Happy Birthday Ed!! Grill your ass off and enjoy some beers too.

We have watched this from the beginning and it is piss your pants funny. Watch it.

Thanks! Ordered The Ruling Class and Spartacus.

I dropped off the M22 on Saturday and he told me to expect at least 6 weeks.

Somehow I'm feeling my Tiny Dhik's IEM's are inadequate considering the rest of the recommendations.

So far I've had great communication with Hamad and will be dropping my amp off tomorrow.

I have purchased Eddie Current amps so I know the zen of waiting. I'll use the NAD C272 until the M22 returns or I still have the vintage McIntosh integrated if I want to take my current pre out of the mix. So 4-8 weeks is workable.

So back on topic, I sent these guys a message today. Last Friday I went to turn on the M-22 and it wouldn't power up. I had intended to have it refurbished by them anyway, so I guess now is the time. But I wanted to see if I could drop it off instead of shipping it since they are in the Chicago area.

Listen to Dr. Mikey

Whiskey.... STAT!! Get better lil bro.

Thanks. Now I'm just my plain old ugly self.

It was an awesome time and you are right, I am a very lucky man.

Spent quality time with Al, Jim, Ryan, Allison, John & Debbie last night at FFF. Debbie is now whipping up some breakfast so we don't send Jim & Al out on the road hungry.

Happy Birthday!

Crab cake with grapefruit purée. And a Behemoth.

Chicken liver crostini with cured egg yolk and parsley. FFF.

Debbie made an excellent chuck roast braised in brewed coffee and balsamic vinegar. That was accompanied by roasted carrots, fingerling potatoes and cremini mushrooms. Now enjoying a glass of Graham's Six Grapes Reserve Porto.

Done. And agreed - cool idea.

Just had ginger spiced bison meatballs in a romesco sauce with fried kale chips for starters. Main will be a carbonnade with chive spaetzle, arugula and radish. FFF have really kicked the kitchen into high gear.

Specifically, Supper's Ready.

All of this crap makes me wonder what kind of a raping we'll be in for with the regular general admission tickets...

Happy Birthday!
