Our Mountain Retreat

[JimK]

Hahaha! I do have a degree in Geology...

The most PC thing I can say is that "change" is relative. The climate here and in Colorado (and Virginia) WILL "warm" one of these millennia!

The past few years we've been having colder winters and cooler summers.

So, Toy, how is global warming treating you? Hahahaha. Assuming there is no progress... We are on a warming trend here. Maybe 27 degrees tomorrow. Oh boy!!!!

Morning Former! It's about 10 out now and snow pretty much covering the back. We set a new record for the month of February with over 22" of snow. Looks like the month of March is going to start out the same as we're expecting more later today. Tuesday's forecast gets even better with highs in the lower to mid teens with blizzard conditions possible. What happened to those nice 60's we had about a month ago.

Not much has been done over the past week. The pool is still covered, mostly, but the landscapers came in and moved a mountain of dirt. They were going to bring in all the rocks, 18 tons, for the waterfall and retaining wall on Friday, but it was too snowy and muddy. Hopefully tomorrow they'll be able to do something before the big storm rolls in on Tuesday.

So, to pass the time away, I've been "admiring" the salt chlorinator that was delivered a couple of weeks ago. Also, looking into how to get music piped into the backyard after all is said and done. Don't suppose you know anything about AirPlay and home theatre receivers with AirPlay?

I'm not that familiar with AirPlay, but here's a few forums full of people who could probably help;

It's been unusually cold here as well. Normally we should be in the mid 50's this time of year, but the past couple weeks or so we've only had a couple days above freezing. We've also had more snow than we've had in many, many years.

Don't like hearing that, Jim! I am headed to Hilton Head Island on Friday to watch the kid play tennis. I will be there for a week and then spending the next week in VA. I will mostly be in the valley, but probably Richmond. Doubt I'll get too much further east, though. Guess I'll pack the heavy coat!!!

Hopefully it will warm back up to normal by then.

Thanks for the links, Jim. I think I've posted on avsforum before and got an answer back that I think was in English. Some of that electronics lingo is way beyond me. Spent more time Googling text than anything else. Guess I'll give it a try again.

We have some hope for decent weather by the end of the week too. Back to the 40's by Thursday and possibly 50's by the weekend. Have to see if our patio critters made it thru the storms.

Yeah, sometimes the responses on those AV forums can be a bit technical. Being a hobby of mine, I enjoy those sites though. However, I tend to get lost when the topic deals with the more computer side of AV (wireless streaming and such).

That said, I'd be glad to help if I can. Maybe I can at least help translate some of the lingo?

Thanks again, Jim. I'm searching thru threads now to see if there are any that relate to my issue. So far, nothing. I don't suppose Ben has enabled the private messaging capability. I don't think carrying on a conversation about audio/video problems on a pool forum works too well.

Feel free to email me at chickies 75 at hot mail dt cm (format as you normally would an email address. I intentially misspelled/misformated the address here to prevent spam bots from picking it up).
