    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    I think I am grabbing the Woo Audio WA6. I just wish I was willing to shell out the cash for these beauties! I would love to try and build some tubes, someday. I have a buddy who's dad was a TV and Radio repair man. His dad died ~25 years ago. He said he has a ton of tubes... 2-300. All tested and working 25 years ago. He said some are still brand new in unopened boxes, some are used, but all test good. He told me if I brought him a good cigar and a bottle of bourbon I could have them. I am anxious to see what he has. I think I may try to build if the score is good. I want to see what tubes I have to work with then start some schematic hunting. My only concern is how will I make the chassis? I want anodized aluminum (black) with some wood accent plates. I am thinking a curly mahogany like my mains, or a crotch mahogany... Well then you need to get him what he wants to play with those tubes. You never know what you will find with those oldies. Certainly you have a local machine shop that can machine the bottom and anodize it.

    Indeed. But admittedly I am getting a little tipsy right now. Hard rootbeer is fucking good! Sounds good, what kind? I take my drink to the hot tub and try not to get too drunk. Small Town Brewery's Not Your Father's Root Beer. It tastes like an A&W root beer float. I say float, because it has a fair vanilla taste to it. I can't detect any alcohol in it, but I have had a girl say she had a slight alcohol taste on the finish. It is so much like root beer that you even get the heavy gassy burps. It is retardedly good. I will have to keep an eye out for that, thank you.

    Just got a phone call. Uncle Neal you need to take me golfing this week, I told him pick a day Wed or Thur and we can make a day out of it. Looks like Thursday I am taking my little buddy Gavin golfing. Funny how I am the only one he will ask to take him golfing. We will have lots of fun!

    Then she asks dad can I take the 4runner? I told her she better take care of it because I like that 4runner more than her mother at times. She gives me that look...

    Not sure if I want to be called in at all hours either. Been there and done that, it is nice not having to drop what I am doing to go to work.

    Good luck! At the hospital I applied for my job 4 times in 7 years. Not to excited, it seemed like three different shoot the shit sessions. Meaning not the typical interview, more of a courtesy interview. No worries I got it made where I am.
