But it locks in the basses, and big knobs are always far superior.

^ This!

Happy Birthday Colin! We expect a full review of the celebratory meal!

Thanks guys! Dug out a yard today to celebrate. Stupid homeowner wants his deck at ground level. My brain says 30, but my back says 54. Going out to dinner with Mom and Step dad.

Happy Birthday Ed!

NICE!

Happy Birthday!

Have a great day Jeff!

Now it's a Matchgame question. Looks great Mikey!

Congrat Al! Welcome to El Dos Ruedas club!

Fly indeed! As are those beams and that table!

Hi Shelly! it doesn't really seem as though the "(single burger patty with bacon, cheddar, tipsy onions, chipotle aioli and a fried egg)" was settling. They both look fantastic!

YUM!

I was a weird teenager (not that that's any surprise).

Fingers crossed for battery juices to flow.

The record belonged to my best friend's Dad. I did record it onto cassette, but I usually borrowed the vinyl for rig wars. At 16 I heard a great system for the time...Phase Linear/Carver/Yamaha/Klipschorns. It was a revelation for me, and I spent nearly two years recreating it as best as my budget would allow.

Just found... http://whiskeybacon.com/2013/06/11/jack-daniels-whiskey-baked-bacon-recipe/

I've had bacon marinated in Grand Marnier, and that was pretty good. Just seemed whiskey marinated bacon would appeal to some here.

Have any of you whiskey aficionados ever marinated bacon in whiskey before cooking?

At 18 I had what I thought then was a decent system. Phase Linear amp, Carver pre-amp, Yamaha TT and ESS AMT 1D's with the big Heil air motion transformers. Any time one of my peers would suggest his crappy Cerwin Vega/Optimus rig (the favorite of teens of that time) would keep up, I'd crank that record up on their system. None of my friends knew what was coming, and many a woofer saw it's demise.

I'd recommend just buying an old '80's linear tracking table off of ebay. Technics, Sony, JVC etc...For less that $100 you'll have a pretty decent sounding TT, and the P mount cartridges can be had very cheaply.

Oh damn!

When I was twelve years old, I was riding my bike around the neighborhood. Suddenly a van pulled beside me and Stiller and Meara jumped out and forced me inside the van. Yes, I was abducted by the comedy duo. They took me back to a rundown house, where another abducted child named Ben was being held. That's right, he's not their real son. I was held for three years before escaping. I spent my time training the rats in the basement, and was finally able to overthrow the comedy duo by a rat coup. My rat leader, also named Ben, after the other abductee, was able to talk the other rats into cornering the comedy duo, but I couldn't talk Ben, the child, into leaving with me. By the time I was able to call the cops, the house was empty, except for Ann's bra, a small amount of rat fur and the John Denver 8 track we had been forced to listen to daily. During my captivity I always told myself that if I ever were able to live a life of my own, I would buy some better audio equipment and assassinate John Denver. I was able to accomplish both goals, and even made the assassination look like an accidental plane crash.

Beautiful!

Yeah, I'd been away too long.
