Claire baked and built, but I frosted and toasted-coconuted this coconut layer cake with rum syrup, vanilla bean pastry creme filling and butter cream frosting. Pretty, if I do say so myself (even though it needs to set in the fridge and get cleaned up a bit).

Well?

Excellent choice.

That looks amazing. Glad you guys got together. A little grilled veg and dry aged New York loin strip. Nom Nom Nom

Thanks for the well wishes, gang. God has gone all out in arranging a spectacle for my big day -- while it is always the first day of Spring, today there is also a Supermoon and a total eclipse of the heart sun. Wow, 52 didn't seem like an important milestone, but apparently I was wrong. Cheers all!

Nice!

Fitears is the answer, Laxx. Go to Malaysia and get some.

Wow, you have noticed that most of the 600+ million people in southeast asia are not fans of JH Audio sound? I have noticed that JH Audio is making a shitload of money selling to Asia -- including you (great deal) -- but maybe Fitears is really where its at. I thought you said you were going to go back to lurking, not trolling another product in a thread about JH Audio.

Sounds like the porn version.

RIP TOTO bass man.

I actually watched the race yesterday when I determined that the last stage of the Paris-Nice cycling race was not recorded or available on demand for some mysterious reason. I can't say that I'm a convert -- and I imagine other races have more tension and drama other than the epic number of fails -- but it was cool to see a 17 yo kid racing (even if he had to abandon)!

RIP Gene Gene the Dancing Machine Patton.

Dislike!

We'd have to finish off your open stockpile before heading to Chicago! When do we get back to work?

If Kerry's amp is still available buy it. I am the proud owner of a DIYT2 he built for me and it is amazing. If that doesn't work out, and you cannot afford the HeadAmp BHSE, then go to Mjolnir Audio and see what Spritzer is selling or has coming up.

Or an amaretto sour...

I am not sure of your concern other than space but I don't think there is a health and safety worry on any of it. If there are things you want to pitch to make room for other things, that is totally up to you. But I have creme de cassis (16%) and ginger liqueur (18%) and Allspice Dram (22.5%) that I have no concerns about after years of being open. Velvet Falernum (11%) gets sediment at the bottom after awhile but I have never experienced ill effects of making a Corn-N-Oil or whatever with it.

You don't have to throw away any of that stuff, Shelly. Nothing you described above like pear liqueur and Ramazotti should be pitched for the sake of age. Liqueurs last a very long time without ever being "spoiled" or unhealthy in some way. I have open bottles of my own that are many years old and they taste fine and have no issues other than a possible softening of flavors. I also just recently finished off a Grand Marnier that my grandfather had purchased decades ago. I also kick myself now for throwing away some Galliano and other random liqueurs my grandfather had left in the house.

Do school girls get excited about F1?

Tell me when you reach the end because I am curious what you think.

Our little Ryan is 30?! I can't believe it. I hope to see you soon to toast on three decades of awesome but in the meantime come and hang with your HC buddies online every once in awhile! Cheers!

Bryan's, obviously.
