A "real" head-fier would listen before taking photos.

Thank goodness, then, that Miguel and Larry are not "real" head-fiers. Those CNC-routed, hand-selected, hand-finished chunks of gorgeous wood aren't just another extruded aluminum case, are they?

Rodger that Ken. My mission keeps me inside the wire. The job of an 11B is for a young soldier. Besides, I love being a signal soldier.
Yes, very nice pics Miguel. Is it September yet?
