Lol @ Dan. Have a good one CJ.

Happy birfday Justin!

Happy birfday Scott!

Hair of the Dog > Deschutes. I hear their new brewpub is awesome.

Very nice Al! Tonight, all of tomorrow, all of Saturday - moving. Blech. This is the last time I move for at least 3 years. Unless it's into John's house.

Boss ass sausage bread made by my vegetarian better-half. Shit is legit.

Jesus I've fallen behind the enthusiast stuff. Ivy finally came out, eh? Will be interested to read impressions. Love the psu Mikey, my HX520 failed after 3 years and they auto-upgraded me to an HX650 when I RMA'd.

For the majority of the night, packed for the move. Packing sucks but having beer helps.

I immediately went to OMA's website after you posted those first pics of Imperia, Al. All I can say is... I think the OMA Mini is my new, semi-realistic, semi-practical, dream speaker. I'll never be able to afford the others, but damn. Maybe the Mini could be a gift to myself when I get promoted.

Sorry to hear, Archos. Best wishes to you and your family.

John - were you on Lake last night? Just saw your post. I was hiding behind a car with the trusty old binoculars.

Scheduled an eye appointment for Thursday afternoon. Not related to the whole "bug-flew-in-eye-and-fucked-my-cornea's-shit-up" fiasco. I'm going to switch back to glasses after going with contacts exclusively for the last 11-12 years. Might split time between the two, but I hope to really use the glasses more because I'm getting tired of contacts.

Happy birfday Ari!

Happy birthday Shelly!!

Thanks Vicki, Gene, and John! We'll be on Washington, right between Harvey and Lombard. It's a vintage courtyard building. Got a call from the property manager, everything looks good and we are signing the lease tomorrow morning.

That's lame Shelly, kinda sad that cheese spread is deemed too dangerous for flight. Allison and I viewed three apartments this morning and put in an application & earnest money on the third. Two bedroom, corner apartment with an actual dining room. Has french doors that open into the master bedroom from the living room and the kitchen has a cool little open pantry that might work well for the beer fridge. Hopefully we can sign the lease sometime next week. Ideally this will be our final apartment and we can save up for a condo/single-family home down-payment over the next 3-4 years. Would be nice to actually pay into an investment instead of plain old rent. And I'm still in Oak Park and more than capable of stalking John whenever I wish .

Lol, even when something so ridiculous happens my HC gang is still there for support. Thanks everyone! I did indeed have a small scratch on the bottom-let quadrant of my eye, so they prescribed an ointment for the next three days. And Mikey - already have plans to crack some beer during lunch today to help the recovery.

Mike G - I need to borrow the eye patch big bro.

Sitting in the emergency room. Bug flew into my eye in the middle of a 5K, pretty sure it scratched some shit up. Be careful everyone, apparently running is dangerous.

The Publican. It's pork and beer, how can you go wrong? I've only ever went there via car though, so unsure how public transportation-friendly it is.

x2, best wishes fellas.

OMG you got it. Fuck yeah!
