Just wondering, what do we do if he wasn't in our lives?

    Actually trim our bushes because they would be alive.

    I know one thing for sure, I'd have never gone to LSAF this year, and my corneas would have not been damaged.

    2ND....I would not have to pay for life long therapy sessions, and wouldn't have the movie "deliverance" on a constant repeat cycle as I sit in my chair drooling on myself.

    Other than that....I love the guy. :)

    I was thinking how we'd have to walk and drive on dark streets at night again.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Russ is a hack!

    Whenever I pass by a boom truck with a guy in the bucket, I think of Russ. I yell "hey Russ" but the guy always replies "My name isn't Russ!."

    I used to honk the horn when I drove past George Grand's exit on the NJ Turnpike.

    I think of ol' George (Toasted Almond @ AK) when I see these bad boys rumble overhead -- many Thursday evenings.

    sorry I kind of cast a pall on this thread -- I'd put Mr. Grand & Mr. @lightman1 in the upper strata of the pantheon of Polk Forum Folk.

    Russ, keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down, as we used to say on the CB radio :)

    Well without Russ.....

    -I wouldn't have 3 dedicated circuit
    -I wouldn't have had a month or so to listen to some BOSS tube monoblocks
    -I wouldn't have gone to LSAF
    -I wouldn't have my kids bugging me about where is "Mzzzr Russ", and "Where does he live".... and finally "Where does his kids live"
    -I would have living bushes
    -I would have more beer in my fridge
    -I would have one less audio enabler around.....

    Dunno, looks like his positives outweigh his negatives :grin: ...


    P.S. Russ, your welcome here anytime.
