I forgot if I told this story in here yet or not, but on Friday when I was walking into work from the parking lot about a block away a guy walking the other direction stops in front of me, looks behind me, and looks quizzically at me and asks if the food market is over there in the parking lot this morning.

me: No, i didn't see one.

him: hmm, is this Saturday?

Me: um, no, it's Friday.

him: Well why was I thinking it was Saturday?

me (thinking): because you're crazy? Out loud: I don't know, but I wish it were because I wouldn't be coming into work right now.

Then he started walking back in the direction he came, which of course was my way to work. So we had to have small talk about the weather. I think he lives in this apartment building across the street from my work that houses mostly elderly and handicapped (both physically and mentally, but not necessarily in the same person). He didn't seem too crazy other than the wrong day bit, but surely he had to realize it couldn't be Saturday when he walked past my office building and saw all the people walking in and general traffic.

first I am going to make breakfast.

Cream cheese, tarragon omelets, a blackberry banana smoothie, and some toasted ciabatta with blood orange marmalade.

Dinner is on the smoker, but I still have to roast the green chile's and stew the pinto's so I can fry them.

Ok where the hell did you find blood orange marmalade????

I love those damn things!!!!!

It's very easy to be a salesman when you truly believe what you are offering is the best.

but selling ISN'T about talking it is about listening. What you should say is that solution based selling is easy when you know what you are doing.

Most of the time they don't know what they need. Sell them what they need not what they want.

Man there are some crazies on the internet. After four emails this girl says we will be so happy together, her whole heart is just for me, she yearns to be with me every day and thinks about me constantly, etc. I've told her like 4 things about me. Now she wants me to pick her up from the airport (she lives in same town as me but is on a trip. Supposedly). Hmm, pass. Psycho. Hopefully she doesn't burn my house down with me in it when I tell her it's not working out.

At least she says she wants to fulfill my every emotional, mental, and sexual need. Maybe I can meet her at a hotel and then ditch.

Actually basic I can find. Here is my screen so far. I am troubleshooting why the album art didn't load, but it isn't my top priority, functionality is.

Along the top bar you see the current weather icon, the satellite icon, the whole house lighting, picture slide show, the notes start the music player, the Seas Excel currently is the logo for the living room stereo and the kevlar cone for the whole house.

At the bottom you see the ugly play buttons and the lack of mute.

The verbage on the sides is fine as that only shows up in the jukebox mode letting the operator pick music.

The Seas pic was from their website and I was having some difficulty making the background transparent which is why there is some white around it. I know I can fix it, but the logo isn't obvious for people who don't know me and I'd like the system to be idiot proof.

*By next year there will be icons for video, cctv, home security, controlling my grill, and my sprinkler system so the space on the top I need.

I could if you want. It is a rather small jar and like $7 (IIRC) but not that big of a deal.

Which you can only do by listening. I NEVER said to ask them what they want. The real focus has to be to find out what they need, but you also need to expect that they won't tell you so you need to ask open questions that lead somewhere to find this out BEFORE proposing a solution.

And that screen is what is causing me to not care about car audio....that and the fact that I don't really drive anywhere except the airport.

I agree with Sean. Go get her.

At least keep the crazy girl on the side. May be nuts but sounds really fun to play with.

I need to make some boxes and install my mael x's.

I somehow... No idea how... Got the W to agree for me to put my 18" q in the living room.

I think I'll body fill then piano gloss the box for it and make it an end table. No reason I couldn't have a Q down firing is there?

PM me your paypal bro.

And I really like the screen design. Its 'basic' and yet complex at once.

You really find ways to keep things on the cutting edge of technology.

:woot:

Finally got them. A bit obvious they are not made for the ff85k but for 1/3 of the fostex price I can live with them.

what size and where did u get them? i need some for my 3" peerless mids.

3 inch, should fit most 3 inch speakers with stamped frame.

Visaton 1138 is the model, lots of hits in google :P

Might be cheaper for you to buy some model from the US. Fostex has a 3 inch grill on madisound.

If I read about one more idiot that listens to mostly chopped and screwed I might go ballistic. Uhh, I uhh, own three albums but I want to spend $4k on subs. Fuckin' retards.

Same thing as listening to sine waves. I used to find some enjoyment to listening to bass-heavy rap / hip-hop music. But now it gets old after 30 seconds.

Plus she wants to fulfill every sexual need you have. Oral highway is a pre-requisite for the ride. If not, gtfo.
