Secret second hobbies
I have two, the first is audio and music. I'm at about 3000 or so albums, 2000 CD's, and about 20,000 albums on digital. The shop system is two pair of large Advents, a pair of Dahlquist subwoofers, a Denon main amp, Kenwood tuner, Hafler subwoofer amp, and a Dahlquist active crossover.
Here's the house setup, some small B&W's for casual listening. The big box on the right is an 18" JBL pro woofer in about an 8 cu.ft. box. The main system is a Harmon Kardon receiver and CD player, Technics turntable, and a Dynaco amp for the sub.
The main speakers are a pair of Dahlquist DQ-10's, stacked on top of each other and driven by a Denon amp.
The other love is cooking. I grew up in a restaurant, doing my first shift in Dad's cafe at the ripe old age of 14 or so. Dad rousts me out of bed at about 0500 one Sunday morning and says get up and get ready, the breakfast cook is in jail for drunk and disorderly so you're next in line. I have a "problem" with commercial kitchen equipment. I'd have a full pro kitchen if I were to do it all over again. As is, I have this beast of a stove, four 25K burners with a 24" flattop on the left. The oven will take a 25+ pound turkey easy.
The newest toy is a commercial griddle for outdoor cooking. It weighs more than I do by a healthy margin.
