  1. and if those speakers will work, can I plug them into this receiver and be ok? https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-2-0-ch-stereo-receiver-with-bluetooth-black/6187501.p?skuId=6187501 I would like to be able to say "Hey Alexa (to my Alexa), connect to my Iphone and play Nickel Back" and then the sweet tunes come flowing out my ceiling. Doable?
  2. So I checked out my ceiling-mounted speakers. Here is what I found. Phase Technology CI-40 They are all over my house. Two in living room, two in master bath, two In master bedroom, two in office, two in dining room, two on patio. I would really want to connect only the ones in the living room. I have located the wires behind a face plate by the fireplace. Can I just buy a receiver as Buzzrock mentions above and plug these in? What about the circuitry on the backs of the speakers?
  3. thanks CS. That looks awesome but not sure I want to spend that much. Just wanting something to put in the kitchen for wife and I to listen to while making dinner/eating said dinner. What about this? https://www.crutchfield.com/p_714R41PM/Klipsch-Reference-R-41PM.html?tp=72535
  4. Anyone seeing a good black friday deal on a 2.0 system, self-powered (no separate amp). Just want two speakers with good sound to listen to music. No home theater. Must be able to connect to Bluetooth.
  5. Albertsons bought United a couple of years ago. HEB and United had a turf agreement in Lubbock I suspect. When United sold out, then HEB decided to go to the mattresses with the now Albertsons "United." I went into the new HEB Sunday morning. Was a madhouse.
  6. This recipe might seem odd, but it makes excellent biscuits. 2 cups Bisquick 1⁄2 cup sour cream 1⁄2 cup 7-Up or Sprite 1⁄4 cup melted butter Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the sour cream into your biscuit mix. Stir in 1/2 cup 7 Up. The dough will be very soft, don't worry. Sprinkle additional baking mix on to your counter, about a 1/2 cup seems to work just fine. Knead and fold dough until coated with your baking mix. Pat dough out, (no rolling pin needed) and cut biscuits using a round biscuit/cookie cutter/glass Melt butter in a 9 inch iron skillet or square pan. I stick my pan and butter in the oven for a few minutes. Just a few though, the butter will burn, so watch it. Place cut biscuits on top of melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes or until brown.
  7. I was thinking the same thing. That Tennessee team had horseshoes up its ass.
  8. Flat surface parking is available if I recall. But I could be wrong; I would call before rolling up in a Free Candy mobile.

  10. Tuscany Suites is great. Short walk/Uber back to the strip. Huge rooms, nice smallish casino, cool craft beer bar. I stayed there a few years ago at the rec of some surly member and was impressed.
  11. Treasures. Bof of dem

  13. Shock. When it wears off, reality sets in.
  14. If you have no other options, the Old El Paso green sauce is better than the red IMO. It makes pretty decent chicken enchiladas. In fact, the recipe on the can is whack (calls for cream cheese), but shit is pretty good yo. Made the Homesick Texan recipe posted above a few weeks ago. It was very, very good.
  15. Hurts pretty fucking bad right now
  16. Any undecided voter that turned on this shit show to help them make a decision turned the channel within 5 minutes of it starting. Trumpers think Trump has won on every issue; those that were already going to vote Democrat think Joe has held his own. All these things do is embarrass our nation.
  17. Fewer... Hot afternoon here in Lubbock. Will be watching by the pool on the south side.
  18. Some great ones already mentioned. A Perfect World (Costner/Eastwood) My Life (Keaton) Big Fish (Time Burton movie) The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down a Mountain
  19. 1987 Texas A&I Javelinas v. Angelo State Rams. ASU won Big Time: Rice v. Horns. 1991
  20. I did finasteride and rogaine together for a while after using only rogaine for years. About 6 months into using both, I actually started growing back in some hair I had lost. Doctor told me that almost everyone would hold their own using both and that about half would see some new growth. I then asked him why he had a huge bald spot. He said "I would never use finasteride; that shit has a small chance of making your dick stop working and any damage is irreversible. Here are some citations for peer-reviewed articles." I went home and read the articles--then threw the finasteride in the trash. Still use rogaine (actually the Kirkland brand) twice daily and it is no trouble. I wish I could have stayed on both treatments and I feel I am only slowing the inevitable now, but I can't bring myself to shave it all off because 1). I have a hot young wife; 2). I have three places on my head where I had to get stitched back up and I suspect I will look like Frankenstein if I go hairless. But seriously, read up on the finasteride. The risk is small--but it scared me.
  21. If it weren’t for football, we would never turn our TV on. Instead we play music nightly. Right now I am connecting to either a portable Bluetooth speaker or through an Alexa and then playing Spotify. Tired of the crappy mono sound and want to get a solid setup. The room for the install is pretty big and is a combined kitchen/living room open space. I can place speakers on top of kitchen cabinets or the like. Portability is not important. I will hook it all up and then leave it be. Will just need to Bluetooth in or I guess I could go with some Aux cord setup if needed. Have looked at a receiver system where I buy it and speakers. Have also looked at some all-in-ones like some Bose deals or sound bar type devices. I also have some built in speakers in the ceiling throughout the house and out by the pool but I know nothing about them. They are in the ceiling. Look like 6x9s. No idea on quality. My budget is about $500 but I could be talked into more if necessary. It’s really our main entertainment, and I would like a better option than what I am working with now. Anyone have some recs or can point me in a good direction? Thanks in advance.
  22. Has anyone said anything about rental car companies tethering together with titanium wire two sets of keys to the rental car? I want two separate keys in case I misplace one; and I don't want them attached in a big wad that I can't fit in my pocket. I get why they do it. But I would rather they just lock the second key up and not make it available to me.
  23. All lies. No Pliney. But the Squatters Juicy IPA was pretty good. And also the Doc Chilton sour beer
