Living in apt, I can't run much... I have some 10+ yr old polks for everything.

Wish we lived close by. I have a pair of Electro Voice EV series D, AR tower and AR bookshelf speakers from the 80s that need refurbishing.

Those are Infinity RS2.5 from the middle ‘80’s the tall ones are Infinity QUantum Line Sourse 1 (QLS1) from the late ‘70’s.

They are not hard to fix. The foam surrounds that support the cone are the problem of most old speakers. Time causes the foam to rot. They can be found at many online shops and eBay. The process is not hard and there are many YouTube videos of “reforming” speakers.
There are also a few other things that can go wrong but the surrounds are the most common.

Can't wait to fish this season. I have a row boat on one of the New York City reservoirs (no motors of any kind allowed). Regulations state that you have to keep your boat at the reservoir, chained to a tree. Last year we had a series of tornadoes hit in the spring and my boat area got leveled. By some miracle, my boat survived. Many boats were crushed and under huge trees that were uprooted.

Unfortunately while my boat survived, gaining access to it was nearly impossible. The path was blocked by downed trees and the only way to my boat was over many of them and through huge patches of pricker bushes and poison ivy.....while carrying 2 oars, fishing poles, tackle boxes, etc. Needless to say I didn't get out much at all. The agency responsible for maintaining the boat areas was overrun with work. There are at least a dozen reservoirs in the area, each with 10-12 boat areas. As of October of last year they still hadn't got to mine. So I am jonesing for some bass fishing. Up here in the northeast a 5 pound largemouth is something to be proud of. 6 lbs would be a once in a lifetime fish. My largest was just shy of 5lbs that I got two summer ago:

Most of my catches are in the 3 to 4 pound range. I really enjoy the peace and quiet that comes with fishing. And the scenery. There are several bald eagles that nest on the reservoir and they are always a sight to see. What could be more relaxing than this?

I love anything outdoors weather it’s wading a creek catching fish to being in the woods hunting. My favorite is Turkey Hunting for sure. Hearing a ol’ gobbler firing off on the Roost is just awesome..... Last year I completed a bucket list item when I finished what’s called a grand slam.... That’s 4 different species of wild turkeys. It started in Florida by getting the Osceola… Then going the next year to Nebraska to get the Meriam … Then it was to Texas for the Rio . And the Eastern from Kansas .

One more thing I like to do is woodworking.... When I got caught up hunting turkeys I wanted to use a call that I made.... Here are a few examples of my calls I build....

I have turkeys all over my property. They are fun to watch. I am not a hunter but I have no problem with it as long as you use what you kill ?I have tons of friends that hunt.

Very nice! Last hunted in the early 80's. Was hunting in Texas hill country for deer. My brother and cousin came back to camp after a evening hunt with wild turkey. We cooked it in a cast iron pot on top the grill of our mesquite camp fire. Potatoes, vegetables and seasoning. The best tasting wild game I ever had. So tender it fell off the bone.

Ed if you get over run and need to get rid of a legal limit..... I'm your guy! Lol
For those that never hunted a wild turkey it's a rush better than any drug made. In nature the Male (Gobbler) will gobble and the Females (Hens) go to him.... It's really a challenge to get that gobbler away from those hens....You have to convince that gobbler that you are the hottest thing in the woods and ready for love. Then sweet talk him into gun range..... Then you fill his face full of TSS shot... Booyah! What we don't consume right away....We do a beast fest once a year in October with friends... Clears out the freezer and makes room for the next season's bounty...

Thats a big part of the sport for me..... Good friends sharing a good time, doing something they really enjoy. Camp food cooked in cast iron is the best and so are the stories told ......Many of Memories made for sure! Speaking of cast iron cookware..... That's another hobby of mine.... I really like to take a old crusty/rusty pan and bring it back to life. I've restored right at 100 pieces of old vintage Iron.... Some going back to the civil war era.
