Bob shares zero with the group. Couldn’t even tell you what car he drives, if at all. Maybe his driving privileges have been suspended.

So others make assumptions and determinations. Bob doesn’t like that but refuses to set the record straight.

I'll have to ax him when I see him later. I'm storing my antique Victrola over at his house and plan to retrieve it later today, now that my "Sitting Room" is finished.

LOL. Still have a ton of my dad's 78's from the '40's....Gene Krupa, Lionel Hampton, Freddie Slack, Stan Kenton, etc. Still sounds good.

About ten years ago was at an old car swap meet 120 miles south of me and a friend of a friend was there looking for parts for his Jordan Playboy. The guy was a real eccentric with a waxed moustache, etc. (this was way before the hipster movement....the guy was totally ragtime)

Anyway, he bent down to look at something, clutched his back, and told me :"I really screwed up my back unloading a Victrola from the trunk of my Studebaker!" I looked back at him and said "Nobody's said that sentence since WW2." He laughed and we went on to buy rusty old crap.

In its place. Looks like it needs a good cleaning, a coat of Formby's, and re-nickel the crank and its receiver.

I rebuilt the spring-motor back in the 90's, and it still works great.

Really I mad the mistake sharing and some took great joy in my loss. Now you want me to to defend myself from the disabled molesters stories. I really thought you were one of the more intelligent ones.

You’re really becoming a broken record with your act.

For the record, here is how GED Blob talks about his wife, along with my response, which is what he's trying to use as an excuse for his subsequent boorish behavior.

I posted none of that. I did not suggest that you defend yourself from anyone. If you don’t want to share and create content that’s ok. Not doing so will probably create continued suspicion.
And if my intelligence is measured by who I side with on an OT forum I’m screwed.

I assume GED Blob is bringing up his hilarious soup can theory again. Each of the ten Simpson joist hangers supporting my spa are rated at over 2000#. Nails are acceptable by this manufacturer; so are their special screws, which give this and similar assemblies a slightly higher capacity. The 2000# rating is "allowable load", meaning that the factor of safety is built into that number. The loaded spa weighs 6000#.

I'll let you do the math here. Don't forget to show your work. I reserve the right to embarass you further by showing you my calculations, later.

You should feel shame now, cheerleading for such a loser like GED Blob. But you don't, because you're just too much of a dumbass to understand just how badly that you've been owned.

I would not have done it like that but my perspective is one of aesthetics.

If you say so still looks like crap to me but as long as you're proud of your work.

And since you are bragging on your math skills maybe you should get baby doll to count for you. I see 8 hangers are the other two up your ass with your head?

Cool Victrola. Looks to be in great shape.

Why in the hell does anybody respond to, or quote, AF2, aka Big Bob? Ignore him, he adds absolutely nothing of value here. Nothing.
