Open House and Video work

The two are not related. Yet?

I have a couple little video projects I'm working on now! Finishing up on a wedding, starting on a year-long video project (tracing the seasons of a certain ranch) and helping Jared Joyce on some video projects and pitches he has coming up.

The condo has had a couple showings, about three open house dealies and no offers. :( We're thinking about taking it off of the market for a bit of time to calm down on the whole thing. We'd rent a storage unit to move the majority of our stuff to, clean out the "2" car garage and see if we can't keep our vehicles cozy and isolated from the snow for some of the coming-faster-than-I-can-believe winter. (not to mention I had a block heater installed last winter and will need that sucker again, I'm sure.)

Its a little disheartening just because we see so many awesome deals going on around us for houses to buy; and can't make a move on any of them!! We even have one home that we consistently refer to as 'the home that got away.' ... and even went so far as to not go to an auction on a home next to it 'cuz we didn't want to live beside the people that got OUR home! ... .. ahhh.. yeah. weird, I know.

Working at Vann's has been entertaining and mostly fun. There sure are some nice toys/tools in that building. I've just completed designing and purchasing my Theater equipment (see post below) and now I'm all about saving my way into owning a Big Green Egg. I've been able to sell a few of them and its a 100% "WOW!" reaction when it comes to how awesome that thing is to cook on.
I just finished editing a little video of a demo by our Panamax rep... he blows up a 'Surge Protector' in it. Pretty fun stuff, you can hear us all yelling in the background when the surge protector catches on fire. I'm not sure the legality of posting it, so it will probably never show up on here? If I figure out differently, I'll let you know. Its a fun little video.

Our Theater system...

This is me scrimping and saving and doing video and "stuff" for extra cash!

Marantz 7005 Receiver
Definitive Technology ProCinema 2000 Center Channel
Definitive Technology BP 8040ST Front L&R Floor Standing
Definitive Technology SR 8040BP Rear L&R Surrounds
APC H15 Power Center ... seriously, if you don't have a powercenter, get one... "power strips" are NOT A/V friendly.

AudioQuest wiring connecting everything (components & speakers) + Banana Plug Terminals to make it all easy to hook up.

Mind you, I'm waiting on the Def Tech speakers... they've not yet been released. The receiver I pre-ordered and got one of the first sent out... its been a blast to setup and play with. I can't wait until the remote control app for my iPhone is operational! (sometime around end of Sept with firmware upgrade to receiver)

... I love you Addie. :)
