Beautiful! Where u at?

The local prairie preserve where my other videos have been coming from.

This particular location is looking into a healthy floodplain (hence, the green flora) that is feeding into a creek which cant be seen in the background. The flipside of this beauty, if you walk through that greenery, I guarantee you'll pick up a dozen freeloading Deer Ticks.

Good to hear it's healthy. Unlike up further north where the wildfires are already well in season.

Yeah that's getting scary, even for those not in the destruction path.

Any wildfires within the last 4 years, be it from California or Canada, the Chicagoland was effected.

Last year in May-June, we were in a month and a half long drought and hitting peak summer temps even before it was seasonally correct. By the last week of June the air quality was getting so poor from the ongoing Canadian wildfires, the drought, and our own regionalized pollution, health officials were advising people to limit their exposure outside.

Climate change makes things possible 🤷

After years of searching I've finally found a new place
Can't wait to hate myself for keeping ~600 books that I now will have to sort into the new bookshelf.

Trying to clear space on my phone and I forgot about some photos/videos I wanted to share last year, but didn't want to steal from Stephen's epic adventure last fall.

Fall 2023 trail sights and sounds w/bridge

(apologizes, captured it in portrait like a dingus. Swear it looks better on my phone!)

The next day...

Two pictures of the Chicago skyline November 2023. Both were taken from the south and the second was from Soldiers Field where I attended The Chicago Bears game.

That same night before the game, Joe Biden was in town for fundraising and his convoy shut down outbound highway traffic (something I've never seen before was very eerie) at the very beginning of rush hour in Chicago.

What a contrast between the woods/fields and the skyline!

My PC at the new place is set up, so the most important thing is done*

Checks out for a guys place.

My new sound system for the living room has arrived this week and I'm currently breaking it in with Further

Please note that this is not how the speakers will eventually be set up, it's just that I couldn't wait to try them out so I just put them on the desk.

Also Bosco, I have furniture in other colours than white

Snow bis die Kalotte klippt

Stefan · Nov 29, 2024, 16:42 #131

Bis K+D+B müssen die Lautsprecher aber schon mindestens durchhalten

Stefan · Nov 29, 2024, 22:17 #132

The speakers sound amazing btw, but maybe a little cable upgrade next?

Bosco · Nov 30, 2024, 01:51 #133

Nice Klipsch! I'm jealous!

Stefan · Dec 20, 2024, 18:33 #134

Super happy with how my new entertainment system turned out

The only thing left to do is that I'm planning to add a plinth to the speaker stands by screwing a wooden board with leveling feet (currently there's just pieces of carboard to correct for the slightly uneven floor) to the bottom.

Bosco · Dec 20, 2024, 21:59 #135

yeahhhhh boi!

I like the entertainment stand vs. mounting it on the wall. Good choice.

Hmmmm, needs more Christmas though...

Might I recommend:

or the OG special:

Just putting it on a stand was the easiest way to set it up.

If it's any consolation, I had friends over to help me and the very first thing we watched after the TV we switched on was Last Christmas (4K of course).
