Damn, I was just asking Ronbo about you when we were out in California. Good to see you doing well as well as working on this new project of yours.

Hey Crawdaddy! I have been thinking a lot about Ron with hurricane Sandy. I hope he is OK.
I have been very blessed in my life. Especially in the last 9 years. I have a wonderful family and a good career. Now it is time to fulfill my dream of my dedicated HT room.
I wish I could have seen you folks. I do think about all of you often.

As of early today, Ron was still dealing with the no power situation. Yeah, we were talking about the first HT Meet out in LA when you lost your cell phone at the Tonight Show taping.

Texture was done today. Light sanding tomorrow and then paint!
Sorry no pics today. Too much plastic hanging everywhere making it difficult.

Very curious how it looks like, when it is finished.
