Especially with them being off for so long. No practices, no games. You can work out but it’s a bit different from being in game shape (IMO anyway).

CBus looked exhausted during that 3rd OT. They came out with more jump in the 4th than I thought they would. They’re coming for that 5 game play-in series too. I’m pulling for them. At least in this particular match-up.

Columbus vs. Tampa Bay game is in it’s 4th overtime. edit, make that a 5th OT. This is crazy! Top 5 longest game in NHL history.

Thats ******* crazy!! Wtf?!

https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/world/new-zealand-restrictions-intl-scli/index.html 4 new cases and New Zealand is reinstating covid restrictions. Will last at least 3 days and then they’ll reassess. By contrast, the US had almost 50,000 new cases yesterday alone and our federal govt. says “eh ?‍♂️ whatever”.

Another one to add to the ignore list... ?

Not sure. I was just posting what they said on ESPN.

Breaking news it’s cancelled. They plan to play in the spring instead.

Yeah I remember seeing pictures from flights on the concorde where you could start to see the curvature of the earth. Iirc it flew at around 60,000 feet.

I didn’t know it premiers tonight. Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely be watching. I watch every season of hard knocks. I look forward to it every year. Ive been watching “all or nothing” recently on amazon. That’s another good series.

https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2020/08/10/new-york-rangers-win-2020-nhl-draft-lottery/ Rangers get #1 overall as Dr. Who mentioned. Id have definitely preferred for it to go out west but at least Toronto didn’t win it! ? and at least LaFrienere won’t be in our division. Technically, with the teams in the bottom 7 and with Ottawa holding 2 top picks, all 3 of the top 3 picks could have ended up right in our division. So it definitely could have been worse. the NYR are going to be a really good team though. I love what their GM has done so far in their rebuild. It’s been about 10x faster than the Sabres too, but it sure helps when so many players want to live & play in NYC (and big time execs want to work there too, like John Davidson). They didn’t even have to go that hard after Panarin. They got Fox to sign there instead of going to UFA after he refused to sign elsewhere. They get good college free agents all the time (they’re basically in the running for any good college UFA they want). But Gorton has still done a phenomenal job with the rebuild. Can’t take that away from him. edit - just saw that the Leafs 1st round pick sits at #13. They sent it to Carolina this past offseason to dump Patrick Marleau’s contract. ?? Ouch.

Toronto eliminated. Columbus definitely deserved to win this series. They were the better, more motivated team. Now we just cross our fingers that Toronto doesn’t win the #1 overall pick... ?

Royal blue Jersey reveal on Tuesday.

props to New Zealand!

I’m an oblate spheroid earther. ?

Ok I’ll let you know. If I do I’ll give you first dibs. But I’m not sure if I’m going to sell any of it (the good stuff anyway...lol).

Btw hapless, I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate everything you’ve done in these threads. I’ve relied on you for factual info since this pandemic began. I don’t know if people appreciate all of the time that goes into all of the posts you’ve made. You dig into research papers and lay out the info for us. I know You’ve spent countless hours putting together posts for this board. For free. For all of us. Out of the goodness of your heart. So, thank you again! It really means a lot to me and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate it! and I don’t think you talk to people like 2nd graders at all. I think you use logic and reason in your posts.

Seems to me like Gates explained what he meant by “garbage, wasted”, no?

I guess my dad was actually going to buy the JBL 100’s instead of those EPI 100’s but he wanted a sealed speaker (or at least that’s the story I was told...). Doh! Those JBL 100’s were JBL’s most popular speaker EVER. So popular they recently brought them back. List price: $2000. Each. ($4000/pair) https://www.crutchfield.com/S-47vZ8Hc3cEu/p_109L100BLK/JBL-L100-Classic-Black-Grille.html The originals are still selling for like $1500+. Found an old Marantz 4 channel amp too (in the original box!). Then noticed some of the records are “quadraphonic”. I guess 4 channel music was a thing for a minute? Hey @4_kidd_4 do you have any home audio gear? If so what do you have (speakers and receiver/amp specifically). I’m speaker shopping at the moment.

They’re from the 1970’s. https://www.humanspeakers.com/e/epi100.htm Im not sure if it’s the woofer. I just didn’t think the woofer on the one speaker sounded right. Could be a capacitor that dried out or something else. I actually found the original replacement woofers for it for $25. I may do it just for fun (if that’s what it ends up being. Found 2 sets actually. I can only attach one pic in this post. It won’t let me attach the other picture no matter how small I make it. I tried to post it in a seperate post but couldn’t do that either. So anyway, the other one is the EPI 100 I posted the link to. The one below is a “Criterion 4x”. I think it was the house brand of an old electronics store called Lafayette’s. https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Catalogs/Consumer/Lafayette-1976-Catalog.pdf

Just found some old best,R’s records cleaning my attic. Actually found about 200 (+/-) records total, and an old technics turntable. Found some old EPI100 speakers too but it sounds like they need a new woofer (not worth it). Anyone here into home audio?
