Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[ryanosaur]

It is always a day or two later when you really feel it. Bringing the BMRs up 3 flights of stairs wasn't fun either. A day later, my hip hurt. The boxes are large and awkward to carry, so I was in a weird position to carry them and they're heavy. The center is even heavier, but there's only one lol.

Hot tub, heating pad, advil, etc... I use a Theragun, that actually helps a lot.

I’ve had to free lift the bass cabinets of the Phil 3s many times. Not fun, but doable.

Massage afterwards is welcome.

now free lifting one of my outlaw x-13 Subs… that’s a different story. *crying-laughing

OK, so I have been way too busy to come up with a "contest" for the WYWH 50th BD Audio Atmos disc, so let's make it simple: Reply to this thread and give me a story about a good/fun experience with the songs from or the album Wish You Were Here, since I would like it to go to someone who has fond memories of it. I will choose someone, PM them for details and mail it off to them. It is small and light, so shipping will be pretty minor to CONUS.

I'm not gaming for this, but I will simply say that my experience with the version I have is that Welcome to the Machine left me floored. Big fan of the album as a whole. WYWH as a song is beautiful but a little trite. Have a Cigar is great... Shine On...

But when I hear all the parts of Welcome to the Machine whirring about in 5.1, I was hypnotized. Easily one of the most stunning things that I've heard. It seems such a natural vehicle for remixing as it was.

Well you may as well just send it to my house!

I'll use it as motivation to actually hook up the Atmos in the Atmos capable Denon AVR-X7200WA that Craig sold me a couple of years ago. Like I need some sort of obligation to do that work in a somewhat timely manner.

I don't think I have that album. It was on my Amazon wish list but I never pulled the trigger however a member here named Walter (I forget his user name) gave me Floyd's Pulse album on vinyl years ago and that tune is on it. I don't know if you remember him but Walter was a big fan of Source Speakers and big amplifiers. The kind of amps that would trip the breaker. He actually hooked me up with the AR turntable that I use as well.

Another good reason to send that recording my way is that I got laid off before Christmas so you can go right ahead and feel sorry for me. My pride can take it. And tomorrow is my birthday (for real). I mean, how could you not send it to me?

I'm like the AH version of Oliver Twist!

EDIT: Oh hell, I just realized I would need to buy a Atmos capable Blu-ray player for that. Isn't there some Sony or Panny unit on the market in the $300 price range that TLS and Verdinut often recommend? All I have currently is the Oppo I bought off you years back. I almost want to say TIA. Yeah, I'm like that. Even if someone else gets it I still could use a that recommendation for a good universal player that's not in the thousands.

It has improved a lot since that post. I don't notice it much at all now, which is a relief. Like most people, when I was young, I didn't give much thought to the consequences of a seemingly minor injury. It was like, "Yeah...that's gonna leave a mark, but it'll get better". But, ever since breaking my wrist six years ago, I've been more cognizant of the possible long term ramifications. It took a good three years before I could put much stress on my wrist without major pain. Something as simple as hammering a small nail was excruciating. Now, while my wrist may look a bit wonky, it's as strong as ever. But, whenever I hurt myself, I wonder what it's going to cost me.

Have you heard about these things called fleshlights? That small nail wouldn't need hardly any hammering at all if I understand it correctly. I'm just concerned about your wrist. Trying to be helpful ... but not that helpful.

I'm glad you're better.

Note: I don't think you want to get caught Googling that. I know I'm not that adventurous.
