Vickie, I never thought of that. My hand was forced by the landscaping guys misinterpreting my request that they trim back some plantings into " rip out every damn thing you see that isn't a rock". I guess I am now going to be labeled herp friendly, or I can dust the rocks with a can of cayenne pepper.

Am I the only one who sees Mike's avatar on the chicken breast? Look closely.......

I suspect it has been Doc's philosophy with these HP amps to make them as simple as possible to build, that is purpose for the top mounted jacks and IEC IMHO. No drilling holes into the side of the case and I believe all parts of the amp are attached to the top plate and the top just drops down onto the wooden base. Simplicity at it's best.

'hunerd dollars of landscaping rocks and twenty dollars of sand. Well the Getty museum had to start somewhere ya know. Lugging forty pound rocks around the yard is not really very much fun.

woohoo Naaman, have a safe one. Good luck with the delivery.

Great to read Steve, I have been waiting to see if the honeymoon effect on your new amp would take hold. Ever since you clued me in at CanJam I have been wondering how they would stack up against my Trafomatic. I feel the FORCE.....

You were grandfathered in because you are cool and because you wouldn't make the mistake the op is currently making, and because you are cool.

Happy Birthday to you!

Yeah, those are kind of tasty, wish I hadn't forgotten mine when we went to the beach last week. After the first night I just lost my urge to indulge any more.

David, You might try asking your mom what the primary purpose will be for the computer. My guess would be scheduling classes and instructors, billing and payments, that is all I ever see the staff using computers for at my daughter's studio. So since the number crunching tasks are minimal would she need the i5 or i7 chip?

Well since we are talking about older gear, not you Ken, what harm is there in a bump of an old post it was helpful to Ken after all? As long as it isn't a shill post that is.

I have no immediate use for them since the M8 thread is too big but I can't resist a group buy. I'm in for 16 please, I can always install them under the granite plates I have stored in my bedroom waiting for the next great idea.

Wow Al, sounds fantastic, but wont the beer need to be trucked in from FFFs???

Dan are they doing the RAST blood test as well? We have found the skin tests tended to throw off more false positives or at least show a high allergic reaction for environmental substances that were basically benign. The RAST test can overstate ones sensitivity but at least it gives you a quantitative reading which my wife and our allergist prefer. Just my two cents. I would be interested in the substances you test high positive with and if it would indicate changing your diet. Wheat barley and other grain sensitivities would be a bummer for you.

Double god move let us know what you think. For the very brief time I had the Neko Dac I thought it was very good. Monkey, if I had taken numbs to the vet it would have cost me even more in vinyl. John is the HC gateway drug to audio perdition.............

$375 in vet bills and a $250 traffic citation for talking to JP#'s on my Droid. Bad afternoon only getting worse. Thursday I am going shopping at my local bike shop to cheer myself up.

Happy Birthday Pete!

Well technically last week..... Right off our balcony in Laguna Beach, very restful and relaxing. http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/5821/img0670hx.jpg' alt='img0670hx.jpg'> lots of dolphins and sea lions too.

dew et............

Try slow frying vidalia onions in olive or canola oil, works for me.

That sucks Naaman! Hopefully good sense in the command will win out. Sorry to read about your buddy Steve, hoping you both have better news at the vet.

Yeah, I remember Boston and ski weekend debauchery; forever linked in my memories even when I am in the nursing home drooling over my morning cup of oatmeal.

Electric Light Orchestra........ someone pass me the bong. The ULN-8 made me do this.

Happy B-day Todd!
