Damned with faint praise.

Happy Birthday, Chris! :prettyprincess: Don't forget to listen to Going Home to start your new year off right.

That would still beat any Singlepower deliveries.

I agree, though I'd be much more likely to buy the first two than a product called Costanza.

I second Jim's comments about the build and sound quality of the Valhalla. Schiit does seem to make nice products at bargain prices. However, I think the name will hurt them. It is nice that they don't take themselves too seriously, but one must wonder if they take themselves seriously enough. Puns are funny once, but quickly become old. I hope that they reduce the amount of "punnage" in the future. See? The name "Bottlehead" comes from the owner, who is affectionately nicknamed Doc Bottlehead. This comes from his love of tubes. The "sex" theme of his names came from his first product, the "Simple (I think) Experimenter's Kit". This morphed into S.E.X. Then he made a preamp kit. What comes before sex? Foreplay! Ergo it was so named and the sex them was born. I don't mind the sex theme at all. Sex is a nice thing and goes well with music. Shit is not such a nice thing and doesn't go well with anything audio. Also, I'm not so happy with the latest "drug" theme that Bottlehead is using for the headphone products, but it's still better than Shit. Lastly, Bottlehead seems to keep the amount of puns in check.

It must come with tube adapters.

They got 80 inches in the Bishop/Mammoth Lakes from the recent storm.

Did an after-Christmas outing with my family (sister, brother, his wife and the husband of my late sister). We went went whale watching out of Ventura harbor. We saw 4 California Gray Whales, a bunch of Common Dolphins and even more California Sea Lions. It was a great day for everybody, except my sister-in-law. She was terribly seasick from the moment we left the harbor. She was still feeling bad when we left Ventura harbor. I hope that she is feeling better by now.

With cherries on top.

That looks really good. It's just missing a mess of bacon.

Happy Birthday and Bon Anniversaire! :prettyprincess: Have a great birthday and Christmas.

It possibly is bad. How have you been storing the eggs? Did they look and smell alright when you cracked them? If you have been refrigerating them and they passed the look and smell test they are probably OK.

Happy Holidays to everyone.

Heh, that's why I took the Airborne for my cold.

my advice (worth what you are paying for it) is to take the path of least resistance. in other words, just say thanks and be done with it.

A good dessert wine has enough acid to balance the sweetness. An unbalanced dessert wine is just a sweet, cloying disaster. Ports and Sherrys are different things altogether.

Considering Jim's history, I was going to say "in S. Dakota". There are a lot of places starting in Texas and going up the plains where it fits.

This could be the official HC tattoo.

The pictures of the food at Red Mesa made my mouth water. I'm sorry I missed it. Of course, had I made it I would have been sorry that I missed the Refinery. So many restaurants, so little time (and money).

My gift from Gene arrived yesterday. It consists of the following CDs: King Crimson In the Court of the Crimson King Eddie Cochran Somethin' Else, The Fine Lookin' Hits of Eddie Cochran John Hiatt Greatest Hits, The A & M Years '87 - '94 I'm listening to the King Crimson album now on my speaker system. They are really interesting. I have no idea why I never got into them before. I'll listen to the Eddie Cochran and John Hiatt albums later. I had never heard of either of them before, so it's great to get something new like this that I probably wouldn't have tried on my own. Thanks Gene, these are wonderful gifts. Also, thanks again for your effort and generosity for everything TamJam.

Burger was good. The french fries were really good. Agree with Peter.

You already have a great way to lower the bass. It's called a "volume control".

I don't know the first three, but Gone Like a Train is fantastic.

Try uppercase STRIKE, like this.
