    The sideways Infinity towers really pull the whole room together, don't you think?

    I saw that thread! I did my best to make it sound like I thought it was cool, without actually ever saying it is...
    Granted, I’d kill for a pair of most of those speakers, but all of them...? I’m not so sure. Maybe one of each. :)

    Cool man. We have a decent scope here and this time of year is the BEST!! My fav has to be the double cluster.

    Here are my three telescopes and the red is robust enough for the kids. My next step is probaby a mount for my Nikon, but I would need to do some research.

    Nice ride bro....LS460 looks to be. They make interesting versions of this car. A long version, a package with a rear entertainment system and massaging rear seats too.

    Judging by the pic though, I must say your parking assist is broken. :):)

    More geese. I live in Cobb County Georgia, and I believe there were a couple thousand of geese in the sky on Tuesday. I'm pretty old, and I have never seen anything like it. They continued to form the "V" shapes for several hours.

    18 GS 350, I was sober when parking, just trying to keep distance from the door dingers. The new LS is an awesome car but a little too big and too pricey for me.

    Sunrise over Danville VA this morning. Sometimes you just have to stop and take it all in.

    freaking gorgeous; nice photo.
    Work-life balance, baby! ;)

    I've been to Danville... but it's been quite a while since I last passed through there...

    I work on average 14 hrs a day. Never did get that work-life balance thing.

    Wish I had of though :'(
    2 channel: Anthem 225 Integrated amp; Parasound Ztuner; TechnicsTT SL1350; Vincent PHO-8 phono pre; Marantz CD6005 spinner; Polk SDA2BTL's; LAT International speaker cables, ZU Mission IC's and power cables all into a PS Audio Dectet Power center.

    Other; M10 series II, M7C's, Hafler XL600 amp, RB-980BX, Parasound HCA-1500 amp , P5 preamp, all in storage. All vintage Polk have had crossover rebuilds and tweeter upgrades.

    I woke to the aftershock at 3:25 AM in Acworth. It shook the bed for 2-3 seconds and rattled something in my bedroom. It was something that doesn't make a noise even when the freight trains pass 1/4 mile away or my neighbor (frequently) slams his front door so hard it rattles my upstairs windows in the back.

    Didn't MAD MAX drive one of those to start his trilogy? His family station wagon that is.
    I guess not...but close though!

    A true shaggin wagon these two were. The one above and MAD MAX's too.
    I had to look this up.. https://www.shearcomfort.com/blog/mad-max-car-interceptor/ At quick thought i thought it was a AMX or something strange like that. I always liked the Pinto wagons decked out.. So this ad says 1973 Falcon V8 very interesting. I like Falcons which i thought were older. Learned something :)

    I've always wanted to join our local star gazers club but...

    I found looking at Venus or some other planet years ago with a hobbyist $ scope and tripode,( I still have it too ;):) ) the planet moved very fast out of view. :#:'(

    I then did some research and saw there are motors that turn in relation to what your viewing. They were $$$$ so I aborted the hobby. :'(

    I've always been heavily into astronomical science and knowledge. I saw a huge poster at a goodwill store years ago that showed a lot of solar system exploration missions shown on a great picture of our solar systems' planets. It had a lot of cool missions on it showing the distances getting further and further as the years progressed. There was a lot of info at the bottom of the poster. It was like 4' X 6' on poster board too and in color and MINTY too :) and I just didn't have the extra 17.00 or so they wanted for it. :s:'(

    Yep I hear ya. That's why I built mine! Didn't have the confidence/skill/patience to grind my own optics, so I purchased them.

    I also made a spotting scope from a projection TV lens assembly! Got that little baby here somewhere too!

    Here's my latest. Celestron CPC 1100. Wish I had more time to play with it. Stock image.

    That’s a great scope.
    I will say for me the planets are cool but deep space is so much better for me personally.
    Orion’s Belt, double cluster, owl cluster and andromeda are stunning when the sky is black through a light gathering tube. Can look at that all night. Saturn and Jupiter get kinda old (that sounds teriible I know) after a while
