Congrats D, you sound happy and proud. As the years have past I'm come more and more to realise the value of my own parents, and speak with my dad much more as a friend. It's a gift. It sounds like your son knows it too.
Me, it was a redecorating weekend. Ug.
Deb did most of the painting already but I had to try to install the 4" high bar code around a 50" high x 107" long twin window.
I've used these decor stickers before, but for some reason these just didn't work, unlike bandaids they only stuck where they weren't supposed to

As the kids would say, fail.
I did paint my AR9s black (sacriledge!!). I wouldn't usually do something like that, but they did have some cosmetic issues and getting them closer into the SOs decor has other advantages
They look pretty cool, like monoliths. (I had already removed the chrome trim around the woofer grills)
