remembering my late father on this day....
when he noticed that i was not wearing the wristwatch he gave me,
i told him it was broken and i did not want one anymore,
he told me anyone not mindful of the time is a lazy one, and he gave me a new watch......
i never won any arguments with him as a young man.....
but i guess that getting to be his age today makes me realize the wisdom behind those,
i just hope that i can be as good a father to my kids that he was to me...

Happy Fathers' day to all......

Original to Master Tony? Great Memories

I could still remember my brother had this during the 70's & when his not around I would solder some tips of the speaker wire w/ the soldering lead to make it tough then also to some unuseful projects like a dozen red tiny bulbs (dont know if those were LED during that era) housed it in a tiny hard plastic box use to cover telephone connections then walah I have a level indicator or disco lights whatever you call it  ;D (connected between the stereo & speaker), when the Bass beats the red lights lit up.

& sometimes I use it as a flashlight when looking for something in the cabinet  ;D
