Thank you sir. Considering the task you had before you. the belated wishes are completely understood.

Marc, I will have the Schiit Magni and Modi there. I believe you inquired about them not long ago. I'll also have the uber Bifrost.

Happy Birthday Adrian! Hope to see you next month.

Happy Birthday!!

Ron Dennis back in charge at McLaren, but rumors are that he doesn't want to run the day to day stuff and that Ross Brawn will skip his hiatus to take the job. And that means Whitmarsh is out.

Crab cake appetizer.

The remnants of our oysters 2x2x2 at Mapletree Inn.

And thanks everyone for the good wishes. It's been a good day.

Nah, Debbie's drinking the beer. I have a Sazerac. At the Mapletree Inn for Cajun/Creole food.

This. I got mine a couple of days ago and it is replacing an XDA-1. The Bifrost is by far better to my ears. And it always bugged me that the XDA-1 could not do hi-res via USB. I went with USB and Uber Analog on the Schiit and so far I love it. Audirvana with hi-res out to the Bifrost sounds very, very good.

Happy Birthday Grahame!!!

Happy Birthday Frank!

Happy Birthday John! If you need a ceremonial crashing into your glass door to celebrate, let me know. Enjoy the day my friend.

Money shot for Grahame - our dessert at 3 Floyd's tonight. Ginger cake ice cream sandwich with wasabi cream. And it was awesome.

This might be something you want to ask your doctor about. My ex-wife had Raynauds and it does manifest in the hands and feet. Below about 30 F she would begin to actually experience physical pain and her hands would turn white. There are some drugs and also if you know you have it you can offset with gloves, warmers etc.

Furnace is good. Cleaned a flame-probe-thing (technical term) and all is working well.

I just tinkered with our furnace as it started short cycling. So far so good.

I love it. In the past, in weather conditions like this, our company would close for the day. This time, even though the building is closed, telecommuting policy is in effect and Debbie and I will be expected to be in front of computers at home connected to work all day tomorrow... grrrrrrr

We made bangers & mash with onion gravy tonight. It was a nice stick to your ribs meal.

Nevermind.

Yeah, we went out for a brief drive and it was hard just getting out of the subdivision. No one should be on the road in this stuff. My guess would be that I57 is probably closed in places due to drifting.

C'mon up Jim, I'll get the DL ready.

Those of you who sat on our deck last summer drinking Dark Lord, this is what the deck looks like today: And this is the drift outside the front door:

Forecast for tomorrow morning includes wind chills of -52 F.

We're getting a predicted 10" of new snow here, and the predicted high on Monday is -11 F. This could get interesting.
