Oldhvymec???


Just noticed I haven't seen him post in a while.  Maybe that last McIntosh thread put him over the edge?  Or maybe his chickens got him?  Or, maybe I'm missing something?

@helmholtzsoul ...+1 for the insight...it puts ohm in perspective, and more or less confirms my mental imagery of the 'pebkac' hisself. *L* ;)

I had an employer back in the Bay Area in '80s' that, sans the overalls and CAT callings shared some personality traits.

Cruised into a room with the weight of dwarf star alloy, but a soft center that was wonderful to experience.
Out of my league, but more fun than some.  That counts imho.

I never post here and I been reading his "STUFF" for many years. I met him at a CES show. He had his coveralls on. CAT mechanic. He was walking around with a half a gallon of Gatorade, eating stress tabs. He pealed his coverall off and was soaking wet. I had to help him.. His arms were as big as my legs.. He said he was 58 years old. This was 9-10 years ago. You could see he was a mechanic all right. 

I'm a mechanic not that kind.. He had two other guys with him. They said he was trying to work them to death.. He said "only 1/2 way to death, he needed them for one more day, he'd finish the job tomorrow". I couldn't stop laughing.. I think he was serious. I don't know if he was talking about the job, or the guys. They were in their 20s.

I send him mail every now and then.. He's a BIG Mac guy, vintage. I like Mcintosh too. I wish I had just a few of his pieces. 

He'll wind up in Poland or Germany. You watch he's good at fixing that "STUFF" as he says.. Tanks with holes no problem.. 

Last time I saw him he had a tube in his chest. Tough old bird. Loves animals, too he had a little dog with him..  Funny, big old guy with this little dog. Terrier or something..

Perhaps a reference to the art work of Magnus Muhr ?  Nah  far too cerebral methinks

 

Yah, I used to work with an old machinist who had the same kind of humor. It was great. Always made me think. "You want that square with the room or square with the world?"

kennyc I stay in recovery.. LOL You should have seen me tipping up those 350 pounders. I should have put on a dipper. Mercy.. 

Back to the goodies. New toys abound. I need a warehouse. Retirement is too fun..

*sotto voce*  ...he's down to one finger, and we already know which one took precedence....'obviously', reality or no....🤨

*talk 'Normal"....

*sigh*  Well, so much for another potential 'wake' to get baked @.....*damn*

And thanks for putting the demise theorists' minds out of gear...too much going on, anyway....👌

I’m glad it was a false alarm.  @Oldhvymec is a true audiophile who generously shares his knowledge in helping others.  If stars were given out, his would be gold.

Wishing him a quick recovery 

 

I can count on you to be the party pooper that’s for sure.. I thought the OP asked what happened to OHM? You know something? Don’t feel left, I’ll pay attention to ya. I've met a few people that irritating others really gave them pleasure. Just goes to show. It takes all kinds. Swat splat....

5 repairs down, just 11 to go. Middle finger works pretty good.. :-)

And before you say it.. "Aw Bless".

Your right he's a smart bunny, he's no "Dumb Bunny" :-)

I see my cousin Red only left one message. LOL He is kind of shy. 

I had one of my hands put back together. 3 pins put in. One got infected of course.

The one in my wrist. Looked like a basketball. All fixed now.. That hurt..

My cousins speakers sure sound good though.. RM40s I added sound coat, 40 lb of bracing a 60lb base. 350lb each. . I think I'm going to buy or make another pair..

Picked up a pair of MC30s and a LM3886 dual mono/balanced. The MC30 look almost new. :-) 15 years since, sense, I had a pair, pear!! :-)

I been working on a new stand mount speaker baffle. First for me. Neo 10 planar & AC G3.

Free hand router work. Stupid pins kept hitting everything.. 

Time to feed the chickens..

Regards.

I figured ohm just took a break from the nonsense or he found his tractor-riding farmgirl ... 😄👍

I have to thank the admin staff for the fine job they're doing in keeping the polluters off their forums lately.  THANK YOU MODERATORS!!!

@ohm2scuz , when you mentioned ohm had taped his hands, 1st thought was his chickens had finally molted, revolted, and took him down for the entire bag of ChickChow....

"....damn fowl pecked my pinkies until I dropped the f'n bag..... Btw, anybody want a gallon or two of chicken broth?  Took all the meaty bits to the bbq for a personal fund raiser for the Next Big Thing..."

...just channeling the ohms' laws....;)

I read a lot here, and seldom post............. I've always enjoyed Old Heavy's posts........ Glad he's OK, and looking for more from him........

Thanks for the update.Your cousin has been cracking me up for a few years now.

Tell him to stop in and say hello. That is when he’s done feeding the chickens.

Thanks ohm2scuz! Great to know it's not a medical issue. Hope he gets the log on situation straightened out. To me, it's the variety of characters and opinions that make this forum interesting.

@ohm2scuz Glad to hear "Scotty" is ok! Miss his posts. Really appreciate how he helped me numerous times via DM.

Thanks for the update.  He is quite a character around here and the forum is certainly better off with him!

What's fun about oldhvy is he hides just how intelligent he is behind deliberately misspelled words. He can be quite articulate when he wants to be.

Yeah, right. 😀

I was fear these new digital jitter guy team up and run him out.
