Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[gtmalone]

Is that a piece of saki I see in his maws?

The speakers look like they have an LED array along the bottoms of the baffle.

Is that a PAS-3? I had one of those in the mid '70s.

How about a small fan to divert the heat from the bottom of the glass?

The speakers are Dynaco A25s. That's the port on the bottom. Preamp is a Dynaco PAS3, power amp is a Dynaco ST70.

Have though about a fan, too.

Honda Valkyrie...and it DOES sound like a Ferrari...lol. Especially with those 6into6 straight pipes. As loud as any Harley but sounds nothing LIKE a Harley, which is exactly what I wanted.

Cool bike. Always liked they way the looked especially the Rune. I saw one of those at the Honda store. It's a large bike especially the length.

This was my first bike in '73 - Honda CL175. The pic is not mine but it was exactly like this except I had straight pipes.

It all depends on the Body-Fragility-to-Play-Extremity Index. You know, the good old BFPEI!

Moms, of course, always underestimate their child's Index. Thus the exaggerated helmets, pads, boots, seatbelts and whatnot. Come on, Karen, kids are tougher'n that!

Drunks, on the other hand, always overestimate their own Index. Thus, "hold my beer" is never followed by "gimme that helmet" when it certainly should be. Come on, Earl, it's not worth it!

For the rest of us, hopefully, Life is a continuing balance of body protection vs play restriction with the ever elusive 1.0 being the ideal, if not easily achievable, goal. And, of course, everyone's tolerance to that goal is different.

Or so it seems ... ...
.

When I play...je tombe. So, I can't have an index 'cause I can't divide by zero.

Memories! My first bike was a late '60s Suzuki 120. Only a skilled marketing department could make a POS like that bike sound good. Holy crap, but it was hard to keep tuned.

Can someone decipher this for me? I mean, I meeeaaan, this it totally weird different!

Well, that's not something you see everyday. Very creative.

As long as there is gravity you're not dividing by zero. My eldest son broke his only tooth just learning to stand! His mother blamed me for not holding on to him.

Very happy with the new speakers - JBL Stage A130. There is enough space on the desk now for the speakers, amp, and monitor. The old audio cabinet will be donated.

Vintage audio has moved to the sunroom with the old coffee table repurposed. Need to make grills for the speakers.

Yesterday was International Woman’s Day. In solidarity, I took a multi-vitamin plus hair, skin, and nails supplement intended for women. I don’t feel any different today. I am having a bad hair day.

My celebration of International Women's Day started with making my annual appointment with the gyn. I don't feel any different today and everyday is a bad hair day.

In my household, the wife's bad hair day has a 'trickle down' effect.

So, don't buy them in the first place .

The surest way to get other women wound up at me is not to wear a bra. I've never heard a man tell me to put on a bra. Absolutely I will hear that from other women

I venture to guess that those who "wound up at you" HAD to wear one .

Not to put too fine a line on it, but there is a certain kind of person who is outraged about <ehrm> immodest women. And worse, no doubt. I still know (but don't talk to) people outraged by Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

Some call it a malfunction...others call it planned. Malfunction implies it happened on it's own .

Much ado about not much.

Absolutely these things happen on their own. Ocean, surf, bikini.

... but not to me

People should be attired with dignity. I won’t say any more.
