Happy Birthday, Shelly. Have a great day, and thanks for being who you are.

Al .. nice new avi, and nice beer score.

2007iMac 24" is all we need at home. 2007iMac 24" is all we need at home. 2007iMac 24" is all we need at home. 2007iMac 24" is all we need at home. 2007iMac 24" is all we need at home. 2007iMac 24" is all we need at home. Yeah, that'll work ...

I'm sure you know this, but IS is pretty useless for 95% of Macro work. You will likely be manual focusing on a tripod if you get serious with macro.

Happy birthday, Manuel.

Dusty ... I concur that the Alamos Malbec is a winner in the cheap wine cat. Must lay in a case. Mike ... no banquet here, but I am cleaning out the fridge of good ol' plain DFH 60 min before leaving for 3 weeks in the morning. Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

Congrats, and welcome to the club. You may want to monitor the temps of the gear above the M22, as I'm sure you've seen by now that it runs very hot - true Class A always does. I've got mine sitting on a ceramic tile on the floor with nothing above it. Have fun choosing a pre amp, and enjoy! It is, Steve, it is.

hmmmmm ... where does this Grant guy live ?

Happy Birthday, Ryan. Have a great one ... nothing like some amazing beer after a day of proctoring, eh?

Get well, Ollie. Wonderful news re:promo and tenure, Jim ... congrats. Now go and celebrate with a proper drink like some straight whisk(e)y.

That is an amazing rig, John. Congrats on putting together a fine system. I will take you up on a listen and a drink or three next time I am north. Enjoy ...

Happy Birthday, bigguy! Have a great one.

10,000 people? And I thought Pliny the Younger release at Russian River was crazy. This is insane. (in a good way) Have fun, Mike & Emelius, and whomever else lucky enough to attend.

Pretty birdie, Alex. Was that from FL or Nicaragua?

^^^^ That would be quite glorious if there were.

Nice use of the freshly received Glencairns. people. Except for Dan ... never thought I'd see "grawk" and "cocktail"in the same post. We are very ashamed, aren't we, JP and Mike? So sad to see a nice young man go soft.

Beautiful woodiness. Great work, Steve, and congrats on the beautiful pieces, Al.

Get well wishes headed to hubby, Shelly. My dad went through the same thing, and the surgery and recovery were tough, but outcome excellent. The past few days sound like hell for both of you. Sorry you went through it, but good that firm diagnosis and treatment plan is now at hand. Stay positive, and don't forget to take care of yourself.

Belated Happy Birthday, Mike. Hope it was great.

Haj ... I did exactly this. Had 256gb ssd in mbp with os and all programs including lr3, and ran lr3 cat and all photos on an external fw drive. Previously ran all from internal mbp drive. Very noticeable improvement in speed. So, I'd say go for it, and you will get a faster/smoother running lr3.

Happy Birthday, Tyler. Have a great one.

CCB Vuja De ... a wonderful sour, and coupled with CCB Guava Grove, would make a serious run at Russian River Damnation and Temptation. Road trip anyone?

Calzone ... pffft ... there are some ok ones in Brooklyn, and even in SFO, but for the best, you gotta go to to Micucci's market or Amato's in Portland, ME. Just imho, but thowdowns are welcome.
