I have very little respect for most performers. They make their living "pretending". Many of them think because they "feel" deeper than the rest of us that they are better than we are.
A classic. Going for 3-4K on Ebay these days.
Back when I was in my mid 20s an Australian Shepherd harassed me everyday as I walked to or from Fork U. I informed the owner if she would not discipline her dog I could. This dog was smart and would bite whenever I faced it off then turned to walk away. A hatchet handle and perfectly timed swing upside it's head as it circled and moved in to bite did the trick. That dog never left the yard when ever I walked by after that. Today I feel bad about striking the dog. I should have clobbered the little old witch it belonged to.

I still have my DAD'S old detector!!!! He would be amazed at what they are making now!!!!I was looking at some a few days ago. I think the one my Dad had was 30 or so dollars and I think my Dad did some work in trade for that.
I remember reading a long long time ago that Virginia Beach was THE best place to detect.
I read somewhere that cassettes are making a comeback. WHY? I can see reel to reel, the pinnacle of audiophile mania in the 60's and 70's, but cassettes? I just don't get it.
He'll definitely have my vote when he runs for President.
Evidently the dumbass doesn't think gas is high enough.
President Joe Biden is proposing to eliminate tax breaks for oil and gas production, again.

It is not Biden, it is everyone that is "working" for him. Biden is in another dimension....
I listen to albums to hear music sometimes when I could just say "Alexa, play..." That's where I draw the line though. I don't play CD's any longer either. I don't really believe I could tolerate cassette music now that I've heard much better.
I've a Dual CS 5000 that's pristine with a V15 iii I don't use. I've replaced my vinyl with digital CD's, now other digital formats on USBs.A classic. Going for 3-4K on Ebay these days.
Lots of people seem unaware that when voting, not to over concern themselves with a particular candidate, but worry about who their 10,000 friends are.
Bingo! I use USB playlists for travel. I do enjoy making music DVDs for the Oppo.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 71°F.
We're back from hospital.
Much better. Must take her to our regular vet today.
She accidentally bit me last Friday as I lifted her in and out of SUV. Now my left hand swelled really bad as of Monday evening. I'm heading to emergency room sometime today after we drop her off.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

I hope you are okay, that was a rough accidental bite. Please update.
Good Morning all,
Been keeping on, keeping on.. the BB keeps me straight though. Had the BB and Little B over yesterday and they laughed a bunch while wearing me out. Never did I know so little could do so much.

I still listen to vinyl from time to time. I have 2 turntables. I only buy higher quality albums now, 180 gram or higher. Expensive but much better than the crap we bought back in the 70s. I've converted my entire CD collection (700) to FLAC and rarely use them anymore. I've also downloaded a ton of hi-res music (pcm and dsd). Expensive but the sound is phenomenal even with my poor ears. Headphones listening especially.
Morning. It is a cloudy 65.3°F on our way to a predicted wind stormy 79°, only 10% chance of rain.
I need to mow, but I doubt that I will. Lazy scumbag.

Good morning,
Breakfast was delicious and confirmed it is my favorite meal of the day. The Weather Report. We have 62° and sunny skies as we head up to 85°. We do have a strong breeze off of the Gulf with a small craft advisory for those on the water.
Listening to the radio it appears our State Senate is going to push Nuclear Power and make it an issue. The opposition will be the same suspects, those opposed to energy by any source except solar and wind. They have the support to do it on the state level but with a Democrat president, house and senate it will be a challenge.
I trust all are well and have a nice day.

You guys are way ahead of me. Until I just googled it, I did not know what FLAC was!
Five years ago I bought a turntable to convert my vinyl to digital. I have never taken it out of the box. Terrible, but some cold winter day I may actually start.
I learned something new too Bert. Reading this forum was the first time I have heard of FLAC in my life. I goggled it and it is all Greek to me.
Boy I sure live a sheltered life.
The part I like about retirement is, "I can always put it off till tomorrow".....
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 #?
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.
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...)

Well, get the FLAC out of here............Sir... (jk jk Really jk jk)
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.This a cause and effect.

I'd be real careful about giving your dog chocolate. It's poisonous to dogs.
No, we'd put cookies on top of her food. She got regular dog food.
I just about tried feeding chocolate to my youngest daughters dog while it was here. The hair balled dasturb. I am still nursing a bad rib that dog caused me to break from over two years ago carrying his carcass up two flights of stairs to bath him.
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.
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.
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?
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.........
