As for the cross country trip. that is something being discussed for the future but much more likely to happen in a sprinter van.
It also will be a longer term adventure. The key point there is it would be done with my wife.
The timing just doesn't work right now. I got the dog 10 days ago and we are just working on his training.
Barb leaves for Italy next week and doesn't get back until mid-April.
I have a bunch of projects kicking off here at the house.

I also want to build a shed while my wife is traveling.

So, Jerry, I must ask. How many vehicles are now in the fleet? Do you have plans to move any out of the fleet?

And, why those massive speakers?

It's a shame I already have my return ticket or I would drive it back for you. I'm going to be in the SF area in April.

I have an emotional attachment to them. Back when I was in the audio Biz these were the attainable benchmark.
My true fantasy system would be the Infinity Reference Standard http://www.infinity-classics.de/mode.../IRS/IRS30.jpg
But these rarely come on the market and can sell for the price of a small house.

You should have called me first before booking!

@Lainey it is now 9 Mercedes.
I am planning on fleet reductions although his highness may have just made them substantially more valuable with the 25% tariffs.

Jerry, you have a used car lot going! Watch out that the town doesn't catch on.

Are you kidding?
The town loves me and my cars. Even though they are older cars the excise tax value stays at 10% of original retail pricing.
I do hate it when that stack of bills shows up.
