Open it up and check the fuses, I've had that happen from lightning and the fuses will blow to protect the circuits

I told you I shoot trains!
Here's a shot I took of a BNSF double stack climbing up from the Columbia River level of about 500' where it will top out at 1200' or so. Doesn't seem like a big grade but it is about 3% in this area. For every 100' forward 3' up. BNSF has a set speed limit of 30mph so the locomotives don't tear up the track too badly. The sound is incredible. Taken with a Nikon D7500 and 18-200mm lens. Resized from over 10mb to 1.6mb. View Attachment1% is the max grade on the Columbia River subdivisions. I assume this was taken just west of Trinidad.

Well either your mind is divorced so badly from reality that you honestly don't think giving the finger to a democratic politician right in the middle of a heated campaign, and right after a major democratic debate isn't actually making a political statement, or, you do know it's political but you just don't care because you thought it was funny and hey, it's the other side after all (and make no mistake, you are VERY hard-right leaning, as are the majority of the old folks on this forum.) Prepending a political statement with "this isn't political" doesn't mean the statement isn't all of a sudden not political. Look, I really wasn’t trying to be political. You don’t believe me? Fine. I fixed your objection, it’s still funny! IT Was A Joke. God knows we see the end fighting all day every day, I’m not here for that. Delete the posts with the objectionable image and it’s gone. This has gone from a humorous post to WTF faster then I ever thought! When I take offense to something, I rarely give merit to it by acknowledging it at all. I made the “some people list?” Damn, I wasn’t even trying! LOL So it wasn't a midget joke?

And (wouldn't you know it...) someone on the local CraigsList is offering a JL Audio Fathom 212v2 for $3K or best offer. Should I? Yes you should.

I took a shot of this Monarch butterfly last year that landed on one of my golfing buddies. He sat there for 4-5 shots before departing for more interesting places. Strange that the butterfly would sit there on your buddies waist while he played 4- 5 shots. Why was he not wearing pants? Over on the east side of the state, the butterflies aren't ephrata nothing!!!

General McArther was quite partial to the southeast Asia area/southwest Pacific, esp. the Philippines. So, his world was centered there. Mark I thought that MAYBE that was it - or maybe a different MacArthur that I had not heard-of / but not necessarily "funny". Not trying to rain on yer parade - I see the point now, but as "humor" this one qualifies as a "groaner"... (Maybe if there were "attack" arrows from islands all pointed to Japan, or something North of the 38th Parallel, making a smiley face or something.) This map was created by Stuart McArthur of Melbourne, Australia. He drew his first South-Up map when he was 12 years old (1970). His geography teacher told him to re-do his assignment with the "correct" way up if he wanted to pass. Late, when he was an exchange student in Japan, he was teased by his exchange student-friends from the USA for coming from "the bottom of the world." It was then, at age 15, he resolved to one day publish a map with Australia at the top. Six years later, while at Melbourne University, he produced the world's first "modern" south up map and launched it on Australia day in 1979.

Just play it like you would any other record
When you play a mono record on a stereo setup, each channel gets the same information from the cartridge. When the signal comes out of the speakers, you get a mono, centered image - the same as if you had a dedicated mono setup and a single speaker.

Holiday Wishes Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2019, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other countries nor the only "America" in the Western Hemisphere. Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee. I read slowly and having to plod through all those words you used makes me feel threatened. #METOO
