Mikeallenlee,
You are certainly welcome to attend our DIY Event. A number of us will be fresh from the Van Isle Event held at Dave's place outside of Victoria. We all speak a somewhat acceptable version of English, that is commonly held to be understandable (if just barely!).
Hope to see you here!
Best Regards,
Terry

Now I am gonna have to go search to find out what BROGANS are. In any case it is great to get Canadians at our affairs. The border crossing thing can be a pain if you give the gate keepers much to get their imaginations going.
them'd be a sturdy work shoe -, and Terry - is a chesterfield like a divan?
this one I like "After 10 months (of research), no adverse effects...."
ah, the golden age of science

Is that Alfred E Neuman's not so innocent cousin? Who sells chesterfields, divans and HiFi consoles, but doesn't own a pair of brogans?
Is Josh's real name Brogan?

Chris, right about the Brogans. (had to look that one up myself)
But the Chesterfield differs from a divan, in that the arms and back are both full height. Our neighbors had one when I was a kid. They brought it from Alberta, where they had lived previously.
Oh, and mikealanlee, don't worry about putting your Brogans on the Chesterfield. Terry would be glad to give you the shirt off his back to clean up the couch.

I am working on my 3 way mini monitors. Short of being overwhelmed my other aspects of life, they should make it to the DIY meet. A project like this reminds me of why small commercial speakers are typically much simpler than my mine are.

DaveR - you've seen shirtless Terry? Cal and Scottie are more than our group can handle, so let's not encourage more
Howard - in case you weren't funnin' me on the identity of the personality in that ad, it was - "the old redhead" Arthur Godfrey, big time media personality and sort-of actor /entertainer mostly popular from in the 40-50's

Do they have Pirate Scars? If they don't, I'm still the Pirate Captain! 😀
HI Chris,
In addition to sticking my foot in my mouth at least occasionally, I am also lacking in some cultural literacy! Interesting for me though that not knowing the fame attached to the image, what I saw was less than flattering. Back in the day the cigarette was a symbol of sophistication I think. That has changed mostly.
Interesting, after reading a bit on Wikipedia about Godfrey, he was generally seen in a uplifting light, and well loved. He did give up cigarette smoking/advertising (about the same time as my mother did, who is alive now) when he got diagnosed with lung cancer.

It would be a long trip for me but I'd come if I didn't already have plans for that weekend. I fly for free and have been wanting to go back for a few days anyway. Seattle was my old haunt back in the 80s and I like to go back every 5 years or so just to see it. Bringing equipment would be a problem though.
I'm gathering parts for an Amity and I saw on another post that one would make an appearance there with an original builder.
Maybe next year when my kids are done with being driven to college...

Get ready for the countdown. 😛
Only 10 more days to get your projects up and running. August 26th is getting closer!

Deadline motivation
I seem to require a deadline to do anything. Time to push the table saw into the center of the garage and make some sawdust.

I'd enjoy hearing more about your Amity plans. I have a couple of IT coupled amps and one is very like an Amity in that it also has input transformers. Lynn's amps were my inspiration but of course I have to go off in my own bit of a direction.

Rushing back from LA in a couple of days to complete my speakers and water my garden! Much thanks to Darcie for for watering/eating my veges while I wandered. Hoping to make the Oregon eclipse scene on the 21st. Praying my AC holds out. Good luck to Rene' this weekend and to all our ambassadors who make it to Planet 10 DIYfest as well. TAKE PICTURES PLEASE.
