I've been a bad boy about reading posts over the past few days. Been busy with work, music and hiking. But I promise to get back on track tomorrow, when I have a day off. I did get a pair of speakers in for restoration this past weekend. They're KLH 6s, really nice walnut-clad speakers from 1968 or so. I'll charge $100 for the restoration. I'll attach a picture or two when I "develop" (upload) them. Any pleasant surprises in your life recently?

Hope it's an enjoyable day. When are you heading back home from Florida? It was 80 degrees F and sunny here today!

@TheHorse We postponed our leaving until tomorrow. June 5th or 6th. I’m glad you had a beautiful day, too. Ours was the same, maybe a tad warmer.

@DianneN Florida can be cool in Winter too. I remember a trip to Key West where we all had our jackets on.

Ah, and hopefully this little comment helps to add to it . No biggie, but we discovered the "new" lemon flavor Girl Scout cookies are much better than the previous lemon ones they've had - that was a nice surprise.

@TheHorse They go well on my taste buds . I'd say they go fine with any of those! But one must savor them - 5 bucks for a dinky box .

Do you get word-of-mouth business for your speaker restoration? No surprises here!

@LindaOHio Some were sent to me a few years ago. But packing and shipping is just too much work. Everything is local now.

@TheHorse So, do people send you their speakers or are they all local?

It really is. A part of me wants to try dressing up like a hobo and cleaning peoples' headlights for $20/pop. I want to see if I could pull it off, and also see how much I'd make in a day. No shame or pride here.

@porwest It's odd. If I really devoted myself to it, I think I could make more being a healdlight-cleaning bum than a Ph.D. developmental psychologist.

Got my salary today. Pleasant, but hardly a surprise. Not getting it would have been a quite nasty surprise. And we got sun yesterday! After the last days of rain, that was a surprise. Sun and an extremely high tide.

No big surprises, but last Friday the supermarket allowed us to pay with the points we got on our supermarket card. I bought home my food for a total of around 50$ and pay nothing in cash.

@TheHorse One store sends cash vouchers at home, this supermarkets allow you to "pay with points", that is the same thing than to give you cash.

@TheHorse They had heavy rains which put out one of the big ones. I think others might still be burning in the mountains. Haven't heard much about them lately.

I had a fun day with the kids and got called into work tomorrow. Nothing spectacular. I correct myself. One of my kids, a girl of 2 1/2, was reading the letters on my sweatshirt and correctly identifying them. I had no idea she knew her letters.

nothing big on my side. I used to live in Indy and did some work for the Klipsch guys on the north side. They had the coolest speakers.

What kind of work did you do? Klipsch speakers are incredibly "in the room," but they can be fatiguing over the long term.

Hmm. I will consider that. You've inspired me to do some work on the speakers. I glued in some missing veneer this morning before work and could sand it down now.
