I knew about street hockey but never knew there was street curling! Did you throw any stones?

We always play the SNZ Christmas album during the holidays.

Just getting in under the wire with these birthday greetings, Todd, but that doesn't mean they're any less sincere! Hope you've had a good day, good food, good drink and good tunes. Cheers!

Happy Birthday Tom and happy listening! Cheers!

I don't know how many decades it has been since I was last in an IHOP, but I ended up without another breakfast option after dropping off my car for service. Damn the food is ridiculously lame! I should have taken a picture of the pathetic shriveled little bacon slices because Grahame would have cried. A bit of scrambled eggs and semi cooked tasteless pancakes topped with cold tasteless butter rounded out the "meal." Yeesh.

^my thoughts exactly, including the parenthetical.

Now we know why you reappeared when you did -- in time for a happy birthday thread! 😂 Hope you and the family are feeling better and can celebrate your big day, Jay! Cheers!

Fuck it. I made a full batch. Cheers Matt!

Hope you're each having a great day, Jeff and Juan! Cheers!

Could be a record setting sample!

Are you talking 2022 nog, Nate?

Zero Mattnog posts since 2023. What a sad state of affairs. I was just reminded that I failed to make a batch again and I am disappoint in myself. Anybody else make some or still have some in the back of the fridge? Is a month enough time for it to gel?

I didn't love their beer but it is another sad sign of the times in craft beer.

That's a good point, Rob. I haven't listened to their latest album but I should give you shot. Still, the last time I saw them live was certainly the weakest. Edit: I just looked it up and that last show was the tour for the new album last year. Maybe I listened once before the show but I didn't like the new stuff they played so I didn't go back to it.

I don't know anything about D&D or One Piece, but I can tell you're a good dad!

I wished Dinny happy birthday by text. I mentioned that Philodox has reappeared, and suggested that he do the same. He claimed he would take me up on the suggestion and in the meantime he asked me for say hi to the HC crew. So hello mothersfucker!

Cheers Mikey and Chris! Hope the whisky and rum, respectively, are flowing on your shared big day. Cheers!

Who knew that the Billie Eilish / Cardi B of Israel would have a cool music video set in a woodshop? I didn't until tonight. I also found this Succulent Sessions video of several songs, starting with Cipi that includes the great line "You think you are the boss of me? But most the time you're my bitch."

He was great even in his late years. RIP JDJ

RIP to the other Mrs. Robinson

Another belated birthday greeting in the retread thread, Marc! Cheers!

That's how I felt after hearing Oswald Mill Audio Imperia speakers at his loft space in DUMBO years ago with JP#s. Big speakers with intimate live sound.

On No Kings day, Claire and I made an exception for Kingfish, aka Christone Ingraham. He's an amazing blues guitarist and a great singer to boot. I was very happy to hear some great blues and if the video works for you, it was a blast when he walked out into the audience while playing and ended up two feet from me. IMG_7503.mov

I'm not sure anyone cares, but here are even more pictures of the jig demonstrating the various uses. Tenon, mortise, bridle joint, etc. Splining miter joints L-fence for ripping straight edges or long miters And a gratuitous shot of Steve on Grindr
