Stereo

So I recently acquired a stereo that a friend gave me in exchange for some work performed. It was exactly what I was looking for: an analog receiver (late seventies Techiniques vintage), some old (but excellent sounding) Boston Acoustic speakers and a turntable. And a CD player too. I haven't had a stereo to call my own since the eighties. So this will be a summer of loud Van Halen albums - a good band to listen to in the sun and warmth.

But today was a day of work, and off to a work send-off for someone moving to Portland to launch another facility there. It's at Boundary Bay, always a fun place to go to in nice weather (as today is).

Gotta run.

Oh, and above is a picture of the Roeder Home, oddly enough a family with roots in Vermillion, Ohio - the next town over from where I used to sail on Lake Erie. (Actually, I dug up a picture of me and a friend in Vermillion from years back - to the right). But the Roeder Home is considered a mansion in Bellingham. Funny how everything around here in nature is so grand and magnificant, yet the homes (well the older ones, at least) are modest, functional and small.
