Well, the 6inch Jensen speaker shoehorned into this tiny amplifier just fine after I carved that channel in the bottom. Ended up with a 1/8th inch clearance on either side of the braces that mount the speaker face and also under the amp chassis. I knew it would make a difference in the sound but...

I have a egg steamer to hard boil mine. It holds 10 at a time. I will have one with my turkey sausage breakfast croissant every other day or so. When I feel the need for a snack after dinner I will often have one then. A wee bit of salt and a fair amount of pepper is all I want on them.

There is enough drama in life, we don't need it here. I like the tight rein on this forum, even when it applies to me.

Toscana soup, some fresh french bread with olive oil, and diced pears smothered in fiesta blend cheese.

If I could find a C6 Z06 in good shape and not break the bank I might go ahead and have a 'mid-life crisis'. Nice 'Vette you found there.

I picked up a K22 Target Masterpiece off GB a little while back that came with NR targets. I like them a lot.

The original owners of the house behind me cut off a couple of the main branches that were heading towards his two story house. Disappointing, but it was on his side. Wish he had talked to me about it though. The present owner really does not seem to care. I am not a fan of his crepe myrtles...

A juvenile redtail hawk was hanging around the corner near the house this morning. I managed to get a couple pictures. Later, when I was leaving the house to go to Home Depot for some lag screws I startled it in the holly tree right out front. I wish I had noticed it was there before I opened...

Miss PeeBee taking a rest after dinner the other night. Still don't know where the kittens are.

Back in the '90s I was living in a 3rd floor apartment near the Galleria area of Houston. I used to golf at Hermann Park Golf Course some and one day I picked up a acorn from a red oak on course. I planted that thing in a pot and put it out front of my apartment next to the door. The darn thing...

The muffaletta from the sandwich shop down the road is my absolute favorite.

I had a few cans of salmon about to hit their 'expiration date', so I made up a batch of salmon croquets like Mom used to. My favorite way to eat them is as a sandwich. Yesterday I took one of the patties, a slice of provolone, a brioche bun, and some good olive oil. put them all together and...

Cut down barrel with the sight well relocated.

Well, young PeeBee is no longer pregnant. Still hanging low in the belly from milk production but no longer broad as a barn. Yesterday was the first time I had seen her in 2 or 3 days. So I guess she had the kittens during that time. Not sure where they are, as they are not in the little...

The Yamaha GA-10 amp that will be going to my niece along with the Japanese Sorrento starter guitar is getting a speaker upgrade today. The original speaker is listed as 12cm or 4.75inch, but that counts the metal speaker frame. It is actually 4.5inch of speaker. It will be replaced by a Jensen...
