Interesting setup for your network, David. Lots of overlap. I've been thinking of adding an extender in the barn. It's 60 yards from the house, and our wifi router is right next to the kitchen window, so we get good line-of-sight reception out there. However, once we get the dog agility course and new shooting range set up in the pasture (behind the barn), it would be nice to have reception out there as well. I know The Wife will be spending a lot of time out there. With any luck, so will I.
Congrats on the move, Drew. Seems like you're being warmly welcomed back home. I share your frustration with inconsiderate drivers. As someone who drives the posted speed limit, I rarely pass anyone. However, those who pass me are frequently doing 20mph or more faster than me. On the drive to work this morning, it seemed more people than normal left too late to get wherever they needed to be on time. Wifey recently bought two new dash cams for our cars. I still need to get mine installed. This one has front and rear cameras. I've often thought of stringing together some clips of what it's like to drive the speed limit when everyone around me appears unbound by that limit. Sometimes, I'm amazed that they didn't actually hit me.
Kyle, the amount of PA you'll need depends on the material and the venue. You'll need more power outside than inside, obviously. If it's just your daughter singing and an instrument or two, a small system with speakers on stands (what we call "boxes on sticks") will work fine . If there's a full band with drums and bass, she'll probably need a larger system with subwoofers, especially outdoors. You might check with some local bands or club owners to see who they use. Those guys haven't been working all year, so there should be plenty of options available, and they will be more than happy to supply your needs.
One of the things we did over the weekend, Roy, was to record the details of our gun collection on a spreadsheet. We did this partly for insurance purposes, which will hopefully never be needed. More so, though, it provides a reference for my Wife of what is what, and what ammo it uses. She likes to shoot, but she's not a gun nut like I am. It's not a large collection (23, to be exact), but it's more than she cares to try to remember. Along with the info, we also took individual photos of them all, with any magazines or bayonets or other accessories that go with them. We made two reference books; one is in the gun safe for quick reference, and one is in the valuables safe. One of the shotguns, a Remington 870 12g, I bought from a former coworker back in '03. He'd won it in a raffle somewhere, but never shot it. When he told me he'd won it, I offered to buy it from him, but he declined. When that place was closing and letting people go a couple years later, he came to me and asked if I still wanted it, so I bought it for $150 ... brand new, unfired. I took it home and put it in my safe, where it sat for almost three years before I finally shot it.
