Scout or Skeletor

I saw that and wished I would have done the same.

This.

Thanks! I am guessing (if they get the game going) that I will be playing Deepak but don't want to jinx him.

That is really crappy Mike but I am glad it wasn't a stroke. Patch sounds fun. Also, you should be drinking rum drinks if you are wearing a patch and you are certainly allowed to drink a rum drink out of a straw: Navy Grog, Zombie, Mai Tai, Knickerbocker, and Cuba Libra should keep you good for a while. Hope things don't take too long to get better.

Congrat Jim! Now you have more time to do research.

Times seven

Thank you Dinny!

Yuck.

This.

Only if it's duck fat popcorn.

It is already making my head spin... so much that the glass look crooked.

That is tempting.

That sounds a lot better than 1:2 ratio of bourbon to water! Having a little Knickerbocker before dinner.

Welcome back Justin.

Very nice Mike! Al: I've never had Bourbon and Branch. Looking up the recipe it seems to be bourbon and a lot of water??? Watery bourbon sounds yuck. Maybe would be ok with sparkling water?

Thanks! We tried out a "new" restaurant (Branch Water Tavern http://www.branchwatertavern.com/) with great food and a really nice bar that I will have to check out some more in the future... lots of bourbon/ryes and nice cocktails.

Pappy Van Winkle 20yr - celebrating my anniversary

My condolences Chris. I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to lose a parent. Hang in there.

Ok, that is good to know. I am currently using a pair of "old" (not sure of the year) RCA JAN 5u4g ("coke bottle" shaped) so hopefully these will last for a while. I also have a pair of the Sophia Princess 274b but maybe these might fail faster than the mil-spec RCAs. I noticed that the glass on the SP 274b is darker than the glass on my SP 300b tubes (and I think darker than when I first got them). I wonder if this is due to the design of the power supply in the Woo products or if this always happens with the SP 274b.

Yuck indeed.

That is good to know. What kind of timeline is this, months, years? Can one test or look for signs of this? Would the tube just measure with a short life in a tube tester or is it more complicated?

These statements concern me a bit (as an owner of a Woo WA5-LE). Is sounds like you are trying to say that there are issues with the design of the Woo amps. I assume this is the case for the WA5-LE as well. Are these issues actual safety/reliability issues like in Mikhail's amps? I surely don't want a 300b amp blowing up or causing a fire, etc.

^Approved!

I am a fan of the Stinger as well (but the 3:1 ratio was too minty clean for me). Wish I had that Creme de Menthe.
