Did a couple of chores, got the battery out of the tractor cause it would freeze in the barn. Cleaned out a bird feeder, pumped a soft tire on said tractor and brought in the hummer feeders as they have gone south. Sure nice having the golf cart to run me up that big hill out back.

I have some Advent 1/s and did have a pair of Advent NLAs...

they just do not really do it for me. The best one I have heard is the Advent/3 that has an amazing mid-range...but the woofer blats too much when slightly over driven.

I think the Snells might be the best speakers I have at the moment.
The only thing I am looking for are some nice KLH Model Fives. I really need to do a speaker sell on CL.

Sterio Spreakers for Sell!

Advents are eclipsed, but they are well-remembered and people still like 'em. And they're a big step up from a lot of the crap out there....

It is readily sad to watch these seniors doing so many strenuous exercises.

I believe we are badly led on these exercises which in my opinion do more damage to joints than they help...and this excessive running!

Don't even need the exercise, when I tore the meniscus in my knee I was planting flower bulbs for pity's sake.

Let's see: I checked the email several times; made sure that the end of the month billing is in order; met with a client; called another; worked on drafting a summary judgment brief; reviewed a arbitration panel; reviewed a collective bargaining agreement; reviewed an insurance policy; gave a research assignment to the law clerk; and wrote a strongly-worded letter.

And I fried a few spammers.

Regards,

D-Ray
