It's really a shame that common devices, like cellphones for example, don't have cameras built in.

Still waiting to see some Mr.Stanley Story Photos. He joined January 2006. Plenty of time to buy a digital camera and learn how to use it.

I swapped out my pair of Monitor Audio Climate 80's for a set of Klipsch CA800T's on my porch. Man what an improvement!

The Klipsch sound better than Monitor Audio? I am taken back by that as I don't like anything they make aside from a sub or two.

What is better? Mid's? Imaging? Bass response?

Today i met the girl i want to marry (my girlfriend of 13 years).

Apx 10AM... I grab my laptop from my backpack and run towards the dining room table. She says "whats going on, everything okay?". I respond with "facebook fight, i need access to a full keyboard". She responds with "is it good? are you winning?".

For the first time ever i programmed a new garage door remote and a new key fob for a 2008 Nissan we just bought as a second car. I know i know... but seriously this was the first time i have ever needed to do this in my entire life. I didn't have a garage of my own until i was 32. I lived in Chicago until then where a garage space can cost close to your apartments rent...if you can even find one.

Youtube videos had me playing expert DIY programmer in minutes. Now to organize the back part of the garage so that 3 vehicles fit.

The plan...

If there is one thing I have that makes me feel like I am in some way better than my neighbors, it is that I can park 2 cars in my 2 car garage. Most people near me cannot grasp this concept. They choose to park outside and scrape ice off the windows in winter (I know some of you cannot grasp that concept either...you with your 70 degree "winters"), let cats get muddy paw prints all over, and the birds $4!+ on their cars. Mind boggling stuff. I tell you.

lol.

I have always been very organized. I even have a 2-week rule. "If you haven't touched it in 2-weeks... you don't need it". Chicago Apartment living gets you used to not storing anything... because you have no storage.

With my garage i always keep it clean and organized. I back the cars out every other week to remove spider webs and pressure wash the concrete. 2 times in my life i have had the garage full of junk. Once about 5 years ago when i moved everything from our warehouse to my place so i could sort through it and right now because my brother moved in with us.

We have a huge unfinished basement right now with nothing in it. I won't allow anyone to use the space for storage. I can't stand it. The property owner left a bunch of stuff around the house in closets and in the garage. My first night here i went around gathering his stuff, tagging it and putting it all in one place :).

No. Its a base model Juke S. I didn't even know what it was when i went to trade in the 2012 Versa S we bought the year before. The Versa S was actually a great car but we got it without power windows and door locks thinking "who cares! it will save us 2 grand". A year later we cared... we hated the car lol. I got it detailed and went to the dealership looking for a cube or Kia Soul. Sales guy said "what about a juke? i can give you 2 grand cash back and ill buy your versa for what you owe".

We took it for a test drive and loved it. It's super zippy and fun to drive. We were going to get another one but went with the used Versa at the last minute. I fight myself (financially) every minute of every day lol. I would love to have an A5 in the garage sitting next to a Juke NISMO RS but i also want to be able to eat lol. Right now i have 2 cars with $650 monthly for payment and insurance. This leaves room for a new van. The NISMO would have squeezed me too much.

Planning ahead and the want/need to tinker. I keep reading these threads about van organization and i want to get in on the action :). The craziest part of this? We just started the apx 100 day process (vet visits & vaccines) that will allow us to move to Hawaii with our dogs :).

I was in Florida for 6 months. I have been home for 4 weeks. I finally got caught back up with local clients and opening my mail at home so now I'm in "Home Project Mode".
