Episode 65 – 2011 Wrap Up, Part 2

This episode is part 2 of a car cast where we cover our highlights of 2011.

Apologies again for the audio quality as we’re testing a new set of microphones and the road noise was louder than we anticipated. Listening through we’ve come up with some ways to greatly improve the audio from the car.

Episode 63 – A New Blender

We find ourselves heading into a whole new blender and discuss it a bit.
Announcements

News

Main Topic

  • Our future plans – Another blend?!? Shut the front door!
    • Because of the economy and recent events, we are going to be moving in with the Rossi family after our house sells. It benefits both our families tremendously, beyond the financial aspect. We also have another roomie moving in, and with the full count at 6 adults, 2 small children, 3 dogs, 3 cats and one fish, we are finding ourselves in another new realm to adjust to. Far improved from the empty nest, and with ample room for our sons to visit whenever they like.

    Episode 25 – The Holidays

    Yay new cast! Oh wait, that’s not my job 🙂

    We are happy to bring you this December cast about our Holidays and what all we’ve been up to since last time.

    Correction: In the episode Chooch gives his GMail account as the name to add as a PS3 buddy. Actually, the name is “choochus2”. And for some reason, PS3 is case sensitive, so all lower case 🙂

    • Our Thanksgiving(s)
    • LotR marathon fail
    • Chooch’s trip to California
    • Christmas
    • Nephews over
