      Well it looks like I will be saying goodbye to Pa soon and hello to TN.  At the end of this month, wewill be moving to West TN, near Memphis.  Not sure exactly where yet, but we are excited.  I am hoping this move will give me a bigger shop and more land.  I have even been considering an outdoor theater.  Because…well that would be sweet!  If any of you live near there let me know.  We will get together and build something.

      Well, I’m nowhere near Memphis … But good luck on the move.  I hope it works out really well for you and your family.

      That is too bad.  Thank you for the thoughts.  We hope so too.  It is a big move, but we are excited about it.

      I guess I’ll have to catch up to you another time. Hanging in Dover, Pa with my oldest at the moment. Maybe I’ll make it to MWAF or something else in the next year or so. 

      Good luck on the move and looking forward to whatever new projects it brings.

      And to think Dover is right down the road from me.  Have a few friends who live there.

      Hopefully you find someone to buy your current house quickly.

      Yeah.  And hopefully I can put the finishing touches on it soon. 😆  Touching up some drywall today.  I hope to be ready to list the house in 1.5 weeks.

      Good luck with the move!  I’m in central Kentucky, so, nowhere near Memphis.

      Thanks man, I appreciate it.  I still may head up to Kentucky sometime to go to Eminence. That would be cool to see.

      Good luck with the move. I know it can be stressful but Like I said, if there’s any way I can help, lemme know and I’ll see what I can do!

      Seriously.  We can also meet up at The City Museum in St. Louis sometime.  The kids would love it.

      Thank you.  I need it.  The realtor is coming tomorrow to list the house.  Hopefulyy it’ll seel quickly.  It’s one of the reasons I haven’t been on as much.  I have been working hard to get this house ready for the market.

      I’m also a fan of the city museum. It’s a hard museum to describe but awesome is one word.

      Looks like the house will be on the market Tuesday.  Here’s hoping someone wants a theater room 😀 😀

      Good luck with the sale. We recently went through updating our house to get it ready for the market. That was basically the entire 2.5 years of owning our last house. We got a good deal because it needed so much updating.

      As someone else mentioned, the city museum in St. Louis is amazing.

      Just arrived in TN last night. I plan to unpack the best two days and then I’ll be able to catch up on some of these topics. Sorry this is what has been crazy

      Great to hear you are safe and sound. 😉 Moving can be such a pain. I hated it the last 2 times I did it, and I stayed in the same town! 

      Do what you have to, the Forum’ll be here.

      Hi Nick!

      Welcome to the middle of the country. I live in Fort Wayne, IN, about 9 hours away. Once you get settled in and shop set up, let us know. I would be up for a road trip to Memphis. I’ve been through there, but never spent time there. I am cleaning/rearranging things in my house so I can finally get an electronics workshop set up, too. Looking forward to seeing what you post once you get unpacked and back to normal. We will be here, as will the forum. Take care of family, you, and life first! 

      Hint: Can’t wait to hear what you found out about DATSv3!

      Well I have been down in TN for a little while now.  I am temporarily setting up my CNC and a few other pieces of equipment, but my wife and I just had an offer on a house accepted.  We don’t have a closing date yet, but hopefully I’ll be in a house sometime next month.  Then can have everything setup more permanently.  That will feel great.  The last few months have been crazy. It’ll be nice to get back to normalcy.

      I am just outside of Nashville.  At this exact moment I’m due north of Memphis on a work trip.  Which means I am not building speakers this weekend.

      If you ever want to get together, let me know.  We could even collaborate on a build.  I used to live in Antioch…many years ago.  And we just had our offer accepted on a house.  Probably about 2.5 – 3 hours to the heart of Nashville.

      If all goes well, we will close this Monday on our new house. How should we celebrate? Maybe another giveaway?  I’ll keep you guys updated

      Let us know if it went through and I’ll raise a glass for you and the fam. 

      If you do hold another give away I’ll look forward to hearing from the winner. Have a great weekend.

      Thanks Guys!  We closed on Monday and have been slowly moving our stuff out of storage and setting it up.  In fact, my wife wants to start a second channel “fixing up” the house.  Who knows?  That may happen.  But we ended up buying a house that was for sale by some friends of my family.  They never advertised it, so it sat for a while.  There’s 7.5 acres of land, a fishing pond and a pool (that I am not looking forward to upkeeping/learning about).  Luckily 3.5 acres are cleared, should be plenty for some nice free air measurements 😀   We have big plans, including putting an outdoor theater screen up near the pool.  Who knows if it’ll happen, but it never hurts to dream 😉  Here are a few pictures.  Thanks again guys.  It feels good to finally be back in a house.

      Wow, 2-story home, swimming pool, a shop, and a fishing hole all on the same property. You hit the jackpot!! Excited for you, looks like a great new home. Best of luck on the unpacking and getting settled in.
