I’ve been pretty busy… my once regulars will probably have summed as much and faded away, attracted to those that update at least periodically. Thats fair enough. I can’t blame you, or them.

Anyways…

I am still busy. Actually really busy, and likely to get busier.

Bode well for updates? Probably not.

But I can try my best.

But enough of this… why am I so busy?

Well, work is ramping up, and will continue to do so over the next month or so as I temporarily take on extra duties.

I recently installed mounts for two speakers either side of our fireplace in our living room. That was a pretty decent sized project (and I am not talking about off the shelf type mounts - I made these from scratch out of some 1×2 lengths of wood), at least for me, and I got to use some new tools that my father-in-law generously gave to me. Unfortunately, that is just the beginning. Now I need to run speaker wire inside the wall on the other side of the living room, up into the ceiling, across it, and then down the side of the fireplace on the other side of the living room to the speakers. Once I do that we should have 7.1 surround sound from our entertainment center. But that seems like such a long way away, a journey of running wires, navigating studs, crossbars, crawling in attics, banging heads (mine, mostly), trial and error, and probably some mistakes to cover up. Yup, fun fun.
