Good morning!!!!

[Gale Hawkins]

Get a good charger for the batteries. The aluminum chargers that come with most carts. Boil the water away.

Typically that means the batteries are failing in my experience. My are doing that at 7+ years. I am moving to sealed batteries to try to protect my new battery carrier frame.

The 12 volt one I just pulled out of the Prius C was 10 years and 3 months old.

Morning all, 77 going to 91 and sunny.
Family trip to the big mall today, might meet up with another family we know.
Did I ever say that I hate malls?

BEF - I don't have to worry about my Forsythia getting out of control. The deer keep them heavily trimmed :-(

Great picture PJ - Good to see you out having fun on your Anniversary!

Drew - testers glue, like for models, works great on plastic as it fuses the pieces, superglue won't do that on some plastics.

PopGadget - happy birthday to your son.

Yesterday after sons 5k and record store visit we went and bought his birthday present for next week. Took dog to peddlars village after she had a much needed bath..

Mini-split delayed again, no surprise, email from trucking company, again, saying they are investigating. Only thing I think they on investigating is if there email works. OnTrac is offtrack.

Be well,

Good worship this morning.
We have hit a high temp for the year at 95.7°, previous high of 95.2° was in May or June. Next couple days will get hotter.
Had 19 at lunch today. We took up about a third of the seating.
Having a Labor Day picnic at church tomorrow afternoon, will be a hot one.
Drew, I might have to order one of those corn cutters.

It's a race between the squirrels and the blue jays.

Thomas, I have good luck cleaning my truck windows with crumpled up newspaper slightly dampened !

That's how Mrs. cleans her Buick car windows.hmm.

, a pair of original Advent Loudspeakers,

Highly under rated speakers. The only issue with them is that the foam surround for the woofers deteriorates, but replacements are available and it’s not a big job. I’ve done lots of them.

Yep, I picked three pairs up in 2010 and redid the surrounds on all of 'em. Pretty easy to do as I recall, and sound really good. At least to my abused ears, anyway.

Good Afternoon Guys,
Great day out on the lake with two of our Grand kids !
Everyone had a great time including Opa and Nana !!

Stack one pair on top of the other with the tweeters in the middle. (Top one upside down)

my memory was Advent speakers came out as competitors to AR and KLH and Infinity.
and had excellent bass for their size, which took a fair amount of power to drive.
But most receivers today have power to drive just about anything until you go high end.
If the AR 3A was too expensive, and they definitely were power hogs, the Advents were a good alternative.

I can't crank up the music very loud but my little Klipsch speakers have those horns about three feet from my head
and I am very pleased with the sound. They are good self amplified speakers, a little warm and colored, but exceptionally open.
Helped by a Klipsch 10" powered sub on the floor under my desk.
all connected by USB to computer.

I can add a turntable to this setup also. There's so much online that's free.
and lots of sites touting audiophile music streaming so the source material is much better.

I have fun once in a while with a low frequency sweep.
How low can you go....
5, 10, 15hz still quiet
maybe under a 20 hz bandpass filter?
20hz something is vibrating
25hz the room and desk start to shake
30 hz glad I have no neighbors
35 hz now that's a thump
etc

sad part is doing the high frequency sweeps and finding out how
much hearing I've lost

my memory was Advent speakers came out as competitors to AR and KLH.

Advent was founded by Henry Kloss. The K in KLH. He was also one of the founders or AR.
Amongst his innovations were CrO2 cassettes, Dolby B implemented for cassette recording, Projection TV and more. A true visionary. And all of his products were an outstanding value. Be interesting to Google him.

[Buppies]

Good game so far Thomas

 

[Wagtail]

Good (Monday) morning. Overnight Low of 8.5C and it's presently 18C, mostly cloudy with a steady breeze.

I reckon I'll take a turn around the fence line today, just to see what needs being done.

That's about it, take care all.

 

[txdon]

Day 72 of 100s actually 104˚. Starting the 10th we should slip down to 99 for a few days and the 10 day forecast is never wrong.
The farm called and wants me back for the fall festival, I told them possibly in mid Oct. If I can see the end of probate. (sounds like jail time). I'll have to stop by there one day and go up and down the hi-rise tractor about ten times to see how my knee takes it.
PJ - nice Anniversary pic
Scott vt - looks like a mighty fine time on the lake.

Kyle the mega neighborhood garage sale is the same day as the last day of the estate sale but we are open later and also two days earlier. We can definitely spend that new raise for you.

Very good day mowing. Finished up the Laupahoehoe end and another couple hours on the Hilo end. Almost ran out of diesel, but caught it in time to make it back to tractor shed.

The hot tub felt especially good.
