I see your problem. It's a little known fact that the person writing the second amendment was a little dyslexic. It was late and he was tired. It was supposed to read: "The right to keep and arm bears". But it got screwed up and here we are.

Earl, Happy Birthday! I'm sure that you are treating yourself to some new tubes!

Depends on what you're going to use it for.

Just noticed the IM icons in the upper right corner of your message. It looks like AIM is holding up Yahoo. Maybe AIM was hired by Microsoft?

The garbage truck was loaded over the legal limit and, due to previous vehicle violations, could not legally enter NYC. The bus was illegally parked. The legal wrangling over this will get very interesting.

Please do. I'll probably need the chuckle. Ah, did the Kosta Browne just ship? Edit: Nope, I see they shipped on Mayday. Must be something else exciting.

So what did you buy? A couple of cases of Petrus?

Yep. Unfortunately, Russian River Brewery doesn't ship their beer down this far south yet. So no Pliney the Elder. The good news is that they plan on doing it soon, so I have hope! "I'll just have to choke it down".

They also had the Trois-Pistoles and the Fin du Monde. I didn't get either of those because it's been really hot here recently and I thought that the Maudite would be the best of the three as a hot weather beer. I'm willing to hear other opinions though.

I just came back from buying beer. I didn't go too wild as my wife doesn't like beer so we mostly drink wine. The beers were already picked over and there wasn't much of what people recommended. All the beer was 1/2 off. I got: 6 Hoegaarden $4.75 6 Rogue Dead Guy (microbrew from OH) $4.75 4 Duvel Belgian Golden Ale $6.50 4 Unibroue Maudite (no 16) $6.00 So with CRV and tax, the grand total was $24.18 for these beers. I may buy another 6 pack of Hoegaarden tomorrow.

You can't lose here. Worst case is that it doesn't float your boat. If so, you can always sell it, probably for more than you paid. Risk free, except if you like it that is!

I thought of that and looked for "Will" in the attendee list. He wasn't there so I thought that she was just being emphatic! Maybe she'll invite a "Will" now.

Two wills! She must really mean it.

I'll pass this on to my wife. If this is such a good deal, then I'm sure that you bought several cases at your club price? :o

Even worse, we joined Foley's wine club yesterday. Their wine is fairly good now and can't wait to see what Kris does with it in the next couple of years. One good thing about the club membership is that it also allows us to taste for free at other Foley-owned wineries (Lincourt, Firestone and another that I can't remember). Longoria won't be unhappy. I bought 6 bottles of the 2005 Fe Ciega two weeks ago. The 2006 is excellent too. Another thing. Stacy and I found a wine bar/store in Solvang where one can buy 2005 Wedell Hillside Reserve. The best thing is that the price is only $135/btl.

I have the same problem as JP. I'd buy the beer for the meet, but then you'd never know how much would actually arrive come meet time. Every time I see this name, an entirely different picture pops into my mind. Bad Ken!

You notice I didn't post the name of the store. At these prices, JP might drive down and buy it all! :eek:

A local wine store that opened a couple of months ago is exit the beer part of their business. Here is a snippet from a recent email: I don't know Belgian beers at all. Please recommend some things I should look out for. Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

That's my view on the K1000. It's a "speaker" for people that live in apartments, condos or otherwise can't play a regular speaker system. The K1000 gives a lot of the speaker experience without disturbing neighbors, family members, etc.

And crude. Brrrrrppp.

I've never heard of him before. But then, I'm an old fart.

Hell, you never know what they are putting in cables these days.

She's a double agent.

Get both setups. Listen to them and report back. Then sell the lesser setup.

I've used spade-terminated 4TC speaker cables for years between my Anthem Int-1 and Joseph Audio RM7si/sig speakers. I've never felt the need to upgrade (i.e. spend more money).
