Happy Birthday! :prettyprincess:

Have a great one Purk! Cheers!

You were wishing you had some whisky choices matching your advanced age, so here are some to dream about [and may find in Mikey's garage the next time you are out this way]. One from your birth year, and one that was matured as long as you have been Nom Nom Nom. Have a great one and go find some old whisky! Cheers!

Happy birthday and happy shooting to brother in Nikon, Ari! May the world deliver you the opportunity for an amazing shot tonight!

Remember when the first car that drove by would stop to help, if you were broke down? On my way home from work yesterday, I saw an elderly woman standing by her car on the side of the road. I almost drove right past, but something said stop. Upon asking, it seemed she had a flat tire. She didn't exactly seem thrilled that I had stopped, not at first anyway. But once I offered to change the tire for her, she seemed to warm. Turns out her spare was also flat. So I suggested we take both to a near by tire shop. Once there the fix was easy, inexpensive and quick. On the way back she admitted to me that at first she wondered if I was up to no good, and had been wary of my …

Hey Everyone, I just wanted to thank this community. Head-case has been an incredible wealth of knowledge for me, having guided my foray into high fidelity audio. I joined Head-case in 2008, soon after discovering that head-fi was overwhelming and nearly impossible to garner useful information from. I then spent the next couple of years lurking and reading, eventually leading to several (blind, but somewhat informed) purchases. I've been enjoying music through the same set-up for the past 4 years or so. I haven't been here in a while, but I decided that it was about time to offer my gratitude to the community that built my headphone system - quite literally, as my hea…

Interesting piece of history - how they transported the A-12 to Area 51. (the A-12 aircraft was the precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird) http://www.roadrunnersinternationale.com/transporting_the_a-12.html

So sad ... The brother truly brought it to Woodstock. RIP, Richie. http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=rynxqdNMry4&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DrynxqdNMry4

Apparently 2 bombs have exploded near the finish line, 12+ bystanders injured (including loss of limbs)..... Holy crap.....

Always liked watching NFL games with him and John Madden doing the play by play. Much preferable to Cosell, Meredith, etc., at least for me. Not mentioned in a couple of articles was his announcing of the Masters golf tournament for 20+ years, always (IIRC) with Ken Venturi. RIP...

Tyler, Mike and Zach: Belated happy birthdays to each of you, and I hope they were good days indeed! Cheers!

Can't believe I didn't notice it earlier. Happy Birthday Doug, wishing a great day, and a great year wherever you land!

Happy Birthday Doug! Hope you're having a great day!

I can't wait to see what Steve comes up with as a reply. Hope it's an amazing day, old man. **BRENT**

Just noticed this....in before midnight! Happy Birthday, Wikiphonia-Man! Hope it is/was a great day!

Have a good one!

So I signed up for the 2013 Tour de Cure in Orlando on March 17, 2013 and joined my local shop's team - Winter Park Cycles. Most of you guys know I love cycling and I'm a sucker for these rides/bike fests. More importantly, the Tour de Cure is a ride that benefits the American Diabetes Association.This cause is near and dear to my heart as my cousin and close friend, Angelo is a Type 1 Diabetic and I am riding for him. We grew up together and we are very close even though he's back home in the Philippines and I'm here in the USA. Anyway, I am posting here to shamelessly ask for donations. No amount is too small and every dollar matters Please click on this link…

Sorry it's past midnight where you are, but hope you had a very happy birthday!
