I saw that but passed. I did grab a 5 port USB hub during the Woot Off for 3 bucks.

Did a DIY wall mount shelf for the turntable. The new townhouse's floors are so bouncy I couldn't add it to the regular rack so I bought a 2" hardwood butcher block from Bed, Bath and Beyond, two L brackets and a 1x6" board to mount to the wall. The board made sure I didn't have to worry about mounting the shelf to the studs. The board is lag bolted to the studs, the L brackets to the board and the brackets to the butcher block. Results are excellent. No more skipping when walking across the room and I think I have a sound improvement too. Or it could be that I'm just so bloody happy to have vinyl back in my life.

We were too hungry to pause for photos. Maybe next time.

Did a grilled radichio and endive salad. Grilled the veggies to get a nice char and soften slightly. Dressing was olive oil, balsamic, dijon mustard salt and pepper. The salad accompanied butterfly pork chops with a spice rub obtained from The Spice House in Old Town, Chicago. We haz happy tummy.

Very encouraging Steve!! Fred, milk him for all the treats and ear scritches you can get!!

Every child begins the world again.... ~Henry David Thoreau Congrats Naaman. She is amazingly beautiful.

Pizza on the grill. Pepperoni, grilled fennel, green olives, mozzarella and crushed tomatoes. And beers.

Thanks. I need to listen to some Scott Walker tonight.

A new sofa and loveseat, a six pack of Two Brothers Domaine DuPage and a 375 ml bottle of Lucid Absinthe. Sounds like a party.

Happy Birthday Sir!!

As Craig said, you'll know when it is time. I've been through this more times than I care to remember and it always sucks hard. But Fred will let you know when it is time. He'll know, and then you will know. So love him for a while longer and let him soak it up. You're both in my thoughts.

Thanks. That makes me hopeful that I'll hear something soon.

Shelly, when did you order?

Brent, having been down that road in the not too distant past, I wish you the best. It may be difficult but it is survivable.

I got on the list right after CanJam and am still waiting...

Your post gets the opposite of "piss off". Good job.

Tomatoes - did you parboil and peel or.....?

Islands. King Crimson. In the end, this may wind up being my favorite KC album. Not sure why other than it speaks to me.

details?

Lemon & garlic marinated pork tenderloin and fresh sweetcorn hot off the grill.

Forgot my iPod.

Right behind you. Two iPhones, one iPad, MacBook Pro and Airport Extreme. Damned slippery slopes.
