Happiness is...

Been there, done that, a simple pleasure for sure!

Simple pleasures are the best 

Still looking for the high-pressure nozzle that launched off my pressure washer. Think maybe a crow found it.

Amazing, you got your once in a lifetime reprieve from Murphy.

@maprik did you happen to find the missing screw for my Allnic phono stage? Enjoy the music

Investing in a set of scores of mini drivers in a case and fixing everything for everyone.

A warm gun?

Hearing NOS RCA Blackplates in your McIntosh 240 for the first time. 

Happiness is being in the cockpit of your sailboat, many miles from nowhere in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, with engine problems, cleaning the carburater jets to your engine with carb-cleaner, lighting your hands on fire as you light a cigarette, reacting to fire by throwing the tiny little carburater jet a hundred feet into the air!

...And hearing the tiny little carburater jet land in the dinghy that is tied up 15 feet behind the sailboat! 😀

I am pretty sure if you were in the Gulf of America. It would’ve landed in the water.

@unclewilbur that's a winner of the month story for sure

Sounds like I am not the only one with a loose screw. (I feel better now).

It's been over a decade, and I still laugh at the extraordinary luck!!!  😂

There's nothing like drifting away at sea with engine problems, lightning yourself on fire, and feeling lucky about it all!!!! 🤣

Did you find the screw to my frontal lobe it's missing and I have no impulse inhibition.the frontal lobe gets to doing many interesting things when my screw is gone to hold it together.that should get the party going 🤔.

@unclewilbur Hahahaha!!!!! Ok that's a winner!!! 

This thread would be great if more people contributed their stories!

Hint hint! Come on people!

...installing the AKITIKA pre-amp into the third system and being rewarded with instant music, and no smoke...

or finding a Tascam 112 MK II in a thrift store  (I know..Cassettes?  Right?)

or finding a VG+ Whalefeathers in the used book store at the antique mall for literally a small fraction of its value. (All the records here are two bucks, the books as marked...)

Happiness is not mistaking a fart for the real thing during colonoscopy preparations!

Happiness is sheltering in Fort Jefferson during a category 3 hurricane, and being one step away from the blue plasma of a lightning strike that bolted out of the ceiling, and missed me by ten inches!
