Don, I lived in Forsyth County for 21 years and saw it develop from a rural lake county (Lanier) into a bedroom community for Atlanta. My user name Sawnee comes from my time in Georgia and a book I read about Chief Sawnee. I could see Sawnee Mountain from my back deck. It is a great place to live but you know in all of us there is a Sense of Place and my sense of place was down here so I headed back. But I still have many friends in Georgia and miss those "basketball pre-season talks by Larry Conley"

Do you remember The Dinner Deck, an all-you-can-eat restaurant (Fried Catfish and Fried Chicken) on top of exit 13? We used to eat there a lot with our best friend next door neighbors. Leukemia killed him about 30 years ago. I took him of his last golf outing. Sad. His widow lives in Forsyth County. Fine folks. She used to make Caramel Corn for me every Christmas.
Ceiling fan replacement complete...aw the nice quiet sound of a whispering ceiling fan
Cattleman's in Shepherdsville was dinner last night...left full as a tick on a beagles back

Good morning! My sense of place is right here.
I've had my coffee already and have been doing research for the last 3 hours.
@UK82 I've got a bid in on an old Technics SL-BD10 for $14.99. Auction doesn't end until Aug 3rd and I've got my max bid set at $20. I know it's a bottom of the line piece but it's basically free so i thought I would give it a shot. It's got a Shure Pro4 stylus on the original T4P cartridge.
Taking it easy today.

I do recall that area. Of course it is all changed now. I lived off of Bald Ridge Marina Road (exit 15). When I moved there we had the only house down our road. Now Costco is next door and they are building 250 housing units. Soon it will be like Roswell.
Had we stayed in Georgia we were moving to Hiawassee
If it's working properly then you can't go wrong at that price point. That model looks like it's a belt drive which I prefer. Direct drives can be a little noisy especially at the lower end. You can easily upgrade the cartridge for better sound but it probably will sound fine as is.
Good luck with the bid!
You guys need to stop with the food pictures, I am supposed to go to a birthday party at 1 pm and there will be lots of food. I am trying to save my appetite until I get there. I need a snack!
Afternoon everyboDy
My brother & I visited our Mom & Dad yesterday...we were gonna do some work for them. Didn't do one thing. Talked the whole time, ate lunch, and watched some baseball. Dads mobility gets less & less every day...I guess, for that matter, doesn't everybodys? I think they enjoyed it.
Went over to daughter #2's last night...hung some pictures, put together a changing table for her. Baby shower is today.
Went to church this morning, got home & #3 was leaving for work and wife was leaving for baby shower....home alone for most of the day. Peace & Quiet. Might have to go get some ice cream........
Enjoy the weather...or the A/C.
OEC is O U T

Looks awesome. I have a great recipe for stuffed bell peppers. I've made it several times and like most things, it's even better warmed up the next day after all the flavors blend. I'll definitely give those pepper subs a shot. Thanks.
Yeah, I wanted a belt drive system and I've already been researching styli upgrades. May not need one but i would think after 30 years the one that's on there had been down many miles of grooves.
Q: Does anyone know how many grooves are on the A side of the average 331/3 LP?
I love rattlesnake. Each august I would go to Austin and play golf with the Koch guys. We always celebrated with a rattlesnake appetizer.
Great place. My daughter and sil eat there often.
Me at my sons house yesterday.
Had a party. His pool and the view are great:
Life is good

I've had both, I liked DD too. I'm happy with my belt.
One continuous groove.
That's one happy looking gentleman!

My vintage Dual from 1973 has an idler wheel just like the Thorens. I really like it.
I enjoy taking a least one and sometimes two "day trips" a week and this coming week I am considering going over to the east coast and St. Augustine. It is a great walking town and has as much history as any city in America. If you haven't been, check it out.

My parents honeymooned there in April 1956. Still married too.
It really is a neat place to spend a few hours. Beautiful and interesting. They say some of the live oak trees are still alive that were there when Ponce de Leon discovered it in 1593.
Ha! Congrats! You're the first person I've ever asked who knew the answer to that question.
I would say it has MORE history than any other city. Isn't it still the oldest?
Yes it is, April 2, 1513. Over 100 years before the Pilgrims
Here is another fact people often over look about Florida. Ponce de Leon brought the first horses, cattle and hogs to America. So Florida had the very first cowboys. When the Indians attacked him and he was wounded and fled to Cuba where he died, the Spanish left the horses, cattle and hogs and they went into the swamps and bred for 100's years. There are still a few of them left in the wild,, especially hogs and they are out of control.
Hey Sawnee, welcome to the bunch here. Hadn't said it so I thought I would. Glad you're here. FCC.
Thank you I, I appreciate your thoughts and really enjoy the posts. This is becoming my favorite of all of Cats Illustrated. Here you find intelligent and thoughtful posters who enjoy life. Hard to find in other spots.
Who could argue?
Hey, y'all. My bunch has been celebrating my 75th Birthday. Everybody was here. It was fun, indeed.
Trash pick-up here tomorrow and the junk hunters are out in force. We set out a bunch of clutter and it only took an hour. Gone! The turntables were the first to go.
Just kidding ymmot!

I know you were enjoying that Don. Did you cook em up something on the egg?
All you have to do is put stuff out on the curb with a price tag on it. Then people will steal your trash for you.
Nossir. My daughter brought the spaghetti entree (just delicious by the way) #4 made a perfect salad, QB furnished the garlic bread. White birthday cake with Neapolitan ice cream. Everything was just perfect. Next event will be at #2's condo on his newly acquired medium BGE.
#1's GF, the 5th grade schoolteacher was in attendance also. I would approve her as the newest addition to our family.
These crows that are eating our figs are about the size of a Pullet.
Day 7 of Operation Anna. She loved Savannah. House will be as quiet as an empty church when she leaves tomorrow. Tears will be shed. When that day comes when she won’t cry when she leaves us, Nana and I will cry for her!
I cut the cord today...finally, from Dish TV. Nothing but streaming from here on out. Already had a Firestick, ordered DirectTV Now and getting a Roku stick for "free". Had to get it all set up for the bahamasketball games.
