3:30. |

In 1969 I bought a Teac 3000 something reel to reel and a Gerard turntable from the Navy PX. Like Tommy said the depth of the instruments were incredable and everytime you listen to the music you heard something new. I still have the Fisher Speakers the Teac was stolen back in 73 with twenty reels of music. Bill I kept telling myself in my youthful years that if I work hard get a good education I will never have to weld or build stuff, no more manual labor and no more scuba diving. My education must have sucked!! I enjoy helping friends do things, roofs, engines,etc, and never ask for money. Usually when money gets involved the process of the project becomes tainted. The receptrical labor is always appreciated. When I did my 89 Chevy S10 4.3 V6 to a zz4 build it was gratifing to see all the good quality help I had. The job took 2 weekends instead of months. |
