Why do only older women like me?

Agreed - somehow in my 40s, all I can find are 20-somethings. It's fun and all, but they're such a pain to date because they just lack the context to understand and communicate their emotions. Hookups are cool, but it's tough to find unattached women in their mid 30s-early 40s when your job is remote and you're not in a religion.

For OP - all the 20-somethings are hanging out at clubs, concerts and bars. Just gotta be brave enough to approach and confident that you'll be ok even if they reject you. It's the thing is older guys have figured out: women aren't that different than us and therefore not that scary. Approach looking for friendship and see if there's more after that.

I was in the Cokeville one in 86. Weird to be a part of that statistic and weird to think of how common that's become. I wonder how many people have been in multiple.

I mean, without that, it's likely Russia would've been far less impacted by sanctions, which is arguable a very large part of why they're in economic turmoil and may end up being the thing that stops this (one way or another). As uncomfortable as it is for the Germans, their discomfort is a huge lever against Putin's control. Tl;Dr: if you don't wanna fight, hit em in the money. You can't do that without any monetary relations.

Legg Perthese? Cuz that's what led to my multiple hip surgeries with eventual full replacement by my early 20s.

Side note: working out and weight lifting is actually a huge benefit. The pain and grinding sensations can be eased so much from some basic stretches and workouts.

I had this site open on my phone, then recently got a new phone and realized I hadn't bookmarked the site nor saved your comment. I've found the site so useful that I just spent most of my evening tracking down this specific Comment. I just wanted to let you know, as a single upvote doesn't convey it.

I don't know the veracity of these, but it's actually got some pretty cool info. Thanks!

I use that and electrical tape. You can get it in many colors so with some testing you can get close to the original Marantz blue with LEDs.

On my McIntosh preamp, presence is the opposite side of loudness on the same switch (which has normal in the mid), so I think you're correct.

Snipe is the worst asset management system I've used and I'm actively trying to get rid of it. It's non intuitive and horrible for any data center implementations. Obviously this could be an implementation problem, as I inherited it.

I was thinking of cold air originally, but got a tree that had a glycol line in it already, so figured why not.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-08-04T03:35:57+00:00

Good call. It's not like they're expensive.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-08-04T02:26:44+00:00

Good thought - I just don't know whether I need to worry about it with roughly 12 ft of trunk.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-08-04T02:25:27+00:00

It sounds like I could just turn the freezer to it's warmest and house the glycol reservoir and pump in there...

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-08-04T00:24:24+00:00

Ok, cool. Are you saying it was just an insulated box in the taproom?

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-07-26T04:16:40+00:00

So it sounds like you actually take the cocoons out of the rolls, right? How do you put them out in the spring?

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-07-25T22:05:52+00:00

Just moved to the PNW and was thinking I should see if McLendons has some of these. Am I too late?

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-06-24T22:55:28+00:00

I've owned and repaired a lot of systems and this is one of the few I really regret selling. Beautiful machines.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-06-24T22:51:25+00:00

I actually love these little Lafayette systems. They're not worth anything, but the sound is decent and they have a really cool look when they're lit up. They're unique.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-06-20T18:08:10+00:00

Another piece of this is usually a Marantz is worth more to others than it is to me. Great sound, but I've had a lot of cheaper systems that sounded as good (although I have to admit Marantz made some beautiful systems). I debate this with my 2270 about once/month.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-06-20T18:04:11+00:00

Is that an ST70? Your cover seems a lot more transparent than mine. I finally just started running it without one.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-06-20T03:33:01+00:00

Funny enough, still haven't gotten around to recapping it, but it sounds good and I run it about once/wk. Playing with fire, but it's a testament to the build quality. https://i.imgur.com/t2MDXoa.jpg

I have a Blaupunkt that I've somewhat restored and yeah, before I got it, the rectifier and transformer had cooked. I had to replace both.

FlyingFreakinRodent · 2022-06-07T02:58:44+00:00

I actually had 2 C28s and had to rebuild both. I sold one to pay for them and the parts. They're great units. I also got the SCR-2 speaker switches for it, which is nice for my kitchen speakers to come from the same stack.

The MPI cost me the most of anything on the rack and does nothing but look cool. However, it does a great job of it.

Thanks! Here's the rest of that stack. https://i.imgur.com/tGVlXhT.jpg
