Mr. Weldon,
Unfortunately, the "Pentagon Boombox" was auctioned off by order of the Court on 8/21 to pay compensitory damages to the owner of the stolen "Twuck" and can no longer be claimed.
Judge Terry Olsonovavich
Chief Justice,
Cascadian Supreme Court
I'm not sure that this isn't simply related to Cal doing sum woofer testing - buuuuuut I sure hope that everyone is OK up there!!!! Heaven's forbid that anyone's audio rig got tipped over - or the stylus skipped across a treasured LP!!! 
Magnitude-6.4 quake strikes off of Vancouver - The Denver Post
Heck - right now I have enough problems with my Aunt Nona keeping her house above water up in NY state.......

Worse yet, spilled beer!

No use crying over spilled beer - something like that somewhere in my feeble memory........

That's weird, didn't feel a thing.

Sooooooooooooo - where exactly is Cal then?????
Good to hear that there does not seem to be any damage up in your neck of the woods David. Someone needs to tweet the taverns and pubs to make sure that the keg and cases didn't tip over and thus "bruise" the adult beverage inside. Wait a second - my spider senses tingle me that Cal is most likely doing that at this very moment. Always "Johnny on the spot" when it comes to things like making sure the beer is OK.
6.4 they say...
off shore , 20 kms deep?
Better a bunch of small releases than "the Big One". I think Dave's place is pretty well protected...it was off the west coast of VI. If one shook between the mainland and the Island, there could be a completely different outcome. I'm sure in that event, a huge area would be affected as the force of the quake could be channeled both north and south between the Island and the Mainland. I'm sure the Fraser Valley would end up under some water. I'm no geo-physicist, but pretty sure the water would heave before land mass does. Look out Seattle!
Perhaps the "boombox" was "boomed"?

I got 'er back. Luckily the chief Justice didn't notice the high bidder was 'cdublu' ('C.W.' for those phonetically challenged) $50 bucks, heck of a deal. Kinda pi$$ed me off though that $50 was the high bid.
Always better when you add them woofers together.
Hope there's a good ending to that story.
Depends on how much is left. Unfortunately the spilling is directly related to how much has been consumed. ie: ...well you know the math.

Last I saw he was 3 beers into breakfast so I wouldn't expect to see him soon.

Everyone has their role in this world. I'm happy with mine.
Ya, best to call first when visiting. I ended up needing new headlights and a fresh pair of underwear the only time I showed up unannounced. Big mistake. Good thing he's a lousy shot, the radiator and windshield were fine.
I am thinking Daniel did me proud. Will update if that's not the case.
Errrrrr - I think that wuz a warning shot - just intended to get your attention and at the same time not having to explain to the local authorities how that stiff wound up in his driveway.
BTW - My Aunt Nona stayed high and dry up on the hill. There are many that were not as lucky and got washed out. About the best you can say is that there was not a huge loss of life - so we are grateful for that. Still - say a prayer for those that have lost their house or their business.......

The Pentagon is just fine. Listened to it last night and found it was sweet as honey.
Thank you Daniel.
Cal,
I didn't get a chance to hear them at the meet, are you bringing the upgraded Pentagon next year?
Best Regards,
Terry
Terry, the update was really just him fixing one of the gain pots but it was unusable without the fix. He also combined the two amplifier power cords into one which is pretty darn handy so I'm very pleased. Good turn around time too. I managed to combine the trip with picking up the new Frugel Horn Mk III with EnABLed CSS EL70 drivers. I will post pics of them and a listening impression soon.
I know that i might be going to Kimberley in Canada in about two years. But that's not 100% sure and i guess it wont be at the same time as the diyFEST. But when i get older, get a job and start making money i might save up for a trip
