I am down for bocce ball for sure! Bowling is a distant second and shooting lots of guns would trump either of those. Not sure about sleeping arrangements but I get in on Friday. I will check with Gene.

No thanks, but the pull, jiggle, wink move was pretty intoxicating.

Those Staxen speakers look awesome! Enjoy!

What is it and where can it be found?

It is the MFSL of that. I have all of them.

I think you mean "authentico"

Fucking elk ghosts are so needy. Now playing on SACD: Dead Can Dance -- In the Realm of a Dying Sun

sourdough pizza crust IS great

And playing Schubert?

Are you haunted?

This one

Nice posting PostyWillow! I want to check those gigantic cans out again one of these days. They sounded pretty good with Todd's 307A and Pinnacle but I haven't heard them with much else.

Nice grabs JP! The vinyl sounds great, but was it really RSD? Don't know how I missed that.

Happy birthday Zoe. May you one day grow up to be the seventh tallest Mexican!

I want another T-day dinner. Got no leftovers either this year.

Wayne the stalker furry. Impressive indeed!

Jambalaya Fest sounds great Mike. We just found out that a dumpy little coffee shop in Mayberry closed down and is being replaced by a cajun spot. Nice upgrade! Resistance is futile, other Mike!

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss -- Raising Sand Buster Williams Trio Live -- 65 Roses Jose Gonzales -- In Our Nature

Sorry, all eated up. I have a tiny slice of pecan pie I was saving but I will slap it in the pneumatic tube now if you want to try the best pecan pie evar.

Nice score all around Greg.

I can't offer any help on the Maggies, but I own a C-5xe MP and think it is a very nice sounding player. It is audio only but can play any silver disk format. It's sound is clean and detailed but not harsh or digital-edged. Definitely a good deal in my book. I also own the K-XR but not the M-XRs. I'm not sure what you found disappointing about the amp's internals but they are anything but. From the solid aluminum billet chassis on up, these are SOTA amps with tons of power but plenty of finesse. If my speakers weren't self-powered I would likely own them.

That's very cool Birgir! Are you going to try powering a Stax trafo box from it? Btw, what the heck is the "scratch" dial or button?

Some random shots from the frosty Thanksgiving in Mayberry and the day-after hike. [imghttp://gallery.me.com/abedecarre/100632/IMG_7832/web.jpg?ver=12908364380001

A little late, but Claire's rustic Tarte Tatin made with Granny Smiths and our own Fijis from our one little apple tree is worth a day-after shot. Bottom: Top:
