Sweet.

Ah crap. Now I have to go read 209 pages of the "Amp recommendations for Audeze LCD-2 thread".

Works twice as better!

So sweet! All the best with the new endeavor, Smeggy.

It's 77 degrees here today in the middle of winter. In order to stay adequately hydrated, I am having some Johnny Gold.

I can see me in it.

Maybe its the cosmic microwave background radiation?

Only 1/2 the bottle, but it's still early.

Pizza Marocco (lamb, mint, feta, garlic and sesame seeds) at Massimo's Pizza Club in Hout Bay. Washed down with Darling Brew Bone Crusher Weiss. Was 75 degrees outside on their patio today in midwinter.

Boer & Brit, "The Field Marshall". Blend of Tinta Amarela, Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Carignan. OK wine, fun marketing blurb. The wine makers are, respectively, the great-great-grandsons of President Paul Kruger (the main Afrikaner political leader of the Second Boer War) and Field Marshall John Denton Pinkstone French (one of the top British commanders during the conflict). Bygones and all that.

Bon Iver -- Bon Iver Wa. Lo. Wing.

Late to the party yet again. Happy Birthday Mike!

Sorry I missed this. Happy birthday Birgir!

Bringing back a lot of good memories, those pictures! The world would be a better place if there were more proper beer gardens, in my only slightly biased opinion.

Is neiss.

A chap over at Head-Fi was nice enough to overlay the Audeze-provided plots of his two sets, pre- and post-driver change.

Yeah SABMiller, currently trying to buy Fosters in order to add even more shitty beers to their portfolio. The Urquell we get here is crap. If they really reimported it into the Czech Republic the locals would surely riot. See if you can find some Starobrno Ležák -- far better use of your precious time.

Damn that looks good, Al! Me miss good pizza long time. I am having a Duvel to console myself. Recently met a Belgian beer importer and we're establishing a (strictly professional) relationship.

Day trip to the Stellenbosch winelands with the kids. They got to pet a cheetah and feed tame barn owls. We got to eat a very nice lunch and pick up a trunkful of good juice. And, apparently, the pot of gold really is right outside the winery door.

In a dyspeptic mood, so very much enjoyed this.

Happy Birthday Greg! Will open some Chenin with lunch in your honor.

Seen that movie. Enjoy the laundry bit!

I invested in BHSE futures.
