    So I pondered about this guy after watching the videos, while running some errands today.

    I'm thinking - this guy has an awesome retirement life! :smile:

    Cool shop in the basement, he works on his inventions, on his own time. And having fun! Just waking up every day and wanting to build stuff! How cool!

    I hope to get there someday.

    I also pondered how the WAF was negotiated on those speakers! :smile:

    If I heard him correctly, I believe that they have 2 houses.
