I'm terribly sorry, but I have to cancel my February BFT. Last Friday our refrigerator went belly up - gladly the replacement was already waiting in the basement as we had planned some changes in the kitchen, but this meant spending Saturday with breaking down the old fridge/freezer and its housing, painting the wall behind it, and getting the new fridge up to 3rd floor. Transporting the old stuff to the dump is due tomorrow, buying and mounting some kitchen furniture will take the rest of the week.

Even worse, my main computer got caught in a restart loop - a first diagnosis means getting a new hard drive or a new computer, luckily I have a recent backup, but getting a new machine and transferring all my datra and software licences is not exactly what I wanted to do during my days off after Christmas. I have the music slection almost done, but it will take some time before I can transfer the tracks to MP3 etc. 

As I said, very sorry, I will step back in line as soon as evrything is back up and running. I may have little time to check in here over the coming weeks, so happy holidays to everyone, besides these minor mishaps we're fine and looking forward to some quieter days.

 

p.s. sending this from my tablet

Mike I believe that Thom prefers a physical CD to MP3 files if you are using his site for hosting. So you shouldn't actually have to transfer to MP3 as long as you don't mind shipping the darn thing to the States.

Having said that, I could slip in to Mike's spot if needed. ;)

Thanks Dan. Please let us know Mike. If it is easier for you to go to a later month, Dan will take February.

Dan, I actually did not have you down for any month in 2017. If Mike does stay with February, we can discuss which other month you would like to do.

I can also slip into Mike's spot, or any spot this year. Somehow I have already completed two discs of BFT material in preparation for my 2017 BFT.

I've only very recently considered a list of track possibilities. So if Mike drops out, I'd have to move quick which is a good thing, no obsessing over what to use and what to drop.

Dan, if you do not want to move quick, I have a BFT all ready to go for March. I could take February and you could take March. This all depends on Mike deciding not to keep February for sure though.

I'm cool with February if Mike can't make it work.

Thank you for your understanding! I was saved by a good friend working in some IT company, one of whose colleagues is a specialist for the type of notebook I have, he just returned it. All my data are saved, but I have to re-install most software, type in all the license keys etc. - but I think I can make it. My hard disk is not defective, must have been some mishap during the last update procedure. 

The old fridge is in the dump, the new one in the kitchen, we're out for the furniture parts tomorrow - all is well again.

What's this about burning the fridge after somebody took a dump in it? What kind of cabaret act IS this?

Hey, Jim, since you are here anyway.....April, August, September and October are open in 2017. Do you want to present a Blindfold Test in one of those months? Your last test was so remarkable!
