Shop Tunes...

Cebby · 04-14-2006, 11:36 PM

I discovered that my stereo receiver that I'd been using in my shop quit last week (it was over 25 years old...), so I've been borrowing my wife's iPod.

That's been working OK until tonight.

Makita Grinder = 1
iPod Earphones = 0

Yes I know...I should know better.

hahahaah

Were you listening to classic rock? My theory is that's the mandatory shop music.

At the time, Morrissey was playing. She's got some screwball mix of everything.

Dude, seriously, thats an omen.

Its between Country and Classic rock on my radio in the garage... Its just that way, I guess...

Had the same thing happen to me...

Now I have no headphones. I was using the ones that are the huge earmuff kind. When they were ripped off my head at mach 5 I realized how close I came to certain death. They could have grabbed the back of my head and sucked it into the grinder!

btw it was a bench grinder with a wirewheel that snagged it.

It was the title theme from "The Craft" - "How soon is now".

Not the normal Morrissey fare...

Fortunately these were the freebie Altec Lansing ones that came with the speaker dock. They had a wire that goes over your ear to keep the earpieces from falling out. But, I'll need to pickup another set of the same flavor if I want to listen anymore since the regular iPod earbuds don't stay in my freakishly small ears.

I listen to modern rock and sports radio. No phones for me thanks. Way too many downfalls. Can't here if something happens, they get caught up in things, expensive to replace, etc.

I have an old Pioneer receiver hooked up to some 6x9 speakers mounted in plywood boxes. Sounds good and the cost was $0.

I'm guessing you have short hair. (be glad)

Short.....as in non-existant.

Power tools and loose clothing or chords do not mix. You should know better Cebby. Shame on you.

Quit being a cheap wad and go buy a new stereo receiver.
