They are using the old Pioneer pricing model: 1. Give it a ridiculously high "Suggested retail price" 2. Discount it like hell so the suckers buyers think that they are getting a fantastic deal. I have no idea if this is a competitive amp or not, but I really dislike this pricing model.

Carl, it's great of you to do this. It may be easier for you to keep track of requests if we (i.e. a moderator) splits the shirt posts off into a separate thread.

Happy Birthday.

My Xmas gift to myself. Since I'm such an unintelligent solderer, I figured having an intelligent soldering iron couldn't hurt.

Carl, I'm in for a large. Mike, sorry about the bad aspects of your weekend. The ticket and, especially, the dent are real downers. Maybe you could include the ticket costs on your insurance claim for the door? Edit: I'd prefer a red tshirt but can live with blue.

Me too. It turns out your mom was right, drinking is bad for your health. Congrats Bryan. The weather is really weird right now. When I passed through Denver yesterday, it was 65.

Damn Jacob, I missed your post last night. Sorry about you leg and am glad that surgery went well. Now you just get well soon.

I'm home after a long day of traveling. What a great meet. Many thanks to Gene and to Matt for making this happen, and with great beer. Thanks also to Alex for getting out of bed to take me to the airport this morning. Hope to see all of you soon.

My condolences to you and your family, Steve. You are lucky to have had so much time with your grandfather. Treasure them and remember all the good times.

I'm shutting down now until I get there. See you all soon. Tyll and Ryan, don't forget your earplugs.

Happy Birthday! :prettyprincess:

"feeling" should have been "filling", of course. It's actually quite yummy, especially with Parmesano Reggiano, the "undisputed King of Cheeses".

@Tyll - Great. Have a good time at JH. Maybe you could convince them to give me a pair of JH-13s or -16's or whatever so that I could do a comparo with my ES5s. See you Friday. @Matt - I'm up for whatever on Friday. What you suggested sounded just fine. I'm still hoping for a trip to Ybor City some day or evening during the weekend.

Happy Birthday. :prettyprincess:

I had a spaghetti omelet. Make an omelet using left-over spaghetti as the feeling, then use left-over spaghetti sauce as the topping. Had some green beans with it.

My vet uses a Dremel tool. I've seen others use an emery board or sand paper. When she'll cooperate, I'll get a picture of my White-Fronted Amazon's beak so you can see the difference.

As the banner above the computer room in my grad school days said: Don't attempt vast projects with half-vast solutions.

That and duct tape.

Took a bunch of e-crap to the recycling center.

How is this different from the other times?

Nice pictures. The beak of the White-Fronted Amazon (first pic) could use some serious grooming.

Matt, what did you have in mind for Friday? Going to Ybor City sounds a lot more interesting to me than going to Bern's.

Well, they would be drinking Bond-ed liquor.

Happy Birthday, Holiday buddy! :prettyprincess: See you in just over a week. Yay!

Look deeper next time and you'll see.
