Another project done? / myLot

I ordered two woofers (bass drivers) from Parts Express a couple of weeks ago. They arrived last week, and I put them in my Snell K/II speakers over a couple of days. The foam surrounds on my original woofers had started to rot, as generally happens with foam woofer surrounds after a couple of decades. The new woofers look good and fit well into the enclosures. . They sound nice and clear. I will "break them in" for a few weeks before deciding whether I want to keep or sell the speakers. I am "downsizing," but still have several sets of speakers here. How are your current projects going?

Good job! I’m overwhelmed by all my gardens and from lack of time for almost everything!

My balcony garden looks OK. But it demands water almost every day.

My projects are not doing too well right now. I have two sewing projects I need to work on but since it's spring I keep working in the garden instead!

I am working on my"balcony garden" as well. These speakers are really good with small-scale stuff like classical guitar. I want to see if they can handle Beethoven symphonies and and Bach cantatas.

We need to actually get some stuff out of the house and into the garage for storage before Thursday. Pretty's old mattress that is still good is rolled up and ready to go out. Her old box springs need to go out, too, either to the garage for storage or into the trash. She wants to keep a bunch of cardboard boxes so those need to go out to the garage, too. Both bedrooms look good and the kitchen looks fine but the bathroom needs the floor mopped and the living room needs vacuumed before the representative from Freedom Care comes over Thursday morning for our yearly inspection. I am cooking pork loin for dinner tonight along with potatoes, carrots and green beans...

Progressing since I got awarded Top Story again at Vocal Media and with the additional $5 I got I could cash out a bit over $20 I would say a writing job well done, Best of luck with the speakers,

I have never won "Top Story" anywhere. But that does not stop me from writing.

That's good that the woofers fitted in well. You'll enjoy breaking them in while you decide what to do.
