The larger of the two included cases is large enough to fit a couple of iPod Classics. For old guys like me that still think of them as current technology. I like to have multi-gig music choices.

So my Etymotic ER4XR IEM's arrived today. Listening now and they sound great. Glad I went with the XR edition. Best bass I've heard out of Etymotics, but not at all bloated. Still a bit bass shy IMO, but much better than the S or P versions. The aluminum housings also just give a more quality feel. Great bargain!

I live in California, where when we think we may have gone too far, we go a little further. I did my 40 years of winters. Done with snow.

I'll be the one to tell the Dad jokes around here.

Beautiful! I hearby proclaim this wood Tap Maple. There is also Spalted Maple. Similar, but caused purely by fungus. Ambrosia Maple is also caused by fungus, but it's the Ambrosia beetle that invites the fungus ( as does the tapping in Tap Maple ).

Home theater, I'm sure.

If you look closely, about an inch and a quarter from the left edges, you can even spot the Ambrosia beetle tunnels.

Hey now! Leave Got out of this! 😉 Yeah, I've seen some nice Ambrosio Maple before, but flamed Ambrosia Maple is a whole other thing. It's really lovely.

^ What does that have to do with handing out towels?

They're by far the best tasting store bought pickles I've ever had, by a very wide margin.

There's a McIntosh salesman eating very well today.

Gorgeous Ambrosia Maple! Nice craftsmanship too! Impressive for a man of 76.

I don't know how handy you are, but if memory serves Ikea has similar legs for sale. Some 1/2" Baltic birch plywood, a sheet of Black laminate and you can create a very nice desk built to your specifications.

Not actually cooking, but making tuna salad. I like my tuna salad loaded. Red Bell Pepper, Onion, Heirloom Tomatoes, Pickles, but not just any pickles will do, Kalamata Olives, Crumbled Bacon, Albacore Tuna and Ciabatta Buns. When I'm ready to serve I slice some Avocado, then add some French Fried Onions. Yes, I'll be cleaning my countertops!

Marc is 76 years old today, but doesn't look a day over 45. That could have something to do with his head always shrouded in pipe smoke. I've been inches away, but never had a clear view. Or possibly it's his career that keeps him looking younger. He's a towel boy at a posh country club, and the constant steam must be the answer ( I realize that some of you think he's involved with software, but that's just his cover story ). Maryanne sent me a pic of the cake she baked, just beautiful! Have the best day ever Marc ( if that is indeed your real name )!

Hatchbacks, I don't know about hatchbacks. I like hatchbacks, Joe wanted to ban hatchbacks. For 8 years Joe tried to ban hatchbacks. I stopped that. The country loves hatchbacks, but Joe tried to ban them. Now we have the greatest hatchbacks ever, that's because I stepped in and stopped it. I designed new hatchbacks myself. Some people think that was Ford and Chevrolet, but it was me. I made the greatest hatchbacks the world has ever seen. Joe wanted to ban hatchbacks, but I stopped that.

Thanks Todd!

No one is a bigger fan than myself. In fact if I had a nickle for every time I've even said the words " Boy, U2", I'd be wealthy man.

It seems quite obvious to me what happened. Brent must have put biscuits in the oven, which started the Earth's magnetic field to shudder, but then he started grooming that enormous head, lost all track of time, and the biscuits burnt, rendering them not worthy of consumption. Therefore the Earth's magnetic field returned to normal. Elementary really.

Exactly where is Libertaria?

I have boxer shorts older than you.

R.I.P. Tony Lewis Tony Lewis was the lead singer of The Outfield. He was 62 years old. "Say It Isn't So"

I bet that sounds pretty good when the car isn't up on the gigantic hydraulic lift!

At nearly 60 years of age, my first response to that picture is that it makes my neck hurt.

They almost seem to pop up yearly.
