Cj, that's nuts. Like Mike said, the terrorists don't need to do anything except laugh as we slowly destroy our own freedoms. I've read about people taking innocent pictures and being harassed, arrested etc. When did we as a country become so damned scared??

It's magically delicious!!

Did a couple of chicken breasts on the grill along with some brussel sprouts. Dressed the sprouts in olive oil, aged balsamic and some kosher salt. Very scrumptious.

Tickets to see Jimmy Webb at SPACE in Evanston March 5th.

Thanks, I think I saw that while searching last night. I've looked at the Omens as well but it seems the Lore might be a better SS choice at 8 ohm impedance vs. 12 for the Omen?

I'm very interested in the Tekton Lore. Has anyone heard these? Thoughts on powering these with solid state, specifically the McIntosh MA5100?

Nah. Real word means working, then relaxing with fine spirits, good food and better friends. It ends up working out pretty well. Congrats dude!

X-rays or it didn't happen. Well, somebody had to do it. I'll be thinking of you my friend.

Dude!?! Not good. Keep us informed, hopefully it's not that bad.

My condolences Steve. My mom is 91 so I can relate. I hope your Grandfather was able to enjoy all of his time down here.

Looks like everyone is having a blast. I really wish I could be there. Really. Right now the wind is howling and there is freezing rain up here.... Have fun folks!!!

Jacob, have you been busy since getting home? http://boingboing.net/2010/12/09/goat-heads-found-on.html

16 F. outside tonight. Perfect to grill a couple of ribeyes. A couple of salads and we were good to go.

Several people asked about the recipe. Spices: 1 Tbs. Chili Powder

Santo, Kessinger, Beckert and Banks. That was the infield when I grew up. My 91 year old Mom is a die hard Cubs fan so I grew up watching. I still remember Santo doing head-first belly flop slides. RIP Ronnie. We'll miss you.

That sounds most excellent. Especially since it's bloody cold and windy up here.

A big thanks to everyone who came. We had a blast hosting, meeting new people and seeing old friends. No knife wounds, deaths or even puking. But some good beverages and good times. And getting the KG stamp of approval on my modest speaker rig was a very good feeling.

Glad you got home safe and sound Al. Thanks again for coming Out for lunch/dinner/beer with Jacob and Debbie.

No consensus on the HC Sidecar. I think the Meyer lemons were a bit too tart. Now drinking Highland Park scotch.

A dreat grunken time is being had by all.

Jacob mixing HC Sidecars right now. Thanks to our Patron Saint Jim of the Southern Illinois.

You are the official mascot of ChiLiquiFi Fitz. And we miss you.

We've not gotten to the sidecars. But we have had many other adult beverages. And the boys are currently out smoking cigars in the snow.

After the Bluecoat marinated pork chops are consumed.

Jacob, KG, Aimless, Aura (with entourage) me and Debbie in attendance. Waiting for jvlgato. Bluecoat G&T, Yamazaki 18 year single malt, Delamain cognac and many beers sampled.
