I'm bringing a spare source for Frank Cooter to use. I have some spare interconnects, but could not find a spare IEC power cord. Could somebody please bring a spare? See you later this morning.

I hope that this doesn't surprise you, Al. Happy Birthday Nenso.

troymadison is no more on HC.

Everybody loves Polka!

Happy Birthday Peter. See you tomorrow.

You guys would be better off asking Vinny of Red Wine Audio. He's the technical guy here and probably could give a technical answer.

Sears General Purpose Hand Riveter

Is that all? I was expecting a large turnout.

Will he get there before 4, for once?

Matt modded my Eastsound E5. He did very nice work. You can see it here and yes, that's my E5 in the picture. The sound was definitely improved. I got my eXemplar Denon 2900 at the same time. The work in it was not as nice as things get really crowded in the chassis. After comparing the two, for me it wasn't close. The eXemplar trounced the modded E5. Since I listen to headphones a lot more than to speakers these days, I've kept the eXemplar in my headphone setup and the E5 is going into my speaker setup.

Yes, I'm referring to the nut that ties the handlebars to the saddle. IMO, I need to ride as if I'm invisible, because I basically am. I rarely have trouble with assholes and only one person in 18 years of riding has purposely moved into where I was. But as you say, people often just don't register motorcycles in their vision. It's even worse for bicyclists. Instead of getting a cruiser, which is not that maneuverable in traffic and in urban situations, why don't consider a dual sport kind of bike. My around town ride now is a Suzuki DRZ400S with homemade bags. Actually the bags were made by John Chase of Chase and Harper fame, so they are very nice homemade bags. I'll post a picture tomorrow. This is the perfect around town bike. It's easy to ride, keeps up with traffic and gets 60 mpg. Being a dual sport bike, it soaks up huge bumps. It also has a nice, upright seating position. The only problem is that the seat is not comfortable for long term use, but that is easily fixable.

If Manny signs with your team next season, I suspect we'll hear a different tune.

Not me. Do you know what causes the majority of motorcycle crashes? It's the nut holding the handlebars.

We are trying to avoid statins. He put me on Tricor, but it made me feel bad, probably due to drinking alcohol. Since I'm not giving up my wine, whiskey, etc., I gave up the Tricor. I also was taking 2gms/day of fish oil. The fish oil didn't help at all. Now I'm on niacin and 4gms/day. We'll see if that helps. I'm not too worried about it. I had heart attack symptoms in March and went to the emergency room. Among other things, they took pre- and post-stress test real-time pictures of my heart using a radioactive dye. It didn't show any problems with my heart at all. I was eventually diagnosed with "non-cardiac chest pains". They decided that it was probably heart burn.

Happy 29th Birthday Vicki! Have a great one! :prettyprincess:

Mine was 115/70 at my last checkup. Unfortunately my LDL was 420 and it needs to be less than 200. So much for exercise lowering my LDL. It hasn't budged. At least I'm in decent shape now.

Since it's not painted Dodger Blue, we have a good chance of getting objective impressions.

Maybe he preferred to spend some time in San Francisco/Marin rather that at LAX. Why don't you request the Jades? Does Head Direct sell a stat amp to go with them?

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who wished me good luck when I first applied. I'd also like to thank everybody even more for their nice words after I didn't get the job. There are enough opportunities in the area that I'll eventually find something I like. In the meantime, I'll finally be collecting unemployment. Well, until California runs out of money, that is. It's tough. The hiring manager is in Cambridge, MA. If we can't communicate effectively over the phone, then it would not work well if I would have been hired. It is much harder to impress over the phone. Especially for me as I'm a visual person and like to draw diagrams, etc. on white boards when communicating at work. I agree it's difficult and that it's much easier to communicate face-to-face. However, the reality of the high-tech workspace (and others) is a more distributed model. I think it is possibly a big loss for them (I'd have to see the person they did hire), but I understand the risk one takes when hiring and you have to follow your instincts. If that person is in Cambridge, they had the advantage of being able to interview in person. That's why I asked. It would be very useful. However, since I had to call to find out that I was no longer under consideration for the job, I don't have high hopes that the manager will provide a follow up. They aren't morons at all. The hiring manager is an MIT grad and has done good work. I just didn't hit the right chords with him. And he was the only person I interviewed with, so ... But thanks for saying it. I appreciate it.

When they say that one set flew out the car window, then we'll know for sure.

Battle Plan "Flank Attack". I must admit to really liking the Military Channel (MILIT).

On Saturday, while riding from Santa Barbara to Santa Ynez in the morning, we had one of these fly about 200' right over us. It was busy reseeded the areas that were burnt this summer.

I hadn't heard back from Sonos so today I emailed the recruiter to see if I was still under consideration. He said that they decided to go with someone else. I am a really good match for the job, so I obviously didn't impress (at least positively) in my interview. I am rusty at interviewing as I hadn't done it for 11 years or so. I asked if I could talk or correspond via email with the hiring manager to ask what I need to do to improve. We'll see if anything comes from it. Such is life. On to the next opportunity. Dan, I hope that you had better luck.

Congrats Laine. My eXemplar 2900 has most of the same upgrades. I'll be very interested in hearing your opinion as to how your 3910 compares to the ARC that you just sold.

Yes, it looks really great. Have you ever considered doing woodworking for a living?
