I love the kid with DS. He is German but loves the USA and our music. He even gave himself an American nickname- Missis Ippi.

They covered this blues song which is actually titled Bulldoze Blues. Dude is playing like bird quills.
I just saw Billy Gardell and he is thin. Had gastric bypass.
I would say weight loss didn't make him look healthier

He looks way better without the extra el bees
I don’t understand why cereal doesn’t have a re-sealable bag. Eggos do.
I have a fear of dentists - paradontia?
I finally got an executed contract for a house (after writing 6 over as many months)
Packing sucks
Whoever made that Taylor swift vs Katy Perry thread is an idiot

Taylor swift writes her own music and is way hotter
This is kind of a random topic, but I’ve always wondered if someone on HORT should start a thread about topics that don’t really deserve their own thread.
No. It was from another I go to that is more profession related.
The Halo guys can all go fellate a tailpipe.

I appreciate you starting this thread JR. Almost all of my OPs should just be here instead of own thread. My topics rarely have broad appeal but occasionally couple people may benefit.
This is why I love this thread. 5 people may have heard of Billie Holiday. Perhaps 1 or 2 may be interested in her reincarnation.
Dirty little secret. Most any piece of furniture, tool, gizmo, gadget or whatever can be bought at a fraction of the retail price at estate sales, auctions, 2nd hand stores, etc. Inspect, test, purchase.
Quality hand built hardwood furniture for less than sawdust and glue rubbish they want you to buy (oh and assemble yourself, thanks). Buy tools and small appliances from when they were built to last.
Fvcking awesome song! That whole album is raw and incredible.
So my (no pic) wife started binging the Apple+ show, Shrinking, yesterday as I was finishing up some work. I joined her at around episode three and we finished the season by late evening. This is a brilliant show, with fantastic writing and characters.
Afterwords, I mentioned that I came away from the show with sort of a Ted Lasso vibe in how the characters related to one another and how it makes me feel after watching.
So this morning, I’m just cruising the internet and I found the common thread… Brett Goldstein, who plays Roy Kent in Ted Lasso but is also one of that show’s writers and key creative forces, is also the writer behind Shrinking.
I’m thinking this Brett Goldstein fella may be one of the most talented and perhaps underrated writers/creators of our time.
/csb and thanks, OP, for giving me a place to put this.

Apple seems to have some good shows. The Tetris thing interests me but I already have too much streaming.
I did the same thing recently. Was looking for some specific equipment to pair with a mint condition high-end turntable from the early 80s I was given last year. Over the past couple months I was able to find a 70s era Pioneer receiver I’d been looking for and a pair of 70s Boston Acoustics speakers that I wasn’t familiar with, but work perfect with the system. All in fantastic condition. It’s been fun to set up and play with.
Yeah, I just can't help myself. Sitting in my listening room right now, 3 systems set up. Sort of my small scale old school electronics "wall of sound" equipment-wise.
In fact, heading out shortly to purchase an inexpensive tuner that needs some work...gonna begin teaching myself some recapping basics with it. I have zero true need for it because I've already got 3 damn good ones, but it's considered a pretty good tuner and is little money...no better way to begin learning how that on it.
What I need is to up my speakers game, but those are much harder to come by $ wise. Hoping once garage sale season begins I can find some steals.
Why doesn’t America and Canada just consolidate? Like two high schools. We just make one badder ass country. The United States of Americanda.
I have a Marantz 2235B receiver. I love the thing. Weighs like 50 lbs.
Excellent receiver! The one I found was a Pioneer SX-850. Circa 1977
If you’re around Waterloo I have many pair of quality vintage speakers. Pioneer hpm 100s, Accoustic Reasearch AR 2ax, 1960s Advents, Sansui, Cerwin Vegas (the big ones) and who knows what else.
I have a ‘record / stereo store’ that I haven’t bothered to even visit in over a year. Stuff just sitting there. Monster receivers all gone but plenty of other gear, turntables, black receivers, tape decks, reel to reel.
Inspect and test all you like. If interested in purchase, price is 1/2 of what similar is bringing on eBay. Either it’s a fantastic deal for you or I won’t sell.
The speakers (Boston Acoustics A200) that I picked up came from a store similar to yours. A guy in St. Charles, MO has literally dozens and dozens of receivers, turntables, speakers, tape decks, etc. that he has purchased at estate sales over the years. He cleans/replaces bulbs/recaps stereos and turntables and refoams speakers as needed and everything is for sale. Same thing as you, prices at about 1/2 of eBay prices.
He’s also an expert on Technics turntables and various cartridges. I took in my receiver and he took it apart and cleaned knobs and switches with deoxit and replaced the bulbs with LED. He also had me bring in my tone arm with cartridge and adjusted it.
It’s cool to see all the vintage 60s, 70s, 80s stereo equipment still out there in like new condition.
That dude puts me to shame! My ‘store’ is just a room in a building my friend owns. I’ve never advertised, just occasionally bring a customer over. Smart consumers seek out and find quality at their price.
Me and that guy and plenty of others are just lifers. We’re everywhere, you just have to dig!
HPM 100's (drooling noises)...
Pioneer in the 1970's...damn they made some great gear. Back when I was a kid, they were The King in my circle of friends, especially when the stereo wars kicked into high gear.
Whenever this board has threads along the lines of "if you won the lottery, what would be the first item you'd buy..." - I'd have a difficult time not picking up say an SX-1980 or a complete SPEC system. People like to talk about Marantz and McIntosh from that era, but I'd have a hard time not going for either of those.
Aw hell, why not both
