    Big Ups to embrown057!

    A few months ago, I recovered a Denon POA 2400A power amp from an ex-wife that she had managed to render inoperable a few years ago. I brought it back to Jax, hoping it would be something simple, obvious, and inexpensive to cure. Well, that didn't happen. Fortunately, I was put in contact with...

    Sad

    What a long way, and different sense that this forum could not mention the birthday of an American Master. Keep your innumerable Pink Floyd threads and Acid Polka playlist threads. Today is Guy Clark's 70th birthday and shame the **** on nobody even mentioning it here. Go look for some no...

    A friend of AK, and of mine, is gone

I want to say thank you, sincerely, to those responsible for this unanticipated act of kindness. The...

    Rod & The Faces

    Watching some sort of random old live footage of various bands on Palladium (I think that's the name of the channel). Stewart & the Faces from probably '71 or so doing Stay With Me, I'm Losing You, and encore medley of early rock n' roll songs that basically served as a vehicle to let the band...

    My Experience With A Wireless iPod Transmitter

    One of the very few things that disappointed me with the Ford Sport Trac I bought last week was the realization that there was no aux input for hooking my iPod into the radio/cd changer. I've gotten really accustomed to the convenience of the iPod on the go, and really didn't want to give it...

    Lucas Electrical Systems

    A guy was at a classic car show when he approached an old man with an MGB, and strangely enough, a vacuum cleaner sitting next to it. The guy approached the old man and asked "What's up with that?" The old man replied "This? Not many people know this, but Lucas didn't only make electrical parts...

    For the (maybe) 1 or 2 other Tom Rapp fans here...

    Finally, Rapp's last 2 albums before his 25 year hiatus have been released on ceedee- 1972's Stardancer and 1973's Sunforest. I have both these on vinyl, but my twins like them so much, I haven't seen either in several years. Color me very, very happy.

    "The Nimitz" in its new berth (longish)

    Quick back-story here: Back in the Stone Age when I was still married, from '89- '97 or so, we had an elderly neighbor that we tried to help out as much as possible. Wilba and her husband had built their house, and after retiring from the police force in '74, her husband promptly died of a...

I've got 3 boston butt pork roasts (destined to become pulled pork) and a beef brisket on my smoker right now, and about 28 lbs of ribs prepped to cook off tomorrow at the gathering. Just the smell walking out the back door right now is enough to make you...
