Isle Flottante with Caramel and Dark Chocolate Pecan Cookie. How can you turn this down when your daughter makes it for you? Even though you know you should.

I say a lodda tings. Turned out OK.

Topping station. Little too much peripheral char. Am ded gluten kil RIP.

That was from the sous vide tomahawk ribeye. (Sorry Greg.) Luckily I have some leftovers to tide me over for tonight's dinner, which we let the kids cater. Carbpocalypse. But they did make it all from scratch themselves -- dough, sauce, custard, frosting etc. -- which is character building I think.

Mastering room in Utrecht, The Netherlands.

I’m presently enjoying the Schwanensee from Wiener Staatsoper through “SRM-600 Limited Modified” and I like the sound. Drove 400 km from our summer cottage to apartment and back today to assemble the CCS board. Here is picture of the Limited surrounded by a couple of nice electrostatics.

This year marks a return to form (hopefully) and therefore I'm prepping to ride the full century in support of the Kelly Brush Foundation. The effects of the tick bite appear to have waned since around Christmas so I've been training hard, mixing in quite a bit of mountain bike riding as well as other non-bike-related exercise and actually doing a little weight training. It appears to be paying off. For those that don't know, the Kelly Brush Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting individuals with spinal cord injuries in finding ways to get out and enjoy an active lifestyle. For me, this is a cause close to my heart. I love the outdoors and the freedom to explore it in a variety of ways and have worked with organizations like the KBF for the last twenty years to help others do the same. The mission remains the same, regardless of distance, so I'm trying to raise a bunch of money again this. As usual, all of the donations are tax deductible and like last year I'm looking for interesting ways to sweeten the pot if you open your wallet a little bit. To start, I'll do the same thing that I did last year. Any donation in excess of $50 ears itself a shipment of at least two choice New England beers. Top $100 and it'll at least be a mixed 4pk. I've already been working on my stash of Maine-based beer to start things off and will undoubtedly be doing some shopping when in VT on the way to the ride. Here's the link to donate - https://kbf.akaraisin.com/ui/16790/participant/3444604?Lang=en-US - any donation is greatly appreciated, large or small. Thanks, Nate

50/50... wife leaves for a work trip the following day and i'm sure we'll have some stuff to take care of. a non-HC friend mentioned this concert a while back and might be interested too. he saw NeO the last time they were here (the show i had to pass on).

Hey @Aura, pipe dream at this point, but if I come to Chicago on October 6 (it's a Saturday), do you want to check out Ne Obliviscaris and Wintersun with me?

That one was built for another member. I will have one for sale in the somewhat near future however. Looks just like it PM me for details.

The plan should be to get Jeff drunk enough to let you have the Scoutmaster now and pay for it once your kids get out of college.

Aren't you, like, saying you wanna lose weight? I'm gonna assume a radicchio wedge or 2 and nothing else. (;

My name on the schematic and layout files are KG Tube input + GG output.*. Based on Kevin’s KGSSHV-TUBE-SANDWICH board. Different CCS, offset/balance servos and most parts are surface mounted. I did pollute the stax t8000 clone (well sorta) thread with posts during built last summer - an extremely rainy summer.

All of them, obviously.

Still nothing yet from sellmark. I did call and leave a voicemail. I'll let everyone know as soon as I hear from them.

In her defense, she is mixed kind of low in that clip. But in not in her defense, her style ("indie") has always been kind of talky, but then she brings out the singing in the chorus. The first album is still my favorite.

Vinyl orgy

On vinyl, with my new ZYX Ultimate 4D cartridge.

Prices updated for all international people that ordered a single case. I'm using standard 1st class shipping which is $23.50. If you would like International Priority it's $35. BTW, I declared the price as $20 for everyone. If a package gets lost then let me know. I have a few extra enclosures and I can replace a few, but not all.

Tripp... ...trapp... ...trull... ...limited.

The L3 is a single feed (not single ended) differential tube amp. The T4 is a parafeed differential hybrid amp. The T5 will be, if it every gets done, a more powerful version of the T4 that also does away with the parafeed cap. The T4 was designed to be less expensive by reducing the power and by eliminating a bunch of assembly labor. But within its output limits I think it is 98% of the quality of the other amps. There are of course a few things you can do with a higher budget, but they are mostly gild on a lily.

Sub, Woofer.

Are you a cop?
