That’s basically what I do also. Every so often, my wife wants to watch her shows, so I give her the sounds and use headphones through the roku app.

But yeah, I’ll throw on red zone, OTA, Fox Sports Go and then usually a soccer match or something else. If only 3 things on, Red zone gets the bigger window and then 2 games get the smaller. 

Looking forward to baseball season and being able to watch a bunch at once. 

The nice thing is using a USB extension into a laptop or tablet or something. You can download the program (in pics above) and change everything basically instantly. So if something goes to halftime you can switch audio to another window instantly.

Is that USB extension bluetooth/wife enabled or will I have a cable running to the couch? I'm so pumped about this. Wife and I started drawing up some plans and potential layouts for the reno.

I have it run under a couch, so it’s hidden. But a Bluetooth/WiFi USB might work. I might be asking you if it does lol

This picture includes 3 of my latest purchases.  

1) Hoop for the kids

2) 60" Woods RTR 60.40 tiller

3) New Holland Workmaster 33 w/ loader package.

Had lots of fun messing around with it today.

Looks like a nice toy to have. How big is your property? 

We have about 5.8 acres.  2.5-3 acres of pasture, 3/4 acre pond, and probably 2.5 acres of mowing.  The tractor is bigger than we need, but it was cheaper than smaller models from competitors.  I'd rather have too big than too little (twss).  Our main uses will be:

- Tilling up 36x36 paddock/corral area.  We have clay soil, and it gets harder than a rock

- Tilling up a 100x100 riding arena (constantly) to keep it nice and soft (daughter is in 4H... practice)

- Removing horse shit (see big pile in the background)

- And I'm sure there will be lots of other things that come up

For comparison, costs of tractors:

- New Holland 33HP - $19500 (0% for 60 mo)

- John Deere 24 HP - $19800

- Mahindra 24 HP - $22000 (0%)

- Massey 24 HP - $16600 (financing would have put total cost of tractor over $21000)

- Kubota 24 HP - $21000

I bought some new brewing equipment and put it to use yesterday. I posted the stock photo of the kettle a few weeks ago. This shows it in use, along with my new counterflow chiller (copper coil) that allows me to chill the boiling wort down to yeast pitching temps (74 degrees) in 10 minutes or less. It used to take close to an hour with my old chiller.

A house.

Hopefully a boat soon to follow

piggybacking of off ETB

New or used?  What's the model?  Features/attachments? 

New 1025r. 60" mmm, front end loader. I sold my 4115 and bought this so I still have a John Deere sprayer for it and a Frontier tiller and Frontier snow blower. And a couple tractor supply attachments like a sub soiler and post hole digger. 

Ok...this is more of a cry out for help than a latest purchase. I've discussed switching from cable to SlingTV on here previously. We got the AirTV and I bought the most powerful antenna they had (70 mile radius for local channels) and all we can get are three local channels out of West Virginia. We are within 50 miles of Cleveland & Pittsburgh and less than 25 from Youngstown so this can't be right. At worst, we should be picking up the Y-Town stations. Any suggestions? We're about to scrap the whole thing and just go without local channels which will blow come NFL Sunday. Help !?!?

On a side note, is anyone familiar with the infinity box?

YoutubeTV may offer the local channels you want

Did you go through scanning for channels on your tv?

Yes. It scanned and there were 3 local channels (all WV) that came up. They said the antenna was multi-directional but I'm wondering if we'd be better off with it facing North, towards Cleveland?

Doubt that would matter much but I guess can't hurt.

What WV stations are you getting?

Near Alliance, OH. I'm about equal distance between Cleveland & Pittsburgh

I’d aim it towards Youngstown. Those towers are only 25-30 miles away. If you aim it to Cleveland your looking at 40-50 miles. I don’t know where the WV stations are coming from though. Are you using an old school antenna that goes on the roof and is metal? A lot of times your signal will weaken if it isn’t high enough (roof). So 70 miles becomes 35...

Again, don’t get the WV stuff though.

Picked this guy up to stand watch over my Lagavulin.

New Microsoft Surface Book 2 15"

Arris modem, Netgear 55 router, Epson wireless printer and for the wife a new stainless steel dishwasher

I picked up a Walther PPS.  Should be a nice everyday carry weapon.

had to buy a new phone since i'm leaving my job. got an iphone x. It's not worth the $1000 price tag, but considering my options started at $700 i don't feel too bad about the extra coin.
