The Eagle has landed.

Reminder : that’s a 2500HD to the left, and a 1500 to the right.

My friend has McIntosh, it sounds amazing. I want to spend my money on trvel and hiking. I came super close to buying a motorcycle. Also looked at some other things I really wanted to do. But hiking and travel are huge for me. So it would take a large cash infusion for me to do Mcintosh. The sunk costs fallacy digs deep here, because once you argue with someone for so long, you feel like you need to get something out of the time invested.

Home. HSU VTF-3 mk4 I am having fun with upgrading my audio stuff a bit. Love this picture.

^ Wow, almost same size. I know you like chrome, but I really dig the color with blacked out wheels and grill. Congratulations, looks sharp!

Looks like McIntosh. Another bucket list buy.

Cottonwood is going nto be all over every air conditioning condenser on campus. Neat looking audio room.

Thanks. No excuses for my actions as I take 100 percent personal responsibility for them. However, i really have been super seriously struggling with depression last couple of days. Last couple of weeks actually. Hiking a bunch and spending lots of time just listening to music have helped me a bunch. Brought home a new subwoofer. Thought it was going to be small, didn't check on size, told my wife I was buying a small subwoofer. Got to the sellers house (FB marketplace) and it sounded great but it was the size of a small Buick. Did I mention I have a loving and tolerant wife?

Don't know if I had one coming my way or not but either way, I apologize for any negative contribution to that exchange. I would love to be able to catch a shot like that with my DSLR! Nature is chaos and beauty at the same time.

Leaving a Factory in Detroit on the old NYC mainline.

True. I can see that. So it's probably better to cut your losses. This happened in 2020 ... and it happened in 2016 via social media. You cut ties with people. I'm even seeing that I probably have to cut ties with some anti-vaccination folks I know. It's a predictable kit of parts. - - - - - On the brighter side, the EU is poised to reopen to North Americans who have been vaccinated. I have watched airfares take a big jump. Nonetheless, it will be reopening and I'm very happy about that.

Most of the people you argue with, but, at the same time, don't want dialogue, tend to be those who don't know how much they don't know. So, yes, there is no point when you look at it in hindsight.

Subs open up even classical and Jazz so much. I have wanted one for the longest time, got a bonus at work and splurged. Polk makes some fantastic sounding stuff. I almost went with a set of Polk floor standing speakers, but went with a set of Pradigms instead. Stirling Moss's Dog....

Dealer had it so long the plates came in. i think I’ve only driven it 4-5 miles at this moment. So far, so good!

Doesn't change my position

Pollen seems to have been worse this Spring than in recent years...oak tree pollen all over everything....beautiful, unusually warm sunny weather. But the pollen is killing me.

Not to mention that it is NOT a Food Grade Plastic and so who knows what chemicals are being added to that poor tea! Talk about a Health Code VIOLATION! ?

As an avid sweet tea enthusiast southerner who makes his own brew, that is a felony where I come from. That is a whole other white trash tragedy right there. There are literally stainless containers for just such a purpose, where you go through 55 gallons of tea an hour lol.

Education is useful. Only in the South.

I think if you look at the warnings handed out, you’d have a different position

The "pick up" is actually kind of neat (reminds me to the VW microbus with PU beds) but the rest is a mess IMO.

They remind me of hot wheels toys... ? Truck is pretty cool though!

I forgot that these even existed. I havent seen that many in my lifetime, maybe 2. Or was it the same one that I saw twice. I saw it when I was a kid. Anyway, thanx for the blast from the past! EDIT: Yeah, not that you need any validation from me, but the Canoo version DOES look a lot like the Veedub!

Nice truck, Balthy! May it give you years of loyal and reliable service! Enjoy!

Congratulations on a sweet ride!

@ccap41 @surreal1272 @A Horse With No Name Home Theater is where I am at, love my setup. I have a matched set of Velodyne subwoofers, will have to check the model number, but they rock. Have not look at the company in years since I bought them. Should be surprised, but not that they were bought out when the founder retired. Still in business now as Home - Velodyne Acoustics Some great deals on Vintage high end stuff here: Vintage Audio Exchange

Not everyone should be allowed to weld vehicle frames...

Cheap flights are often available if youa re flexible. Looking at south America myself. I am destined to die broke. My wife asked me to look at buying used woodworking tools....with cash and a little negotiation, the world is your oyster. My younger son Daniel turned me on to cheap flights, likewise. My good friend David turned me on to cheap audio equipment....likewise. My Oldest son and middle daughter turned me on to air bnb, likewise.... My good Friend Erik has turned me on to a bunch of good mid priced restaurants in Columbus. My wife likes going different places to hike... I still love cars, motorcycles, trains, planes and the like. Die broke but happy. Odd but real company truck...or good photoshop...but funny. Balthazar should appreciate this one....as do I...

I would've thought that would mean you could read thru that sort of fluff & misdirection.

To recap the timeline: signed numberless order form on 12/23/20, truck was delivered 4/29/21, couple things happened and I took delivery 5/20/21 : 21 weeks later. Whew.

Nice! My current home theater sub is a Polk PSW505. It definitely gets the job done and will rattle things but I'd like to upgrade eventually. I also bought it off of Facebook Marketplace.

Hell yeah! Congrats! Loving it thus far?!?

Home or car subwoofer?

I can see that in my driveway.

Squeeze all you can from them!

MAN!! is press release copywriting money well spent on you!! ?

Salesdude called today; truck is ready. Drove by this evening but didn't see it out; I'll bet they got it entombed for safety. Will dance tomorrow, see what I can get out of them.

Sorry Drew, end of line. Back to the Cool Ford F-150 Lighting. Starting at under $40K, about time for a decent EV!

Storm chaser Laura Rowe got this awesome shot in Texas...

From an era where so much greatness was created! 1 of the 547 built '87 Buick GNX's just sold for $205,000. Kicker is, that's actually the second-highest price paid for one. In 1987, only the Porsche 911 Turbo could barely squeeze past a GNX in a 0-60 run, by 1/10th of a second. https://www.foxnews.com/auto/rare-1987-buick-gnx-muscle-car-sold-for-205000

Quoted for Truth on Cars! And your choice is????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Too Funny!!! Love this, I would so take a Road Runner any day over the butt ugly Bugatti The PERFECET MEME for @balthazar The dream of dreams for @oldshurst442

It's in a balance. As a master electrician, I have worked in areas with lax oversight. I have seen some amazingly stupid things.
