Bwarb designed thee or four car lifts in his sleep, last night

gotta be able to park another sports car underneath

One of my old bosses had that. He was big into Morgan roadsters, had a couple of them. He could park one under the other with his lift. Also had an old-school Mini Cooper. Had some cars that were in storage.

Was telling me a story about how he and his wife were in a meeting with their financial guy, and at some point the discussion of the 9th vehicle came up and his wife said... "Wait, when exactly did you get another???" 

This is what life looks like when a guy in tech in SoCal marries a woman in tech in SoCal.

my dentist buddy with the 9 Mustangs sold his toy shed this summer.  The nice heated shed where I was able to store the vette last winter.
I was hoping the new shed would be a spot for the vette again this winter.
He downsized,........... even sold one of the Mustangs.
No spot for the Vette.

That makes me grumpy.

Running 220 is a PIA. The wire is very hard to work with.

That concert is past annoying.  Last day.

At our distance, most of what we hear is drums and heavy bass.  It gets really annoying as the heavy bass in a lot of modern music is the same thing over and over.

[utee94]

Heavy bass tends to sound like heavy bass no matter the era of music.

In the 70s and early 80s, I grew up in a house about 1.5 blocks from the local skating rink.  At that distance, and through the walls of that old steel hangar-style building, all you could hear was the bass, but you could hear it quite well.  They weren't playing rap or hip hop back then, just pop and hard rock.  The bass sounded pretty much the same, regardless.

The heavy bass in classical music often sounds like ... music.
