I always like to eat first, and build up energy.

Elephas, have you taken over Ric's account? I think it's easy to be dismissive, until you really listen to Pet Sounds. Brian really was a musical genius.

Yep. That locking rabbit joint is about the next best thing to a dovetail joint. That being said, I've built enough pocket screwed drawers to have learned the idiosyncrasies. Nothing like experience on that front.

It's not far from the gay bathhouse in Berkeley, so if you were so inclined, you could get smoked meat and get your meat smoked in one convenient trip.

Sometimes I talk to myself also.

That looks like it'll attract a lot of flying seamen!

Come on, you know you wanna spin some Three Dog Night!

I loved going to Fry's when I lived in Texas. I made a pretty decent living building custom gaming computer cases between 2001 and 2003, and Fry's was the place to find great stuff.

I never judge what's in the mind of straight men. I say "Live and Let Die", or something like that.

I really think that code name Sean Connery has much more flare.

^ This! It would be awesome to walk to work, not to mention walking home for lunch.

Happy Birthday!

One of my favorite albums of the 80's.

I particularly like that you molded your rice to imitate a Chinese 'to go' container. Nice extra touch.

Have a fantastic day Al! I hope Nitro got you something nice!

Who's the lucky BBQee this year? I hope you got a plump person.

Yep. I remember that. I can find no redeeming value in this man's life. I don't like to hate, but there are a few that I can't find my way around it. Rush made that list. But like Nate, I'll settle for not celebrating his life.

Happy Birthday Colin!

Thanks everyone! 60 came in with a vengeance today. Unfortunately not in a fun way. As Al posted elsewhere, it turns out that I got Vertigo for my 60th Birthday! Today was the roughest of the last few days, but I'm very happy to have a diagnosis. I have meds and an appointment for lab work to follow up, so feeling good about that. All of that said, the best thing you can ever hope to get on your Birthday is the best friends a guy could ever hope for! Once again Al has completely taken care of me in a scary medical situation. I really did win the friendship lottery when I met all of you! I can't state enough how much of a blessing you all are to have in my life! My Mother is constantly amazed at what you folks have done for me, and how loving and caring you have been. She has met some of you in person, Marc, Shelly and Al, and has commented to me how lucky I am. She seems to think that something in me draws friends like you fine folks, but I know that I just got very lucky finding so many true friends in one place! So even with the latest circumstances, it really has been a fantastic Birthday!

Completely agree. I wish it had been Skullcandy or even Beyerdynamic.

Brands come and go. I've been around long enough to see the demise and reprise of vinyl. Audiophile headphones are a relatively new market through my eyes. And IMO they've oversaturated the market with too many brands. Someone had to fall victim.

Have a spectacular day!

Have an amazing day!
