First off - It's great to always be able to come back to this place. It's like coming home :)

I've been gone for a few months. Part of it is due to me slacking online - I certainly have the time at work to come here.

Most of it is being too busy to keep a regular schedule here like I used to. I have the same job working for a most awesome IT company based out of OKC. I've not really spent much of anything on audio gear. I've installed some VM40s (the tall metal skinny speakers from Polks line). They are aesthetically pleasing and fit well with my decor. The RT-55s are being stored for now. I've sold off a considerable amount of my gear to make room for the family and just de-clutter.

I am now able to fit both cars in the garage which is an amazing feat. We had a garage sale and made more money than the entire neighborhood combined (audio gear...lol). It made a lot of room and I needed to be able to at least get one car in because......... the wife was expecting! 9 months passed so quickly, it's a blur.

November 4th, 2012 12:56pm CST my wife gave birth to a (hopefully) new Polkie. Kaytelyn LyAnh Nguyen:

So, now instead of staying up until 3am working, I stay up until 3am working and stopping every 3 hours to feed/change/play with her :)

Things are changing, I'm still here however.

    Congrats on the beautiful new addition. In the second pic, that was the look on her face when you told her you sold lots of gear in the garage?!

    Thanks! She's not bothered by music or loud noises at all! I think she got good training while in the womb :)
