I just read something about that stuff, so I will see if it is around. The Baysht is supposed to be a little less of a peat smack than the 10yo or the Oogie. Should be able to say for sure this evening.

These two came from K&L Wines in SF. They have a website and describe their shipping policy here. I found the Willett Iron Fist 23yo rye online at a DC shop called Ace Beverage. If you want to pick up the Velvet Glove to go with my Iron Fist next week, then check in with The Wine Specialist, which is also in DC, and see if they can ship to Matt or something.

Willett Potstill Single Barrel Estate Reserve Bourbon. 8-10 yrs old, 94 proof, and damn fine tasting. Very much looking forward to the Iron Fist 23yo rye that Dreadhead is picking up for me from DC and bringing to the Tampa meet. 1990 Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist Islay Single Malt Whisky. When I was getting the Willett, I had to check out the Scotch selection and this Ardbeg caught my eye standing next to the Oogie. It was bottled the year I was admitted to the bar, and they only had one bottle so I went with it. Can't wait to try it tonight, but I went with the Willett last night.

Arkansas passed a measure banning unmarried couples living together from serving as adoptive or foster parents with a 57% vote. Not sure if singles can, but it would seem like it given the language. The supporting group, the Arkansas Family Council, said its proposal was a battle against a "gay agenda."

It passed the last time with over 60% so we somehow got closer to being enlightened. It passed this time because a bunch of fucking intolerant out of state assholes came here and spent gobs of millions of dollars on a mis-information campaign that scared a bunch of stupid people living outside the civilized parts of the state.

Nobody suggested that you deleted posts or acted inappropriately in closing the thread. The problem is that Reks went in and posted three separate comments including calling a member Bill O'Reilley! Oh, and Goebbels, too. You can't use a double standard for thick skins...

Yeah, I thought about that pic but then the republican/elephant theme took over. Oh, and by the way, it does seem uncool to allow the mods to keep taking shots and responding to comments while the thread is locked. Either lock it or let it fly. I don't always feel that way about locked threads and funny mod after-thoughts, but this seems a bit different.

I guess the mods win . . .

blah, blah, and blah Cynical is an understatement on an undeniably historic evening. Fuck yeah, indeed!

Indeed!

I have the AV8 and DV39 at home too. Good stuff! Not yet, because this is going to be there first, with a black lacquered faceplate : Thanks again guys.

Obama takes Virginia, he does. Very strong with the force is he.

Cast a historic vote or two and worked. Having an election night party to watch returns and hopefully celebrate for a change (so to speak ). Get out and vote, whoever and whatever you support!

No stands. Not sure how I am setting up speakers yet, but probably on a table top. Might get small stands or Auralex pads. I like the Core Audio stands and I think JP might have bought some for his place. If you check out the website, there is a picture of my main rig with 3 Core racks on the main page! The owner is a really great guy with a serious headphone and amp collection (Orpheus, Stax, etc., etc.). Thanks dudes.

Two packages just arrived from TTVJ with a family-friendly music setup for Mayberry: Arcam Solo Mini Epos ELS3 Mini Monitors Sweet!

That's great Laine. Both of my kids (13 and 10) were annoying the crap out of me today (moreso the 13 yo to be honest) so it is nice to remember when they were cute.

Instead of the octopus of various cables, Nate, among others, has fabricated a quality break-out cable for connecting ICs.

HELP! I've bought booze and I can't pick it up! OK, so I just bought a bottle of hard to find rye whiskey from a shop in Washington, D.C. and I need somebody to pick it up and either ship it to somebody in Fla. or carry it with them to the meet. Who is coming from that area? Grawk says no go. Grand Enigma, you coming? Justin? Bueller? Anyone? The one who helps me out can get a taste and then send it along or gets first dibs if present at the meet. It looks like this here:

He's probably seen that a thousand times, but does Ian just jizz automatically when he sees that video?

Damn, I thought the Duet was way smaller than I expected. Now you need a proper breakout cable.

I don't like the handle or the weight or the look of the Global knives, but the Shuns are more interesting. I have been meaning to get a santoku style for awhile but never pulled the trigger. Need some for MOA, so maybe Japanese will be the way to go. Hai!

Dew Eet!
