congrats on the BA Al. Sad I will not be hearing it.

I bought another set of winter riding gloves....

Oooh nice Al!!!

this isn't very recent, bought it probably a month or so ago but it's my latest audio related purchase:

Onkyo TX-NR3008

Traxxas Stampede RC Truck for my son's birthday - it's a lot of fun so far, and it's the best quality RC we've ever owned.

Nice Al and Todd!

Damn that's a lot of car in a short time

Almost makes me think about actually replacing one of mine... nah

The 2011 Subaru Outback 3.6R LTD was, last June, a replacement for my 2002 Outback VDR H-6, which was getting a little long in the tooth. After replacing the 15mm rear anti-sway bar with a 19mm STI unit (they are interchangeable) in the new Outback, oversteer was largely corrected. The 2010 Evo SE will be my summer car. The SE model was the best fit for my needs, the availability of new 2010s was fast disappearing, and there were some attractive rebates and pricing available in January. The dealer is storing it inside for me until April. And, with the divorce, I have additional garage space available.

Gotta try 'em out.

Nice Al. Let us know what you think.

I'm actually going to buy some cards tomorrow during lunch. I played the Phyrexian vs Coalition decks this past weekend and they were very well made. Lots of fun to be had.

Just paid Min, so I guess that I can say I bought this now. AD1 Balancing Act, which will be the preamp in my Moth/EC setup in Mayberry. Oh, and I can skip the search for the Moth switchbox now.

Nice pickup, Al! Look forward to your impressions.

We figured that, so some will be saved for our next get-together.

Nice Al, pretty BA and pretty booze that's all there is needed! OK, perhaps pretty vinyl........

(considerably) cheaper snow melt than what I usually buy. I was then promptly reminded why the stuff I usually get is really expensive - it actually works.

An Altera programmer clone. Amazing what you can get in China these days for practically peanuts:

Tickets for Schlafly's Cabin Fever event, a winter beer tasting in St. Louis this Saturday. We're going to visit Debbie's brother and thought standing outside in 29 degree weather drinking beer would be an awesome thing to do...

ooh, schlaffly's in st louis? ok, maybe I WILL consider the jobs that are there...

Bought two personalized Sigg water bottles for my niece and nephew. Did the rock star monkey one with name in flames for my nephew, and something pink and whatever for my niece. I think they'll like them.

I want to hook up a Sega Saturn, Dreamcast and Japanese Xbox360 to my arcade cabinets for some shmupping goodness. I need to research the scart cables & pad hacks required.

And my Stax T1 arrived today from Japan.

Nice Al and Todd!

Yes!

Hadn't even heard of them until New Years when my buddy brought a six pack mix to our gathering. Really good stuff, I especially liked the coffee stout! Although, I drank it while standing inside my house. Perhaps I missed the full experience.

My thermometer currently says '0.1'. If it's better that way, let me know and I'll go stand outside and drink one.

(nods in solidarity @ all the Schlafly love, raises air bottle)

Well even though it is costing a bit, technically we just filled out the paperwork to adopt a female German shorthair pointer from the Coles County animal shelter.

German shorthairs are awesome dogs! Of course, if you haven't had a dog and now have to deal with the responsibilities then I can understand the but I hope you love her and the family enjoys having a dog. And good on you for getting a rescue!

Edited January 22, 201115 yr by Voltron

No the palm was only for the fact that she immediately had us wrapped around her paws. We only do rescues. Our current dog is a 14 year old Rottweiler/lab mix, who just happens to also be the world's most laid back canine. When we got him he had mange so bad that his blood went sceptic. At that time he fit in my hand. Now he weighs 92 lbs.
