Really Boring Stuff Only II: Return of the Boredom

"My contacts ... my pictures !!! "

iAlex 5.0 has now been installed.

 

[Adam]

In bed (well, chair) last night by 7, up this morning at 5. I didn't sleep all that well, but that's the most time that I've had to try in a while. I think that I need to work on the cushions in the chair - I've had trouble sleeping the past week.

She doesn't know that every nickle spent is a nickle separating me from Swerd's speakers...

I'm out of the loop - which speakers are these?

Dennis Murphy designed MB-27's with snazzy looking PE cabinets.

Swerd's had all the parts and pieces for a couple of years and is willing to part with the package for the prices of yesteryear. Not without value is the level of know how and instruction he brings to the DIY table. I was thinking if I could help him move his center I might get a discount.

Yep, I'm sneaky like that.

Black Friday sales have Cheryl all up in a tizzy. She doesn't know that every nickle spent is a nickle separating me from Swerd's speakers because I haven't let her in on the master plan which is to be sweet as pie and support her in any and all decisions/purchases until about a month after Christmas and then BAMMM !!! ... new speakers: Dennis Murphy designed MB-27's with snazzy looking PE cabinets. I need a local buyer for my BR-1's with their loved up cabinets. It's amazing that I know so few people that are into audio. They're all listening to Utube on their iPhone speakers talking about how great these songs are and shoving their retarded phones in my face saying look, look ... one of these days I'm going to snatch one of those phones and whip it at a wall ... look, look ...

"My contacts ... my pictures !!! "

Haven't you heard? Jamie bought those.

What would be pisser is getting them back from Jerry Love somehow with all the required amplification and Behringer DCX's gobbley gook all sorted out ... for not much money of course.

That level of gloat lasts deep into the night ...

 

[Adam]

That level of gloat lasts deep into the night ...

And so will what convinces Jerry to make you a good deal.

J/K! I hope that you can get those speakers soon. You're clearly pretty jazzed about them.

…I was thinking if I could help him move his center I might get a discount.

I haven't had a single nibble on that center speaker after a week. I may have to go ebay or craigslist.

Alex - Go back to the DIY mesquite veneer thread. Need your expert input there.

 

[Adam]

I was thinking if I could help him move his center I might get a discount.

For some reason, I took that to mean physically move his center channel. I guess my mom is right. I am "special."

At least now I know why you asked me if I was interested in it.

 

[Adam]

My knives got to Tucson just after noon - but too late to get on the postal truck. Darn! Oh, well. They should get here on Monday.

 

[Adam]

Granted it's just an estimate, but I'm guessing t minus 15 minutes until first beer.

 

[STRONGBADF1]

Well... was your estimate under or over?

 

[Adam]

Well... was your estimate under or over?

Unfortunately, I haven't started - but you just reminded me!

Off for the fridge.

A step up in sound quality and aesthetics plus an introduction to the sound signature being put out by a highly acclaimed speaker designer like Dennis Murphy? ... yeah, that's big for a guy meddling with low fi and DIY. My work situation is more stable now than a few months ago but if would just get steady I would probably want to tackle a more expensive DIY HT front sound stage.

That Green Lantern opening sequence escape launch into space got me my first neighbor at my door noise complaint. She said her whole space was vibrating.

I was secretly delighted but turned off the subs then and there.
I should have invited her to watch it with us. Oh well, she's moving in a week.

 

[Adam]

Ahhhh, that's the stuff!

 

[Adam]

She said her whole space was vibrating.

I wish that I could get a woman to say that.

 

[Adam]

So, Doug, you gonna join me? I'm heading off to the fridge for round two.

 

[Adam]

Hmmm. I just know that Alex is going to torture me by not posting again for a while. Can I get in 800 posts by morning? I guess that I can technically do that in 6.7 hours. Let's go.

 

[Adam]

I wish that I had a girlfriend who kept my balls in a jar.

It would make explaining some things a little easier...

 

[Adam]

Apparently, I need better bait for Alex.

I'm a master at baiting people.
