3 cups of booze laden coffee

Am I drunk?

If the coffee is hot, probably not. Water boils at 100 C and ethanol boils at about 78 C. Of course, that's not the only factor in how the alcohol content is affected; to get the whole story, you need to look at the Henry's Law Coefficient for ethanol (corrected for the temperature of the coffee). But I digress...

The EQ looks well worth that price.

If you try to drink coffee at 100 degrees C you will scald the crap out of yourself, and the boiling point of ethanol is what you say only if it is undiluted.

To coffee and Carolan's I like to add a splash of Xtabentun, which is a Mayan liqueur made from anise and honey.

As to the EQ, I'd jump on it. Few tools have as much general utility as an EQ.
 
tube hell bites.
My old B115 tilt-back just went this past weekend, and it gets a lotta use.
Wife of Nojj already gave me the thumbs up to replace it, so after picking myself up off the floor and closing my dropped jaw, I'm shopping around for a replacement.

Luckily I think I just got a bad tube, which means I will be buying 3 matched 6550s.
