This is after we went to play in the snow earlier. The car had been cleared mostly off a few hours ago. My driveway is at the bottom of 3 hills. So far, work is delayed 2 hours and school is called off. I don't think I'll be going in tomorrow. **BRENT**

Didn't you ride a 58 the past few years? **BRENT**

Last I heard he loves it! Thanks again. Haven't seen him in a while. He lives 100 minutes in one direction and works 100 minutes in another. We don't get to hang out too often I'm pretty sure that's the same guy, though. Grawk needs to buy that now. He thinks he can fit on a 59. **BRENT**

Isn't that the husband bike that you saw when you helped someone get the wife bike a year or two ago? It looks crazy familiar. **BRENT**

Titanfall for 6$ http://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/146467 **BRENT**

Anyone need to add trays to their roof rack? Yakima Copperhead for 26$ + 5$ shipping. These are normally 100$, or around 70$ on sale. http://slickdeals.net/f/7682832-yakima-copperhead-roof-bike-rack-25-99-5-shipping?src=pdw&v=1 **BRENT** Edit: Just realized it's at Woot, and good for 4 days or until sold out (now that it's hit front page of SD, it'll be sold out.) Since it's 5$ shipping per order, could do 83$ shipped or 3, or 57$ shipped for 2 (if they don't charge tax for you.)

Heh. Maybe I should get that version to keep at work. **BRENT**

Heh. I have a picture/list of when I was in 7th grade. "Ace of Base" was my "favorite band" at the time. This just brought back a fond memory. The same teacher (my science teacher, Eddie Mooneyham, but we called him simply "Eddie" or "Moneyham") once referred to my skin tone as a "built-in tan." I still use that line to this day. **BRENT**

^ What is this system? **BRENT**

It sounded like it happened on it's own, Torpedo... no worries. **BRENT**

Love this thread. I think I got into things because I've played music on and off since I was 7 (piano) and then switched to saxophone (12). I remember having a Sony shelf system with a CD carousel and dual tape deck. It's one of the ones that looked like a stack of real components and real bookshelf speakers instead of the crazy nonsense they got into later. It was great for the bedroom, and I'd have music going in my room all the time, even when I slept. For the go, I remember back in 1990, I had a Sony WM-FX33 walkman. It had a 2 band equalizer and radio, and I loved it. I remember listening with the stock headphones in the backseat of my parents' car. It sounded good when I was 9, but I wanted more, of course. Fast forward to the mid 90s and I $$$ saved up from birthdays/Xmas. I remember going to Service Merchandise and getting either a Sony D-365 or D-465 (whichever one was 200$, b/c 200$ was bonkers in the mid 90s for a 14 or 15 year old, and my mom thought I was crazy.) I wound up getting some Koss Porta Pro Jrs for 20$ (price matched a mistake somewhere else) from Camelot Music, and my mind was blown. I was hearing stuff out of albums I'd never heard before and that's when I realized I was into headphones. I remember the CD player was supposed to get 10-12 hours of battery life off 2xAA, but I would buy the Energizer Lithium AAs which wound up getting 20 hours (was already into throwing $$$ at the problems as a teenager.) I moved on to an Aiwa CD/MiniDisc/tape shelf system that got me into my early 20s where I got into home theatre with a Kenwood 5.1 HTIB which was highly rated at the time. A car audio buddy of mine help me set it up (tape measures, protractors, everything) and that system wound up being better for movies than anything other than demo rooms. i haven't had a 5.1 setup in almost 10 years, and I'm mostly just headphones at work now, but I still love this stuff. I wound up going through "60$ DVD players that compete with 2000$ CD players" phase, and now through some good trades and some goodwill finds, I have some Rega Jura speakers, Wharfedale Diamond 2 bookshelf speakers, a NAD receiver, a Luxman integrated amp, a Marantz tape deck, a Cambridge Audio 640Cv2, and some other stuff. Most of it sits unused, sadly, but Tidal at work is keeping me spinning bits for hours a day, 5 days a week. Hmmm... now I want to hit up some thrift shops for an old Walkman. **BRENT**

It's no Whataburger... **BRENT**

Congrat! **BRENT**

Meant to post this. Get three. Your neighbors are horrible people and deserve Colin music. **BRENT**

I know some people here buy silver; supposedly this is a good price. http://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/145480 **BRENT**

Search for "Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross" on Tidal. They come up as an artist together, but I was having an issue pulling up THAT one (it pulled them up individually, and I also favorited some NIN for work tomorrow). I'm not in love with the search on Tidal, but I usually find what I want (and only once or twice have I found it only to have it not streamable.) As far as Neko Case goes, here's the deluxe edition. https://listen.tidalhifi.com/album/21988886 Hope that halfway helps. **BRENT**

What were they? **BRENT**

My minidisc (college) and 8-track (dad's) rigs went up in the fire a few years ago. Ahhh, the good ol' days. I do have about 50 laserdiscs (including a lot of Criterion stuff), now I just need a player and "RAD" on laserdisc... Then things will be complete. **BRENT**

From the same site Jeff linked: http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/How-To-Fix-A-Washing-Machine/48-2-915469-/Frigidaire-Washer-overflowing-FTFB4000FS0 There is some more information here; it gives three scenarios for why it would be overflowing or filling. Do any of these fit what you're doing? **BRENT**

Can you get us a model #? **BRENT**

Get the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon (399$) or the newer Debut Carbon DC (449$). In stock everywhere and it's not too terribly much more than the U-Turn upgraded model. It seems the Wow+Flutter of the U-Turn winds us measuring about twice as high as specs (tested on multiple decks), and that may be something you care about. The Carbon comes with the well regarded 99$ Ortofon 2M-Red installed, which is standard fare on even the 999$ and 1500$ VPI turntables out now. (I have been looking to buy something for the past year, and after reading everything and talking to friends who have heard lots of stuff, it seems these are the way to go, especially since the U-Turn is a few months out.) **BRENT**

Supposedly a 5D4 in the ~25mp range is coming in August. **BRENT**

Yesterday, I went to watch my son in his magnet school's spelling bee. He made it to the final round, and lost out only to his friend and classmate. Super proud of him, and we went and had a celebratory dinner at our favorite Mexican place. **BRENT**

From friend who works there, at the corporate office: **BRENT**
