Happy birthday to Alan & Darius. Here's to wishin' both you guys a totally happy birthday and an awesome, and headphone filled, year ahead. Sorry your birthdays fell on a Monday, so hopefully it worked out for a long weekend.

Have a good day, and a better night!

Alan- we are practically neighbors... not too many from this corner of the US, it seems.

Caught it with a few short hours to spare...

Happy birthday, dariusf!

Happy Birthday spaceman!! And many more to come.

Thanks! its OK its Monday, I don't celebrate my birthday for a long time other then my wife and parents always remembering... We had our twins baptized yesterday so it was a super busy 4 day weekend. How's your Stax and the weather in Ecuador or are you back in the states?

Hey Thanks Guys! Unfortunately, I am working tonight, but I had a great time on the weekend with my wife and friend. Hey Voodoo, my sister-in-law lives in Bedford, and my parnets are up in Bartlett, so I'm in NH quite often. Look forward to another great year at Head-Fi. Oh, I did buy myself a new Sony SCD222ES, and I'll probably send out for a mod after the new year.

Congrats again on the beautiful twins. I'm sure you guys have your hands full with them right now. Lots of diaper changes and feedings going down all the time. Sheesh, one at a time is enough for most people, but you are an overachiever.

We're still in Ecuador and will be for almost another year. We'' return in September of 2004 for a few months before returning. The Stax are fine but the weather is quite chilly. We got a lot of rain today which means it is cold in the house. There's no central heating or air down here, so whatever the local climate is that's what you get in your apartment. We've considered a small gass powered heater to run in the bedroom or living room at night, but at $150 we'll see about that. It only gets cold for a couple of months here, so it might not be worth it. It is normally right around 70 degrees here in the apartment, but when it rains it will drop to and hover at 62-65 for weeks at a time. Brrrrrrr.

The twins are doing great, growing really fast. They are 5.5 months now and the boy is now rolling over all the time on to his stomach. He still needs to learn how to roll back

They smile out loud allot and its allot of fun. They sure have their bad days some times and the crying can get bad especially in the 'stereo' mode

It is allot of hard work, feedings and diapers but it all a small price to pay for the joy they bring.

Happy birthday spaceman, I also got a new CD player for my birthday

the Philips 963SA, its on the way. I did miss a great buy on the Grado HP2s from Ross

Was too busy to get back to him today and he already posted and sold it to another headfier

maybe next time, but the RS1 is on the way from Large4mat so I guess it somewhat makes up for it.

Happy birthday Darius!! Glad to hear you and your family are doing well.

Let me know how that 963 works out for you, I may have to pick up a new source sometime soon too.

Well I liked it allot at the last two meetings and at $300 used its a steal

I might be selling my NAD 521 soon.

Got to get some sleep now, good thing I'm 'working' from home tomorrow. Well at least between the feedings, diaper changes, cooking dinner etc.

got to help the wife. I might even find some time for headphones!

Hey, I think I know your sister! I buy paper from her almost every afternoon (PRINTING)

. Bartlett... that's impressively north-woodsy... sheesh. I lived in Limestone, at Loring AFB in the early 70s.

Perhaps someday we can have the world's smallest mini-meet.
