For those west coast of Florida porchers, Geordi and I are entered in the Brooksville dog show January 23 and 24. Exit 301 on I75 - I can post further directions when I know our ring times... Would be a hoot to have a cheering section! LOL! From what I know of the judges both days, they don't necessarily like puppies, but we need ring time for training. It's an outdoor show, so hopefully the weather will cooperate. It's usually a decent sized show, so if ya like dogs, you might enjoy it. I will be working the booth (Gear to Go, set up near the entrance to the food court) but gotta get some ring time with the little (not so little anymore) Squirt. More details to come.

Might even have some semblance of fur lined handcuffs :p;)
Weather is supposed to be great but, kind of hot. 80s at the end of December. Whoda thunk it?! :evil:

Y'all have convinced me to save my LPs as .wav files instead of .mp3. I didn't want to use that much storage space but like Willie said, storage is cheap. The other reason was that the .wav files are too big for most (all?) email servers, whereas individual selections with .mp3 could be sent by email.

Anyhoo, @umanbean, I'll be happy to send you the LPs when I've finished converting them. I estimate there are about 150 LPs, and I'm a procrastinator who doesn't get things done quickly. (Remind me to get on the stick if I don't have it done in 10 years.) Plus, the conversion software is bit of a PITA and it's not just a matter of playing and saving. I'm hoping I can find a way to use different software but don't know if that's possible with this machine. I think, though, that LPs properly qualify as Media Mail. If so, that would be the economical way to go.

Can't buy them anymore either. :mad:
What can't you buy any more? 3-way 50W-100W-150W incandescent bulbs are readily available for purchase. My apology if I misunderstood what you were saying.

Exactly. The top number is the supposed equivalent and the bottom number is the actual draw. In order to compare apples to apples you need to compare the lumens output. Right now in the replacement LED bulb world it appears that 40 and 60 watt equivalent bulbs are easy to find. 75 and 100 watt equivalents not so much. Also 40 and 60 equivalents are relatively cheap with prices seeming to fall daily but, the larger wattage bulbs are still a little bit rare. As wattage goes up so does price because higher wattage LED are more expensive to produce and require bigger heat sinks (disappation} thus raising the manufacturing costs somewhat. Of course not as much as the difference in price would lead you to believe. Also you need to pay attention to the color temperature. This is rated in degrees Kelvin. Just remember the lower the number more "warm" or yellow and the higher the number more "cool" or blue the bulb is. Right now the " warm white" bulbs are closer to the old incandescent bulbs while the "cool white" bulbs resemble the light produced by fluorescent tunes. Sorry to ramble on about them but, it can be confusing and all bulbs are heading towards LED. Sooner than later that's all you'll be able to buy. Fluorescent or "CFL" bulbs aren't as environmentally friendly as they contain small amounts of mercury. Ok, class dismissed. :)

Night all, back to the sack. ;) Class dismissed! :lol:

:blink:....How in Hades did I end up in this class ? :eek: the counselor assured me I was signed up for Hugs and Kisses 101.....;)

What kind of dog do you have? Do you come to the dog show in Houston? I don't show dogs, but I do go to the show here. My rescue group has a booth at the Houston dog show.

Shows are not until January. Hopefully it will cool off by then!

I have Belgian Tervuren. Tasha (9 years in Feb) is my avatar. Geordi is my now 9 month old puppy. My husband does the Houston shows. I don't like to take the dogs on the Texas circuit (Ok City, Dallas, San Antonio then Houston) because most of the show sites are all asphalt, no grass for potty breaks. That asphalt gets to hot in a Texas summer. The one year I did go I was carrying my 60+ lb Spock (RIP my love) to find a spot that had been in the shade long enough so it wouldn't burn his feet. Geordi is going to easily be as big, if not bigger, than Spock was. I stay in Florida and do more local shows.

Oh i dont blame you one bit. You are very right about all the concrete. At reliant is not the best place to have a show. The building is nice, but there really is no place to take the dogs. Well good luck with the shows. I hope they do well.
