What say ye, GOF's? What's on the schedule this weekend? @beans-on-toast I hope @agedhorse 's horses aren't allergic to hay! :bag:

Thank you @BassmanPaul and @GonePlaid and anyone I might have missed for kind words. @Passinwind sorry I'll miss you at the GTG this weekend.

Yeah, bummer Will. But getting a grip on Carey's environmental allergies is a lot more important, and at least you guys are on the way to doing that now.

At the Seattle GTG tomorrow I'll be showing a few new onboard preamp builds. I never get tired of hearing and seeing people play through stuff I had a hand in building or designing. But these GTGs are all about the people, not the gear. We'll raise a toast to you Will.

ALB how's your schweadthot doing?
Hey @BadExample ! She is doing a little better today. Still sleeping a lot. But she's taking those heavy duty steroids where you start a high dosage and reduce by the day. I can tell her breathing is a lot better and she's not as tense from being tired all the time. she just ordered me to cook up the pork chops for dinner she pulled from the freezer so that's a good sign. Thanks for asking! How are you and yours?

This is an example of a pork chop I get from a vendor at the South Florida Fair each January. I get about 6 to 8 during 3-4 visits to the fair and do w/o the rest of the year. They smoke them. MMMMMMMMM

Doing well. We finally have some cool weather, along with a lot of rain.

I will have to be on my death bed to take those nasty steroids again. But for those that can tolerate them, they can be a Godsend.

Give her a hug for us and try to stay out of trouble for her sake :D Great to hear she's getting better now.
I'm sticking to her like glue for the week bro @BadExample . :thumbsup:
 
Doing a little catching up here....
On the topic of glasses they suck. The sun's just going down this evening and I'm walking my dog along the dike. I couldn't find my glasses...how can you find the damned things once you've taken them off? Remember where you set them down? Yeah, right....anyhow I'm out there in the deepening dusk maybe half a mile with no glasses and I see this really big dog coming down the dike. So I turn to Otis to say, "Jeez Otis that's a big ****in' dog" but he's stopped 2-3 paces behind me starting to growl at this "dog"....that's really a bear. Glasses suck but so do no glasses.

On the topic of "This Page Intentionally Left Blank" whenever I get a document with that in it (usually 3-5 a day at work) I nap on the clock for ten minutes per page. That kind of stupidity makes me tired.

On the topic if the Seattle GTG woulda liked to have been able to go. They always sound like good ones.

On the topic of pork chops. Wanting a pork chop is a good thing.
 
Pork Chop is a good name for a dog. The problem is, when you call that name, all dogs come running.

T-bone and Tator Salad works here. No one eating T-bones in my neighborhood. I do get Ron White fans coming by when I call Tator though.
Food pics? That’s what Facebook is for
Where you been, Ken? Forget to pay the electric bill? Traveling? Recruited by the school to come out of retirement and beat some sense into the youth? Abducted by aliens? Recalled for some black ops again?

Prepared answer: My iPad development a nasty glitch on the last IOS upgrade, locking me out of all password protected sites without reauthorization or reregistration.

Real answer: I put the thing into anonymous mode at one point, got used to it, and got flustered every time I was asked to log in someplace. Haven’t posted anywhere except FB in sometime until the “gawd I’m such an idiot” moment earlier
