It is....contemplating one bad-ass change in system but more later as I am already loving the music the system produces and am 75/25 right now on the prospect [emoji16]

Awesome! I have a couple of mods in mind + one to implement when I get settled in the new place.

Looks like we will have plenty to discuss soon [emoji3]

Nothing too big here...a multi-channel amp upgrade & a swap out of my CAPS 3 server for a Raspberry PI for the digital system.

I do have a recently re-conditioned Yamaha CR-1020 to set up for a new 2-channel system somewhere in the new place.

Michael,
Safe travels my friend. We're heading west to Death Valley in our Airstream next week. I'll be watching for a Ram with a U-Haul following it as we pass through Arizona.

And safe travels to you as well, Terry. Enjoy Death Valley!

Oh...don't drink the water while you are there.

Well, we made it!

It's been a hectic time since I last posted but as of today we have:

12/2019 Visited Wickenburg, Phoenix, Peoria, Mesa, Apache Junction and all points in between on a house hunt trip. Took us 3-1/2 days to get here. Wife flew back to Portland due to business comittments and I drove back in 2 days, leaving Mesa early on a Saturday morning, traveling through Kingman, Lost Wages, UT, ID & back to Oregon. Arrived in Hillsboro Sunday night. Loved the drive and had no problems other than some freezing fog, a bit of snow and a little bit of ice.

12/2019 Downsized the contents of the Oregon house, did some repairs and sold off a bunch of stuff.

01/2020 Listed the house then put it under contract. We had a firm offer $20K over asking price in less than 2 days after we listed. After the buyer's inspection we had a few repairs left to do.

02/2020 Finalized sale and closed on Oregon home, packed up, made offer on a home in Apache Junction, drove to Arizona, closed on the AJ house, movers delivered household goods the next day and we are unpacking. Got a few small repairs and changes to make here but it's moving forward.

Of course, the list of things we need to complete keeps growing!

My workshop and the wife's glass studio are still in complete disarray but we make progress each and every day. A few house mods are on that To Do list and have to be done before I can set up the A/V goodies. Soon I'll be in a position to listen to my system again!

Here are a few pics of the adventure:

As you can see we still have a LOT of unpacking and organizing to do!

Sorry...I have no idea why these pics are so large. I wonder if Photobucket is on the fritz again...

Thanks for sharing your journey.
