    It does not seem to have worked!

    You should fit right in.

    i really do try not to go too far back all the time, but sometimes...

    a farmer i know, that i keep trying to buy a 1990 toyota t100 off of(they lost the title), has 2 of these that have been sitting for the last 10-ish years.
    [​IMG]

    if 90's chryslers were known better to not immediately turn to dust when you look at them, i'd be getting both. not to mention, parts are unobtainable anymore for them. shame too, as he's suggested a 'buying' price of $50 for both just to get them off the land...

    but minivans are amazing for truck duties! i've looked a number of times at them, just can't commit to keeping one for main-vehicle duties.

    sansui stuff has really taken on a 'forbidden fruit' status within the audio community. i honestly don't find anything they've made all that great, sound-wise. even the cabinet construction is pretty sub-par imo, but many people pay large sums to get them...

    i love cheap gear! imo, saving money, and getting good sound always beats paying exorbitant sums for the same sound!

    sad but true.
    but the worst offender is sony. their biggest claim to fame is square speakers.

    lol, most of my collected receivers are from the 80-90's. i've got a thing for analog volume knobs.. it really started when i was a kid and blew up a nice technics stereo connecting speakers a way i shouldn't have been. now i try to buy every cheap unit i can find 'just in case'...

    my boss is in the beginning stages of setting up the entire company to use an app called 'busy busy'. he's going to be the sole admin for the app. i tried it for 3 weeks early on, told him i really needed admin access to edit times. just as your setup, he wants to use it to clock in/out of every job, as well as drive time.

    in the 3 weeks i tried using it every day, i screwed something up by at least an hour or two. started adding a last clock in/out with just notes on what i screwed up that day... except for the one week i forgot to clock out on a friday and i ran 'on the clock' all the way into monday morning. that amount of time was a shocker.

    he doesn't see it yet, but multiplied by multiple guys, i can see he's going to end up spending at least 2 hours every week just editing times...

    or the heating pad under the battery keeps it a little too warm...
    [​IMG]

    this really doesn't bode well for me. even worse than i was thinking..


    it's not the kids anymore. it's the parents/lawyers mucking things up.

    they predicted 2"-2' of snow this past friday, otherwise all out calling for an armageddon. we got 4", but it was mostly rain. schools were all preemptively cancelled, as well as the libraries shut down, and non-essential workers were encouraged to stay home.

    the roads were really clear, it was like driving during covid. i wish they'd cancel everything all the time on weekdays.

    Then the question will I be in less pain if I wait another day or more?

    Being alone it is so easy to think The next day looks better.

    Then factor in the weather.
