I don't think I have ever seen one with two tone arms like that. Pretty sweet. You should have a different stylus for 78s than 33/45s and that's a pretty genius way to avoid switching it.

Yeah, that's good stuff Ronnie. How do you store/sort them?
I sort them alphabetically by artist, then earliest release to most recent.

I use the IKEA Kallax bookshelves which are 1’ cubes and perfect for record storage.

Last weekend my MIL cleaned out a crawlspace under her steps and found a small box filled with probably 70 or so 45s. Some were hers, but others were her mom and dad's, so my wife's grandparents. Basically stuff from the 50s and 60s. Bobby Darin, the Supremes, Pat Boone, Johnny Cash, the Big Bopper...

If you ever want a taste of Pennsyltuckey come to a demolition derby in New Alexandria
Too metropolitan, you need to go to the one at the Clinton County fair.

Are the Giants in town while you're there? That ballpark is a pretty nice place to watch a game. I'd agree with all that's been said here about Alcatraz, the Wharf, etc. I drove the Lombard twist and I thought it was a blast. What tripped me out was the long climb up the steep hills by the Coit Tow...

The whole SiriusXM billing model is nuts. So one vehicle plus streaming costs $370 a year but if you call and even casually mention the word "cancel" it drops to $107. No argument, no bickering, nothing. I suppose it's because so many people just pay full price that it's no skin off their nose to gi...

We get all our plants at Petitti in Youngstown. They are pricy but high quality. They appear to carry ferns. Not that near the city I know.

So the cost of this is probably sub $1000 I am guessing? $500 for the airfare, $100 to get to the park and back, $100 for the park ticket, $200 for meals if they go all out, $100 for random other stuff? Not a trip my wife would do but seems fairly harmless. Seems like a lot of effort for a day at EP...

It’s engrained, too. I felt bad for taking the day off today with my dog passing. My boss and every one of my employees and colleagues said, do not worry about work today.

But I’m here worried about work. It is a culture problem.
