OT: 'Off topic' thoughts

[rumman]

My almost 20 years old Yamaha RXV1900 is still kicking asses. I know the newer Atmo-supported receivers have better sound but I'm not ready to upgrade yet.

I’m still rocking a JVC JRS 501 in the garage, it blows away my NAD and Cambridge Audio integrated amps by a country mile. Not the lightest or prettiest, but still holds a huge place in my heart………..

Yamaha makes great surround sound receivers.
Hope you have an OLED.

Not yet. When this TV croaks, I'll likely look into something like that. Those things look amazing.

Bill Burr and I see the world almost exactly to a tee, I’ll give a honourable mention to the late great Mitch Hedberg, RIP brother……..

Hedberg was one of the greatest of all time if you ask me.

One of my faves for sure. I haven't watched much standup at all over the last couple of decades but I just checked out Bill Burr too, damn he's hilarious!

Ohhh how could I forget! Good ol' Mitch.
Have an old friend that still to this day quotes him all the time!

He was a gem, when his deli corn beef sandwich came the waiter asked him if he needed anything else, Mitch replies “yeah a loaf of bread and four friends.”

Norm is still one of my favorites, as well.

You don't have to be sorry. It's 3AM, you're a dry cleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I'm not going to show up at 10 o'clock the next morning saying someone owes me an apology.

You have to hear this one to really appreciate it:

My favourites were always: I bought a talking parrot and he died. He never told me he was hungry.

and I used to do drugs. I still do but I used to too.

That drugs line is one of my faves also.

I like to eat rice, whenever I'm in the mood for two thousand of something.

Leafs and Bills win, Steelers lose. A good day. That Josh Allen sure can play!

For those interested in the waterfront east redevelopment of the former portlands area. The new mouth of the Don River is now fully connects the lake to the river.




What I recently discovered is that the TPA is planning to build a cruise ship terminal with the development of that area. The existing terminal is pretty small...and the numbers suggest it's a need.

I have a Mesa Boogie F-30 and a Hughes & Kettner Grandmeister 36. Great range of tonal options...but I am currently on the market for a Fender Blackface.

I used to own a Fender Deluxe Reverb (reissue). For playing solo jazz guitar, that thing was the king. Never tried a blackface.

Fender cleans really can't be topped
Now I just need to convince the wife that another amp is needed.

No matter the question, the answer always is that another amp (or pedal) is needed.
