I have been trying to hold back from using the term "fagottist" in reference to that Olive cover art, but I guess I failed.
Anyway, back on topic:
Assembly of Dust -- Some Assembly Required
Just finished watching the stage. Quite exciting, and Lance really was impressive coming back to the yellow jersey group. Alberto seems untouchable but tomorrow's killer stage and the time trial will be very interesting. Very sorry about Jens Voigt who is one of my favorite domestiques. That crash was scary but he didn't get hurt nearly as bad as I thought.
You're my hero, Steve, and you, KG, Nate, Marc, Spritzer and others are making a real contribution to the community by offering support and even servive (!!!) while Mikhail circles the drain. Very much looking forward to hearing the amp again tomorrow.
Beastie Boys -- Ill Communication (Remastered)
In honor of hearing that MCA was diagnosed with cancer (salivary gland) and is having surgery next week.
Sucks big time Steve but I give about zero chance of recovery. I do have lots of cassette tapes in case you want some new tunes to check out onthe Nakamichi. Let me know and I can send you a package.
thanks Mike.
Either Steve can post or I will get the info and do it. It was small stuff -- resistor, maybe that diode, and a bad solder joint -- and nothing in the amp. He bought another one of the transformer that looked cooked and the new looked exactly the same! thanks again Kevin.
Thanks everyone. I don't think I will be taking this one to meets anytime soon. Thanks for the offer JP, and we can chat about how to retrieve it eventually. For now, Steve is burning in the new parts and making sure it stays functional. Hopefully he'll listen along the way too.
