Having some more Kumbe cab with my steak dinner. I am even less impressed with it the second night. No more of this wine.

Ok, fine, I will have a margarita then. Margarita 3/2 oz Casa Noble Crystal tequila 1/2 oz Grand Marnier 3/4 oz lime juice 1 tsp Agave Syrup

Fax is on if you need help finishing it.

It is true that the Vibrams can get a pretty funky (smell). I usually wash mine in the sink, scrubby them with an old toothbrush, every once in a while and have tried effercescent (dental cleaning) tablets. That seems to work well. I recenetly started wiping them out with a disinfectant wipe after every use.

Totally agree.

Nice Mike! I love the Vibrams. Why with socks though?

^Very fun album.

Mikey: How do like the Vintage Rye 21yr? I like the Vintage Bourbon 17yr quite a bit, I haven't seen the Rye here though.

Since we are drinking rye.... Sazerac 18, cheers!

Want some of that Bulleit Rye. With dinner: Kunde Cab - ok, not bad, not great After dinner Anvil: White Lady 3/2 oz Bluecoat gin 3/4 oz Cointreau 1/2 oz lemon juice Again, not bad, not great. I decided to add a bit of Cocci Americano (about 1/4 - 1/2 oz) and that really improved the drink.

Looks like you guys are having fun!

Founds some pics of the Steel/Ultraviolet Tristar for those who are interested... maybe a little too girlie for most here though. I kinda like it... of course the solar interior is pretty hawt.

I'm going to put my name down for the loaner program. Thanks!

I do still have the ECD-1. The problem is that it is hooked up to the WA5LE and KGSS and is about 10 feet from my desk where I have the GS-1. (I usually don't leave this setup plugged in because of the lightning storms here.) I think I will do the rational thing and sign up for the loaner program (assuming it is not too late).

This seems to be a better match.

There are a few followers of the Lips of Faith... paging Ken. What kind did you get?

I saw that but I am frankly impatient and suck at writing reviews.

I have had their Pecan Porter and either the IPA or Black IPA or both (cannot remember... I think both). They have a lot of 512 on tap here. I liked the Pecan Porter for a while but then found that a pint of it was too much to drink. I liked the IPAs..

Nice. Nice.

So there is a use for Fernet Branca besides a "shot." Earlier today I had my first Jester King brew(s). I really liked the Black Metal (Imperial Stout).... lots of smokey and chocolately goodness! Probably my second favorite Texas beer after St. Arnold Divine Reserve #10.

Since we are talking about DACs, I have been thinking of upgrading the the Pico DAC on my desktop rig (Mac Mini -> Pico DAC -> GS-1. It will need to have a small footprint. I have been going back and forth between the two. Has anyone heard all three? Rega, Neko, Pico? Probably not but I thought I would give it a go. Edit: Oops, I guess the last post in this thread was in January... maybe I should have posted elsewhere.

Hmm, I guess I would have to buy a 11" MBA then!

Al, I am thrilled to hear of your mom's improvements. Let's hope tomorrow is even better. :prettyprincess:

Jim: Do you get a full day's worth of battery with the extended battery (with medium/light web usage and little phone usage)? Can you install an app to tether to your ipad for free like with Palm Pre (I use MyTether)? I guess I should look into this before I get a new phone.
