tyrion Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Yeah, I got back out for the first time in a long time last year and realized how much I'd missed it. My old skis were spanked and I got a hell of a deal on the AC's, 60% off. Odd to buy skis from Arizona but the price was right. Have fun with them? One of the advantages, actually the only advantage, to living where you do is easy access to skiing. A 25 rose bouquet for my wife.
crappyjones123 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 I need to get one of those within a week mike. Where did you get them from if you don't mind sharing.
tyrion Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 http://www.renasflowersofmerritt.com/. They are in Plantation.
ujamerstand Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 These for my niece. Not the baby. The beanies.
bhjazz Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 Nice! I miss skiing. Me, too. I think the last time I did was...let's see...1992? Ouch. Looks like nice stuff, Nate. Congrats!
NightWoundsTime Posted November 9, 2011 Report Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Got the little guy on the left. Been brewing all-grain from the start and it's time to get a fresher grind than having them do it in the store, usually a day or two before brewing. That's without mentioning the quality of the grind from their well-used device. Also a variety of these guys, oak infusion spirals. Apparently has the same effect as a barrel and completes its work in 6 weeks. Picked up some french and american sticks with different toast levels. Lots of options.

grawk Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 the olde school needs to age, it's definitely too hot when fresh I just bought a pound of dice for my kids
livewire Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Pink Floyd 2011 Remastered CDs. DSOM, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Wall. Boy-o-boy these sound great! Big improvement, especially with vocals.
raffy Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 the olde school needs to age, it's definitely too hot when fresh Thanks Dan, that's what my buddy at my local said too. Good for now but needs aging to smoothen out
grawk Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 I was disappointed when it was fresh, it got MUCH better after 6 months.
Augsburger Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Skullcandy Aviators for my son based upon Tyll's Innerfidelity review. My son won't listen to me but he listened to Tyll. All the young kids in his age group rave about the Dres and funnily enough there is a great war going on with the Skull Candy fans versus the Dre fans. None of the kids have ever heard anything else let alone done some serious listening comparisons, but that doesn't stop them, the know their phones are the bestest. I am making great progress, I just need to stop him before he discovers the Blue Hawaii and 009s.
HeadphoneAddict Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 D-link 8-port and 5-port gigabit switches. I'm getting some parts of the house wired for ethernet tomorrow. We really should have done this when we built the house (stupid). I have a friend who owns the company doing the wiring, and so it will be cheaper than installing AC powerline networking adapters all around the house. And with the job I'll get an intercom between the kitchen and basement theater room as well, so we don't have to scream at the kids to come up when we need them. I'm looking forward to faster transfers between computers, NAS and our 1st gen Apple TVs. Even the PS3 and Xbox 360 should see an improvement when streaming video from my NAS or Twonky on the iMac. Our WiFi router is two floors away from the game systems, and we still get stuttering video even with an Airport Express as an extender. I'll now be able to move one of our Airport Extremes to the basement as an access point, and connect it to the 8-port switch so we'll have strong and fast WiFi down there.
tyrion Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 I have a 4 pack of Olde School in the fridge. I will give one a try and let the others rest.
emelius Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 there are instructions on the bottle....RTFM:)....
manaox2 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 I have a 4 pack of Olde School in the fridge. I will give one a try and let the others rest. Same here, have about two weeks down. My Stone barley wines have about 7 months on them now and my collection of stouts have been aged about a year, I'll have to take a picture soon.
Augsburger Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 See perhaps you guys will start to appreciate the work we wine drinkers go through to max out the goodness of our beverages. I never would have thought brewskies needed aging perhaps you guys should consider cellering buildout options for your man caves?
shellylh Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 Peak/Volcano arrived today! Hopefully I'll get some time to set up and have a listen.
Voltron Posted November 10, 2011 Report Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Enjoy! *smilies seem bonked, on my computer anyway. Edited November 10, 2011 by Voltron

I was just going to get a cheapish wine cooler for my brews while I am still renting.

I never would have thought brewskies needed aging perhaps you guys should consider cellering buildout options for your man caves? How about aged cocktails? I just got this newsletter via email from 'Craft Distillers/Caddell-Williams': http://hosted.verticalresponse.com/164580/724fa9cef7/1476540381/7245f8e4a4/ 'We have some new and AMAZING stuff at www.caddellwilliams.com! If you have been in a trendy bar recently, you maybe got offered a barrel-aged cocktail, the work of individual bartenders. I started noticing them early this year, and in May talked with Crispin Cain and Joe Corley, out at the distillery. If anyone is good at blending and aging spirits, it’s them. Something great happens when you allow the ingredients in a good cocktail time to integrate and to deepen by interaction over time. Our first trials made our jaws drop. Next we spent four months experimenting with recipes suggested by SF bartender Darren Crawford. Devin Cain (Crispin’s son) made several creative suggestions and did much work deriving the ultimate blends.' Peak/Volcano arrived today! Hopefully I'll get some time to set up and have a listen. Awesome! Edited November 10, 2011 by jvlgato
Salt Peanuts Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Not really bought, but made the final payment for penalty resulting from a speeding ticket I got three years ago in NY.
RudeWolf Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 Waiting for something to get delivered is pure torture... I'm pretty sure that all initial listening impressions will be seriously distorted. Heck, I'll rip the package open in the post office! The waiting is killing me!
balderon Posted November 11, 2011 Report Posted November 11, 2011 5 early 1940's 6SN7GT/VT-231 Tung Sol Round Plate. Triodes were reasonably matched and most were pretty strong. Purchased for a great price although the base was cracked on each one.
