Yes, 'ol Keiko is still alive & kickin' and I hope everyone, (friend or bozo) is doing well. Sorry I haven't been hanging around much on the forum these days, but audio is still one of my passions and I think about some of you often. Y'all know who you are. ;)

Anyway, I'm reaching out here and trying to contact Greg, aka Inspiredsports. Does anyone know if he's still around or how to contact him? IIRC, he operated his own watch business and this is why I'm hoping to contact him. I got a couple of time pieces I need help with. If anyone knows how to contact him or his company, please let me know.

TIA and please gimme a shout back. I'd like to catch up with some old friends. Amazing all the years that have passed since I was a green newb. I learned so much from a lot of cool folks here on this forum. Some, I know have passed on and are sincerely missed.

Shout-out to Jesse, Club Polk Prez w/exceptional hair. Dark Knight, Master Jedi & Sith Killer. George Daniel, aka Lt. Dan. John, Boots to Arses, Stasny ;) MrBigBlueLight, DaBoys, Rich, Carl, Troy, TonyB and so many other old timers, too numerous to mention here. Y'all know who you are.

And Greg, if you're out there, holla back at me. Appreciated!

    Hey Mike, great to hear from you. I hope Janey and dogs are keeping you out of trouble. It's basically the DDSS syndrome around here ;)

    Sorry, no idea how to contact Inspiredsports. Surely there's a watch repair guy on the island, no?

    Mmmm, PIE! I like PIE! :*

    I dunno, Jesse. Can't even find a good electronics tech around here these days. At one time, they were everywhere. Now, it's just the Geek Squad.

    Janey and I are doing good. Celebrating 41yrs this Sunday. We're doing Italian Sunday night. : )~~~

    Tom, nope! Still running the same 2ch. rig I've had for 15yrs now. Only change was my investment into a Cambridge 752BD. Nice piece, but it's grown obsolete now with all this 4k/streaming. I use it for movies, but mostly as a DAC for my NAS. TopHatJohnny introduced me to those and I love it. My entire music library at my fingertips.

    Pittdog, yes I did. Hoping he responds.

    I'm a diabetic now. This is detrimental to my health. Plus, I'd need lots of mrlittlebluepills to satisfy her appetite. But thanks, bro. ;)

    Hey Mike, nice to hear from you. Hope things are well in paradise.
