Started a 4 hour ride but then popped a spoke after 30min and had to get my wife to pick me up. FML.

^ The looks like Carriacou to me. My Grandpa (RIP) lived there and every year they have a carnival and race that when it's going on they have to shut power to the rest of the island to power the speaker systems in town.

I love my GSX (balanced dynalo right?) and couldn't come to any preference between it and a balanced Beta22 when listening blind (admittedly only doing that 4/5 times) and with non-blind comparison. Of course YMMV.

Very cool. If only my DEQ2496 worked at anything above 24/96.... well that and if I could hear that high

Ah that's what I figured once I thought about it some more. Today I said goodbye to our last house guest after more than 3 weeks of having guests (3 different groups). It was awesome having them but I'm glad to have our house back to normal again.

Congrats on the new job Dan and good luck with the on call nights. Are you on call of 1 night every 6 weeks? That doesn't seem bad.

Peter that is an awesome shot!

That sucks Dinny. I hope things improve. Are you going to take the rest of the vacation time off at home? Staycation in NYC sounds pretty good.

Congrats?

Good work Vicki, I haven't done 40 in a few weeks. It's a fun distance, not long enough that you suffer terribly but long enough I went fishing for the 3rd or 4th time in 3 days with my brother on the lake. Lot of fun to drift around. I wish I had a trolling motor.

"Y U Mad Bro" I think

That makes sense Dan. Values on houses around here dropped maybe 5% (condos fared much worse) and are up now so it was a non issue.

Happy Birthday!

My bike is an XL and with my mad fiber wheels it totals 14.8lbs. My second bike is a Nevation and cost $2400 I believe and weighs in at 17.2 or so with full SRAM force build. That said my fat ass is more of an issue that the bike's weight.

Congrats on the close Dinny. We were so lucky on our refi as it was completely painless.

Good news re tornados Vicki. I have to agree with your friends at that kind of coin I would have done carbon but I respect your decision.

Happy Birthday!

Pretty interesting stuff: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/03/simple-portraits-complex-camera/?hp Not that I care for the work per se but the camera is pretty neat.

Good luck Ken! Sounds like you guys are making the absolute best of a bad situation.

I can't wait for my ICS upgrade. I hope it comes early. I am sorely tempted by the N900...

Very nice build!

Congrats on the bike Vicki! I know what you're saying about shoes as I have the most expensive shoes in my household and my wife has some pretty nice shoes.

Happy Birthday!

Spritzer what amp is the most neutral? KGSSHV? What? I liked the BHSE when I heard it but I also heard differences (I think) between tubes which makes me think it's not neutral (well maybe with specific tubes). I'm just interested really.
