How I spent my New Year's eve.

[Rajoo]

I had a borrowed 500C for a while and it could barely move my DQ-20's, which both Mac and the Scott drive with ease. I have a pair of EPI 100's that I will need to bring home.
The 400 I got yesterday is totally rebuilt with new tubes by a retired engineer and audio geek. I don't expect any issues and if I do, I know whee to take it.

[icenine]

The EPIs should be fine with it

those output trannies put out a lot of bass for a tube amp
too bad the 7868s are so expensive...

I will stick with my Jolida and Maggies for now

No martinis but I headed down to the local Hi Times hootch store in search of Weller 12 year old bourbon, they were out but the nice gal down there took my name and number with a promise of a call when they get some in.
So, I wandered crestfallen down into their ample wine cellar and picked up a bottle of '10 Cha. Carbonnieux Bordeaux vino that was greatly enjoyed with dinner. I stopped by BevMo and struck out again on the Weller 12 but another customer talked me in to a bottle of Basil Hayden's bourbon. Not too shabby for Kentucky hootch.

Patty is more the martini type, she discovered Bombay Sapphire recently. That's her favorite poison, which is yours?

I'll have to see if she has the recipe written down anywhere as she tends to cook al fresco without the usual measuring spoons, etc.

Got hooked on Tanqueray a few years back. The glasses were in a set of Waterford crystal we got with Amex points,

Beam I got myself off that addiction.

I have a tolerant wife and I was loading up the house with equipment
I was not using. Units were falling out of the closets. The irony...I was spending
a lot of time listening to music through the inbuilt speakers on my computer.

Finally I decide to act. I start by selling my most precious...the often sought and scarce Radio Craftsmen C500.

The missus wanted to dance NYE so I fired up the Klipsh/Kenwood system in my play room and we danced, had a couple bottles of Mumms and some chilled Tiger shrimp and a nice fattie I'd procured for the evening. All was going well until the missus, a goof if there ever was one started in on her cockney slut routine and got me laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath, so naturally I passed out cold.

I damaged my head on another bar stool on the way down to the floor and the poor missus, she thought she'd killed me.

I recovered quickly but the evening was kinda shot after that.....

Sorry about the head. I certainly hope everything is fine now.

That's GREAT! What a story to tell the Grandkids. (When they get older of course.)

If you know how to play poker, you would be a welcome addition at beer camp.

When I was a young boy my grandmother and I would play poker evry day after school. I am talking 1st and 2nd grade.

She played to win, cheating and all.

No joke. I have to chuckle thinking back.
