Wheee! I sold some speakers!

One of my "projects," a pair of AR-4x loudspeakers, has sat in front of my room "looking pretty" since I restored them a year or so ago. A couple of days ago, a fella responded to my Cragslist listing and bought them for $140. They were a street corner rescue, given to me by someone I did some restoration work for years ago, so I gave the guy a good deal. He seemed happy. Now I have a little extra room for incoming projects. Whee! I'll attach a photo of the front of my listening room a few years ago. I have fewer pairs of speakers up there now, I think.

I'm glad you sold a pair of speakers. I'm glad you have room for more now.

@just4him It's Monday and I don't think Burl Jam is practicing today. Mike is in New Orleans with his daughter. I may try and do some decluttering.

It's always good to sell something and clear up a little space.

@TheHorse Trust me, I completely understand how that feels. Even with the new boxes of formula, our house looks a little less like a storage locker.

And extra space. I'd actually do what I do for free if I knew it were contributing to some kind of "good music, good equipment" thing. Can you tell I was once an idealist?

@JudyEv But I am also a realist. See my recent post about Trayvon Martin and Trump. I was NOT being funny. I understand how conservatives can be frustrated here in the US. I would consider voting for a Mitt Romney. But not a Donald Trump. I can "save the world for poor people" and still have some conservative views.

@TheHorse I have picked up on the 'idealist' bit from time to time.

You too. Are you doing your exercises so you can jump up into that pick-up truck? I will take some video when you're ready. I think the video will help your campaign with Southern white voters.

Thank you. I am glad as well. Maybe I will deposit the money in the bank before any muggers come around.
