Look up "Big Bertha" sometime. Discussed it some with "other brother" just last night. Ever heard of Don Garlits? Below is a pic of my step-brother, Buddy (R) and the bike Don Garlits could not beat back in the day.

hey, wasn't he the one they called Big Daddy?
he IIRC was also the first guy to back Shirley Muldowney -

WQMF...how long after LRS did this come?

I think I was in 6th grade the year it debuted? That would've been around 1981-82

I had something similar to this growing up and was damn proud of it. An all in one unit. Now it's just plain awful.

This is about what I grew up on.

Still have the speakers in the closet. Awful sound quality and thought they were it.

WTH?

I took Austin to a biker bar when he visited me the last time. He had a couple of beers and behaved.

Did he find any money in the parking lot?

Collectors are paying good money for antique audio these days.

Where the heck is Fred? Fred, if you are reading, you need to check in.

Man this looks so familiar. What's the brand name?

 

[AustinTXCat]

Did he find any money in the parking lot?

No good finds since day before yesterday. Cold streak. Usually works out better first of the month. Found just one damn penny today.

 

[wildcatdonf]

Did he find any money in the parking lot?

No, but I'll bet he was looking. There was a guy there bumming, so he probably took care of the spare change.

Beverly is pg?

Rats. We guys in the D are not gonna have a clue what to bring to the D-League baby shower. Tools?

Zenith Circle of Sound. Late 60s.

QB must have donated mine to some garage sale or charity, or I just don't remember.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Hey! Mark my words. I'm gonna hit a nice find in the months to come. The way this place operates, it's a given. Mark it down. No golf balls.

[wildcatdonf]

I think that I bought my stuff in pawnshops. I love pawnshops. I bought some of my first tools from there. I still have a set of Fleet sockets that I bought at K-Mart.

I remember that rig.

This is a good time to turn the page and go to bed. Good night, everybody.

Mornin D
getting ready to head out for the day
y'all behave as much as you can
See ya tonight

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

I remember fright night. I remember Presto the Clown and J. Fred Frog. Coyote Calhoun and Van Vance.

Van Vance was a starting guard with my cousin Leon Higginbotham at Park City High School back in the mid fifties. Van's father taught me how to trap animals for skins.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Would you be so kind as to start a private conversation with me please.

What a weird way to start your career at Cats Illustrated.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Can't believe they've been gone as long as they have.

They are still CSX. That merger moved my ass to Houston, TX.

We still had the "Chessie" kitten calendars when I retired in 2000.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Boston was another good group from back in the day. My favorite Steve Miller Band song was "The Joker".

Mine was "Jet Airliner".

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

Who has been "snipe" hunting?

I am expert at it.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

This is about what I grew up on.

I have a friend who collects old radio's and phonographs and restores them.

Hell they bring top dollar.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 79° and humid. Looking at 94°F later.

Y'all be good and have a great day.

Sorry to hear that Bert. They have a car shop here in the Russell/Raceland area.

 

[UK_fan_41102]

Good morning all. 71° here with a high of 77° and scattered rain throughout the day.

Morning D. Salutations from the shanty.

More coffee.......................................

 

[wildcatdonf]

• Good Morning, D-Leagueans & Oasiseanites.
• 73º and beautiful in Johns Creek. Very VFR. Calm.
• 1st mug of Dark Magic down.
• Slept well, but I'm awful tired for someone who just got up after a good night of rest.
• Lola says hello. Laying at my feet.
  
• The tame wild ducks were by the pond when I came out. They are beautiful creatures. She flew to the rear of our property. I wonder what she is doing back there.
• Four water lillies blooming. Real pretty.
• Enjoyed last night on here.
• Still wondering why Fred isn't posting. Maybe he's busy chasing women.
• That is all.
• Have a safe one. Have a good one.

Nice looking backyard pool. Good job on the landscaping also.

I've got a decent collection of old audio gear and it's not cheap if it's in good working condition. Tube amps, monster receivers and gramophones can be really expensive. Certain speakers too.

Nothing to be sorry for: CSX was the best thing going employment wise for me. I had a great career and they still send me three checks a month. Mergers happen and we ended up getting more efficient and could make a lot more money as a corporation, so my moves were going to happen anyway. When you get into Sales & Marketing you expect that. I am living in my 10th house. The railroad moved me. You get a promotion and it often required moving.
