You put a ceiling fan in a corner? No wonder it doesn’t work.

Funny man.

[Vision]

Great DDay audio...can't remember if I heard this before...

[WXRGina]

Oh, okay! That sounds almost like a dry brine (if there IS such a thing). We keep the boxes of coarse Kosher salt, so we do have that handy. I load up my water to boil eggs with that salt—a LOT of it—and it makes the eggs easy to peel.

[Calvin Locke]

I feel for you. My parents had me install them in their bedrooms. Beds in the way of the ladder, kicking off the shoes to half-stand on the mattresses, etc.

Hope you marked the blades if you took them off.

[Vision]

Yea, kinda like a dry bring, close to a cure IMO. When I rinsed off the pork loin the texture was cured. Just reheated it for dinner, so good!

[Vision]

Meh, 20th Century played this GS Thursday night...

[WXRGina]

I’ll have to try that on our steaks next time. Thanks, Vision!

[WXRGina]

In real life, I'm Pajama Boy. Stop triggering me or I'll have to run to my safe space.

And don't make fun of my pajamas.

I don't believe you. Your comments are not legitimate without photographic evidence to prove them!

[Viking2002]

Nowadays they're self aligning with shims and counterweights, so it's a lot easier. The motor floats inside the main housing. I use heat-shrinkable tuning for the electrical connections. It's more tedious than challenging.

Yeah, without pictures it could be just another blogger making up sh@t

Murray is doing a good job. As a radio jock I can tell he is reading what he’s scripted, but I don’t blame him a bit. I would do the same thing, if I were doing this show. He has a good radio voice. I only hope he’ll try to keep the “political correctness” crap to a minimum. We don’t need—or want—stupid disclaimers every time a radio show portrays Indians or Chinese or Mexicans or whatever. We’re American grown-ups here, not “safe space” millenials.

[Vision]

I disagree about his voice, he can work on it, but he's doing good other than he should have introduced himself, but it's nice he's not making it about him.

[WXRGina]

He did introduce himself when he signed on, Vision. His voice is MILES better than Rob’s, who has the terrible speech impediment.

I’m saying what I am about Murray, because I know his producer girl is watching our threads, and I want to be nice and encourage him to do right by Ed, the Big Broadcast and the United States, in general.

[Vision]

He introduced himself but was unceremonious about it, and it’s a big deal...

[Vision]

Jack Benny “never put anybody down?” That's ridiculous.

[Vision]

Night Gina

[WXRGina]

His voice is good, but it only sounds like he’s reading, which has a stiffness in its presentation. That’s all he needs to work on, not sounding stiff. Rob’s speech was hard to listen to, and I know you said you couldn’t hear his strange lisp, but it was glaring to us. If Murray will be more natural in his delivery—even if he’s reading his script—he’ll be fine. He has a good radio voice—I know a good radio voice. He voice sounds young, but that’s just the way it is.

Good night, Vision! See you next time, Lord willing.

“All My Sons”. What an awful story.

[Vision]

I fell asleep 40 minutes in, might go back to finish it off. A fairly basic story of two people trying to fall in love while dealing with their inferiority complexes?
