Spent about 12 hours in the man cave today. Watched 3 movies, 2 concerts and listened to lots of music.

My second week of vacation is nearing its' end...I had forgotten what it's like to be off for so long. Got lots of things done too....first week me, my wife and my daughter went on a road trip around the Gaspe area of Quebec.

For the second week I got lots of things done on my gear that I"ve wanted to do for a long time....set up 4 acoustic panels, bass traps and corner traps. Finally installed the RDO tweeters in the SRS, upgraded the electrical wall sockets, installed the side axis speakers, upgraded another amp, and tuned the system as best I could.

I came "this close" to buying a 52" lcd but held back for a while longer due to other upcoming expenses.

    I take a two week vacation every year, there's nothing like going through the weekend and realizing you're still off for another week.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.

    Ricardo, it was no easy task changing the tweeters on the left SRS. The screw heads of at least 7 screws were rounded out. I had to cut slots into the screw head and use a screwdriver to remove them. Inevitably, the original tweeters now have cut marks on them. WOW...has it been 30 months since I got them?

    Glad you are finding time to relax Joe. The Gaspe is beautiful. Lived there for 5 years.
