The last couple of weekends in May could work for me -have some Audio Technica gear that I could bring as well. 

Seeing these pictures makes me want to pick up a macro lens so badly!  If only the Mrs. would give me permission...

You could try switching the opamp in the card as well if you haven't already. 

 

^^Haven't been to Big Bear since being stationed in 29Palms years ago -was a nice place to ski!  Whatever you buy with your cash can count as a gift John :-P

  I got a ski trip to Hokkaido for Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Fujisan -will post a few more pics after getting back from Hokkaido in a few days.

It's a program called DeskScapes. It's a part of Stardock's Object Desktop.  I don't think I'll ever go back to a static desktop again after being spoiled with this.   http://www.stardock.com/products/deskscapes/    

      Animated desktops are great!

The majority of Audio Technica headphones (take your pick)

Emmerdale -The Cardigans   That's about as close as it gets for me under the criteria for the thread.  There are albums I like more than this (Sgt. Pepper, August & Everything After, etc.) but this is the only album where I greatly enjoy the sounds of EVERY track.

Mine is Dr. Aru, who appeared on Japanese television a while back.  I thought the concept of an educated crocodile was just too cool.

Here it is!

Optical cable!

Was a "barracks barber" in the Marines a while back -been cutting my own hair since I was about 15 and have gotten fairly good with a razer -by my standards at least.  I wouldn't mind getting one of those flobees that Uncle Erik mentioned in the future.  That would most likely remedy the issue...

^Actually, I'm south of you right now (outside of Jackson).  There was a lot of unexpected solar activity last week, so the aurora was viewable as far south as Alabama!

  Staying in Michigan has its perks!

  It's not a great photograph, but it captures an entertaining moment pretty well I think.
