   Hi RAT's,   
      
   I am returning to some semblance of life, after my little touch of jet lag   
   after my first/last international bidness trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina in   
   their Spring of 1997 (October).   
      
   I had CFS (what my old doctor buddy then called "Beverly Hills housewwives'   
   disease") until I got cancer a few years ago and the chemo/radiation did not   
   kill me, but the cancer is still all gone and after I got over the cancer   
   treatment hangover, I    
   realized the CFS was going bye-bye, too.   
      
   ASIDE: For any RAT's that think they know about hangovers, you ain't seen   
   squat until the oncologists' get through with you ;) Six months of pouring   
   liquid nutrition into a plastic tube and enough narcotics to party like it's   
   1999. Yes kids, I missed    
   that one, too ;) And vast quantities of narcotics are not always fun and games   
   recreational pharmaceuticals. Sometimes they intermittently  barely mask the   
   pain. Sigh.   
      
   Yes, I did resurrect the old Grommes rcvr. I do not have the tuner tubed. The   
   power supply now has way too many chokes and polypropylene oil can capacitors.   
      
   I listened for many months. It is offline, for the nonce, as I am listening to   
   my home brew speakers direct from the chip amp in this PC monitor. The old   
   Nipponese 12" AlNiCo woofers in klipsch heresy cabs and the Pyle PDS 182   
   compression drivers in 8"    
   round waveguides sing to bring life to my Music, compared to the 1" x 5" full   
   range toys crammed into the bottom of this monitor housing.   
      
   Happy Ears!   
      
   Al
