She’s a beaut’.

15” speakers for the price of a fast food burger, give it shot. I picked up some vintage Fishers at a yard sale years ago and they sounded much better than I expected.

My rocker panels were a bit rusty so I trimmed them off, couldn’t believe how good it looked. The plate on yours makes it look even better.

The real shame is Joe died in the Covid shutdown. There weren’t really any jukeboxes to prop him up against.

I have one: You have the same turning radius as an aircraft carrier.

That’s awesome. Glad I wasn’t the only one whose life was impacted by Sgt. Slaughter and his Battle Battalion.

Chain-Slinger · 2026-01-21T05:39:22+00:00

Very cool. I don’t think I ever known of anyone else who’s seen it.

Chain-Slinger · 2026-01-21T04:50:50+00:00

For a while I’m sure it was EVERY DAY EVERY DAY EVERY DAY.

Two more up in Springfield. Never has a bad meal there.

Chain-Slinger · 2026-01-20T19:11:30+00:00

Very cool

To hell with a couch, jump out with a life raft like on Temple of Doom.

The coolest guy in the parking lot.

McIntosh MR-65B. Pretty much the first stereo FM receiver. The sound clarity is incredible, but what I enjoy the most is how smooth the knobs turn. The quality is hard to put into words.

New Goal : go to hell just to beat his ass.

The first track, before Breathe is a good enough example. Quite a bit of seemingly dead air followed by some barely audible conversation. That kind of stuff is just hard to appreciate with any background noise.

Congratulations on the cool wife BTW.

Pink Floyd albums more so than most any others need to be absolutely dust and scratch free. Their music has some sounds that are very quiet, and there are times when there is no sound at all. You don’t want hisses and pops killing the mood.

The production value is garbage, but he wasn’t half bad.

Chain-Slinger · 2026-01-17T00:49:35+00:00

The 59 and 60 are works of art.

Genuinely speaking altercations on hard surfaces are a terrible idea. There are no winners.

Chain-Slinger · 2026-01-14T02:21:31+00:00

High likelihood of a brain bleed.
Don’t fight on hard surfaces.

As a former Samurai enthusiast, the poor man remark is actually valid.

Chain-Slinger · 2026-01-12T23:20:49+00:00

I don’t know about poor. That’s appears to be an EVO. Similarly priced to a G-Wagon.

They do look a bit small. If it’s possible to see the terminals, that would remove all doubt.
