All DMV's are not created equal (even in Ca). In another life, I was a driving instructor so I had to go to the DMV at least once a day. You get to know those places pretty well. Among the 9 that I'd frequent, 2 were worth going to even if you had to make a 30 min drive to get there. 4 were crazy bad and one had a tendency to discriminate against just about anybody that could be called "different". I had one older student that took the driving test at that one and flunked out twice. They told him he should consider selling his car and giving up driving. I couldn't understand it. Even though he looked ancient, he drove a lot better than some young guys. He had one more chance to get his license (without jumping through a lot of additional hoops). I told him to go to one of my 2 favs and he got 100% and the testing guy complimented him on how well he was driving. Ask around and maybe check Yelp. Reks experience is not unusual.

Makes me glad I didn't mention that I sleep with them sometimes.

Snuggle up with a hot beverage guys! Be safe!

Anybody else's HD800 earpads getting a little shiny and sticky? Mine are but just on the bottom-rear. They shed a little if I rub them there. I'm the second owner so I'm wondering if maybe the previous guy had a habit of slathering on Moose Mousse? Luckily I noticed that the pads are about $75 a pair which seems reasonable.

Happy Birthday Jeff! For the day, stop being so moderate!

I watched it at home alone and I stood there gawking from halfway through the 3rd till the end. Just about the best, most thrilling football game I can remember! I can tell that Tom hates Trump but he's one of Kraft's buddies. I'm praying that he gives it to Donald on live tv from the White House!

OMG! Al's at a meet! Must be the HeadAmp table. Awesome pictures you guys! Thanks! BTW, how is it that these get togethers always happen on Super Bowel Sunday?

Okay,.. now I'm bummed! Hi Monkey!

Just finished Fortitude available on Amazon Prime. One of those shows that makes you want to watch "just one more episode tonight" so the 12 episodes go by in a flash. Some good frozen tundra fare complete with Stanley Tucci and a wooly mammoth! I'd give it 7 out of 10.

That sucks about Manor! I guess it's no surprise though. IMHO the FIA or maybe even Liberty would do well to make sure that a bottom rung team like them is always fielding a cars. It must be very thankless to "hope" that both your entries don't finish in the last places but someone has to be there. I think that the recent success of Toro Rosso show how much a development team adds to the sport.

I sure wish I could make it! Have fun you guys and be sure and post, post, post!

I'm really enjoying this! The plot and characters are much deeper than I anticipated. I hope they keep it up!

Nice find! I aways wanted an SP10 try. I'm sure you know that there are lots of resources for parts and extreme custom plinths etc. The EMT 900 series broadcast tables are very collectable so the prices are kind of nuts. Very cool looking but your SP10 should kick it's butt.

RIP to MTM, Butch,.. and John Hurt! What a career as previous posters have said about Hurt. And what a time to be a actor in demand in London. I'm guessing he saw more than his fair share of debauchery!

RIP Max Wilcox, one of the greatest American producers of classical music. One of those guys with an astonishing resume starting with Rubinstein. http://slippedisc.com/2017/01/arthur-rubinsteins-producer-has-died/

Happy Belated Birthday Adrian! Hope it was (and still is) awesome.

Lots of ripples from the Liberty Media takeover of F1. I'm encouraged to see them putting Ross Brawn in charge of the "technical aspects" of the sport but we shall see the reality of these changes pretty soon. I like what Ross is saying about simplifying the sport. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-4152906/Ross-Brawn-calls-simpler-competitive-F1.html

RIP Maggie Roche!

Happy Birthday Mike! Enjoy the day and whatever drink you have in your hand at the moment (and the next...).

Happy Birthday Grahame!

Just finished season 2 of The Man in the High Castle. I'm with Dusty! Just magical! Right up there with the best of the best!

Happy Birthday guys!

Holy shit that's cold! Somebody really needs to do something about that.

It got pretty scary down here in San Jose/Los Gatos neck of the woods. Lots of downed trees but my pad is close to a power station so I the lights never went out. You guys get the worst of it as usual. Good luck and stay safe!

I was very touched by Obama's farewell speech. Sometimes I can hardly believe how far forward we've gone in the last 8 years. And even though I can't deny that there will be serious ground lost during Trump's 4 years, I'm still hopeful that some good will come out of it.
