I was always scared of him and still am a little…

This is a movie for you to face your fear of Santa.


The pernil was nearly done in the picture below. I was slinging tostones and arroz con frijoles rojo (no gandules because my sister is allergic to pigeon peas) for a furious finish. No one went home hungry and the house smelled of roast pork and garlic.

Santa didn't forget me - got 3 pairs of warm winter socks - and a bunch of small 'tester' cologne's from some fancy French fashion house - told some guys in chat here - and one smart Alec says ' Cologne is for gay dudes' - so I offered to send the gift on to him -

Warm cozy socks and foo-foo samples are the best gifts ever Maybe Santa brought Alec something manly like an unscented bar of soap and a scrub brush. Glad you had a nice Christmas. Did you get to sample the chocolate oranges in the kids stockings?

Be 63 in a few months This was the worst Christmas of my life (((recently got a bad diagnosis))) … I’m in New York State it’s become a catastrophe for small scale wholesale grocers such as myself the bud market has shrank& I’ve seen Wholesale prices drop of the cliff ..custom craft buds have become meaningless to wholesale buyers who can get ”commercial style” packs at $1200 or less … outdoor is between 500 and $800 a pound case closed these kind of prices are not good for people such as myself at the moment i’ve been doing this for 25 years and now I’m literally sick and tired…

I hope your bad diagnosis is something you can deal with. All the craft growers I know are going thru the same thing as you with the prices going down and some folks not caring much about the craft thing. Hopefully you can find a notch in the whole thing to pull you thru

Naked snow angels?

Better get the butt sized chapstick ready!

I’ve heard that doing naked snow angels can reduce you butt size 1% for each minute you do it.

I remember my brothers Mac weighed a ton

My largest one is built on the circuit of (and output transformers of ) a McIntosh 230 tube amp. Actually, the 230 was an integrated amp, I skipped the preamp section. The 230 was only a 30 watt amp at most, and I needed about double that. So I raised the B+ rails to 600 volts. I added another circuit that used 1/2 of a 12ax7a and a 6l6 tube to regulate voltages to the front end only.

This amp is detailed in an article in a Glass Audio magazine from the 90's entitled "70 watts of McIntosh power."

It was powerful (still is) for a tube amp, and could drive most anything. A pair of Martin Loan planer speakers made the needles on the bias swing pretty good, but it drove them! Most fun was hooked up to a pair of Altec A7 voice of the theatre speakers. About as old school as you could get. The amp was overkill for those, 5 watts could make your ears bleed.

Only owned one McIntosh, the Mc 225. Beautiful amplifier, I swore I would never part with it. I bought it dead, rebuilt the entire thing on info from the area McIntosh dealers tech.

Then one day I discovered Nelson Pass and Jfets. Never looked back. So taken, I sold the Mc225!

Oh, that big amp I built? It's power supply is on an umbilical connection, the power supply alone is larger and weighs more than most any modern or old time amps. You could not disconnect it, so to move it, you moved one as far as the umbilical would allow, set it down, move the other part, repeat.
