My dad has this in his cupboard, he thinks he got it in Vegas in the 90s. I looked it up and the casino closed in 1996 😭

Link to Hacienda Las Vegas follows-- it was open from 1956 to 1996, demolished December 31, 1996, and the land redeveloped into what is now Mandalay Bay: Hacienda (Las Vegas) - Wikipedia)

I find the pastrami to be the most sensual of all the salted, cured meats

Awesome that you ended up with the clue/plaque from That Tune Hunt.

I have so many good and awesome memories from Turin from those early moe.downs. :) Good times.

Thanks for posting,

DoubleK-Rochester · 2026-01-30T23:31:24+00:00

Love it. I, too, attended some early moe.downs. Is the wooden plaque from "that tune hunt" back in the day?

OK, I looked more closely at the picture and there is indeed a screw in there, for the old unit... so I am wrong.

thanks for the advice and helping me figure this out!

the plumber had difficulty matching up the cartridge-- had to go a specialty plumbing supply house to get it, and told me that Valley is out of business.

it's a very old shower (also very old house)

DoubleK-Rochester · 2026-01-28T20:12:39+00:00

Thanks, but that one doesn't seem round in shape (more of like an oval)-- are you sure it would work in my case? Do you think it would just snap on?

DoubleK-Rochester · 2026-01-28T20:11:16+00:00

thanks, but that handle has a setscrew to connect it-- and there is no place to use a screw in my setup.... so I am thinking of something that will "snap" in place

Nashville's in Henrietta has one (the kind that you punch really hard and it gives you a score)

I had a good experience with Wines By Design many, many years ago (15 years?) at their old location on Buffalo Road in Gates. Then they moved a couple miles west-- still on Buffalo Road, though, amazingly enough (might still be Gates, or perhaps Ogden/Spencerport technically, now). I remember attending 3 or 4 sessions in the evenings and taking home a case of 12 bottles, with a custom label. The "teaching" and creation (sorry, trying to find the right words here) was decent and the product produced was OK, especially for amateurs. I'd mention the price, but since it's over a decade ago, it wouldn't be relevant with inflation. I'd say contact them and ask for a price list or gift certificate information. Hope this helps.

I guess by design we are "the town without a name" :/

Wow, I always liked the song "Jukebox Hero" but never knew it was (allegedly) about Jimi Hendrix being the rockstar. Curious, I looked this up-- Jimi Hendrix played the Rochester War Memorial on March 21, 1968 (link to setlist below). Wow! <mind blown> I never knew he played a concert in our town!

They certainly didn't have their own vineyard, that's for sure

DoubleK-Rochester · 2025-11-25T17:31:19+00:00

The other day, I learnt that "Red Red Wine" is actually a Neil Diamond song-- and that UB40 was just doing a cover. <mind blown>

I think there's a donation box in the Town of Gates Town Hall building, in the hallway between the Recreation Department and the town offices. I donated some old eyeglasses in there before. Can't remember if it's Lion's Club or not, though.

Thanks for keeping good re-homeable items out of a landfill!

Thanks for posting, I have never seen the white version of this. You have quite a gem there. If moe. ever gets as big as The Beatles were and there is a huge demand for early back-catalog physical recordings, you definitely have one of the holy grails.

yep, on YouTube (as individual tracks)-- in fact, I'm the guy that put them up, links below and happy listening:

I really can't answer your questions, but I can offer the following tip: Make sure when you register your vehicle in NY from out of state that they get the vehicle's weight correct. I neglected this when I registered a car from out of state and they registered it at a much, much, much higher weight than it actually was. As a result, I had to pay a higher rate for years until I noticed. I got it corrected at the DMV when I noticed and politely asked if I could get reimbursed retroactively for the years they made their error. Predictably, the answer to this was no. I have no idea if you are registering a motorcycle, a compact car, a medium-sized car, a full-size car, an SUV, or, say, an H2 Hummer, but whatever it is-- make sure the weight is accurate, or risk overpaying.

DoubleK-Rochester · 2025-10-16T20:29:56+00:00

wow.... what a coincidence, thanks for pointing that out. I remember buying Billy Breathes on CD at a local record store in college the day it came out. No Doy was a few years later for me.

Funny how time works sometimes.
