The Pass Pub: The High-End Off Topic Thread

[WBS]

Been really busy, so just catching up on pub craziness while trying to wake up on a quiet Sunday morning.

I'm just glad Nelson selected Chill Mode for his Model Y. It seems very appropriate! I can't wait to see Jill's new F150 Lightning next year.

This is my fave Tesla demo.

Hi Everyone!! Just stopping by to say hello and let you know that I am still among the breathing.

Of course I have been swinging from branch to branch of my family tree and may have discovered a blood relative from my real baseline of Dutch ancestors.

Hope that Papa's factory up in CA foothills is safe from current fires burning. Sad to see photo's of little towns I used to visit burned to the ground.

Does anybody think that the festival this year should just be called, "The Amp Festival". That's not a joke, it's out of respect.

Condolances to all affected. In all honesty, in most all ways 2020 and 21 could have been skipped.

And please: take a deep breath all few seconds....

Thank you Dirk,

I am doing fine considering all things going on except I'm in mourning for a friend that I have lost due to the COVAD-19 bug. Her name was Starr and she only lasted about two days with the virus before it did her in. I knew her from the early 1980's and saw her post almost every day on Facebook. Her last post was Aug 4th and then boom - no more post - all over - all gone.

Life is a precious gift my friends so take time to enjoy it and your family and loved ones!

Attached is a photo of Starr (the lady on the far right) and me (on the far left) at a reception dinner for a friends wedding rehearsal back in the mid 80's.

Albert, you and I, as we get on up in years are experiencing similar things. Like everyone else on the planet, the older you get, the more you lose those who are close to you. Goodness knows that a big thing around here this past 3 years has been the loss of many. I guess it only ends when we are the ones they talk about. Unitl then, sorry for your losses as you are for mine.
Take care my friend, happy swinging (from the trees that is)

OMG! We just polished off one of the best California Cabernets ever produced.

This may have been my last bottle of 1974 Cask A-9.

John Daniel Jr. really knew what he was doing!

Papa is simply the best, better than anyone, and so the song goes.

SIT’s or power SiC’s maybe? Hmmm. Kinda hoping the time has come to revisit current source/power trans-conductance with SiC. It’s been a few years now Or maybe SIT power trans-conductance, if even possible
