Thanks for the kind words all. Kelly, I really look forward to meeting you. Lou, I believe you've nailed it! There is incredible power in prayer and I thank you for yours. This seemingly small goal of going to RMAF will be a dream come true if I can pull it off. I've never attending any trade show before. Joe, never a doubt that you were up to your eyeballs in something and would return. Nate, in spite of the cheer in my voice (real) your situation just about brought me down. Few things are as frustrating as being denied the use of a new toy. At least that's how this toy afficianado sees it.
The really good news is that the simple tweak of reducing the dosages I wrote about earlier have really paid off. I had an exceptionally good weekend in comparison to other times when the dosages were larger. Last Saturday night we received an invitation for a barbeque and I enjoyed a great steak but worried terribly that my body wouldn't process it. No problem at all.
My doctor knows of our plans to go to Denver and is very supportive. I don't know whether to believe him or not but he indicated we'd schedule an extra week off from the chemo coinciding with RMAF. Man, if I can attend AND eat like a normal person I'll be one happy guy.
One by one my little audio projects are getting done. The dedicated circuits are in and today I should wrap up the fabrication of two power strips using Porter Ports and hook everything up. I realize that this DIY route is not ideal and only wish I could spring for the best audiophile grade solution. Hell, my power cords are all stock. I'm hoping that I'll get a fair percentage of improvements though. I'm not looking forward to the break in. I'll leave the system run 24/7 using the Granite Audio phono burn in CD hoping to speed things up.
The new doors look really nice and added some depth to the sound stage. Barb and I acquired two comfy chairs to compliment the new recliner occupying the sweet spot. This has freed up a lot of real estate and trust that the room won't miss the absorbtion of the love seat and overstuffed chairs they replaced. About the only shopping needed now is for a couple of smallish end tables to hold drinks and remotes. This is proving to be the most difficult purchase of all.
