D-League

I have a turn table.......in the box.......the Director picked it as a gift for her 20 yrs of service......it is the only pc of stereo equipment I have.......she has instructed to put together a stereo.......I have an ear for music but zero knowledge of the equipment side even with prompts from folks on here I am still lost......i found an old Marantz thingy but I wouldn't know if it was worth a crap or not.......I need a stereo rep.......or assistant or something!
Is the Marantz a receiver? Do you have a model #?
 
She accidentally bit me . . . as I lifted her
This a cause and effect. Animals do not bite by accident. If your dog bit you it was enforcing wolf rules with its teeth. Period. It can and will. Now you know. It's a sign of contentious behavior. It can be tested and addressed.
I hope you are okay, that was a rough accidental bite. Please update.
Soak wound (clean flesh wound with H₂O₂) to open so it can drain.

You're in the right place here. Speaking for myself I have multiple opinions based on fuzzy pleasure. I still remember peeping in the vent holes and seeing the glowing tubes looking for the little people inside the box.

I gargle at times with H202 and H20 at times just to clean the bad words out of my mouth. It mostly works! Sometimes I ought to go straight H202....(Too much fizz and bite that way though...)

Here is the BB and Little B at the height of our engagements yesterday. I was about pooped from running them around the upstairs... Man that felt good though. They love each other so much. (First cousins but they lived with us for about a year as Little B was born.) She just turned two and BB will be three in about six days.

We were playing Papa hide, ober dare (Look over there) and start running, and hide and seek...

That is a 40"x80" piece of 44 ILD upholstery foam with a two inch memory foam pad I have down for them to launch themselves on when they hit my office running. It works out well for them to play and jump.

Also used for when we have visitors...when we don't have enough regular beds.

A little trick for helping reinforce who is the leader of the pack in the dog world. In the dog/wolf world, the leader of the pack eats first. Maddie was a 75 pound boxer and all muscle, stronger than 100 pound German Shepard sentry dogs I was around. When she was a pup, we did not leave food out for her to eat at times of her choosing. When we did feed her, we'd put a few chocolate chip cookies on top of her food and make a big commotion about how good it was as we ate first. Then we'd put it on the floor and let her have her turn last, letting her know where she was in the pecking order. We could reach in her mouth and literally take food out of her mouth with no objection from her. As she got older, we stopped the routine, but the lesson stuck.

I'd be real careful about giving your dog chocolate. It's poisonous to dogs.

Reaching into a canines mouth and grabbing it's tongue is a superb way of advanced temperament testing whether or not the K-9 is suitable for all environments. This can be important with toddlers. They donot deserve life long physical or psychological scars because of anthropomorphic ignorance.​
 
Maybe you guys recall I posted a couple of months ago about a friend and employee who had a zipper accident that required surgery. He has diabetes and also had gall bladder surgery. He called a few minutes ago. He has some kind of disease that's causing his problems. He couldn't pronounce the name. The doctors are giving him 5 or 6 months to live. Maybe you guys can keep Dennis and his wife in your prayers?
 
Oh, I thought your dog was actually eating chocolate. No problem then. There's a lot of food that dogs should never eat, grapes, garlic and onions are a few.
My dogs mind real good until there are two, no one's looking, then they are SNIOP. The only difference between them and my children was that my dogs always knew they were guilty whether they participated or not and accepted collective scolding. As much a I tried sometime nothing seemed to work better than a good ole bellyache. I try to protect them and may not even know until I see the sparkling poop's. They eat wrapper and all. I had a 9" puddin' with an 18" vertical that figured out how to steal Andies off a table. Unlike the kids she left zero evidence and we blamed her bigger brother because he knew when she was guilty and hung his head when she misbehaved.

I found it the last time you folks was discussing stereos.....it was old I don't even remember what he wanted for it........yes it was a receiver.......the deal is if I find one I don't know if it is a piece of junk of a solid pc of equipment.....I don't mind buying but not junk.........
Grandpa had a TV like that only I remember the screen being smaller......Saturday night wrestling......the horizontal hold didn't work properly......when the train passed Goss Avenue the picture got all screwy.......the tracks were only two houses away.......whole damn place would shake......and since the mill was right across the street......the noise from the looms made it almost impossible to hear the TV very good.......

