Well Ive had these set up for about a month now, but let me just say there is 0 buyers remorse.

Kirsten made sure I stayed close on budget, but I was still able to set up a high quality, and high volume system that can make my neighbors complain.

Having high def speakers is actually a really dramatic change. It's very similar to that feeling you got when seeing HD TV for the first time. It's like "Wow, I didn't know there was so much more out there."

However, if you ever find yourself complaining about lack of HD content for your TV, wait till you start checking the audio compression rates on the back of the blue ray box. Yeah... 96k is quite common, and never sounded so bad. It's like watching a non HD Chanel on the HD TV, just looks even worse.

Anyway, in the rare case where you find both inputs in high quality, the output is a remarkable experience.

Lake of the Ozarks

So Kirsten and I went out to Lake of the Ozarks the weekend past with her parents and extened family. Record setting low temps left us wanting a little more, as it was cooler at the lake then back home in LBC.

As you can see, its a long stretch of water, I heard 1200 miles of shore front. Mainly a local weekend get away from KS and St. Louis, I was not sure what to expect.

let me asure you, there was none of this happening at all.

drive by snaps - fresh on the scene

Progressive on the scene asap! LOL. Notice how the small sedan is pretty deep under that heavy truck, and pushing it out of the lane? Yeah that means the blue car was going too fast at time of impact.

Why would you sit like this???

Why not, looks comfortable enough.

Man the AA guns!

This is from the Naval museum in San Pedro.

I love Progressive

Spotted this on the back of a buddies car from work, I guess Geico wants to play hard ball.

Happy as a.....

Over this past weekend I went up to Oregon to visit my buddy Zach, and also to see my family.

The plan was to go fishing, and claming, and just have a wild time.

Fishing didn't work out, something to do with the river levels being to low. Blah!

However, we did make it out to the clam fields on Sat morn. This is a generic file photo from the internet, but they all look just like this out there. Called Razor clams. About 4 inches long, and 1 inch thick. They move quick! As soon as you start digging for one, they dig deeper stright down into the sand.
