Asking price and getting price are two very different things. Happy Anniversary to 02.This cartridge is on sale for $20,000. Kind of makes you want to bring that old Technics out of storage.

Just checked the weather, it said rain well stay in the Berg and no rain for Smith's Grove, Bert's fault!!!!! It is pouring here!!!!! Raining cats and dogs, just stepped in a Poodle!!!!
Hours later I have received a whopping .004" of rain. I must start paying the preacher more.Wth, Bert! Cut it OUT!
No actually that's the set price from Acoustic Sounds. Not an auction. Outrageous? You bet but some people will buy one just because they can. It's the epitome of the point of diminishing return.Asking price and getting price are two very different things. Happy Anniversary to 02.
With my poor hearing the sound coming from a computer playing an MPeg3 through a solid state amp is the same as a fine quality tube amp and good vinyl.No actually that's the set price from Acoustic Sounds.

Sadly I've lost some hearing as well Bert. It's like a cruel joke because audio has been a passion of mine since I was 12 and heard my first really good stereo. I had the "golden ear" but it's faded now. Good quality headphones help. I have 6. The only stereo equipment I buy now is for replacement only. Upgrades would be pointless.With my poor hearing the sound coming from a computer playing an MPeg3 through a solid state amp is the same as a fine quality tube amp and good vinyl.
A pair of newlyweds.......Congratulations!Good morning D-League. It's currently 66°, with 92% humidity. This afternoon will bring a chance of thunderstorms and a high of 86°.
Today is my 21st wedding anniversary. Doesn't seem like it's been that long.
Everyone stay safe out there today.

I have my old passports for souvineers......reading them is the only way I can remember where I have been......I didn't renew mine this time.................I would be happy to never leave the state again......Great info about requesting old passport back. I never knew that. Thanks.
You must have wore those dancing slippers out there feller.......we got about 1/2" shortly after noon........Since my recent prayers failed to bring about the desired result, I will do the rain dance of my ancestors for Bert while praying to God.
Any of those ancestors have experience in rain production?
Looks like a hog painted to look like a watermelonOh yes, plenty of watermelon trucks around. My county and surrounding counties are agriculture based with plenty of watermelon patches. We still have the very large with seeds watermelons down here. The most common ones are the rattlesnake watermelons. I wonder if due to the reduction of the family size and cost to ship they just don't send that many out of the South. Who knows.
RATTLESNAKE WATERMELON

I remember the very first time I brought my wife down to Florida from Kentucky. I told her the minute we hit the Florida line she would see watermelons 10 for $1.00 or ten cents apiece. She told me I was crazy but guess what.....lol. There they were. They were the size of what I use to call an icebox watermelon but 10 for $1.00. nonetheless. Of course this big 250 lb boy might cost you a couple of dollars or three

Back in the day a lot of people called it the needle. The cartridge houses the stylus or needle.
Yeah, Just go on line fill out the renewal request and follow the instructions. You will need new pictures but don't need a birth certificate. The old passport will suffice. You can pay for it on line too.Good morning D League
And now for today's weather report:
Currently we have 64° with fog but the sun will take care of that soon. We have light winds of 5 mph coming from the SSE. Humidity is 74% and by midafternoon the high will reach 83°. NO RAIN and we need it
Thank you Austin for mentioning your passport. Guess what, mine has expired also. I forgot all about traveling with this COVID scare and hadn't looked at it until I read your comment. I guess it is time to get busy and renew it. And thank you Warrior-Cat for the information on mail renewal. I had no idea
Trust all have a great day. Blue and white evening on the Gulf.

Decided to go out fishing today anyway because Friday is another vet visit I forgot. So, fishing report was Warrior-Cat 1---Largemouth Bass 0. Caught only one and it was about 4lbs. Got stuck in the weeds and I thought that was all I had so, when I pulled it in with a ton of grass around it I did not know until I cleared the grass that it was hooked. No fight, just drag from all of the grass.Waiting on the rain here in the Buckeye State. Is a nice, comfortable mid-70s now with a high of 80. Rain was supposed to be here around 8 a.m. but now looks like 11...if at all. Front's moving to the North. So it's been one of those mornings debating if it's worth getting outside and starting something. Think I'll just wait it out......because......
like warrior, I'm sore this morning. Did a lot out in the yard yesterday...about all day. Mowed front yard, trimmed an area in back that had grown up some, etc. Cleaned and rearranged the garage....moved an old buck stove from one side of the garage to the other to free up some room. The Mrs. asked how in the world I moved it (she was out running with a friend having fun while I worked) and I told her I just picked it up and carried it...but had to lift it over my head to get it over my table saw... 😉
So it's one of those achy days. The old bones/joints don't get any more limber with age...why is that?
Yo momma so ugly when she was born the doctor slapped her face and said oops then, turn her upside down and slapped the other end.Yo Momma jokes...
Yo Momma is so ugly the whole world faked a virus just to have her wear a mask!
Yo momma is so ugly she walked into a haunted house and came out with a job application...
You know how you hear people saying "where are all the flying cars" because we're X "years from the Jetsons" and such?
I'm sitting here wondering how no one has figured out how to regrow hair like the ones that grow in your ears and nose as you get older. ? They grow faster and more stealthily than hair on your head, and the ear hairs are a pitch to pluck out.
we have a turntable that was supposed to be blue tooth compatible......that is the only component we have.......I don't know squat about stereo equipment......I need to get a good mid range $ equipment to hook it to.....I need everything but the turn table......Oh, and I have albums......stacks of them........Hmmm. Ours was considerably lighter and cheaper looking. Guess this one provided better sound
you mean those nose hairs that feel like you pull part of your brain out when you pluck it..........You know how you hear people saying "where are all the flying cars" because we're X "years from the Jetsons" and such?

A good badminton racket also works!!!!Absolutely beautiful out this morning...sunny, mid 50s...heading up to mid 70s. Some heavy rain woke me up last night, but you know how that goes....have no idea what time, how much, how long, just that it was raining.
So, while the grass is a little wet I think I'll put some weed & feed on it this morning.
The Mrs got a carpenter bee trap yesterday. She was so proud of herself until I told her I had seen some videos on YouTube on making them....and had planned on making a couple. But that's OK. Also told her about how Bert had posted a picture of the bag/fake wasp nest at his house....so we'll try that too. We've got a few of those rascals around.
Y'all have a good Thursday.
Pick up one of those battery operated nose hair trimmers. I keep one on my desk and use it often.you mean those nose hairs that feel like you pull part of your brain out when you pluck it..........
I have a very important doctor's visit to go over my recent scans this afternoon.
I understand some restaurants are serving them as sandwiches and with a full course meal. I am not into that.Good morning D-League. Beautiful day in the east after a wicked round of thunderstorms. If any of you Reds fans watched the game from Nats park, you saw those freaky black clouds.
Today is the day I'm officially sick of cicadas. Took a long walk today through some close set trees and the damn things were really agitated -- i guess its now or never on the mating front. They were flying into my hair and attaching to my clothes.
Bugs have always freaked me out. I can take snakes, lizards, rodents, even scorpions, which I've encountered quite a bit in my travels. But I'm most creeped out by bugs. I can't say why.
I hope you all have a great, cicada-free day.
I'd rather eat the rancid camel meat we had diced up with a little onion and tomato in a sauce spread over spaghetti like we dined on in Mogadishu during the days before the US military arrived than eat those bugs.I understand some restaurants are serving them as sandwiches and with a full course meal. I am not into that.
