[D][<)][^][G] Happy Birthday Ace!

[Y] As Dee said.....Be safe Paul.

Funny just a month ago I bought Greatest Hits and Back To Earth off ebay. Both are sealed. One has a sticker on the front that says 2for$1.00[:|] I paid $10 each.

Heard that 5 o'clock whistle. Weekends here and finds me with a depleted licquor cabinet. The choice is Ketel One vodka or an inexpensive single malt scotch. You're making me thirsty with that Makers Mark Groomy. Heard a cut from a CD on the car radio at lunch...a group from Raleigh, NC called American Aquarium. I just ordered their 3 CDs plus a box set from Tom Waits.... Orphans. Disc 3 has a song called Long Way Home that I really like. Been having trouble with internet service so before I fall off again.....Cheers gentlemen.

Give me 3 weeks notice and we can make it a NC get together. Winchester, Idratherhunt, Bluesboy, Spongeworthy, UFObuster, Chilibone, NCSharkdriver....you guys up to it? I can host.

Good luck Ace. Post pics when you get them.

Hey Stew....you sound better[] Hope the stress has decreased but man you have had a rough 2 years! Hang in there bud. Ace....glad you are up and running with your music. Sorry about the job interview....their loss. Good to see Idratherhunt and winchester back at the bar. Missed you guys! Will have to drive to Charlotte when winchester finds his amps. Ben....those soft drinks are not good for you[] Thanks for the inquires about my wife....Julia. She continues to improve. Cheers gentlemen!

Cheers back Ace. Hope the job interview pans out. Don't know where winchester is hibernating.....but he needs to get his butt back to the bar. Ben....you and Stew still around? Cheers gents!

Cold here for these old Carolina bones....high of 38 today. A couple of Jack blacks and a glass of a nice red. Playing the HK A500....newly retubed in the front end with some gold pin Electro Harmonic 12AX7s. Wish you all were here to hear it. Told Oldbuckster once that it kicks my Quicksilver preamp and horn monos butt. I still believe it. What did they do to tube equipment in the 60s....Scott, Harmon Kardon, Fisher, Pilot, Heathkit that sounds so right? Accurate....I don't know....good....you bet your bippy! Listend to everbody from Neil Young to Josh Groban to Buddy Guy to Emmy Lou Harris. Bien!!! Cheers to all the fine gentlemen that frequent the 3 minutes to Miller time bar.

[<)][^][D] Have a good one D. Dee!

Good review Jim. How about giving Bodhi a pat on the head for me.

Couldn't really tell from your post.....but I'm guessing you are ready for Chuck to start[]

That was a great read Dan. Hope you stick around.

Nice....love a wood fire. A Ketel One martini to wash down the hot buttered rum. Panthers are looking good of late. Negotiating with JB about buying the rights to this thread since he has abandoned us[] Cheers!

Watching the Panthers blowing out the Saints....go figure. Wife suggested hot buttered rum for cocktail hour since it is cold for this neck of the woods....sounds good to me. Cheers and Happy New Year!

[Y][&].....LOL

You have a bit of a headstart on us.....whats the new year like?

I'm with you pesh. Usually go to a friends open house every new years day and have a bowl or two. Good luck to you!

Yeah...the Panthers and the Bears had a little life left. Getting ready for a glass of something red and later maybe watch No Country For Old Men for the second time. Its on USA channel.....hope they don't edit the good parts out[] Cheers!

Say what? If they had played all season the way they did today and against the Vikings we coulda been a contenda[:S] Have one on me big guy!

Thats exactly what I need to beat the winter blahs.....thanks groomy[]

If you get that close to the Port City drop me a line and we can spin some vinyl. Good luck in your search.

How about sharing your recipe big guy. I have some bourban here. The little lady cooked a great meal...enough for an army. Bluesboy came over later with the remastered Abbey Road and we gave that a spin. Not bad. Hope everyone had a great holiday. Cheers!

Its probably true that you guys on "updates and Modifications" do the heavy lifting here. I have learned a lot just from dropping in from time to time. Keep tinkering and never leave well enough alone. We all benefit from your efforts. Merry Christmas!

[^][G].....have a great one Christy!
