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!

My workplace was pretty casual, golf or aloha shirts & long pants. A few years back, I needed a suit jacket for meetings in D.C. - found a nice one @ Goodwill for $5. Since retiring almost a month ago, the only time I wore shoes was to play golf.

I'm currently reading 2 very different books: Bud, Sweat, & Tees by Alan Shipnuck and to hellholes and back by Chuck Thompson

There are McDonald's in many countries, but there are some differences. Instead of filet of fish, it's filet of Lapu-lapu and something different in Manila - McSpaghetti. And in Japan, there's the ever-popular corn pizza.

Just checked eBay & it's kinda sad.... There were many cameras for sale, most w/ no bids. One with some bids @ $100 & included 5 lenses + camera body! Really nice equipment going for really low prices. Was into taking surf shots in the 70's - have to get the right moment, otherwise the shots...

Also miss the days when I could go over to Woolworth's & get a key made. Used to hide my key in a hole in the frame under my '71 Corolla. Subsequent cars didn't have a similar hole so I used a safety pin to pin inside my shorts when I went surfing. I also don't trust cars that can lock...

Am totally lost when it comes to current photo equipment, although my wife has a Panasonic ZS6 Lumix. I still have a Minolta SRT-101, with zoom lenses, flash units & filters. Seems as though some lenses could be usable by using adapters, but it seems like it's not worth the hassle. Getting...

Vertical panels? A co-worker was involved with streetlight poles that had a flexible PV material wrap. They had built-in batteries and were off grid - seemed like a good idea where there's lots of snow or typhoons. A few years back, researched PV streetlight panels for installation on Guam...

At the time we built out house, we installed a solar hot water system. 4 years later we put in a PV system that reduced our electric bill from $80 - $120 down to $16 - $50, depending on the season. The federal & state tax credits made the payback period 3 - 4 years, otherwise it would have...

I find it interesting that as Americans, we have to make time to do stuff like walk. We walk our 2 dogs most every day, I started playing golf again, carrying my bag & using the Wii Fit. My wife takes exercise classes, lifts weights & yoga. I'm 62 & haven't noticed a big change yet; I've...
