One of my XM boom box speakers crapped out! Eh... it had crap sound anyway. I now have my old JVC ka-boom as it's speaker system. Powered woofers out the sides !

That is small. My redback was 1/3 the size of the standard fit, what would that be 1/10th?

I'm not going to touch them. It is advised that you where gloves and.....wait for it... a mask!.

I make fine ground powder or did once, for paint ball rounds. I will probably never use them in fact i think my modified .50 cal was recalled!! I will fix it dammit.

I once cut up to dehydrate some ultra hot hybrid habineros, they were toxic fresh couldn't eat them. I was wearing gloves but must have at one stage touched something they had. Didn't realise the went for a leak, washed my hands and must have rubbed my eye. You gotta be kidding me!
Between a burning on fire eye and tackle, I don't know which felt worse. I felt like an idiot standing squatting over a hand wash sink full of cold water with a wet face washer covering my eye.

My song...

After filming American Graffiti, transportation manager Henry Travers sold Steve's '58 Impala via a classified ad in the San Francisco Chronicle. A local teenager bought it for $285, and on the way home, the brakes failed, and one of the taillights fell off. The owner kept the car until 2015, when it went to auction and was purchased by NASCAR personality and racing commentator Ray Evernham. Evernham had the car restored to its as-filmed appearance, and the renewed Impala made its public debut at the 2016 SEMA show.
The character Bob Falfa, played by Harrison Ford, drove a '55 Chevy in the film, challenging reigning drag racer Milner. Three black ��55 Chevys were used, including a junkyard find for the crash scene and two others. These cars had previously appeared in the film Two Lane Blacktop. One had a 454-cu.in. V-8 and a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400, while the other was powered by a 427 cu.in. V-8 paired with a Muncie M-22 transmission. During the race scene, the car��s axle broke, and in a second take, the replacement axle broke as well. Only one of the ��55 Chevys remains, and for a time was owned by the same Kansas collector who had the ��32 Deuce coupe. It later went to an owner in Maryland, who restored the car to show condition, though it was extensively changed from its appearance in the film.
In total, some 300 cars were used in filming American Graffiti. Local vintage-car owners were paid $20 to $25 per night (reports vary), plus food, to lend their vehicles to the production.

One of the best "period" movies ever made!

My song...

I had a pepper spray go off in my pocket.

Something felt really cool, then the family jewels started to burn. I had about 100 ft to get into my unit, then to the washroom. Tried to wash the jewels but I couldn't get any relief.
Jumped in the Lincoln Mark 7 speed limit was 45 mph or 60 KpH. I was doing 70 mph home.
We lived in a condo on the 17th floor. It was the longest elevator ride that I had taken. 🥵

I used every type of soap, cold water, warm, hot. Scrubbed till I had some relief.
Nearly 2 hrs later grabbing something to eat at the diner, oh everthing was still a burning 🔥 😅

A week later I was shedding skin like a bad sun burn.

Today we keep a couple by the backdoor, plus a bear spray.
Never know when a 2 legged critter gets a tad ugly.

I don't know.
They were similar length.
The round ones weren't like "glass-packs" they were more like just a resonator.

Better when burned out !

Oh goin Neil Young on us now.

[My my, hey hey
Rock and roll is here to stay
It's better to burn out than to fade away
My my, hey hey]

Baby Gray squirrels came around looking to be friends while having my afternoon beer.
Walked right into my open hand.

Modern resonators... the same but different! A couple guys in the car club use Borla exhaust, great sound but spendy!

Squatting using the full emersion technique did give relief whilst doing so, but only whilst doing so. Using the said method though one needs to be prepared for the negative effect of.......

Seeing that style on a lot of the latest motorbikes here now.

 

[Oregon Viking]

I had this, or a version of this... on 2 GPZ 550's and my 900 Ninja. I removed the fiberglass innards sounded bitey, wicked great sound!!

Decided to detect a little in my regular spot before it got dark and messed with some setting on the detector to up my skill a little with my machine. The practice went well a few keeper in the short time and a silver ring not bad for the place I've been to over and over again.
