My wife has been taking boxing for about 6 months. Went to a nearby park to keep her company in trying a new place. At the age of 69, signed up, got hand wraps & gloves for the first time ever. Hadn’t done push ups, sit ups, jump rope or run in years, so ended up pulling some muscles the...

Nice photos & peaceful settings! I've only rented plastic kayaks at Tumon Bay on Guam - very different.

If your body can handle getting in & out + the clutch pedal, I'd say go for it! Used to have a RX-7, Supra, MR2 but would have problems w/ them now. Was sad to sell our IS300 but having a blast w/ our new Tesla Model S.

None really in the unobtanium category: 69 Plymouth Roadrunner 69 Z28 Camaro 82 Mazda RX-7 94 Toyota MR2 04 Lexus IS300 15 Tesla Model S

I have my Jr & Sr year books. One of my 'friends' wrote stuff that was sooooo bad I had to paste a blank piece of construction paper over it (although I can't recall what it was). A tamer statement started out with: "You are a swell plant. You are as crazy as a newborn piece of sh_t"...

A salesperson brought a Tesla over to our house today for my wife & i to test drive. I was blown away by the acceleration of the car; it just accelerates very quickly with no drama (no wheelspin, or noise). The only thing I could compare it to was a SS396 Camaro or '69 Roadrunner. The car...

I have what would be considered a mid-fi system, which is good enough to detect these differences. Probably wouldn't have noticed changes in my earlier systems. It is definitely more than a change in equalization - some of the changes include imaging. For example, a singer's vocal would seem...

if you choose to not believe in differences, that's fine. The listening was based on playing the same music - I'm not into test tones.

i wondered about the big difference between how the two sets of cables sounded, so I switched the connections. With different audio outputs, the difference remained between Monster vs. Kimber. Also had my wife & friends listen to the cables and they also noticed the difference.

Great song by Heart.

I used to be a skeptic, however you might not notice a difference if your system is not up to it. My first receiver was a Kenwood, which wasn't that great. Followed it up with a NAD receiver and then an Arcam integrated amp. My first cassette deck that sounded any good was a Nakamichi 480...

I've had only limited experience with sit on top kayaks in the ocean and canoes on a lake. When using a kayak I want to catch waves; in a canoe I find it more relaxing & calming.

Sure looks like an interesting course! The background shots look like the Pacific. Northwest but the course looks totally different. Went to school @ UW back when the Sonics won the NBA championship, Warren Moon & James Edwards played for the Huskies.

All about the bass is by far the most recent song I've learned. Pretty simple bass line but a fun song. This young guy plays all the parts on guitar. He started 6 years ago and is really impressive.

Here's one of the best covers of 'Into the Mystic' that I've seen - really don't mind this one being stuck in my head!
