Happy Birthday

You can buy the mosfets from AMB according to the sigma page.

You've probably already looked, but is there any chance that they are in your recycle bin?

Yes, but the only glass, removable things on the ZD are tubes. The :basement: was just poking fun too, not meant to be taken seriously. Still friends?

:basement:

Don't worry, they're removable.

I don't know. In the west, both Detroit and, surprisingly, Anaheim look like they can handle anybody.

Jude really likes the RSA sound. You must consider that when reading his reviews and deciding how the UUT (unit under test) might sound to you.

Doesn't that come from chasing sheep?

The biggest cost of your order will probably be the shipping. I suggest that you look at the BOM and also order spares for other potentially damaged parts while you are at it. Buying parts as you need them is cost prohibitive.

Forget the crap. There will be plenty of crap there without yours. Just get your butt there.

I see the server is at Chicago. Maybe they just got a new RSA A-10 Thunderbolt II combo headamp/router.

and take the Giants and Raiders with you.

If you can't be good, try to be shocking.

Dinny definitely has special needs.

One of the things I miss when I lived in MA is going for ice cream. I used to mostly go to Kimball's Farm in Westford and Bate's Farm in Carlisle. It looks like Kimball's may have bought Bate's some place along the way.

Me too. It's on my list of movies that I find really entertaining that got poor to mediocre reviews. Other movies on this list are Dogma and Ground Hog Day.

B.B. King at the Canyon Club, Agoura Hills, CA. Rachel Cantu opened for B.B. She played guitar and had one other guitarist as accompaniment. She played mostly a slow, country style. I think that she has a nice voice and talent, but I just couldn't get into her music. That's surprising as I tend to really like this style of music. Later, the B.B. King Band opened without B. and played two pieces. They are a group of older blues and jazz musicians and definitely have their act together. Then B. walked out. He barely made the seat that was set up for him. He proceeded to joke, talk and perform for almost two hours. B.B. King still has his charisma, voice and guitar talent. It was an extremely enjoyable concert. If you have a change to see B. live, I highly recommend it. He and his band put on a great show. But don't wait, he's 83 and the diabetes is definitely affecting his ability to walk. One never knows how many concerts he has left in him. So make the effort to see him while you still can.

Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood and Middle Cyclone After hearing so much about Ms. Case, I decided to give her a listen. I really like her music. Of course, I like the cowboy dead/cowboy noir genre. B.B. King - One Last Favor This is B's latest recording. Stacy picked it up for me at the B.B. King concert we attended.

BAC Lightning You were too impatient for an answer.

If you bring it, they will drink.

This is after you buy the plane ticket to LA, right?

In the Santa Barbara area, either lunch outside on State Street (the main drag) or head into Isla Vista next to UCSB. Either will get you plenty of eye candy. Being in a nice climate, both have many restaurants with year-round outside seating.

The pictures don't do the view justice. We are up (440') on an area behind Santa Barbara proper called "the Riviera" because it looks very much like the cliffs behind the beaches on the French Riviera. We have a 170 degree unobstructed view of the city, the harbor, the beaches and the Channel Islands. It's amazing, especially at night. We are the blurry fog on the left. Santa Barbara is a beach town and we get fog. June and early July is the worst time and the weather then is referred to as "June Gloom". Usually it burns off fairly early but somedays the marine layer is so thick that it doesn't burn off at all. See, we do have weather.
