What A Drag It Is Getting Old


The other day, I was listening to some CDs and then decided to put on a record. I turned the selector knob on my Audio Note OTO to “phono”, which is to the left of “cd” and no sound. I thought maybe it was a dirty contact, so I turned the selector back to cd and then to “aux” in hopes of cleaning the switch. Lo and behold- the record played on “aux”!  Impossible. An aux input doesn’t have enough gain for a phono cartridge, but there it was. I called my dealer and he said to bring it in on Monday. OK. Later that day I decided to try again and I realized something. The selector on the OTO is on the bottom of the knob, so turning the knob to the left towards “phono” is actually moving the indicator on the bottom to the right towards “aux”.  Turning the knob to the right towards “aux” moves the selector on the bottom to the left to “phono”.  I’ve owned this amp for 2 years and I just forgot. As I said- WHAT A DRAG IT IS GETTING OLD.

@mapman- funny. For a while, I was getting these direct mail solicitations about "buying" cremation services in advance--offering a discount. I was tempted to call them and ask if there was a special price if I just walked in and they did me. 

 

FYI there is no meds that improves memory!! Prevagen et al has properties that helps attention but not memory. Obviously if you don’t or can’t pay attention then recall will be limited. That being said paying attention to your favorite music or new music will definitely help your attention span and therefore your recall for that particular music. So rather than focusing on memory and aging, consult with an audiologist! Just saying

Isnt that the truth.  My father was an engineer and  he always outsmarted me when I did something wrong. No matter how hard I tried I could never beat him in chess, unless he let me win!!   

@whart ....'Walk-In Cremation'....now. That's funny.  I can see the vid-ads already...

" Have that last toast, and come on in for the Roast!"
Precisely why I've asked to be dissolved. (Yes, it's real...but you have to remember to go look for it....;)  )
No headstone for a dog to lift leg apon.... +
No dead flowers...only a gesture not appreciable by the recipient....
Told spouse in a short while I'd be everywhere if dumped into the French Broad, or even the Swannanoa....in vengeance....  It blew it's chance.
She could go out in a good downpour and vent 'one more time'...
 @mapman ...."Hot bodies" still fall into 'fun to look and appreciate' but one learns not to drool or get grabby....spouse would incinerate you in some disturbing means on the spot.  Still pleasant when one's existence is responded to.... ;)

The Next Plane, Out ?  Try this, from the new 'kids' in town....😏

I rarely remember my dreams.

When I do, I tend to sit up on wake and go 'wha....."
