Well, it’s Wednesday and it was a day off from work. Heather and I woke up to some hot weather at about eight-thirty this morning and we headed right into the shower to try and cool off a little bit. After we got out of the shower, we watched a little bit of “The Early Show” and found out that Roscoe, NY (a town that Heather and I have been driving through, throughout the last two summers) is now known as “Fishtown U.S.A.”. It was actually kind of exciting to find that out. I then watched “Dr. Phil” and about half way through the show, Heather took off and headed out to take care of some things around town. She also headed over to Vestal to get the woofers to my KLH speaker finds. I went into the basement and played some COD:BO till Heather got home. I even figured out how to have my Playercard look like Captain America’s shield and I have to say, it looks pretty cool!
After Heather got home, I ate a very quick lunch and put my KLH speakers back together. I then discovered that my one speaker was doing okay, but it was missing a good, working tweeter. Who knew this would become the “hunt of the day”. Tara decided to come along with me on my hunt. I headed over to “Advanced Auto” to see if they had a car tweeter, but nothing that would fit. We headed over to “Radio Shack” and they didn’t have anything either. We then hit up “Guitar Center” and “Unicorn Electronics” and came up short at both places as well. Someone suggested “Hyle Audio” and I headed over there and on a whim, the guy had one that I thought would work. So, Tara and I bought it for twenty bucks, and then headed home. We made a quick stop at “Lowes” to get some new connectors and came home.
We got home and I tested out the speaker and it worked out perfect. Only one problem. It didn’t quite fit the cabinet. No problem, I used my dremmel and cut out the speaker to make it work. I worked hard and had the speaker put back together and had everything put together. It was about three-thirty by the time I got done and had the home theater room back together. I played COD:BO for a little bit with the new sound system. I then went on the “Jolly Rogers Squadron” boards to look for some answers for some parts for my Tie Pilot for my new costume. I then watched a bunch of episodes of “South Park” and “Gene Simmons Family Jewels” till Heather and the kids joined me in the basement for dinner. We ate tacos while we watched two episodes of “Mythbusters” before we cleaned up dinner. After that, we watched “Big Brother” and two episodes of “Parking Wars”. The kids went to bed and Heather and I watched the two new episodes of “Storage Wars” before going to bed.
Okay, let’s talk about Part 5 of “Star Wars – Omega Squad: Targets” by Karen Traviss……
Part 5: Holonews Update, 18:30: Interesting that the primary concern of the CSF was the release of the Senator as a hostage while the Commando Squad wanted to get everyone out. I love that Skirata volunteered to enter ahead of Ordo and taht the hostage taker, Nuriin-Ar is already asking for food and water. Skirata saw this for the trap that it was, Skirata also doesn’t fear the inevitable attack by the Commandos because he knows his own boys see his life as a potential sacrifice…..