Marantz is long recognized for quality electronics so seems like you need a pair good speakers to match. I see steals at thrift stores cause old folks like us die every day. Maybe they'll allow you to listen and you can trust your ears.

Marantz makes some excellent receivers. I really miss my vintage Marantz but it's in a good home. Hopefully your Marantz has a phono input. Check the back to make sure. It may just say "phono". Also, some turntables have their own preamps built in. If you have the model #s of both your turntable and the Marantz receiver then I could look it up and let you know. If neither have a preamp then you can buy an external phono preamp. These can be cheap or really expensive (overkill).

Disney will no longer use the phrase "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls". It'll be replaced by "Dreamers of all ages". My God. If we didn't know it already then this solidifies it. Disney caving to the "woke" crowd. I've stricken the word "woke" from my vocabulary BTW. Boycott! All because of a Florida law that was passed banning teachers from teaching sex to K-3rd grade. Sick world my friends, sick world. Kids that young need to be kids, period.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 48°F and clear. High expected around 77°F.

Visited emergency room yesterday. Received two shots, including one in the hip. Two firemen, who were taking training at hospital, cut off my wedding ring because my hand swelled so much. Talk about a 45-minute adventure. Everybody worked hard. Quite an experience.

Pup threw up again last night. Thinking it's just leftovers from her treatment. Wife wrote a big sign stating "DO NOT FEED". Pup acts like she's starving.

Over 1,200 structures in county north of us damaged by tornadoes. Some buildings totally destroyed. We were lucky.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I wish Disney had never moved to this state. It is run by a bunch of freaks who are pushing their LBQTGFU agenda.

How anyone can be against this is beyond my comprehension. Florida had a problem with transgender being taught to youngsters and the recruitment of innocent students by teachers in some schools. A mother in Leon County has a daughter whose teacher told her she would be a boy at school, gave her a boys name and pronouns she would be called. She was also told not to tell her parents. Her mother, January Littlejohn, found out and went ballistic. She had no idea her daughter was being recruited to transgender and certainly did not approve. There are cases all over the state where incidents like this happened and many parents pulled their kids out of public schools and home schooled them.

Thank God our Governor stood up for kids and parents and signed the bill presented to him by the legislature. 55% of Democrats in Florida support this bill by the way. Of course their political leaders don't

I didn't buy the reciever......I didn't know...
 
Good luck.
I was walking a 40 ft ladder in a atrium we was working on downtown.....it felt like I had lost my balance and I threw my weight back at the ladder....when it smacked back into the wall it hit my wedding band and smashed it on my finger............ by the time I got the the bottom of the ladder it was swollen and blue........it had to be cut off....I lost my first wedding band a week or so after I was married......I have never wore another since.....
 
Good morning! Had a heck of a time on the golf course yesterday. Wind got up early and was relentless by the time we were done. Must have been a few 50mph gusts. most of the big ones were in the 40mph range though. Managed to shoot an 83. On my way up there soon to figure out the scores. Doubt I won anything this week.

@awf I've got a couple of old school Polk bookshelf speakers you can have if you'd like them. I'll bring them when we get together for lunch with 82.

@UK82 I just looked at the weather for the 9th and the high is supposed to be 58°. It will be more like a Fall game than a Spring game.
 
That's interesting. Is that cloud cover over KY? Not sure what I'm looking at.
That link was to the most recent 6 hour GOES loop of the United States cloud cover. Below is an upgraded link of the past 20 hrs & yes it shows the storm progression across the southeast. The maximum loop on this publicly available. I used their data for years. A valuable tool if you figure how to use it. 20 hour GOES CONUS LOOP

I hope DeSantis doesn't let up on Disney & I hope other FL state officials speak up too.

What has Trump had to say? Thanks.

Some billboards near the Disney entrance ripping them would be nice.
