That was really good, thanks! Nice to see you, Colin! Too bad you didn't bring the sous vide!

Jeez. I was just in touch with them last month asking when the upgrade kit from mk 1 to mk 2 would be available, and they said they were hoping for this spring. I guess not.

Happy Birthday!

Holy shit. I thought it was 14 degrees just now, until I read this and looked closer ... it's 1.4 degrees! Yes, this winter sucks. Glad you're ok, Bryan. Mike, thanks for the good news!

Looks like a great time, fellas!

Happy birthday, Dan! Sounds a lot like my days!

There is pretty good literature about this. Not that Wikipedia is good literature, but it's convenient: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-dependent_learning I had a colleague who was pretty bright, but he couldn't pass his specialty boards exam. We finally talked to him about his study habits, and figured out he would always study while sipping a glass (or more) of wine. No, we didn't tell him to take the exam while drunk. We told him to stop drinking while studying, and he immediately passed the next time through. I guess this is a slightly better source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6670052

Done. Good luck, Raffy!

Happy Birthday Aimless Al!

That fucking sucks, Todd! Same here about 3 weeks ago. And that fucking sucked .

Didn't witness the Kubrick wars, but heard about them. 'Eyes' was definitely not his best work! Yikes! You MUST have been drunk to say that!

Happy birthday Colin!

Yeah, they're pretty bad. They shiver, the salt hurts, so it's dog friendly salt only, the snow and cold slows Ginger's ability to pee, they cower under the deck. It's been a long winter for them (and me)! Anne actually knitted them sweaters, it's pretty funny, but it helped a lot.

I HAVE to dig a path for the pugs, or they'd be buried alive. How does Poe do?

Happy birthday!

Yes! A witness who agrees with me! Although, IIRC, 'the next morning' was about 2am, when Deb came around and wisely suggested we call it a night. Then she drove me to the hotel, and it was all fuzzy after that... wait, that didn't sound right! But yeah, I'm pretty certain I was drunk that night. You SHOULD be proud. That was the most I'd had to drink since college! It was the first time I'd had Fever Tree tonic, first time I'd actually liked Gin (Blue Coat), and first time I'd tried Sazerac 18. So I DO remember the important things!

Yeah. Haven't seen him with the Lord. That must be something.

It's quite frightening, really.

Ha. We have different definitions of drunk. I'd suppose you know drunk way better than I know drunk. Although, similar to emelius, I've never seen either of you look remotely drunk, even after like 15-20 drinks!

You already did. In Mike Sr's garage. I could hardly stand up. You even commented on it!

Man, I'd love to. I'd love to sample your wares in your home court. And hear the speaker rig with the Thiels and Capitole. And just hang. Not gonna happen, though. Sigh.

I could hardly stand up that night. Jacob even commented on it. I pretty much feel like shit and fall asleep way before I get drunk. A blessing and a curse.

Yum. Pics?

Followed Aura and Absorbine. Then met KG, dsavitsk, and recstar. Was a little scared at first though, because everyone was so mean to poor germania, skylab said he didn't like it here, and then the whole beely thing...

Happy Birthday!
