Parp. Parp.

Oh that's such shitty luck. RIP Mike.

Happy Birthday! I played golf in your honor.

No, I think it's still going to be a while. Haven't heard of any being delivered through official channels yet, so it was interesting to see one showing up on the downlow. What could cause serious unhappiness would be ADs selling their limited allocations out the back door for 150% of MSRP instead of satisfying their wait lists. If I was Rolex I might buy up some of the early grey offers, track the serials back and crack a few skulls. Larry if you don't decide to keep the CK-2998 then give me a shout.

First new ceramic Daytona that I've seen available popped up on the grey market last night, listed for $22K versus $12K MSRP. I am going to be tempted to flip mine if that sort of premium holds up.

Decided psychological scars were sufficient.

Happy Birthday!

Today I was forced to display the judgement of Solomon in deciding between attendance at my son's first baseball game or my daughter's Girl Scout talent show. The only fair solution was to blow off both and go drink beer in London with Jeff.

Weird double post.

Happy birthday!

OMG.

Happy Birthday Ari. Seconded on the miss you part!

Where it will spark a 40-page thread, packed with recommendations for the Cao Ni Ma Audio Shabi 250.

I'm going to neck half a bottle of wine and give it another go tonight. Though chances are I'll give up half way through, finish the rest of the bottle and listen to the new Andrew Bird album yet again instead.

Ballotine of guinea fowl. Pork chop with sage and mushroom.

I like fucking better.

For Greg.
